    For the first time, I saw a car with Uber stickers in my country. Wanted to peel them off, but I also don’t wanna get in a fight over it. Pretty sure it’ll mostly be used by foreigners because the local alternative has several years of advantage and is also a multinational now.

      friend, if i gotta burn down shit while facing forced disappearance to el salvador, you’d better be peeling the corporatists’ stickers off cars to protect your local alternative

        Friend, I live at least 7 timezones away from you. I appreciate you burning shit down, but the people who voted the orange fascist into power are your friends and family, not me.

          America is so large that it’s very possible that person has no friends or family who voted for trump at all. I know I don’t.

            There can be entire communities that know of no one that voted for the opposite candidate. That’s what helped feed the “stolen 2020 election” narrative. Some truly think that Trump should have won in a landslide because “No one I know likes Biden, how could he have won?”.

            Suddenly everyone is on their high horse about number of time zones away.

            Also is Uber really the number one corporation we need to be fighting right now?

          is your nation so removed from the world as to be immune to the resurrection of fascism and the march of billionaire monopolists? i suppose I’m nearly 12 timesones away from North Sentinel Island

            If the fascists here take over, it’ll be the local ones tbh. But don’t worry, I’m already running a personal trade surplus with the USA. Trump would hate me.
