As more people are laid off, “I gotta go to work” becomes less compelling.
Show your work.
We really should be organizing to fight the right wing, because they’re pretty unified.
It does feel like unrest is coming. I don’t want to live in a world with car bombs in the US, but I do want all the republicans dead, so.
People should organize. If management demands that people go back into the office for nonsense reasons (eg: control, spite), management should be removed. I don’t care if that’s because they resign, or because 20 of us showed up at their house just before dawn for a surprise party.
Good. More.
There is truth here.
I think rich people will have assets, like stock, and they’ll get a loan out with the stock as collateral. They pay like 2% on the loan, but they get like a million dollars cash. If that was treated like income, they’d pay a lot more taxes.
Not sure the best way to address this, but it should be addressed.
I feel like if we had spent the money lost to tax cuts on enforcing existing laws, like really throw the book at tax cheats, like put them in orange jumpsuits and make them rot in a cell, we’d have had better outcomes.
The ultra rich should be afraid.
I enjoyed the simplicity of old video game RPGs where the price of the item directly scaled with the value of the item. Armor for 1000gp was just straight out better than the one for 300gp.
Many people don’t really think about their language. They kind of snap their phrases together like a child with those big duplo blocks.
Most of the time that’s fine, if a bit limiting. But occasionally you get glimpses into how communication could be clearer, or more accurate, if they thought about their words more.
I partly blame our public education system. Not enough funding, some funding misused, other problems I don’t even know about. But it feels like a lot of people are barely educated, and don’t have any intellectual curiosity.
But they also kill their children and innocent bystanders.
I know someone who is immune compromised because she had a rare genetic disorder, and the medicine she needs to live fucks up her immune system. She can’t benefit from vaccines. If some anti-vaxxer refuses a vaccine, gets sick, and sneezes on her on the subway, she’ll might die.
Plus very old and young people are vulnerable, too.
The person who didn’t get vaccinated might not even die, if they’re otherwise healthy.
We really need to organize and remove the conservatives from power. Peacefully is ideal, but I won’t be upset if all the republicans are hanged.
If we were all in the room, we could strangle Sam Altman or whatever other capitalist dog was calling the shots.
I don’t think we should ever forgive the anti-vaxxers. I mean, we probably should if any of them come around, but in my heart I want to just brand “STUPID” on their forehead.
“The purpose of a system is what it does” comes to mind. The laws are intended to make life worse for women.
Stupid suburban white people, maybe?
There are people that think if you walk around downtown Brooklyn you’ll be double mugged. People of the land. Common clay of the new West.
That makes sense to me.
But they don’t want to make businesses do anything, even if it means choking the oceans with trash and filling our bodies with plastic. Frankly, they’re bad people that we shouldn’t put up with.
“This violation, if proven, only warrants a symbolic fine,” Spiro argued
Reminded of the narcissist’s prayer

That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

I hope when the revolution comes, all the people like this lawyer that enabled Musk also go up against the wall.
I don’t know if that’s exactly a Venn diagram that’s a circle, but I think if you lose all the conservatives you also lose the capitalists. Whoever you’d have left would be amenable to change.
It’s the “conservatism has one rule: there must be in-groups for the law to protect but not bind, and outgroups for the law to bind but not protect” thing.
