@AUsefuIldiot@thatchthoughts@xwanyex No, woke cloaks it's desires behind claims of justice and equity and oppression. Their theory is that their policies are restorative and remedial and transitory, which is a lie. Wanye is not making moral claims, simply saying that he would prefer the system which benefits him.
@revoexpress@japan_nobunaga We take extra care with new guys on our crew. Maybe a coffee or a lunch for the first week or two. Lots of guys struggle a bit between jobs, buying new gear etc. It's not as formal as all this but it's not crazy.
I mentioned that my garage door was making a sound.
An American immediately said, "I got a guy."
He did not ask what the sound was. He did not ask what kind of door. He produced a guy on the basis of the word garage.
I asked who the guy was.
He said, "Just a guy."
He did not have a company name. He had a first name and a phone number in his phone saved as "Mike Garage."
That is the contact name. Mike Garage. As though Garage is his surname. As though there is a family.
I asked how he found this guy.
"My brother-in-law used him."
I asked if the brother-in-law was satisfied.
He thought about it. Then he said, "He's still standing."
The house is still standing. That is the entire review.
Inside I said: THEY DO NOT KEEP RECORDS. THEY KEEP LOYALTIES.
I called Mike Garage. He answered from inside a vehicle. There was wind. He said he could come Tuesday between eleven and four.
Between eleven and four. A window of five hours. In my country this would be a scandal. Here it is generous. He gave me a window at all. Some guys do not give you a window. Some guys say "Tuesday" and that is the whole appointment.
He came at 1:40.
He fixed it in twenty minutes. He charged me less than I expected and he did not take a card, only cash or an app I had never heard of.
Before leaving he looked at my water heater, which I had not mentioned, and said, "That's gonna go."
I asked when.
"Couple years."
I asked what I should do.
He said, "I'll give you a guy."
He gave me a guy. Mike Garage has a guy. The guy has a guy. There is a network beneath this country made entirely of men named after their function, and none of them advertise, and all of them are busy.
Inside I said: THERE IS A SECOND NATION HERE. IT HAS NO SIGNS. IT IS ENTERED ONLY BY INTRODUCTION.
I have been given four guys since.
I have a guy for trees.
I did not know I needed a guy for trees.
I have trees now, apparently. They are my responsibility. A man named Rick told me so and then left.
@Eduardo2428329@BrAgLifeEnjoyer@theepicmap It also lists the United States of Mexico as..."Mexico", while listing the United States of America as "United States". There's no consistency here at all, I don't know why you think this proves anything.
@TotallyChadical@reasonableLP@DemzDeliver It did build them, it just didn't build them in the middle of NYC, one of the most expensive places on earth. You can afford a home on a low income, or you can live in the most desirable place in the world, but you can't do both.
@dannycantalk@DrewPavlou What peaceful people are you talking about? You can value the provision of goods and services, but that can't exist until you have enough capacity for violence that other people won't simply take your things. One precedes the other. The moment you cannot defend your goods...
@isthatujawnbray@rtjcmi@ChristianityOn Yes but the baker and the construction crew and the plumber didn't have to stop what they're doing in order to participate, we delegate to professionals.
