Every day, I drive through the suburbs of Seattle and see thousands of Indian H1-B people living in $1 million homes. I get angry thinking about all the US citizens who should be living in those neighborhoods. They aren't because elites in business and government conspired to stab the American worker in the back!
@ly_rone .444 Marlin. Lever gun round for bears and whatnot. 410 shotgun hull marked "SLUG". 410 shotguns have been used as a first gun here in the us. My dad bought me one when i was 10-11 years old. For small game. Like rabbits and squirrels.
The beef fiasco shows the 3-way split in the RW & why it loses elections. The Wall Street donor class loves meatpacker oligopolies & the profits they make preying on farmers & consumers. The urban Blue state RW does not give a crap about farmers, factory workers,

You motherfuckers spent the last twenty years systematically purging young white men from the universities and the professional workforce and now you're acting confused as to why there are no young white men in the workforce.
Fuck you.
Lindsay Clancy brought all of her children into the basement. She strangled them to death one by one. The children watched in horror as they awaited their execution. She held them down and murdered them slowly and painfully. They must have cried. They must have asked why mommy was doing this to them. They must have called for help. But the person who was supposed to be their help, their protection, was now the agent of their destruction. There was nowhere else for them to turn. The last thing they felt, before their hearts stopped beating, was terror and confusion and sorrow beyond imagining.
Lindsay Clancy is a monster. A demon. She committed the greatest evil that it is possible for a person to commit. In a just society she would be convicted quickly and then dragged up the gallows and hanged. She would die for her crimes and be buried in a grave marked only by her inmate number. And all of her defenders and sympathizers would be sent to asylums, where they belong.
Private equity buyout firms enshittify everything they buy. But most people don't really understand why. It's not because some guy at the top orders "make everything more expensive and worse." It's because every key employee is suddenly made to report every two weeks on "metrics," and be rewarded or punished as a result. The only metric which matters is "how can I show I have increased EBITDA so my masters know they can sell this dog quickly for a 4X multiple?" And the only way to increase EBITDA quickly, for almost any employee, is to slash expenses, that is, quality, or to raise prices. Any long-term investment in customer satisfaction is therefore anathema (with rare exceptions). And, of course, any other goal, such as retaining long-time employees or contributing to the community, is also anathema.
Apparently the assessor drove by and decided how much more my house was worth.
Now I have to send a detailed document about all the sh*t I still have to fix, along with contractor quotes.
All because I have to fund public schools I have no intention of sending my child to.
Maybe you can just hit the voters with some charts while calling them stupid, lazy, and poor
I’ve been told by very serious political professionals, all of which uniformly told me the Iran War would last two weeks, that this is a winning strategy
First it was “just go work at Panda Express” and now it’s “just make a burrito at home”
But really it’s always
“Just shut up and go away, I want to rob and fuck you over without having to listen to your futile loser objections”
Living standards in America should have risen 10 times over since 1950. Think of the technology then vs now. Instead our elite made every American worker compete with 8 billion third-worlders by offshoring all manufacturing to China, outsourcing all IT to India, and importing the entire population of South and Central America. And so big surprise: The rest of the world saw their living standards rise 1000% while yours went down. All so that the richest 1% of Americans from the richest generation in history could die just a little richer before it all comes crashing down and communists kill their grandkids.
Solid analysis and a great conversation between Stormy and Doc Martin @wayofftheres. TLDR: when the experienced operator gets tired of listening to incompetent management, things get interesting..
