the average sports idiot has been media hypnotized into thinking a baseball salary cap is "good for the game." I hope you all enjoyed baseball being fun for a few years because MLB owners and the league are not going to let that happen much longer
Mayor Zohran Mamdani mocks Ronald Reagan’s infamous quote.
“I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’”
“I worked all day and can’t feed my family.”
@Augustusongkf@pinglyadya@RagingRaygun enjoy continuing to lean on your own proprietary conception of Heaven to sooth your insecurities about your peon role here on Earth
@Augustusongkf@pinglyadya@RagingRaygun What does that mean we should do? At the end of the day, tolerance is just an attitude, right? Why should anyone give a rip about your feelings or mine?
@Sturgeons_Law@JamaicanJihadi Also, farming meat products is ridiculously inefficient compared to growing corn, rice, soy etc. Almost categorically, fewer people would go hungry if humans did not farm meat.
Most decent people, by definition, view the liberation of these Ridglan beagles as a feel-good story. They were bred to live short lives of sadistic (and utterly gratuitous) government-funded experiments, then unceremoniously killed, and instead now are living as dogs should.
But this is because activists spent years working for this outcome, often arrested and even investigated by industry-controlled FBI and state legislatures as terrorists. They deserve immense credit and respect for their success.
“There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.”
