I feel pretty let down by the fact that I grew up believing terrible people would face consequences for doing terrible things, and yet, that is precisely the opposite of what is happening in the world.
The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.
Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.
We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is.
It will never reach you.
I’m so done with “billionaires” being called job creators while they extract more wealth than entire countries produce. They don’t create jobs, they capture the surplus of everyone else’s labor and call the leftovers opportunity. It’s not entrepreneurship, it’s enclosure with a PR firm.
We all see what’s happening right?
China, Russia, North Korea… they can do whatever they want, including helping to kill our troops.
But Canada is “the enemy.”
Canada.
He’s a fucking traitor.
Our troops deserve a Secretary of Defense who doesn’t just thank them for their service, but gives them a plan, a strategy and an endgame so they can safely return home to their families.
Pete Hegseth is a failure.
@shaunmmaguire So, is this an argument that people should be allowed to work from home? Or that workers should br given limited opportunities to use the toilet?
We’ve normalized the idea that your entire adult life should be spent generating value for people who already have more than they can spend in a hundred lifetimes. You trade your finite hours for a paycheck that barely covers the cost of staying alive long enough to trade more hours. The arrangement is so complete that questioning it feels more radical than the arrangement itself.
North America has one sane and impressive leader: Mark Carney.
He writes, "Canadians know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario." I do want to say in response: We in the U.S. know this too. Our current president doesn't, so we have a problem. But we shall overcome.
Dear Canada,
A plurality of the dumbest dumbfucks who ever dumbed put a draft dodger, business cheat, sexual abuser, traitor, fucking idiot, felon and fraud back in the very office he tried to steal.
They do not represent those of us with brain cells.
Sincerely,
Sane America
I mean, sure, we started a war we can’t get out of, gas and groceries are skyrocketing, and your utility bills are out of control. But look on the bright side! We spent $16M on electric torture gloves for ICE, and we started calling Lake Ontario “Lake America”. #Trump#MAGA
