I frequently just stand outside and look at the sky and think, yep, we weren’t meant to work all day. We were meant to pick berries and mushrooms and take naps. I feel better about my station in life, knowing those oligarchs can never be satisfied, and all I have to do to feel right is take a walk outside.
Yes, I agree in principle. However, the economics (well, monied interests) of it right now are not favorable. Too many people with money to make in US-Canadian trade would pull support for the politicians that push for it. That may change over time.
I think the idea was floated in the media by Mr Asshat because someone wanting the oil was interested in capturing it, but the push back from other donors was clear, and we dont hear them talking about it anymore other than to defend their “right” to float such ideas.
There’s no way that happens. The oligarchs would lose money in the conflict. They gain money in a Venezuela conflict presumably. They have a lot of oil, like almost Saudi levels of oil, and there isnt enough trade with Venezuela for a war to upset the pocket books of the wealthy.
She means the political environment is so supportive of corporate wants and desires, that when they start pushing more aggressive (pun intended) changes to the self driving software, she expects it will kill someone. And that is progress in her mind.
Its the political world in a nutshell. The powerful want to do something to improve the quality of their own lives, at the expense of everyone around them.
Please remove law enforcement from the streets so our children are safe. My town growing up had no police within 30 min drive and we were fine. We dont need them.
Ive never trusted cops, even back when they came to my school as a kid. They had that stranger with candy vibe, like they’re being too nice. People are only too nice in the moment if they think their other actions (past, present, or future) would scare people off.
Priests and cops. Never trust em.
Its authentic. Snoop came by the gangster lifestyle honestly, he grew up that way.
Changing your views to be more progressive, when you are person with a public image, may be disingenuous. I’m not going to form an opinion on his true motives, but plenty of people will.
“Why dont you stupid Americans organize or something?”
They won’t let us. We’re trying.
It’s enough to change the result of an election.
All of the media we have used in the past to do such things, starting with Obama, are being controlled by propagandists. Twitter, Facebook, reddit. Theyre making it harder to not just be surrounded my propaganda.
I meant a better option than Clinton or Harris. The dnc are incompetent.
The point is the overwhelming majority of folks are MAGA true believers. A good chunk of that 70% voted for Trump, not because he convinced them hes a good president, but just as a vote against the status quo. They’ll support a better option for that if there is one presented.
He’s governing by stream-of-consciousness. Thought->do. Thought->say. No filter. No critical thinking.
70% if the US is not buying this bs and wants all these idiots to start doing their damn jobs.
30% of the US is giggling with glee over these partisan statements forced on government workers while they fantasize about executions.
That comes from puritanical notions promoted by religious folks. That’s not going away in the US. It’s too big a part of the culture in many places.
Given that reality, springing for shower stalls is not too expensive for Planet Fitness, so it shouldn’t be for public schools.
The one OP posted about.
Group showering is an institutional practice, providing for the health of the worker, with little consideration to his/her own desires or comfort. Jails/mines/factories have historically required showering to make sure they could keep working.
Schools are modeled after these institutions. The powerful people of this country see people as economic assets, and nothing else.
A government can’t possibly serve the whole population. /s
No, I’m was just replying to the guy that’s worried about world war.
The US has always had a minority of asshats that think they know best. We have to beat them back every so often. That’s why they don’t want to teach any history after the Civil War.
We’re trying. But the social media platforms that normies use are filling this stuff so they can get deregulation and tax breaks. The majority of Americans do not want Trump in power.
His judgement cometh, and that right soon.
Yeah, Ill sit in a deer stand all afternoon, or pick blueberries. Both are better than email.
