Do housing next. That’s an area where everyone is equally fucked on the political spectrum aside from the rich.

Or, you know, we could just…you know…do the thing that really takes care of the problem.

For the low price of 6 grand a month, surprisingly well calculated to drain off their IRA’s, force them to sell their property, and close out their other retirement accounts just in time for them to meet overall life expectancy.

Much of the consumerism that taught them to accumulate junk turned into a burden for us all. Everything they bought is “vintage” and many pretend it holds onto some type of value. That or they didn’t want to clean up their garage for 30 years. The boomers’ posthumous contribution to landfills is truly staggering.

Clearly added for emphasis, crucial instructions, we might mistake for other instructions in the picture.

I miss the Dilbert cartoons.

This new Boeing is not the same as the Boeing that America stood on. If this new Boeing is swept away and we lose American dominance in Aerospace, it’s something I can live with perfectly fine. There’s no patriotism in corporate success, let it all burn down. We’ve faced this before in the first gilded age, if we come out of the second gilded age, we’ll be a better country for it.

About the same time we get Steam with Wayland support:

“When the sun rises in the West and sets in the East. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves.”

I’d love to see some of your thoughts against the hopelessness. One of the things I hear about a lot is how companies are good at union-busting. What’re some of the suggestions you have in general on overcoming that?

Omg Manjaro is spot on!

An ex-CEO dipshit who got ran off because he fucked around too much, and he pretends that his old stodgy ethically bankrupt perspectives mean shit. That’s hilarious.

That really is understated and underfocused on. They’re trying to save face and be hire-able, but the reality is that “stay afloat” means millions spent on vintage cars while people like that family struggle towards their future. Stay afloat my ass. It’s the sneering face of evil greed that equates to “staying afloat”.

I was going to say, they pay the lowest percentage of real income, and that’s just for the ones who do it legally. Illegal or ethically questionably speaking, they pay far less even.

This right here. They go down the fixed hierarchy rabbit hole really hard really fast, no mobility or movement in the company either.

Biden did several classy things during some real fuckin difficult times. I can’t imagine how tough this decision was. I really hope we as a country can galvanize solid opposition and keep Trump/Vance’s asses out. Let’s be grateful for the good Biden has done, and if Kamala is the next up that gets the nomination, support the hell out of her.

Makes me want to play some Fo76 now, a unionized developer with worker protections. I’m going to show my support.

Typically it’s the NIMBY crowd who’s been most fiercely opposed to things like immigration and avoid conversations like “where should they live?”. They get so centered around traffic or noise concerns near their SFU houses. When I talk NIMBY, I’m talking about the old boomers that stack city council meetings to help overturn zoning decisions.

I think what you’re saying is in solidarity with what I am. White, straight, liberal NIMBY’s are wolves in sheep’s clothing, extoling DEI and social justice virtues while they reject notions of change as soon as it makes any impact whatsoever on streets near their own neighborhoods.

My apologies if that came across as challenging your point with the nimby stuff. It’s like a fuselight, it wasn’t for you but just directed out in the open. Retracting the comment. Housing is something that’s sensitive to me because we just lost a family member to suicide, and while not solely that person’s rationale, among many factors housing was a significant one.

Housing and healthcare on the trajectory it’s pointed at today, robs our youth of their hope, and signifies quite loudly that we as a society do not love or value the futures of our children, however people may feel internally.

My only message for NIMBY people is that of hate and revulsion.

No billionaires are self made, it’s a key thing to maintain awareness on. Each billionaire has started with an enormous starting advantage in some form. Either family connections or starting wealth. It’s not a straw man, it’s real, and the issue isn’t gender at all. It’s a distractive red herring from the fact billionaires shouldn’t exist in the first place. Going down the rabbit hole of how men have a predilection for sociopathy, enabling them to be complete fuckwads with no care for humanity and only fucking others over is the semantic. Look at Bezos’ ex-wife and how she’s giving most of the money away, because the ethics may exist for women in general making the notion “being a billionaire” precluded from the majority of females.
