Oh. Ok. That makes sense, then. I stand corrected.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted. The message is spot on. Neoliberalism leads to fascism. This isn’t some crack-pot conspiracy theory…it’s a direct chain of cause and effect created by neoliberal economic policies.
When you deregulate the economy, and allow the ultra wealthy to control more and more of the market, they will eventually consolidate their holdings in the form of monopolies. This concentrates enormous amounts of capital…and all the power that comes with it…into a very small number of hands. The entire system is designed to create oligarchs.
Is it really that surprising that the very same people who ruthlessly exploit labor for their own individual benefit, would eventually attempt to seize power more directly? And why would they have any issue at all manipulating the working class into supporting them, and / or violently oppressing those that refuse?

At this rate, Trump will have completely eliminated the US national debt altogether, in just two years. He’s obviously the greatest president in history, and people shouldn’t make fun of him anymore. Right, guys?

If you want to end Capitalism, you would need to get rid of the stock market and ban financial shareholding entirely. Make investing illegal, and you would remove the primary mechanism for worker exploitation.

Ummm…except that this IS capitalism. It’s just completely unregulated capitalism…which is capitalism in its truest form. If “the free market” was given complete autonomy to regulate itself…monopolies are always the inevitable outcome.

- Comment on To Get a Man’s Attention, Meow Harder | In a small study, pet cats greeted male owners with more vocalizations than they did female caregivers. 4 weeks ago:
I talk to our cat way more than my wife does…and our cat talks way more to me, in return. I’m also the one that gives her more attention in general, including feeding and petting. She sleeps with me more. Follows me into the bathroom more. My wife says she’s “my cat”, not “hers”.
But, it is true that when she seeks attention from my wife, she doesn’t ask for it the same way…she just sits there and stares at her. With me, it’s all purring and meowing and headbutts. With my wife…just eye contact.
So, this is an interesting study, although I’m not sure about the conclusion.

That’s weird. I have always associated this style with typical UK “hooligans”. I was not aware that anyone would think it was “unusual”, since so many people actually do dress like that.

It’s the perfect symbol for “wishful thinking”.

And where is she now, after running such a successful campaign to get Trump elected? I thought the whole point in helping him win, was so that she could “negotiate” with him on behalf of the Palestinians.

I find it really weird that companies would want to pay the enormous cost of maintaining huge buildings full of people, that don’t actually need to be there, in person. That just seems like a huge waste of money.
