Back in my day I could go to the corner store and get chips and a soda and a magazine and whatever I wanted. Now they have security cameras.

Minimum Wage isn’t even livable!
Uses DOUBLE the minimum wage and it STILL isn’t livable
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress' creator says the industry's in shambles over AI and layoff-happy CEOs: 'Everyone I know, their bosses are slowly getting psychosis' 1 week ago:
Great points, we had a strong Q2 and our projections show a very strong Q3 as well, but we don’t want to split our focus too much with all the market uncertainty. Remember, there is no I in team, but there is an I in Key Performance Indicators. So make sure you are moving the needle and let’s keep our bandwidth high so we can finish strong. I sent everyone an email and a DM and a voicemail and a paper letter with a printed QR code. Don’t forget to use that to fill out the feedback survey by EOW.

Absolutely, if I can just chime in here and address the elephant in the room, we really have to focus on the low hanging fruit and leverage our KPIs to really drive home any wins. From a 30,000ft view it looks like we have synergy and alignment here, but if we zoom in we can see that there are nothing but roadblocks and pain points with our holistic approach. I propose we circle back and try to realign our core competencies and remember what really made us a rock star team in the first place.
- Comment on Forty hours, one life... 1 week ago:
Except that everyone HATES working for capitalism, whether they realize it or not, and we all ABSOLUTELY need a job for reasons like survival.
I’d much rather spend my time working hard for something where I actually get to keep the value of my labors. As it is now I create millions of worth for the capitalists to extract (steal) from me and I get enough to not die. Neat… Who the hell wants this? Why do so many people keep defending capitalism when everyone is getting scammed and 99% of their profit stolen from them and funnelled up the pyramid scheme to a shareholder.
- Comment on Park benches don't "open" until 10am 1 week ago:
Capitalism requires there to be a threat of what happens if you “don’t work hard enough” or don’t play ball with those in power. Nevermind that most homeless people aren’t that way due to laziness or anything they did wrong, just unlucky situations or medical debt or being laid off at an inconvenient time or something.
It would be far cheaper to our country to have free housing, UBI, universal healthcare and social programs everywhere than what we are doing now, but what we are doing now makes about 1,000 people INSANELY wealthy at the expense of the other 342,000,000 people in the country, so that’s what we keep doing for some stupid reason.
Maybe one day everyone will wake up and stop enabling systems that create this shithole.

They came up with the craziest and most diabolical campaign strategy we’ve seen in decades. Doing things that people actually want. Bold move Cotton, let’s see if it pays off.

Bodies are fleeting. Fall in love with the person, not the flesh-mech-suit.

- Comment on Doesn't add up 5 weeks ago:
The USA is just 3 Corporations in a trench coat. And corporations are just pyramid schemes.
People will lose their minds if you suggest giving someone medical care for free, but they keep ignoring all the landlords and CEOs and private equity groups and all the middlemen extracting the vast majority of all the wealth out, while also contributing the absolute least.
The fact that we have a system where one person works every waking minute of their life and still can’t afford basic food and housing and another person sits around all day on their 3rd yacht sipping one of a kind wines and rakes in billions is insanity.

- Comment on Bill to raise minimum wage to $25 an hour will be introduced in Senate 2 months ago:
That part. Exactly. We pay for estimated value, they should.
1 trillion net worth (even if all made up) should pay the taxes on that full amount just like we do.
If I earn 100k dollars, half that goes to taxes. How come Peelon can earn 100billion and gets all the benefits thereof and doesn’t pay half in taxes?
In theory 50k from my taxes should be in the tax bank and 50 billion from his. Instead I payed 50k and he paid maybe 5k.

- Comment on Bill to raise minimum wage to $25 an hour will be introduced in Senate 2 months ago:
Would that be the $ cap of what you can contribute each year? I think it is like $5k per year now maybe? Something like that. I think it went up recently. 7k?
I’m curious as to how or why that would actually help though, because I think you can open multiple 401ks, right? So you could just open 10 of them.
But yes, any MATH that makes it so you can’t just exploit the hell out of the system by virtue of just having lots of money already.
The big issue is that there are tons of loopholes and exploitable things in all our systems (many are intentionally put in for the rich to use). Whatever laws or regulations or systems you don’t has to be fair and all that.
One glaring issue is that the billionaire class is so wealthy they aren’t even playing the same game as us anymore. They don’t pay taxes because they can stop “earning income” in the traditional sense and it’s all sorts of leveraged forecast market value stock and asset bullshit. I mean, “money” is made up too, but they are outside “money” and deal with “theoretical money” and thus escape all forms of taxes and fair share stuff.
I’ve always wondered if the answer is doing away with “income tax” entirely (it’s a racket anyway) and having a much higher “sales tax” on everything.
Let them have billions, but they pay the tax when they buy something like the rest of us do.
I dunno. I’m tired of overthinking it. Maybe the better option is to eat them.
- Comment on Bill to raise minimum wage to $25 an hour will be introduced in Senate 2 months ago:
That and I feel like it should also have some tie to each business. Like the top salary+benefits in your company can only be 10x the lowest or some ratio. 1,000,000,000 : 1 is WILD that we all just keep going along with that and it’s like, well yeah, the CEO works harder than you so he earns more.
He works a MILLION times harder than me? He works a BILLION times harder than me? Are you sure about that!? By what metrics?

- Comment on Do people really give a shit on what a US President wear? I just see from time to time that they bring up the Tan Suit Incident with Obama. What is or was the big deal? I slept since then. 2 months ago:
Exactly.
I’m so damn tired of seeing comments like “why do you keep complaining about Trump, but you didn’t complain so much about Biden?” As if that’s even a legitimate question.
Because that dumbass pedo is destroying our country, looting all the coffers, pissing our allies off, starting wars, increasing costs of living and just generally fucking everything up for ALL OF US!!! Biden was too old and didn’t do as much as I’d have liked, but goddammit don’t even pretend they are equally bad. They aren’t in the same ballpark, they aren’t even the same sport.
These MAGA morons sound like “why are you screaming because I stabbed you in the chest with a knife, but you didn’t complain when Joe gave you a paper cut?”
WTF!
