They did open the strait though, just to anyone who will pay a $2 million bribe in not USD.

People say I’m weird. Okay, I was raised by a very weird family in very weird circumstances, doing my best to be sane and normal in a weird situation.
I feel for you. At least some members of my family are either psychopaths, have narcissistic personality disorder, or both. I think the comorbidity there is pretty common.
The lifelong damage caused by being raised by a pack of wolves is real.
- Comment on Woke 1 week ago:
Having empathy in this society run by psychopaths is depressing and anxiety inducing indeed.
It bleeds into everything in this whole place. You know when you’re using something — a government system, a website, a support line, an application — and it feels like nobody thought about how shitty the experience would be for you? That’s what it feels like to live in a society that has no empathy. The people that design these systems do not give a shit about how you’ll feel being subjected to them, because they have no empathy.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
It makes more sense to me conceptually if I just imagine that most people in this country in the last decade had the tops of their skulls removed, had someone take a dump in there, and then seal it back up.
Seems like there are a lot of 💩🧠s floating around nowadays.

Love how we’re setting a low bar for 2028 two years ahead of time and without having a candidate first. 👍

The Republican party is not a monolith guys, it’s made up of several distinct groups such as child rapists and child rapist enablers.

- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 1 month ago:
Yes, in the same way must Germans didn’t seem to know that the SS camps were death camps, it’s very possible – if not probable – that these places are either death camps already, or going to become death camps very soon.
There’s a reason that the administration is so cagey about allowing Democratic politicians in to see the facilities. The other thing is that concentration camps never start as explicit death camps, and the first casualties are always from things like lack of food and disease. Nothing about this suggests any differently.

Adding $3 trillion in GDP would not remove the debt anyway. Assholes like this one don’t even understand how GDP is calculated.

- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 2 months ago:
Actually… celebrity worship of this type is why America is in the hole it is in.
Actually, it isn’t. Sure, Trump is from reality TV but without the four decades of neoliberal rot hollowing out the country people aren’t desperate enough to think this fool can fix everything alone.
Trump is a product of decades of austerity, lax antitrust enforcement, and reverse welfare.

- Comment on The college-to-office path is dead: CEO of the world’s biggest recruiter says Gen Z grads need to consider trade and hospitality jobs that don’t even require degrees 2 months ago:
I have no idea. I didn’t say I had a friend that was a plumber. I said I had a plumber. This is the states man, people don’t usually get all up in each others’ business like this. We’re a transactional, individualistic, and now fascistic people.
- Comment on The college-to-office path is dead: CEO of the world’s biggest recruiter says Gen Z grads need to consider trade and hospitality jobs that don’t even require degrees 2 months ago:
I don’t want an endless thread about this issue, because I don’t really care anyway. I have a plumber and the dude’s house is worth twice as much as mine.
- Comment on The college-to-office path is dead: CEO of the world’s biggest recruiter says Gen Z grads need to consider trade and hospitality jobs that don’t even require degrees 2 months ago:
There’s a large amount of trade work to be done for individual homeowners. That’s my point. Of course you can have slaves clean the factory boilers, and in a cruel and unjust enough society it’s practically guaranteed that you will do so. But the idea of replacing plumbers with ICE prisoners is ridiculous. It’s much more likely that the plumbers would become ICE prisoners.

I’m sorry but the idea that they’re going to use ICE captives to replace your plumber remains ridiculous. I see very few people using such a service if it were even offered, and certainly not enough people would use it to make getting into the trades not worth it.
- Comment on The college-to-office path is dead: CEO of the world’s biggest recruiter says Gen Z grads need to consider trade and hospitality jobs that don’t even require degrees 2 months ago:
With all due respect, which I have no idea what amount that is, this is completely absurd. Most trade work is just not being outsourced because it has to be done locally and that they have a vocational program in a jail somewhere doesn’t mean anything.

I dunno I don’t really foresee armies of ICE laborers coming to fix your HVAC…to arrive more back at the point.

Seems unlikely in my country given the current political climate.

A place near me has this too, and it’s usually very empty. The thing is that it is not that serving beers and mixed liquids isn’t automatable. It’s that nobody is going to sit on a bar stool and talk to a kegerator.
