  2016 is well after 9/11/2001… People where already very I jaded on the Internet.

  I suspect you where just too young to be jaded yourself yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Terrible take, she’s not a politician and not interested.

  Now Gretchen Whitmer might have been a better candidate had we been able to have a primary.

  Wouldn’t that be a cyborg not an android?

  Or is the head just decorative? All salted and shriveled like a slim Jim?

  I mean, this sorta bolsters the idea that livable space is rare and valuable.

  Of all of the universe Earth is the only place capable of supporting human life. Furthermore no human has ever managed to leave the earth/moon system, because of the extreme effort and risk required to do so.

  So… How does this make rent seem silly?

  I would say isreal has a right to defend itself, but not if they keep stealing land and oppressing the people who attack them.

  If you want to defend yourself, first, you have to stop attacking the people who you claim to be defending against.

  Hamnas is human garbage, but one can not separate the creation of Israel from the ghettoizing of the Palestinian people.

  Nobody deserves terrorist attacks, but this didn’t come out of the blue.

  Isreal needs to own up to it’s complicity in the violence before they try to claim to be the sole victims of it.

  I loved it.

  As someone with ADHD I felt a strong kinship to Evelyn. Though I think personality wise I’m more a Wayman and my wife Evelyn.

  The line about her being the best to defeat jobu chubaka because she was the worst version of herself hit home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a steep decline in pay compared to the value workers add to the economy, closely tracking the fall in union membership.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  IDK let’s see.

  Other countries finally starting to pull out of the rubble of ww2.

  The massive influx of the baby boomers into the workforce devaluing labor. Couple this with boomer women demanding jobs instead of being house wives, further adding to supply of available labor.

  Come 1980 we add in trickle down economics which encourages the hoarding of wealth.

  Then there’s computerization, automation and globalization that have been rapidly bringing up per capital productivity. Weirdly this devalues labor, because you need fewer people.

  That’s just off the top of my head.

  Unions are important and can be a force for good, but the data doesn’t fully support the claim.

  Simple solutions to complex problems are usually being sold as a way to manipulate people… Don’t buy in to simple solutions.
