"about a meg" because it's almost unthinkable anyone cares about 3 tenths of a meg much less 2 hundredths.

Cowards?

Pelosi was pretty brave defending insider trading after someone used her husband to stress test their hammer.

They aren't cowards. They're morons or traitors.

They aren't -afraid- to do the right thing.

They're afraid of losing money and power. Or worse, they actually think they're doing a good thing.

It's a dopamine versus serotonin issue. People think they want to be happy, but that longing is more for purpose. Eating ice cream can make you happy, but learning to cook your own meals makes you a more component being able to provide for yourself and those around you.

Most modern luxuries are basically Skinner boxes at this point monetized in some way to keep us staring at it or consuming it.

We doom scroll at the expense of relationship building.

We door dash instead of have community gardens.

Instant gratification isn't always and intrinsically bad, but the more the default it becomes, the less patient and competent people become.

Then you pile on decades of American exceptionalism and actively encouraging selfishness at the expense of a functioning society and the present state of things is hardly surprising.

That bit makes more sense when you factor in Scotus making corporations people.

That's fine. The Democrat plan is to normalize fascism.

"Both sides are the same" is ultimately true because both empower capitalism's subjugation of democracy. Every time the GOP tugs right and the DNC meets them half way. The greatest accomplishment of the Democrats in the last 20 years is the ACA- designed by the heritage foundation but stripped of the greatest cost savings measures.

Step one: fund raise on trans rights.

Step two: not support trans rights or any meaningful reform for the people.

Step three: keep losing support while leaning ever right

Step four: fail to do fuck all about RvW for 4 decades

Step five: blame trans people for losing by bringing the party "too far left" while continuing to cut corporate taxes and increase police funding as a percentage of municipal budgets

And my boss still says I'm one of the best on the team... 🤷🏼‍♂️

"Rushing change" is a glorious example of "liberal" media sane washing a fascist coup burning the guardrails to the ground.

Most people fail to realize that reason and rationality are best case scenarios for hormonal meat beasts and very far from the default.

Good luck overcoming 300 years propaganda.

Your average American reads at an 8th grade level and has spent their entire lives being told what to think but not how.

The majority are so ignorant they think even the concept of currency is capitalism.

And this is how social media hijacks brains.

This is why felon mush bought shitter.

Absolutely. Great video on the matter: https://youtu.be/xDgzgDSInt0

The entire stock market is basically a ponzi scheme.

Push pensions, 401k, 529, HSA money into one spot and then rug the whole market every few years.

I work 4x10 wfh and I'm more productive than the people that go into the office despite spending no less than half the day playing videogames.

I always keep in mind the first doctor to advocate washing hands after handling corpses was laughed out of medicine and died alone in an asylum ironically enough from sepsis.

To that point, the vast majority of research on nutrition is done on the presumption carbohydrates should be the foundation of our diet. Even "low" carb diet studies with have 30% of the calories coming from simple carbs. Oddly enough, the human body works much differently and much better when you don't give it -any- sugar: https://youtu.be/cST99piL71E

I can expand, but briefly, sugar acts like a sandblaster through your heart and shreds the endothelium (the finger-things that move things in and out of the bloodstream). LDL is a repair van that drives around with cholesterol and saturated fat to repair the plaques. (HDL brings empty LDL back to the liver) The entire logic of blaming cholesterol for heart disease is like blaming bandaids for stab wounds. Doctors say eat less fat and more "healthy whole grains" (carbs) and the liver makes more cholesterol. Doctor sees cholesterol is still high because the body needs it and prescribes statins which impair production. This leads to nerve pain because it's what literally every nerve in the body is insulated with.

The problems with cholesterol stem from it sitting in the bloodstream and glycating due to prolonged sugar exposure. Sugar staying in the bloodstream is basically ketoacidosis, so clearing sugar is a priority that results in LDL gumming up and going bad, essentially.

I can expand on this, but basically the human body needs predominantly fat with some protein and actually zero carbs.

I hope this is a bot account or something because this is sincerely one of the most pathetic things I've ever read. I've seen barnacles with more purpose in life than this.

But you get to pick what color your collar is!

How many people hated the ACA for undermining their freedom to use solely who their employer allowed them to?

How many big, strong men get their feelings hurt when ANYONE tells them not to do things (that are dangerous to themselves and/or illegal) but at the same time, is absolutely devastated when they can't dictate how others act?

"Your right to swing your fist ends where my face begins" used to be a thing. Now, stopping a conservative from genocide is violating their freedoms.

It's a circus of absurdity fueled by decades of rewarding blind selfishness and cuts to education.

If the system had any legitimacy, Trump wouldn't have been given office the first time due to violating both emoluments clauses much less allowed on the ballot the second time while being an impeached felon.

Even if you think the results of this election are legitimate (both Trump and Elon have as much as said they are not) the GOP has made no secret of P2025 or their goals of cracking down on blue states in future elections.

The slow road to fascism still leads to fascism. Democrats and Republicans are the gas pedal of imperialism. One pushes softly. One pushes hard. Before you argue consider the insanity of Greenland is basically exactly how we took Hawaii. Democrats are largely just good cop convincing you to fuck yourself over for the system. http://politicalcompass.org/uselection2016

Firstly, there are many reasons third parties aren't possible but the largest is basically the Constitution mandating simple majority voting which naturally falls into a duopoly. A third party either cripples or replaces the one it's closest to. CGPGrey can explain it further: https://www.cgpgrey.com/politics-in-the-animal-kingdom

Then you have to understand Democracy is a political system and capitalism is an economic one. In simplest terms, capitalism is a small group of capitalists that own the factories and get all the profit set opposite a large group of workers that sell their lives an hour at a time. The US has a legal fiduciary duty to shareholders which basically means profit must always be maximized. This is the constant pressure on wages to stay down and prices to go up. That doesn't sound inherently terrible until you read into SEC EDGAR filings and find out that the overwhelming majority of every privately traded company is basically owned by BlackRock and cellar boxing has been used to rob American pensions and cripple American businesses including cancer treatments. https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/owpfc3/will_the_real_gme_bbemg_please_stand_up_part_1/

A democracy relies upon educated, competent citizens. Educated, competent citizens think critically, get engaged in politics, want clean water, safe working conditions, and well paying jobs. All of those hurt profits. What more people need to understand is capitalism will always have an intrinsic need to undermine democracy.

What's more, democracy undermines democracy when it's a representative republic wherein only the wealthy can run for office on platforms approved by the wealthy. The DNC and RNC are both privately owned corporations that say who can run on that ballot. All the talk of term limits is further myopic, ignorant self sabotage as there is only a shortage of competent, principled people willing to spend their life in public service. There is no shortage of amoral self serving opportunists for corporations to push through election after election. Eventually you just lose the institutional memory of all the competent individuals.

We're supposedly a nation of the people, by the people, for the people, but once Corporations became people, they became the only people that mattered. 75% of theft is corporate wage theft but you can't arrest corporations because they don't have hands.

This is without factoring in the decades conservatives have spent filling government with end of days dominionists and out right fascists.

This "blue no matter who" bullshit is a different flavor of "lesser evil" that got us here because you can't fix a system when it's working exactly as intended. The founding fathers never wanted Joe Everyman voting because they knew he was a fucking moron. Voting was limited to land owning gentry because they were wealthy enough to not have to work and were able to learn.

All of our failing points are intentional. They don't want smarter people. They don't want more people voting. They want servile minions.
