I was at a hardware store yesterday, locally owned. I didn't look at the hours before I walked in but they started turning off lights within a few minutes of me walking in, so I walked out without buying anything and went to a big box store. I want to support the little guys, and I respect the time of the workers, but at some point I need to get the stuff I need and my hours at work to align exactly with the hours of the little guys. 🤷
What they (Republicans, conservatives, libertarians, centrists) really want is emergency departments over run with patients who can't get care for chronic conditions and then they have an excuse to repeal EMTALA. At that point they'll be able to sink people deep into medical debt and when social security and Medicare/Medicaid fails to cover the costs then we can force medically disabled people into low wage jobs and take their assets to sell at pennies on the dollar to mega corps and further consolidate wealth in this country.
We should instead create a pipeline for that wealth to flow through the lower and middle class on it's way up to the top bringing the floor up and making sure basic infrastructure like medical care has the funding it needs.
It's really easy to demonstrate. Ask them for an alternative to Harris/Trump and they'll run around in circles to not give you a candidate and then tell you voting doesn't work.
Bans are fine IMO, I don't want tankie shit clogging up my feed. I should be able to block those views and the admin should be allowed to block them from participating if they so choose.
I'm just waiting for capacitors to replace batteries. I read a really promising article recently and it said they figured out how to make a capacitor hold more energy much longer which means when that comes to market leaving your phone charging overnight will be a thing of the past.
That's it folks, they got the big boss. Wrap it up and let's go back to spending hundreds of dollars a month across dozens of platforms to not own any of the media we consume.
It's a public cemetery, so I don't take issue with him being there and acting respectfully. The problem comes when he uses it as a publicity stunt and gives the thumbs up when he's placing the wreath.
Firefox+uBlock Origin+built in simplified reader mode will net you no ads on that site. You're really doing yourself a disservice by not using those tools.
I still like burnout. I think about it like a small electric motor being used on too big of a task for the job and burning out through no fault of it's own, but on poor planning from those who designed the system it's used in.
Me and my dudes mixing our DNA.
