Readable code is especially important when companies lay people off every six months so you constantly lose expertise

I am not sure I agree that the old rule was replaced. Before, the oligarchs ruled from the shadows by controlling political campaign finances and lobbyists. But now, the oligarchs are so powerful they are ruling directly. The country is still heading in the same direction (relentless growth of power disparity between the rich and power) just at a quicker pace.

FDR was the last US president that fought for the working class. Every President since Reagan has overseen policies that have weakened the working class and transfered power to the rich. Republicans were far more aggressive about it, but liberals still did it at a slower rate.

Power disparity derived from wealth disparity inevitably leads to unchecked corruption.

Late Stage Capitalism is a malignant cancer on both society and the planet

We're all slaves to the billionaires under capitalism. It is a slightly more ethical type of slavery, but ultimately we still do the bidding of the wealthy and we sacrifice the best years of our lives to build their financial empires

Reminder that this is still capitalism. Capitalism gave Elon Musk the wealth and power to destroy American democracy so the world's most successful capitalist destroying democracy is capitalism in action.

Sure, just don't take out college loans for a useless degree. I have a BSc in Computer Science and it is basically completely useless right now. I can't even land a shitty help desk job that pays fast food wages right now

I applied to 600 jobs last year, had 30 interviews, and only had 1 job offer that was revoked after Emperor Elon took over. Things have been completely hellish for me.

More like a global depression that governments won't admit was a depression because the economy is completely shareholder centric with very little consideration for workers. New grads did the occupy Wallstreet protests because they spent multiple years unable to find a job. It was a nightmare that destroyed the lives of countless working class people

And Samsung is one of the 3 biggest corpos that control South Korea. We are fucking over the owners of our closest allies.

Our Supreme Court ruled that Trump is above the law, so no, our legal system will never hold him accountable

In what way are possums pests anywhere?

🥵 That's hot. Not nearly enough, but still great news

Masks are sort of like condoms. When someone tells you that you don't need one or that you shouldn't wear one then you absolutely do need one.

Jesus, that is even worse than a "let them eat cake" moment. This would be like Marie Antoinette eating cake in front of the starving peasants and then saying "be grateful for the opportunity to watch me eat cake!"

What happened to us? When did our spirits become so broken that the rich figuratively spit in our face and we thank them for it?

When did the french become such insatiable bootlickers? As long as billion dollar corporations are still making billions then they should be told to kindly fuck off.

He knew lead was a very dangerous neurotoxin and he just didn't care. Capitalists destroying the planet for profit is such a boring evil.

Is that why people randomly flash their lights at me? I just thought they were assholes.

Agreed, but if that were even possible then we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with and Trump would be in jail for his failed Jan 6th putsch.

Aye, we need a new system.

I hate Realpolitik, but she did that as part of a backroom deal with Pelosi.

AOC isn't perfect, but she truly does fight for us because she fights to change the system itself. Of the 435 elected House reps, she is easily the least corrupted of the entire lot. Her and Bernie are the best we have.
