Yeah you can control small things and fix them. I can patch a wall or fix up some stairs if they get creaky.

However, healthcare, education, and housing are rapidly becoming out of reach for the majority of people. That isn't a small thing any one person can fix on their own. True of both USA and Canada. And even those who do have them, have ever growing anxiety that they will lose them. I live in a wealthy city full of wealthy people who endlessly agonize about how poor they are and how will they send their kids to college or how their house that they paid a million bucks for is a dump. etc.

I don't go out because post covid everything costs 100% more and is 100% worse.

I spend $60 on two beers and a mcdonalds quality hamburger + fries last week. F that. in 2019 that would have been 20 bucks. in a place that was crowded and it took me like 30m to get my food. and almost every place is like that now. double the price for half the service or quality of product.

if going out was fun and affordable I'd do it more. I went out regularly before covid. I just don't want to have to drop 30-40 bucks for a single beer and junk food meal anytime i want to socialize.

all my old spots that were affordable, chill and fun, are gone. i used to hang out in coffee shops after work because they were quiet and i don't drink.. now they all closed at 2pm. bars are noisy and crowded and want $15+ for a cocktail and $10 for a budweiser. that used to be $10 and $5.

The empire is just trying to bring order to a chaotic galaxy of stupid aliens who just need to be taught how to be better, like the white-skinned humans.

indigenous Hawaiians aren't the one filling the state's coffers.

that is what is twisted.

a company that make 20million year after year is considered a failure in the ethos of capitalism.

I run a small business that is non-profit. I am constantly fighting people who are screaming or shaming me we need to grow or what we are doing is not worthwhile... it's complete insanity how internalized the capitalism/stock market is for most people. growth at any cost. if we help 500 people one year, and 500 people the next, it's 'not doing enough'. we have to help 700 people the next year, and so on and so on. hire more people! do more event! etc etc. it's unsustainable.

zoning laws are the biggest single factor in limiting development, housing or otherwise.

Exactly. This is like the biggest problem with today's society. Everyone thinks they are unique and sigificant... you are not.

The dirty erotic fan fic stories you wrote when you were 14 aren't going to ruin your life if they are found. What will ruin your life is when you find out how little anyone gives a fuck about you.

it's not about science. it's about public perception. masks didn't stop covid. vaccines did.

people will not wear masks again. they would probably get another vaccine though.

ending covid = getting rid of mask mandates, in the publics viewpoint.

you realize that civil suits take years and a lot of money? not all of us have 50K in the bank to hire a lawyer for 2-4 years so we can get the payout.

The govt telling anyone to do anything is authoritarian.

The issue is if you agree with what the govt is telling you, or not. It's only authoritarian when you disagree.

Politically it will be suicide for the democrats.

People do not want to be told what to do. They do not want to be inconvenienced.

Personally I hated wearing a mask. it was a huge pain in my ass, and mostly unnecessary most of the time except on public transit or in like a very crowded place like a grocery store.

I don't wear a mask anymore, but people glare at people that do. I also got a lot of harassing comments when I was wearing a mask last year.

because wearing a mask is for pussies.

it's really as simple as that. it's seen as weak and pathetic and makes you an object of ridicule.

because wearing masks did shit. that's why.

vaccines did.

proper gun ownership turns you gay tho

losing your career and being sued into oblivion by the kids parents sounds like a real good choice!

this is why universities have endowments. and why they become convulted messes.

of course, they don't use them like they should, but that's another issue entirely.

sadly people are greedy and short sighted, no matter the institution. often the committees want to reward themselves above all else.

Wealthy people don't allow their kids to fail. They bail them out with money.

the dream is well and alive for those in the top 10%. They are the ones who are culturally dominate. All the writers in the media, etc. As well as the doctors, lawyers, business people, etc. They live in a exclusive bubble and they don't associate with the bottom 90%.

They see the rest of us as just lazy idiots who should have 'worked harder' like they did, by having parents that can afford to pay for your housing and education into adulthood.
