At every fast food or restaurant job I've worked, we had to verify the freezers were between 0° and -10° F.

I broke my toe on a case of ramen noodles.

Ah, looks like I get to be one of today's lucky 10,000...

Well, exactly. But that's not at all what he did. ¯(ツ)/¯

You agree with a strategy that's never worked? And has caused extreme economic recession on both of the previous attempts?

Huh.

Well, no, private companies can still have shareholders; but there's definitely a lot of differences. Like, having shares in a private company won't guarantee any right to vote, and I don't think you can do the whole sue the company for not putting profits over people.

Interesting. I appreciate the link.

Funny how the US numbers reported are only for a very specific circumstance - possibly taken from conviction rates for such crimes? But anyway, with no data on family/close friend kidnappings, that stat is basically useless isn't it.

Nobody thinks my country has a history of way too many kidnappings, but America has the market cornered on propaganda.

I wanna say that mindset has no discernable effect on the number of crimes committed, at least when they reviewed the statistics years later. That's what I heard anyway.

When I was still a kid, we went from bring a plate of cookies to your neighbor and introduce yourself to DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS!!

Careful what you wish for; go ahead for the IDF would mean open season on those food trucks. 😔

I do not believe it is actually a majority. Way too many, either way, though.

But two big issues I see is that most of us are literally living paycheck, where any significant time spent unemployed will result in losing your home.

Number two is how well armed the military is. Not to mention how many times our government has already proven they are more than willing to mobilize the forces against civilians.

So, yeah, we're pretty much fucked.

Or is he more interested in seeing China taking America's place as a global superpower, spouting a bunch of propagandic garbage?

Well, don't have to worry about them taking that spot. Trump is pretty much offering it up on a platter at this point!

That sounds like an overall positive outcome, at least compared to many corporations or there...?

Uh...no? We know where the stand is all I'm saying.

I reserve that energy for shit that actually matters. Hated is just a way to give power over yourself to your enemies.

It explicitly says average at the top of the graphic.

Your interpretation makes no sense anyway.

My theory on the general nature of the "root cause"? Fear of the very idea that they don't actually matter. The fact that the lie is soon fed to them from birth doesn't change that it's bullshit.

One of my favorite lines ever in any media has got to be master Yoda explaining the danger of fear. Tied is the "litany against fear" from Dune, but the point is to teach hate, first teach fear.

That...sounds like hate. I don't mean to be pedantic, but I think it's important. Not only to call a spade a spade, either. I've witnessed a close family member insist a hateful view or stance was not actually hate if you're "doing it for the right reasons".

To clarify, I don't think you were taking that stance. I think we probably agree on the relevant issues, in fact. So I regret my earlier choice of words; I was unnecessarily combative in how I phrased it.

In the end, to so thoroughly succumb to greed that you justify acting so hatefully to the rest of the population is deeply disturbing.

Their actions don't support this at all.

That link appears to be broken
