You forget the last time ATCs tried to stand up for themselves, Regan fired the entire industry..

Yeah but Reagan is dead this time!

Look, we don't just elect anyone, here. How many pussies have they grabbed? How many bankruptcies? These kinds of things are the bedrock of our election standards, established in 2015, and cannot, in good conscience, be unanswered.

That shit died, or suffered a major blow under Reagan. It's only been downhill since. I'm old enough to remember the yearly increases to the federal minimum wage before they stopped all that at like $7.25. I think my first job paid $6.40. Every time this dude is on TV he's grinning like some doofus or laughing too hard from the lukewarm farts leaking from trump's mouth.

My faith that things could be better was snuffed out during COVID. I watched the true empathy gap between myself and those who couldn't be bothered to do the bare minimum without whining like a 5-year-old throwing a tantrum. What optimism I had for a better life for my child vanished in 2020. I'm a shell of the person I used to be.

I don't know what the future holds, but if it gets much worse, I don't know how I'll survive.

I just hope one day we can replace austerity with taxes on the rich. Also, I had the same thought voting for Pritzker, the first time.

Oh, the choice is a shitty republican that sucks or a billionaire. Yippy!

I was so glad my defeatism and low expectations turned out to be wrong.

Our property taxes suck ass in IL. My house and property looks worse or doesn't change year after year, yet my taxes never seem to somehow increase YOU. Gonna keep saying it, but for being wealthy, I didn't have high hopes for Pritzker, but he's been great!

This person gets it!

Does that mean we civilians should just execute shoplifters in the streets without trial or due process?

That's not what I said, though, and I'm pretty sure that's some kind of logical fallacy being used. I'm talking about tRump, not all people. That's why I said what I said. Think of it as tit-for-tat or an eye-for-an-eye. Where if he doesn't think people should get due process, then neither should he.

Also, that's pretty extreme considering what I said.

Ok, so hear me out, if he doesn't care about the rule of law, why should we?

I'm in this comment!

What sucks is how many of them are our ailing parents, likely not to live another decade, and now we gotta look like bad guys for caring more about all of society than just ourselves. I don't know how I'll ever be able to forgive them for the world they have saddled us with.

Happy Mothers Day!

Doubt Tesla will fail in the next two minutes, so sure.

Because they're too dumb to realize how dumb they are.

Our leaders have a history of letting them live to stop the killing. They did the same thing after WWII. Thanks to nuclear bomb wet dreams, many of those nazi's ended up in high positions within the govt., eventually.

We won't make the same mistake this time.

Nah, that's what we call the tool of resistance AFTER the peaceful action gets escalated to violence. Maybe H.A.M. (is that an acronym?) radio operators could help setup a system to facilitate the use the communication and education for setup. Keep in mind that the FCC has control of radio bands and frequency in the US.

Not sure what a you would call the equipment of the communication system.

Unless the org gets abolished. Their goal is the complete removal of agencies that help the people stay safe. They'll remove healthcare last to keep their base placated as long as possible. Their goal appears aimed intentionally at hurting civilians to kill as many freeloaders as they can.

Fascism is just ultra capitalism in a trenchcoat wielding a flamethrower!

I lost all interest in the entire series when they were chasing the fleet and shooting lasers in an arch...to combat wind resistance in space, I guess. Oh man, I laughed (unintentionally) when I saw that. I almost walked out of the theater.

Thank you! I was saying this back in 2022 when we had "record inflation" but also "record profits." That became too obvious to consumers so we had shrinkflation instead. But still the record profits.

Corps knew the average voter is dumb and used those prices to tank Harris' campaign all because she had the gall to suggest a wealth tax, something they had snuffed out Biden's chances with. Even if the president has no control over prices, people believe they do. It was over for this country the moment we got the Citizen United ruling. Things were being setup to make it easier to get, but that ruling allowed unmitigated greed to influence politics. Been a growing pool of unfathomable wealth and the leverage of that wealth since.

Please stop smoking weed. The alcohol industry is suffering. Won't someone think of the alcoholics!!
