This all just seems incredibly sad to me. As a nation, it sounds like the fight has been completely beaten out of you all, so much so that you're afraid of even a little pain, vote based on empty promises and sound bites, and blame each other instead of yourselves.

You all traded your freedom for convenience. You're like flowers, opened wide, waiting for rain rather than vines that seek.

Best of luck to you all. We have to prepare ourselves, as members of the global economy, for this economic fallout. I'm prepared to fight and suffer, if I have to protect my own way of life.

I disagree. If people are comfortable, they won't want to change the status quo.

I think that all makes sense. A state government that wants to improve the working class will generally be more rich, and a state that doesn't will have more poor.

Nice. When another debate comes up in the office, I'll have some ammo

Yes! My colleagues were talking about the elites in California when they mentioned that.

Their words were something to the effect of Democrats always campaigning with celebrities and supported by rich people, while Republicans are supported by the poor and don't campaign with rich people (I did point out Musk to them and they replied that Musk is a hard worker etc.).

This is absolutely true.

Isn't it so that their followers feel justified to do it themselves? Like that case where a man was tortured for five weeks and then murdered in New York?

As a non American, I've been told by an American colleagues that the Republicans are traditionally the worker's party. Could someone please clarify?

Additionally, my opinion is that the entire system needs to be abolished to allow representation from more than two parties to represent how diverse America is.

Unsure about that in terms of business pages but I suppose you can if you try hard enough: side bar for standard info, posts for events and communication. The only thing it lacks is the followers portion that acts as soft advertisement, e.g. if your friend follows something, you can see it.

Isn't there a protection where there may not be any new Japanese births by 2050? That they'll essentially cease to be (pure Japanese)?

But we don't have an 80hr work week as the norm and we can piss off straight after work without feeling the need to have a beer with our colleagues or bosses.

Would love to, mate! Just maybe after this administration and once the FAA gets running again 😅

Maybe it looked better in person and the photos don't do it justice. That said, the front entrance is gorgeous. I think the second link outlines its details better. I'm a fan of art deco.

Shame you can't do the same with CEOs

Wealth inequality caused by all the things mentioned here and more. It allows the wealthy to control narrative that is fed to the masses, control the amount of free time people have to think and control how much pressure is placed on your lives.

The free thinking world is gone.

But the '3 meals away from a revolution' is always true and the rich will always get more greedy. When everyone no longer has the ability to free themselves, that's when a lot of heads will roll.

The 5 star reviews are whack

You and I are both alike! Atari 2600 was the bee's knees. The wood finish is such a classic now, too. Super classy. It didn't matter what I had; it was fun and I had no other games consoles to compare it to.

You can still think he's grossly incompetent without dismissing him as a threat. I don't care about his IQ since he's never done any tests to prove anything; his actions alone tell me that he's a dangerous moron.

He's not playing 4D chess here. His goals are to increase control, enrich himself and punish opposition. He's done this before with Xitter and Tesla. There is literally a pattern.

How about the government and the different departments move away from big corporations like Microsoft and ditch Windows, Office, Teams etc and go for open source programs?

We're deeply embedded, yes, but we'd be able to drop them just like that if we really tried. We're just too happy with the status quo to do anything about it.

Exactly. In every crisis, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Out of the last several financial crises, who's come out for the better? All I see is the widening of the gap between rich and poor.

Makes me wonder about the rhetoric against violence and how 'we need to be above that'. Where has that message come from?
