Yeah, kinda funny how it’s OK when there’s a bunch of neoliberal gangsters like larry summers behind it, right?

Well, except scumbags like eric adams, NYC’s bought-owned-and-operated-by-real-estate-interests mayor.

“I paid for this traffic light, therefore I want to use all three bulbs at once”

“Today nothing happened, and everything is fine. (Fear it, fear it)”

CGnat is an abomination.

Yes, Eugene Debs, please.

• who was basically jailed on political pretexts but still…

Coral reefs really can’t catch a break, can they?

I mean… yeah layoff a whole bunch of people and start treating your employees like replaceable commodities… then go ahead and arrogantly deploy technology you don’t understand and :surprisepikachu: everything breaks.

But management get to do things without personal consequence, as they’ll just lay off more workers to cover their absolute incompetence and things will continue to get worse.

Perhaps we should be replacing C-suite dipshits with AI’s instead.

Yes, but his point is that the wealth transfer disproportionately has hurt arguably the younger half of Gen X, nearly all millennials and now all GenZ.

Billionaires should pay 100% tax over $999,999.99 of personal wealth.

Some people still get to be wealthy. Problem solved.

afaik, it’s more naturally generated opoids on the level of morphine.

Someone tell that to NY state’s gov.

This is the sugar thing all over again.

It shouldn’t need to be said as a matter of common decency, but:

Making people unnecessarily miserable has negative health outcomes

For the same reason a human in a bad automobile crash may be conscious and yet be immobile - the brain releases its own mix of painkillers along with other chemicals such as adrenalin when your body gets badly damaged.

That’s sometimes why you can get a big gash in your arm running or fighting or even moving furniture around, and might not immediately notice until you move into a lower state of excitement and those chemicals clear out of your blood stream.

Someone can be very badly injured, but since they’re in shock they might not be able to tell how badly they are hurt until the local environment changes.

The sun will start increasing in luminosity within a billion years, at which point it will be intense enough to cause rocks to begin soaking up CO2 to a point where photosynthesis will become difficult, and the planetary food chain will collapse.

The hour is much later than we think. Maybe another supercontinent cycle or so?

The hour’s growing late there. We needed to solve that problem before this technology became available. Just need useful life-extension technology and then it’ll just be a bunch of rich psychopaths running around the planet, and everyone else will be disposed of.

I recently had to hold my nose to see a band I’ve been following for a very long time.

The venue utterly sucked, treated like cattle, tighter security than getting on a plane flight. Pathetic.

Ticketmaster/livenation can go die in a fire.

…yet another reason to not use that pestilence.
