- Comment on How are these ICE agents allowed to fire on protestors like this 4 days ago:
The rule of law has collapsed.
It is like the scene in Mars Attack! when the alien is running around with the language translator repeating “WE COME IN PEACE” while disintegrating humans left and right with their space pistols.

- Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more. 1 week ago:
I think that the repeated use in marketing and advertising of people telling you to make other’s experience envy for something they are selling is really depressing. Envy is one of the worst human emotions. And to do things to create it is not for the good.
- Comment on What is an industrial product that, if you could purchase as an investment, you know you could find **local** customers ? 1 week ago:
I really appreciate all the answers.
I know that none of it makes perfect rational sense to try to create a new industrialization on a local scale at first. But I believe that as global systems rewire themselves with this new world that we can become more resilient by doing things that might not be 100% rational.
If I may quote poet Marge Piercy
The will to be totally rational
is the will to be made out of glass and steel:
and to use others as if they were glass and steel. - Comment on What is an industrial product that, if you could purchase as an investment, you know you could find **local** customers ? 1 week ago:

- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 2 weeks ago:
Actors and Actresses have to register their name with a guild and sometimes change it because it is too close to another previos actor’s name.
So to just skip that problem they make up a registered stage name. Not that it lends anymore authenticity but rather there is a structural professional reason that they do that.

- Comment on If taken in its totality consumed through post-modern deistic Western milieu the DIE HARD series is *Book of Job* retold. 1 month ago:
The people that sit around telling Job that his misfortunes are because his god hates him are recast as the villains that walk around and tell DIE HARD that he brought these problems on himself.
He loses his family repeatedly and yet at the end they are their. Every thing he could lose is eventually returned on their end of the movie.
