We need utilities run at cost by a nonprofit entity, whether that’s the state or some other managing group. Profits should absolutely not be extracted on necessities like energy.
- Comment on Money. Why does THAT work? 4 days ago:
It’s a devised method of trading value for other things of value. It used to be pretty rocks, then precious metals, then pieces of paper, and now it’s bits on computers. As Drew Carey once said, the everything is made up and the points don’t matter anyway. Except when those points are the difference between having a heated home or freezing your ass off in a cardboard box behind a Safeway.

I mean, in today’s climate, how could you not expect to have a device analyzing your poopie and selling that information to advertisers? Just about anything that is software enabled and has an app is primarily used for data harvesting, especially if you’re not paying a subscription.

I’ve gotta think this is satire. Any American that’s ever had a burger has to know they charge more for a cheeseburger than a regular hamburger, regardless of the cheese type.

- Comment on It's mind blowing how MAGAs like Charlie Kirk are doing more to spread leftist ideology than actual leftists, that's why they killed and not a socialist or a communist. 4 weeks ago:
I’ve always heard it as the social contrct, but yeah, it’s getting quite close to becoming void. Probably why this admin is ramping up domestic military operations and moving their leadership onto military bases.

I’ve maintained this for a while now: as fucked up and as much of a piece of shit as Trump is, he’s very good at making readily apparent just how screwed up the entire system in the US is across the board and showing even the dumbest among us just how badly we need to change things. Yes his rabid moron followers think the status quo is a good thing because reasons, but the average layman is finally thinking about our country in a new light.
