The powers that be are in on it

The stupid ones are angry too… They’re just so stupid they are angry at the wrong things/people

Should we all short it at the same time?

You’re probably right, must be time to be done with mere “protests”… How do threats of violence affect revolutions?

Hopefully soon we’re done asking the enemies of the people to play nice

Does anyone else feel like this entire post and most of the comments are coming straight from a Monsanto bot/shill factory?

First, it’s the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Uyghurs, same as Israel and the Palestinians.

Second, no excuses here. You brought up the Israeli genocide in a thread that had nothing to do with the genocide and did it in a way so as to seemingly say that China is somehow less corrupt and guilty than the US… It’s not. Neither genocide is excusable or justifiable.

So did/is China… All countries are controlled by the oligarchy. The oligarchy does evil shit in every country.

I agree… What is it like 10% own 90% of the stock market, 1% own 50% or something like that? Major shareholders are the real evil oligarchy… CEOs are just shills they hire to take the bullet, same as politicians but paid better… I’d love to see some playing cards for the real oligarchy… But it’s pretty hard to really track them because they hide behind corporations and shit

Well, that explains the depression

You’re saying “won’t” when I think you mean “can’t”… As in, the number of people who have that much disposable income has dropped to a point where there just aren’t enough people with the ability to pay… And instead of fighting to raise the minimum wage (and all wages in general), or lowering their prices to a point most people can afford, they’ve chosen to make shittier stuff

I got messages from this one too… Kept trying to get me to switch to zangi to talk to it

This is the correct answer… As long as there’s no patchouli in it… That shit smells awful

Has anyone figured out where to get this sweater? There’s like a million versions that are ugly af, but I can’t find this one! Thanks

Mental health clinician… Worked Christmas Eve and Christmas (a lot of extra money), and got no calls so that’s nice. I took new years Eve and day off. In general we see a lot of kids leading up to the holidays. Sometimes a lot after too; can be hit or miss I guess. Our busiest times are at the changing of the seasons, spring and fall, when seemingly everyone becomes manic/psychotic.

I think it’s a matter of the difference between the quality of life one COULD have vs what they do have. A couple hundred years ago, even royalty died from diseases that are curable today. Society need 90% of people to be farm labor just to be able to provide for 9% military and 1% aristocracy. Today, we know we COULD have access to things that would substantially improve our quality of life, and could have those things without needing much human labor, but these things are being kept from us.

Maybe numbers to help me explain:

Hundreds of years ago you might have lived at a 1, but the best anyone could hope for was like a 3. Today, you might live at a 3, but everyone could be living at a 9. So it’s the difference between how we DO live, and how we COULD live that people complain about.

So, totally unrelated, but like hypothetically, how illegal would it be to start printing guns and giving them to people with terminal illnesses who were denied coverage? No reason in particular

Have you applied for unemployment yet? They’ll usually back pay to when you were laid off too if you get through all the red tape… Might be a state by state thing idk

Have you ever thought about talking to a therapist about the magic aura thing? There might be something you don’t realize that they could help you figure out.

Could you get a job of any kind and reduce your living standard for a little while to match what you make? This is a shitty answer, and really should only ever apply to the 1%… But sadly we do live in a capitalist hellscape… Good luck

Oh to be young and feel every new personal discovery so viscerally!

Buy secluded land and build a prep retreat/bunker just in case. Then take some time, hire a team, and map out a path to first taking over the Democratic party, maybe rebrand, then a path to taking over the government and updating the Constitution.

I’ve been thinking if I could ever afford it, maybe work with section 8 to actually buy the property for the “renter”. Sort of a lease to own, except section 8 pays. Once I’ve gotten my money back plus a small profit the home belongs to the tenant, and I build more housing, rinse and repeat. Would probably need to hire someone to help people manage that though. Some people don’t know how to maintain a home because they’ve always rented or because mental illness or whatever.
