Isn’t that just… every app?

That’s basically true, but I think capitalism would overthrow direct democracy.

People would vote for higher wages and then there’d be a coup.

Turns out, microplastics make you immortal.

They are planning to round people up by the millions and are doing it based on skin color and language. They’re putting them in concentration camps, with plans to build many many more camps to house all the detainees.

It’s an ethnic cleansing campaign.

It is, in fact, illegal for undocumented immigrants to own guns.

They feel empowered, partially, because they’re basically anonymous. Everyone is basically a faceless tank on the road.

Jesus doesn’t have to be a single historical person.

ICE is ethnically cleansing the country literally right now.

I think the inability to communicate makes road rage worse, actually. Simple matters that could be solved by a quick comment become rage inducing because there’s literally nothing you can do about them.

What if, instead of hiring a company, we organized together as workers and yelled at the boss collectively? 🤔

Legitimate improvement.

Downvoting doesn’t stop you from reading the opinion?

When I was younger it seemed politics were more rational and cruelty never seemed to be the point of doing nothing.

The cruelty was outside our borders. The rational, reasonable debate was for domestic issues. Foreigners got the bullet.

As the empire collapses the cruelty turns inwards i.e. fascism.

Is this ADHD?

All of that stuff is great.

Just don’t make me use a touch screen while I’m driving.

The secret to increasing profit is to cut costs, always, no matter what. Research? Workforce development? Safety? Just keep cutting costs, shareholders love it!

What do you mean we’re falling behind? We’ve cut so many costs, growth is infinite!

There’s also longer work days (it’s not like peasants spent very much time farming in the middle of the winter) and less work shared between the clan/gens/extended family. Our time is spent productively, it’s just that almost all of it is spent working for a wage and and doing chores to maintain a living space. A few minutes squeezed in to relax isn’t the problem.

That pales in comparison to the massive time investment of having a full time job and taking care of a living space by yourself (cooking, cleaning, shopping, repairs, etc). This is unique to our era, we used to not work as many hours and we used to live in more communal family spaces where work was evenly shared so that everyone had lighter loads.

The fact that I can squeeze in 20 minutes of posting a day isn’t the reason I can’t go on 3 hour walks like I used to.

Time isn’t free.

Yeah, but in this case the passengers are committed to not laying a hand on the driver as he drives them off the cliff.
