You don’t have to participate in voting either, but that doesn’t stop about a million power-hungry jackasses from clogging up my snail mail box come each November.

So technically a direct loss, but definitely not a direct loss after tax breaks, and accounting for warehouse space freeing up in many cases. The warehouse space is worth more than the product past a certain age in most businesses.
It varies. My Target is exactly the same as it ever was.
Because material conditions are consistently hovering juuust above revolt levels. If we want a massive sweeping change, shit will get worse first. People will demand change, but I believe a large portion of society will have to be starving and on the streets before we consider movement that actually does anything to change the status quo, due to the risk of death.
Kind of like when George Carlin said ‘if you want better politicians; make better people.’
‘Friends’ was one of the biggest tv series in nearly every country, it’s not just good ol’ American hubris, nor unimportant news to people throughout the world who enjoyed his work. Artists who are known around the world make headlines all the time, no less when they die, obviously. I certainly doubt anyone would read of Patrick Stewart dying, only to rush to the comments to say how irrelevant this British actor’s passing was.
Screw the 2020s! I’m gonna make my own 20s with blackjack and hookers.
May be an obvious thing to everybody else, but what do you mean by spook? Where I’m from we’re careful using that word.
I think we may be entering a new era politically. Thank goodness. Maybe we’ll see some momentum in antitrust again, it’s been 120 years since we last got the ball rolling, and what we got was well worth fighting for in my opinion. The world can always be a little bit better, and antitrust laws help us make it better.
Unless you’re talking about the Amish, you’re giving us too much credit. We could choose simpler lives, but the reality is we will continue to do business with the worst of the worst if it makes our lives even a modicum more easy, because that’s human nature. We don’t realize long term risks well, we’re programmed to dodge snake attacks; not greedy snake-like other humans.
There’s similarly awful things going on all over currently. Wildfires, bleached corals, oil and toxic waste spills, flooding, catastrophic storms, it all gets to be depressing. But the good news is that more people than ever are aware and ready to make changes. I just hope enough of us are ready to live small lives in tight-knit communities where we don’t rely so heavily on consumerist BS to live.
Nothing matters to them, not even human life.
Never did. We’re just living in the ‘find out’ era, luckily for the people responsible; they were right… Most of them died before they could see the problems they were creating.
Until the good decide to drop the moral high ground and get ugly, the greedy will continue to crush humanity under the epic weight of their cruelty and indifference.
