I have idiotic coworkers but I also work from home so my exposure in minimal.

If it’s gone it’s gone. Those people in rural America who live off handouts and vote R can live with the long term consequences. The only way you will see a change is if they are no longer insulated from the consequences of their actions. Fox News Propaganda is going to be spinning itself in circles to justify why their “gubment program” was ended under Trump.

Perhaps they will vote blue in the future and we will have enough of a majority that more liberal policies can be enacted.

True, but on the minus side, dumb people actively seeking out the infected milk would artificially increase the instances and thus the spread.

I’m sorry I only see benefits here.

Soooo the 58% of Floridians who voted for banning anti abortion laws also want Fl to be a Christian state?

You could vote for the candidate least likely to Genocide. I think Kamala was her name…

No seriously, I hope Palestine gets the policies that all the Genocide Joes here voted for. You earned it for them! 🫡

Did you happen to visit Kamala’s website during the election. She listed who she represented…. Black males, Latino Males, no mention of working class white peoples.

That is identity politics. If you wonder why white women voted for Trump, they did it for their sons who aren’t mentioned at all.

Both Kamala and Biden championed another assault weapons ban.

Identity politics, gun control, immigration, lagging economic recovery for labor, inflation and a distinct lack of ability to formulate a simple message. Sank Dems with the working class.

Policies are nice but most Americans don’t have a clue and don’t research anything.

Kamala spouted a bunch of policies and no message of hope. Trump had a bunch of headline grabbing antics and one liners. Guess which one wins with most Americans.

Meh, I did my part. 51% of America wants a criminal facist dictator supported by his MAGA cronies in all levels of government.

I’m just going to put my head down, make money and keep my family safe.

This, after ten years of this orange baboon dominating the headlines and flinging shit everywhere I’m ready for it to end.

Work from home is the ultimate culprit.

A. People can migrate and buy in cheaper parts of the country and maintain jobs that would have required them to stay in a certain geographical area in the past.

B. Work from home has gutted the commercial real estate market. Leading investors to move into the home market. You’re going to see a lot of money flow into single family homes to rent over the next ten years.

You’re now competing against established professionals who are later on in the careers and institutional investors.

I think context is key here. If you tell a Jewish joke at a Bar Mitzvah or comedy club it comes across entirely differently than if you tell it at a Skin Head or Proud Boys rally.

He told the this joke at a Trump rally where accusations of racism and facism abound. He was probably trying to be ironic but it just comes off far more serious than just a joke.

Fundamentally a rally should bring people together. The Trump team knew what they were getting when they hired this guy. Whatever this comedians intentions were, the Trump team is ultimately responsible for their message and to refuse to have Trump repudiate him publicly and immediately peaks volumes.

Amazon started as a e-commerce site. But their Web Services division now makes up the vast majority of their revenue. They also dabble in streaming and content generation.

I’d say they are primarily a web hosting company that dabbles in e-commerce now.

They are a tech company by any definition.

Yeah same here, the last post I made was to argue for more disabled access to European historical sites n the r/europe subreddit.

After everything I’ve posted, THAT is what got me banned.

After loosing my appeal, I changed all my prior posts to AI generated gibberish.

Fuck Reddit, salt your posts so they can’t use your content to make money on search or train AI.

Orrrr how about everyone has the freedom to live in the dwelling of their choice that they can afford .

Yeah I had the palm OS Treo for years before switching to a windows OS treo. Those things were tanks. You could beat the crap out of them and they would shrug or off with no case.

If I ever do slightly breath on my iPhone 13 the back glass cracks😠.

Much of Russian oil production is going offline and is never coming back anyways. Since the fall of the USSR they haven’t been training engineers at a rate to maintain their own infrastructure. Many of the engineers they do have are nearing retirement age.

As a result don’t have the technical expertise to maintain their own infrastructure oil fields in Siberia. Those fields require oil to flow constantly otherwise the oil will freeze and expand and burst the pipes. The last time this happened was during the fall of the USSR and those well heads took 20 years to come back online and required Western expertise to repair.

They’ve depended on Western companies to build out and maintain those tracts ever since. When those go well heads go offline either through lack of maintenance or through Ukraine attacking storage centers where this oil is kept before its shipped, they won’t come back on again. They will still have tracts of oil fields in the Western part of the country that they can pump, but they will permanently loose a lot of capacity. Your likely to see a Venezuela style gradual drop off in production over the next ten years if they don’t change course and bring back Western expertise.

It doesn’t really matter to the US, we produce a ton of oil domestically and have been switching over our refineries to process it. Europe, China and India will be the ones to really feel the squeeze when Russian oil goes offline.

While I do try to buy direct on some items that I am confident I’ll keep. The return policy and ease of use are why I’m still with Amazon. I just don’t want to have to deal with thirty different companies and their return policies.

But if I’m buying something like replacement parts or something that I’m not sure about if there isn’t significant savings, then I’m going with Amazon for piece of mind that I can return the item at no cost to me.

lol no if anything they’ve become far left shitholes.

Killing corporations won’t get everyone those amenities.

I’m disappointed, you were doing so well.

Ohh well I’m going to go back to sitting in my house, enjoying my AC, while playing on my phone and eating a tasty breakfast burrito all of which were made by evil corporations.

If that pisses you off maybe you could move to somewhere that fits with your philosophy. Venezuela and Cuba would probably be a good fit for you. 👍
