The difference this time, is that it doesn’t recover. Maybe bursts of recovery in specific places but on the whole, for the world, there is no recovery. Just subsiding into desolation.

I am literally sitting in the truck after having basically quit my job. I feel this post in my bones and I’m 30.

Sorry OP, wish I could give you some advice other than try to save some money and get a gun. Either to end the life of those who would do you harm, or for yourself when things become truly unbearable. Hard times are coming for all of us and they will last until we die, how bad things get is partially up to us. Do we just let them steamroll over us? I should hope not.

Oh, far from it. This is very much the norm in any construction sector. Everyone is dumb as absolute fuck.

I work with young trump supporters starting families. They will be hurt so much by this bullshit.

I hope they can hear me laughing at them until they fucking die. They can all eat shit. Everyone’s future is turbo fucked now because of their selfishness, and they will not be spared. I wish them every misery.

Great. I’ll join in on the incitement of violence against those raping us out of our very existence.

Kill them all.

I’m frothing at the mouth because it’s distorted, making an easy comparison by visuals impossible. The numbers don’t match the size of the pies

See paragraph 2.

Hmm… How shall we win these votes from the lower class? Should we listen to their complaints and plights? Should we come up with ideas that resonate with the populace and excites them so they actually want to come out to vote for us rather than it being a feeling of obligation?

No. Let’s not do any of that, let’s just take bribes from the rich and do whatever they say. Then we can blame the left for being uninspired by our outrageous greed!

You realize there is a difference between ‘popular’ and ‘implemented,’ right?

Popular opinion has virtually no impact on policy, unless you’re rich. This article describes the relationship.

“Not only do ordinary citizens not have uniquely substantial power over policy decisions, they have little or no independent influence on policy at all."

I’d argue a good 50% deserves exactly what this guy got. I don’t feel bad for pieces of garbage (re: any cop) and don’t care what you think about it. They can all eat shit.

Cops? No, never.

I find it amusing you think Israel’s goal is to rescue the hostages. They really don’t give a shit. It’s an excuse to cleanse the land for future settlement. Simple as that.

A magical place… Thank you for gifting us all that mental image.

Except this time we won’t just be paying for the cable, we’ll be paying to get the ads you want, too. You’ll be paying for the DVR function or whatever they want.

As with everything else it will continue to degrade and enrage it’s customers, and erode the entire country’s very will to live. I am truly curious just how detrimental it is for everyone in this country to be exposed to the THOUSANDS of small fully intentional annoyances daily that are built into every product and service. It has to be a leading cause of how angry and divided we are and is absolutely causing many early deaths. Everyone is so stressed out by every single thing they interact with.

Sad but true. As the saying goes, when peaceful revolution becomes impossible, it’s no bueno.

The Israelis? Boy I hope so.

There need to be massive protests/riots about this shit. I’m talking about showing up on senators’ lawns with 10,000 or more people with guns (to keep police at a distance) or some shit. These people need to fucking FEAR US, the fucking voters or they will continue to rape our society out of existence.

They are joking. It’s a real picture.

It’s also helpful to remember that water boils at 100C and your body temp is about 36-37C. Helps me when I see the weather or something.

I’m plenty enraged for all of us, believe me. I’ve been seeing red for a fucking decade.

That being said, more rage please.

The concept of changing the species through genetic manipulation with intention as opposed to wild flailings of evolution (which is why I would consider to be eugenics) is not inherently evil, nor does it require anything horrible. As the poster above said, it is just often used as an excuse to do horrible things.
