  • It seems so malicious.

    I guess he was being honest about all that revenge talk, eh? I mean, it is actively and onerously malicious, but just like last time, everyone’s just gonna let Trump steamroll them, because the federal government has long had hesitance to hold figures like presidents, senators, and supreme court justices to account, and this is just an extension of that.

    I mean, we didn’t prosecute Bush and Cheney for war crimes. Hillary Clinton was proud of her friendship with Henry Kissinger. Kamala Harris was proud of her endorsement by Dick Cheney.

    “It’s a big club and we ain’t in it,” but Trump and co. don’t feel the need to put up the facade anymore.









  • Look, they don’t give a damn about actually following their own philosophies so let’s drop the tired gotchas. They don’t give a flying fuck about the gotchas.

    We are really letting the right wing dictate the nature of reality with bullshit takes like this.

    That you need one single leader to solve it all is a conservative position. That you need many people working together is a leftist position.

    When you try to hit them with this gotcha you’re actually affirming their beliefs in singular strongmen and are normalizing it for the left.

    Cooperation shouldn’t be vilified. Cooperation isn’t a joke.



  • Also deporting millions of farm workers isn’t going to help prices stabilize when farmers have vegetables rotting on the vine because they can’t afford US citizens and how much they expect to be paid to be a farm-hand and on top of that US citizens tend to be fat and fucking lazy in comparison to the immigrant laborers.

    Further, in Washington state, many immigrants have made a livelihood by working their way up and buying the orchard out from the owner. How many of those immigrants will be denaturalized and now the orchard has no ownership and is up for grabs at pennies on the dollar, further consolidating food ownership.

    If the US dollar is still somehow the world’s reserve currency after all this fucking idiocy, I’ll genuinely be shocked.


  • I worked in a “European” US bakery for a hot minute around 2012, and one of the things I remember most was them trying to find new providers with cheaper products. This lead to a difference in taste because obviously in this case the cheaper products are actually a sub-par product.

    A big part of it has been the consolidation of the businesses who sell food to restaurants. They all pull from the same places, and so the variety has gone down and the filler gone up.

    It’s not just fast food, it’s all restaurants that are suffering this plague.

    I never did anything better than learning to cook at home. My home-made pizza tops any delivery, and I always get to eat it hot out of the oven.
