I met one of those men, several decades ago, maybe the least worst on the list, maybe not. They can all afford to share the wealth with the rest of the world, via 93% tax rates and a hefty wealth tax.

I’ve always loved this story. That two individuals can love each other so very much, even the irony is a testament of such pure, honest love.

Lawsuit?

That’s fine, it’s just hard to know without hearing native speakers’ pronunciations and you’ve only read it. Thanks for the reply!

Is it? The voice in my head pronounced zshi when I read it.

This was the most refreshingly honest answer I’ve read in a long time. And it made me laugh. Thanks for both.

The day the music died. Yeah I know it was about Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper. TFW it’s a universal fit.

Hangings, knives, carbon monoxide, jumping … The means are still there.

I wonder how many of your downvoters upvoted suicide nets without a thought toward improved working conditions and wages?

Lol. That first line was crazy.

The fairness doctrine? Eta: I’m aware it was for broadcast, but it used to be fairly standard, anyway, in print.

Before much longer, no one will be able to go out in daylight.

I’ve called companies that disconnect the call or “in order to connect you to the right agent, please tell us what you’re calling about,” them inevitably get it wing enough times to make you sit through a menu of about ten choices that are not correct and disconnect after three rounds of this nonsense.

"I’m sorry you’re frustrated, perhaps it’s time to start a new topic.’

“I’m not going to respond to that.”

"I only use my powers for good!”

This is what total total institutionalization looks like, folks.

That last link…“freest country in the world” just means “most indoctrinated country in the world, and also slavers.”

Yes, I thought the article was about that and ideas for correcting neoliberalism and how to root it out, effectively. I was sorely disappointed.

I was thinking about this before scrolling comments. It seems many on the right support/vote for policies that actively make their quality of life seemingly better in the short term, and are surprised and disappointed when the long-term consequences of their decisions begin happening to become noticeable (usually more for me, less for thee?). When they discover the policies affect them, personally, they become angry and belligerent, looking to place blame on external factors. The left (I don’t mean neoliberal) seem to go within, asking things like, “how did my voting choices affect this? What have I learned? How can I calibrate my choices for better results, going forward?” then try to make better decisions, even if it hurts them more, personally, in the short term, hoping for better across-the-board results long term?

I’ve just begun milling this, so I’ve no idea if this is correct or not. I’d love to see some research on it.

Capitalism is fascism. Edited accidental touch
