That’s what happens when you let people accumulate too much capital.

Capital = power

Should be a 100% wealth tax rate beyond a few hundred million. No individual should have billions of dollars in unelected, unaccountable power. And no one earns those kind of sums either.

Not like the truth matters though. Oligarchs like Musk own this fucking place and both parties have spent half a century dismantling any possible means of reigning in their power over our government, our media, and us.

Enjoy your break, It’ll be weirder when you come back.

It could flop out of a fork more easily.

If you really love triangles, it becomes a new sexual orientation.

If I could wave my hand and undo the victory of any President in my lifetime, it would not be Trump, it would be Reagan. Trump is a big, dumb, annoying animal, but never had any interest in effective legislating. Reagan, or at least the Reagan administration, took our country apart piece by piece to sell off, and converted/convinced their former opposition party to stop taking the paltry union bribes, join them in taking the massive corporate bribes, and made the best we can elect today to be feckless, hail corporate neoliberals. Since Reagan, we only get a vote on how to manage the social issue symptoms of our crony market capitalist economy, never the form or priorities of the economy itself as members of a free society would be able to.

Trump is just another symptom of the Reagan giveaway to the rich and brainwashing of the gullible poor. He is a baffoon that stole the entrenched Reagan grift out from under the Republican establishment that only used racism to lead their idiot base around by the nose by turning up the volume and throwing away the dog whistles.

IMHO, Reagan killed any hope for the US in its current form under its current constitution by giving capital holders all the power, Trump is just another bacterial colony outgrowth from its well looted corpse, just like Citizens United.

When AI becomes sapient, r0zeclawz is first.

I mean, she is a real billionaire.

I hear you, and that’s a valid point, but I see that more as a function of our insatiable need for the primary driver of our destruction: growth/metastasis.

Growth is precisely what is destroying us. We need to find homeostasis with this world. We need to slow down, stop expanding supply chains, and work on making what powers these 100% clean first and foremost. Because right now, most electrics are functionally dirty too, their pollution just happens higher up the chain.

We won’t do that of course, because the reality is most people in the developed world need to accept that wasteful things like fast food, ridiculous amounts of meat, and plastic that serves no necessary purpose, everything from pop figures to disposable water bottles available to people with reusable vessels out of convenience, need to be made illegal yesterday if we want our species to have a decent future.

But our creature comforts are more important to us, and we will punish any politicians that try to call for genuine sacrifice. 🔥🤷🔥

I love my wife, she can’t drive for shit though, nor does she respect vehicle maintenence, much less asthetic care.

Nope.

Also, she’s literally told me she’d be afraid to drive my car precisely because I keep it so nice and she doesn’t want to be responsible for fucking it up.

It’s a Tesla problem in that it is a bumrushing tech that hasn’t matured for what it’s being used for because profit motive.

And no, if the tech isn’t mature to be both useful AND safe in the event of failure operating in the world, it belongs in the lab, not up for sale.

We shouldn’t be mass producing any vehicles that become bombs/environmental disasters that standard fire and rescue can’t appropriately address with reasonable tools upon crashing, because they inevitably will.

Its a market capitalism problem. Fire, ready, aim because rush the pos to sale. Musk is certainly a standard bearer as a prominent “get government and society’s wellbeing out of the way of my quarterly profit expectations” asshole sociopath capitalist.

Awesome!

Now lets collude to sell it for $12 minimum an ounce, and use our wealth/media bully pulpit/bribed legislators to sue/buy out/threaten/slander any interlopers who attempt to make lemonade honestly at low margins for a reasonable price!

🇺🇸

No matter how many times Republicans fight to revoke their rights, or disinvite them from their conventions, they just don’t learn Republicans would Holocaust them if they could.

All for what? Because they’re literally more passionate about tax cuts/cheats for rich fuck societal leeches than their very existence being protected in society.

“Sorry we don’t live our lives for the opportunity to destroy ourselves for senpai company owner like you.”

My supervisor doesn’t know how to maintain what I build, despite me attempting to show her. At this point, we openly pity each other, her because I have no desire to do more than what my job entails, take the paycheck, and leave to go live my life, and I because she proudly has no life to go home to because she spends 12 hours a day plus here acting like Jesus on the cross for the greedy, indifferent owner.
