It’s by design. Keep people stupid, and use religion for its intended use, a tool for control.

We the masses are the foundation for their wealth and power.

Time off work with holiday pay, If you’re lucky.

Otherwise it’s a capitalism thing to buy stuff to make companies money.

Don’t fuck a corpse, that’s nasty. Throw it into a landfill, then free Luigi!

They are stupid. Racism is just so dumb. Literally, bigots are just unintelligent.

I disagree but unless we get actual data on why people are choosing not to have kids then we don’t really know for sure.

I’d say the major reason is wealth inequality, cost of living, inflation, housing prices, etc. Everything’s too expensive… everything. It’s getting to the point that life isn’t even worth living anymore, as its just a repetitive cycle to work and pay bills. I both can’t afford to have a kid, nor would I want to bring one into this hellscape.

Again no way to know the real reasons unless we get the data.

Even in fictional universes that have wizards in space with swords made of light?

This is enraging. Makes my blood boil.

I’m not seeing anyone reporting on an actual reason biden would do this. If anyone has any source on that I’d like to see it. What the fuck could his justification be? If anything, the judges deserved much harsher sentences, not a fucking pardon.

Insanity. If not, please enlighten me.

They are the goat method actors. They actually created a real zombie disease, and gave it to themselves to play the role. RIP.

I don’t get it. What’s the problem?

It sucks major but it could be someone who lives in a small bubble, doesn’t use social media, and only watches fox news. Or whatever local news channel. If that’s all they see, they might think they did the right thing. They could be oblivious.

They could also be a bootlicker. Time will tell if we get more info. If their info is released the 50k probably won’t be worth it.

most employees say the shortened week has also improved their work-life balance.

This is worded funny, implying there are some who said less hours did not improve work life balance. I can’t really figure that.

Regardless I really wish this would catch on. 32hr workweek would be such an awesome improvement. But in the USA I’m really not holding my breath this would be adopted wide scale. Our system is about exploiting the worker not altruism. I just see big business fighting back hard for as long as possible.

It’s not about making big money. These small time landlords still drive up the cost of rents by going with “market rates” and increasing rents over time. They are just “small time greedy”.

Not nearly as evil as large scale landlords obviously, but rare to nonexistent is a landlord who won’t continually raise rent when they don’t need to.

EDIT: LOL you idiots can downvote me all you want it doesn’t mean I’m wrong, because I’m not.

I’ve rented from mostly small time landlords, more importantly I’ve worked with, and currently work with people who buy and own extra rentals as side businesses to rent out. They brag about having tenants pay their mortgage, and I hear their experiences of raising rents to get more money (their mortgage hasn’t changed, they just want more). They both laugh and complain when tenants need things fixed, they delay and try to figure out how to go cheap or “how can I legally place the responsibility on the tenants”.

Decent landlords are a small minority. Most who do this are leaches. Fuck landlords.

Who fucking rules us?

Sociopaths mostly I’d say.

There’s a great Tom Waits song called God’s away on business with some pertinent lyrics:

who are the ones we left in charge? Killers, thieves and lawyers

Great song btw.

They’ll find bootlickers. Lawyers know what they’re doing.

Good and get it to them fast before republicans block it somehow.

Haha puppy dog feet.

Net worth, not income.

All net worth including stocks, property, etc.

Yeah and it’s because of big business and lobbying etc.

Capitalism so fucking stupid. Capitalism is why we can’t have nice things lol.

We buy cheap shit that breaks and doesn’t last long because if it was actually high quality and long lasting, the company wouldn’t make enough profit to stay in business!

A new cheaper, healthier, and waaaay more efficient and ethical method to provide protein to people… no way!

Capitalism blows chunks.

Let’s hope they live in fear. Let’s hope they are never comfortable, even in their mansions and yachts.
