If you're employed to make marketing material in any medium for any sort of mattress company, have you considered locking the doors and burning the building down with all inside?

I'm confused (not really) by Democrats' response to this administration. They say it's the end of democracy, but then put forth suggestions that require working within the system. If fascists have control, anything less than arresting all the fascists for treason is surrendering to them.

If you love your dog, leash your dog.

All around I see more and more empty office buildings and vacant retail places. So why is anyone building new offices? Because being a landlord is the only profitable industry anymore. But we have the power to change that.

If a company texts me about a job, I immediately and permanently think less of them. Texts are for interpersonal communication. Send an email like a grown-up.

If one word is considered "offensive" but a synonym is acceptable, then your issue isn't the word, but a lack of maturity. This goes double for bleeps and triple for asterisks.

In "Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut" news, the Toupee-in-Chief says we're getting rid of pennies.

I can't wait to get a job so I can trade in my crippling depression for crippling burnout.

Anything required by law (like filing taxes, for example) should not have any financial barrier to complying with the law (so free). Anything that can't be free to the public but is still required by law (like car insurance) should be run by the government at no profit.

All these industries that are going to be hit the hardest due to mass deportations survive because immigrants are ok with starvation wages. And that isn't ok.

All insurance in its current form is a scam. What other industry makes its profits by not providing the service people pay them for? Insurance, whether auto, home, renters, pet, etc. should be a government service that does not turn a profit. And healthcare (inc. eyes and teeth) should be free.

I'm more than a little perturbed by the sudden outpouring of pro-China sentiment. As bad as the US is, try mentioning Tiananmen Square 1989 on any of their social media before claiming that the Chinese government is less bad than ours.

This war on sugar (in favor of zero calorie sweeteners) must end. High Fructose Corn Syrup is a blight on our society, but the solution is to go back to using (moderate) amounts of real sugar (and fat, when appropriate).

Dear all of social media: The only time I will have my volume above zero is for videos of dogs, and I only want to hear the dog(s), not your dumb song pick.

An unnecessary tariff on coffee may finally be the thing that united the American people all across the political spectrum. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how effective an army of tired, irritable, and brainfogged people will be.

Public transportation taking 4-8x as long as driving is a huge tax on the working class. No one should have to commute more than 30min to their daily job.

The hardest part about being mostly happy with your life is that dying in the revolution is no longer an attractive retirement plan.
