Never believe that a person who clings to power has your best interest at heart.

Oh god sorry I was just totally in the zone. Terms like sir just become completely gender neutral when I’m in my right-wing Karen zone

Well now hold on just a second there fella. It sounds to me like you may be racist against rich people. They worked hard to earn those tax breaks sir.

Seems like maybe we should reduce spending elsewhere 🤔

Glad to see there’s at least some valuable solutions being proposed. As someone who is in Gen z, I can say it’s extremely disconcerting that it’s taken this long for the legal and regulatory conversation to even get started.

When you spend time in the government or you brush shoulders with rich and powerful people, it quickly becomes very distressing when you realize how incompetent most of them really are. Smart people are too smart to involve themselves with the powerful.

The financial ruin is awful. But at least they were finally able to see that they married an idiot… right?

Agreed. I don’t want a duopoly.

I made the mistake of giving my DNA to ancestry many years ago. I wish I wouldn’t have. Now I feel like there’s not a single piece of me that isn’t available to those who want it, even my DNA. It’s not how I want to live.

The rhetoric that is plastered all over that site is genuinely astounding. It’s a cesspool now and I’m glad there are viable alternatives.

True. I think maybe pestilence and death are sometimes used interchangeably? I couldn’t remember them all so I looked them up and it said death as opposed to pestilence. But when I saw death I related that in my head to the pandemic.

Well they’ve all been around forever. It’s about how they culminate together to bring about the apocalypse. I’m sure China, Russia, and the US will be our modern day conquest warriors. The US has been conquering for decades now, but it’s not the classic form of conquest we’ve come to know.

Pretty sure Death, Famine, and War have already arrived and are setting up camp. Now they’re just waiting on Conquest. Not excited to see what this guy has in store for us.

There aren’t enough people who are willing to talk about what our actual best path forward is as a society. It’s not capitalism or socialism. It’s both. A perfectly balanced system would give us the best shot for creating a society that provides freedom, welfare, and protection for all.

What is this “Library” app?? Never heard of it

I agree 💯 But I also think it’s important to recognize there’s a growing sentiment that we can’t be at peace while the US military is in all corners of the globe. Those under the thumb of US influence have felt powerless for a long time. Eventually, they feel extremism is their only path forward.
