Claims a suspected genetic condition is preventable but refuses to advocate prevention for actual diseases…

Some better apology suggestions (besides just implementing DEI again)

*start selling “say no to fascism” merch front and center
*pressure legislators to impeach the president
*pressure Congress to take back control of tariffs (although this one is also in your own best interests)

Wikipedia excerpt

“The novel is set against the backdrop of a dystopian United States that has come under the grip of a Christian fundamentalist denomination called "Christian America" led by President Andrew Steele Jarret. Seeking to restore American power and prestige, and using the slogan "Make America Great Again", Jarret embarks on a crusade to cleanse
America of non-Christian faiths. Slavery has resurfaced with advanced "shock collars" being used to control slaves. Virtual reality headsets known as "Dreamasks" are also
popular since they enable wearers to escape their harsh reality.”

I realize I’m probably late to this party but I just finished “Parable of the Sower” by Octavia E. Butler and looked up “Parable of the Talents” and it is fucking creepy this was written in 1998…

Yeah sat around a table with a bunch of women that “just couldn’t give up Amazon” 🙄

Not only was giving up Amazon morally correct, it also saves me tons of $ on stupid things that no one actually needs…

And even some of us straight white people will walk…although i repeatedly find myself disappointed in how many people purport to have progressive views but are unwilling to slightly inconvenience themselves for those views.

I’ve always argued that if we add what we pay for health insurance + medical out of pocket to the taxes we pay, we would have a clearer comparison to what Europe pays.

America yelling about a trade deficit with other countries while unemployment *was* historically low and our wealth is the highest in the world is like the rich kid at the table yelling that he didn’t get ice cream with his cake while other children are sitting there with empty plates.

We are in fact losing investment because what company wants to place additional assets in a place where they can be held hostage by a single tweet.

I think counterpoint is while our society may be rich, a fair portion is way more insecure than some poorer countries because of our medical system.

However morons blew up the bridge instead of building a new lane.

Hate him with passion but the Mar 2020 ones would probably have been political party agnostic.

2018 & 2025 totally fair game and I wonder what else would crop up if we removed those?

Think him losing the top spot to the @midastouchmedia.bsky.social podcast had anything to do with it?

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

There’s an option for that…wreck the US economy to the point where we can’t buy anything…
