why does every tech innovation since like 2012 feel like it was designed to molest someone?

You got to love how the cope for this one is โ€œit would be too hard for the bean counters at ensign peak to move the money aroundโ€.

Like no, they DO just want to control what you wear but are running into compliance problems in the global south because it doesnโ€™t snow half of the year.

Itโ€™s so cool that the office is practically designed to select for the oldest man in the quorum.

The Mormon Churchโ„ข quite literally has โ€œfairy godmotherโ€ levels of money that it could use to increase production if it really wanted to โ€” and pay their garment workers a living wage.

Also, the church has billions invested in companies that use slave labor so spare me the performative moralism

Itโ€™s so interesting that the alleged Kirk shooter was reported by someone in his local Mormon leadership.

For years, the Church has fought against mandatory reporting laws that would require them to report members who sexually abuse children.

After reading the biography of David O McKay and how senile he was towards the end, the congregations might have just been conditioned to accept it at this point.

One reason the Democrats are not inspiring much confidence as an โ€œopposition partyโ€ is that their leader supports a fascist crackdown by his own political opponents because it aligns with his personal support for an apartheid foreign government.

Unfortunately his wealth is generated in a way that is almost completely alienated from the ability to boycott. It all comes from a mix of government contracts, stock market bullshit, carbon credit manipulation, etcโ€ฆ

America created one of the best knowledge-producing university systems in the wake of World War II, and we are seeing it decimated before our eyes. Itโ€™s been under attack for a while, but now itโ€™s a full-on assault.

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend.

This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

Apparently all the church has to do is jingle some keys and these morons at the east coast think tanks will clap and cheer. The โ€œcompromisesโ€ he cites were two initiatives that the church supported specifically because they made sure that they would be exempt from them having to follow them.
