Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.
I’m single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.
ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru.)
Also, I refuse to use Donald’s last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.
You know what demoralizes me?
That my 80 year-old parents are stuck in poverty no matter who we elect. They were poor under Obama. Poorer under Trump I, and then poorer still under Biden. They’re 80 years old and driving for DoorDash, and no Democrat is going to lift a finger to stop it.
Oh, I do.
I just don’t trust the majority to do anything meaningful themselves. It’s why recycling doesn’t work and why Democrats and Republicans keep getting elected. Our only power now is local.
They could abuse quorum rules or incessantly call for a point of order if they cared. Anything to slow down this fascist machine.
When Biden/Obama were in office they had the power to keep Congress in session indefinitely if they wanted.
But they don’t care.
On a macro scale I do think the privacy ship has sailed. Seeing the leaked illegal footage in the Guthrie case confirmed that the big tech companies are spying on us, storing the footage permanently, and leaking it to the government covertly upon request. I don’t think it’s unfair to presume that both ruling parties know and love this, which means we’re never turning back that clock.
On the local level, though, change is still eminently possible. I actually drafted an email to my HOA this morning about getting these doorbell cams banned in my building.
No curiosity here. I just assume I’m being monitored everywhere I go now, though I keep my phone in a faraday bag when I’m not using it, so that at least is something.
All a person can do now is manage the problem incrementally. I love the idea of people sabotaging doorbell cams though.
Call me when he doesn’t wake back up.
Honestly, I found that horrified picture of Creepy Andrew satisfying as heck. It will remain to be seen the extent of consequences he’ll face for what he did in a material sense, but I love that his brother didn’t run cover for him like the old bitch used to.
Let me know how that works out for you. Cheers.
I love the sound of that.
But it isn’t happening. Corporations will get a refund. People will not, and the prices will remain elevated.
That’s their job
Is it though? In Donald’s America?
Holy shit.
Kudos to this judge for knowing their shit and acting on it. I love it.
What bugs me is that is really shouldn’t be legal for tech companies to just unilaterally decide that the local residents are going to subsidize their power costs.
But we’re in America, where every single douchy thing a capitalist can do will absolutely be done, and both of our ruling parties will just shrug and keep collecting their bribes in the interim.
Good on the people for waking up to this and fighting back.
You partisans have created a world where voting matters so little to most that, yes, they might as well not miss a day of work for all the good it does in their lives.
Hopefully the people can elect a few more Zohrans and Platners and thumb you all in the eyes a bit.
