You seem well read and would probably agree that capitalism will climb or remove any barrier. The post war years that gave the boomers the biggest part of wealth creation in history was the result of policy that has since been dismantled bit by bit until we are once again back at the conditions for war, Fascism and social division.
-Look, the plebs are enjoying the spring weather on their free day. Let’s see if we can squeeze them a bit more.
Protest + boycott + general strike = power of the masses. Protest alone stopped the Iraq War, and genocide in Gaza and even the financial crisis. No, wait I read that wrong, protest does nothing unless its step 1.
The who? The Hu! Who? The HU!
You made me think stubeef had died. Bad meme! Bad!
Thank you so much America and RFK. Vaccines have become contested as scientific fact, and the only way to truly show the world the truth, is to rip away vaccines from a country that has them, and count the dead before and after. Your willingness to sacrifice potentially thousands of American lives to prove your opponents’ point, is almost Christ-like in its self-sacrificial nature, and Trump-like in its mythical level of stupidity and disregard for the value of human life. The rest of the world thanks you for ridding our countries of any traction vaccine skeptics might ever have had. We thank you for your service.
Still have a few shares from the old gamestop squeeze, said I’d keep them as a memory. Might not now.
Iirc, people in Soviet breadlines had money, but supply was limited and prices not allowed to follow demand. Money to spend, but nothing to buy.
Where is this from?
Discovered something fun this week, in Norwegian the word for employer is “work-giver”, but a bit of digging revealed that the alternative “work-buyer” existed but went out of use. I think people would sell their time and labor for more if the wording more clearly revealed the actual relationship.
Ancient Rome had privatized fire department. Caesar’s friend Crassus got the job and used it to extort people to sell their homes in a neighborhood when a fire broke out. As a result he became one of the richest people in history. He was also killed by the Persians who poured liquid gold (or silver, depending on source) on his decapitated head and sent it back to Rome.

The anti internet internet community. Where do I sign in? Or out?
Dude! This is the most prophetic thing in the whole Bible. Hear me out. Simon son of Jonah (not the whale guy), is a fisherman, and Jesus tells him to come along and fish people instead. Jesus gives him a nickname, Kephas, this nickname was then translated from Aramaic into Greek, Petros. Jesus later says that “On this rock I will build my church”, and that’s the meaning of the nickname Kephas/Petros, Stone, or Rock.
Now considering that Simon’s full name was Simon bar Yonah, in English: Simon son of John, or even Simon Johnson, then his full name with Jesus’ nickname is: Simon the Rock Johnson!
Funny coincidence? Skipping ahead a few thousand years, our current Rock is called Dwayne, and the meaning of that name happens to be Fishhook. And if you really wanna bring it home, Dwayne the Rock Johnson’s daughter is named… SIMONE! We’ve come full circle! The end times are near.
Am I mad as a hatter?
