I’m turning 42 this summer. I’m considered an “elder millennial”.

I’m tired, boss.

Potentially, to both of us. But given Trump’s and his ardent supporters’ speech patterns and behavior, the odds are that they’re in the category of “too stupid to know they’re stupid”.

Smart people seem stupid to many stupid people because many stupid people are too stupid know they’re stupid.

Is anyone else a firm believer that Event Horizon is canonically “in-universe” with Warhammer 40K?

How do people become such pieces of shit?

Chrystia Freeland, author of Plutocrats, says that the present trend towards plutocracy occurs because the rich feel that their interests are shared by society:

You don’t do this in a kind of chortling, smoking your cigar, conspiratorial thinking way. You do it by persuading yourself that what is in your own personal self-interest is in the interests of everybody else. So you persuade yourself that, actually, government services, things like spending on education, which is what created that social mobility in the first place, need to be cut so that the deficit will shrink, so that your tax bill doesn’t go up. And what I really worry about is, there is so much money and so much power at the very top, and the gap between those people at the very top and everybody else is so great, that we are going to see social mobility choked off and society transformed.

40 days should be indefinitely until management changes. As in, those who “kissed the ring” must leave.

“Deeply concerned.” How reassuring.

I still don’t want to think he’s a bad person, but for me, why he is a bad person is because zero “too-big-to-fail” CEOs went to jail during the immediate aftermath of the '08 crisis.

He could’ve nationalized the banks that were underwater. Even temporarily. The DoJ had ample evidence, precedent, and prosecutorial room to make heads roll. He was the one person who had power to do so. “Yes, we can!” became “No, I won’t.”

He’s not the only one in my lifetime to screw the American people, but as a young 25-year-old man, his betrayal stung the most in the wreckage of 2008 into '09. I voted for him. I thought I genuinely liked him.

When it came down to it, he’s actually like all the rest. Socialize the losses; privatize the gains.

Eat the billionaires. Sic semper tyrannis.

Pension funds have invested in stocks and bonds for decades.

Time will. Just not soon enough.

Why do the richest have to be the craziest?!?

apothrical apocryphal

Or… was that on purpose? Am I not getting the joke?

Protesting against a government with ample amounts of 5th generation multi-role fighter aircraft, drones with Hellfire missiles, and plenty of rubes who are giddy at the prospect of shooting the populace they’d supposedly sworn to protect is a fool’s errand.

Wildcat strikes “are de wei”.

Well… not without some garlic and onion, naturalamente.

He should have gone to ground earlier in the campaign.

It can; is that hotly debated?

Fair; poking fun at your lemmy handle was admittedly unnecessary, but I thought it was a decent ribbing, given the name and what you claimed.

However, none of that absolves you from providing where you get the information that “everyone collectively agrees that the USPS is shit” compared to FedEx and UPS and what it’s specifically “worse” at. You’re not claiming something axiomatic like “2+2=4”, you’re making broad generalizations about “everyone”.

Of course, you can make claims without evidence and post wojak memes all day, but then “everyone” would “collectively agree” that you’re full of shit.

everyone collectively agrees

Evidence of this?

USPS is shit compared to their competitors FedEx and UPS

At what? Packages or letters? Bulk shipping? International? Domestic?

Define, refine, and support your terms and arguments.

Then again you decided on @[email protected] as a handle, so I suppose we should all expect nothing but “cock-a-doodle-doos” out of you.
