I don’t think any single group is behind this—it’s just like a rumor that spreads in a Highschool. Not everything is black and white.
Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with you. They’re basically pirates. They’re pirates that wear suits.
We can’t forget that the USPS did operate in the “green.” Until Republicans in the 1990’s passed legislation that required post office workers a fat retirement pension. The pension program was specifically designed to run the “profitable” USPS into the “red.”
So, Republicans now 30 years later get to boohoo and cry about the inefficiency they manufactured to seize control of public assets to fill their own private suit pockets.
Sickening. Actually makes me physically ill thinking about this. I cannot wait for their comeuppance.
Who will you be conscripted by in the corporate wars?
The best summation of this was done in a speech by Kurt Vonnegut, Why my dog is not a humanist.
The full speech explains what you are going after.
Yeah it was a breath of fresh air for maybe 3 weeks. Before the leaders got their claws in.
In 1998, who could have predicted that in 2025, users would be the lords of porn pop-ups?
Forcing the Eye of Microsoft to gaze my mommy milker daddy dwarf bangers is truly the quintessential example of that which is nameless in the Tao.
They were grown ass men. Why the hell would they kill a living being like that? Trees talk to each other and they live well beyond our human years. The local area belongs more to the tree than any individual man—they’ll be here for centuries beyond us if they are lucky.
People don’t respect trees as much as they do animals and I do think that’s wrong. We should be very mindful of how we treat trees. I think we arrogantly underestimate plant life.
I’m sure some dwarves would call me a dirty elf for my feelings on this but chopping down trees like this for no reason is painful. I hope they get everything they deserve.
It’s kind of insane right? I have more education and should be better off but…I’ll be honest my quality of life as a college student during the Great Recession was scary but it was higher quality of life than I have now. I don’t even have kids.
I never worried about whether there would be food in the stores. I’ve been worrying about the supply chain for 5 years now. It’s not that I can’t afford the food it’s that the food isn’t nearly the same quality. Most of the food we are getting here goes rotten extremely quickly. Herbs are bad in the stores. Tomatoes are bland and bruised. It keeps getting worse.
Rent is softening in my city. I’ve been watching the market. I’ve also been going to open houses and negotiating with the agents on rent to see what they’ll say and where they stand. Tons of houses in my area sitting for 30 days plus. My soft estimate is a lot of the rentals near me don’t get that it’s not 2023 anymore and they’re roughly 15%-20% overpriced. Many are lowering their prices 4.5% every 2-3 weeks until someone rents.
Also seeing overly hopeful pricing for sale too. Lots of 10k-20k price cuts. Some cutting 100k when they sit a bit. The average days on the market was 45 days in Q4 2024 (if my memory is correct). Which isn’t abnormal but the days sitting is trending up — houses starting to sit longer.
We are about to hit the height of the rental market and selling season. I wouldn’t be surprised if some people have to price their rental below their mortgage if they are renting a house they overpaid for in 2023.
Not really good news if you’re holding real estate in America. Could be good if you’re in an area that might get a rental correction. We’ll see. Doesn’t help the inventory crisis. Still need more housing.
PugJesus deserves their own statue at this point.
