They don't want efficiency. It'll just be way more convenient for them if people start dying of preventable things.

I am firmly of the opinion that "cosplay" is a gross word.

Convenience is the opportunity cost of community.

I'm no libertarian, but taxation is really feeling like theft this year.

Activism around Gaza seems increasingly morally empty when the US government is SELLING US LEGAL RESIDENTS to SLAVERY OR WORSE in El Salvador and there is only shrugging in response. Where are the protests and endless social media posts? This is what we meant when we said Trump was worse.

History is filled with adults who insisted they were rational, competent, and altruistic but were actually only experts in letting there children down.

Is it not obvious to anyone else that these large tariffs are just another way for this president to make special side deals for countries and companies willing to kiss the ring?

Can we make America great again by returning to an economic system that centers consumers?

There is no market economy without a market. If consumers are too broke to consume, that's the end of the economy.

Slightly less crackpot theory. Why don't Tesla board members and share holders sue Elon for fiduciary malfeasance. His behavior is what is tanking his stock. Sue him for his role in the crash.

Corporate speak has created a world where sounding like action is read the same as action. Can we instead live in a world that just engages in reality? I know y'all don't like "negativity" but sometimes shit is just negative.

Let's normalize just talking to your friend about their toxic habits. Let's normalize minimal amounts of interpersonal confrontation because honestly y'all have gotten way too soft.

Crackpot theory: Our president promised to run government like a business. Our president is clearly behaving and making choices that are causing shareholders to lose money. Shareholders can sue CEOs for breach of fiduciary duty when they lose money. Why not use that insane policy for good?

I will vote for anyone who can make these damnable fundraising texts stop.

When I do my taxes should I just make the check out directly to Elon Musk or is there a more formal name I should use?

I don't think I'll ever forgive the people who just had to watch the world burn for themselves before they would believe it could.

It's a very familiar feeling that most women know. Sitting in a room of weak men who were never clever enough to win on merits acuse you of being ungrateful.

At some point we need to get everyone to really consider what government should be for and what role it should play in our lives. Too many citizens have read "limited government" to mean "still provides services" not understanding that those in power don't have the same definition.

Big duh. Great big duh.

This is a larger conversation but I never understood why small businesses would choose to take on the burden of healthcare for their employees instead of having a government coverage. Sure higher taxes but wouldn't that be ultimately cheaper than getting routinely hosed by insurance companies?

Intellectually, I can explain why people defend the behavior, but I lose all respect for anyone that requires being convinced to know that this behavior is abhorrent and an obvious threat of real actual physical violence and not to be ignored or dismissed.

How many red pilled dudes who want so badly to be "man of the house" know what it takes to run a house? Do they even make enough money to support it? Have you seen any of them try to make a decision? Comical.

Nothing is more attractive than intellectual curiosity. Nothing is less attractive than a picky eater.

We are experiencing a crisis of credibility. What makes a person trustworthy? It used to be extensive vetting. Now all it takes is for a person to become wildly, almost cartoonishly rich. I'd still trust Scrooge McDuck over these dudes. At least he was a good uncle.

I guess you can call me a conservative because I'd like to conserve our constitution.

The former party of "the government shouldn't pick winners and losers" is now headed by a guy who's life long MO is determining winners and losers based on fealty to him. I'd say it was hypocrisy but even at the time many people knew that line was double speak.

Imagine being the richest man in the world and still not having enough money to buy a personality.

Let him fail. That guy at work. The man of the house. The brother who always has a new angle. The men that excel in weaponized incompetence. Let him fail.

Being a billionaire is a conflict of interest.

JPMORGAN: “.. even with tariffs delayed, the persistent threat of tariffs and the associated increase in policy uncertainty will likely hurt investment decisions and weigh on business sentiment not only in Mexico and Canada, but potentially also in the US.”

#Maga will see the pause in tariff threats as evidence that Donald is good at deals, but they will be wrong. Rational people don't negotiate with chaos bullies. Mexico and Canada didn't "cave." Threatening tariffs is destabilizing. This behavior makes us weaker.

On the crazy memo outlining how the White House is going to keep agencies from issuing grants and loans enacted in the law, I think this is the most interesting sentence. OMB can OF COURSE grant exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Let the graft begin.

In the past week or so I've learned that though Trump and Musk supporters are ideological, that doesn't mean they're consistent.

There is no cancer in Ba Sing Se.

It's ten years of this at least.

I wonder if the cult will suddenly learn that bird flu is largely responsible for the egg prices and forgive their leader. They'll find a way to make excuses for him. It's like an abusive relationship.

Have the white dudes who are mad at DEI considered just being better at their jobs? No?

This is the insidious shit. Everyone who thinks they can weather the storm of this administration.... But hey, project 2025 wants to privatize the national weather service, too. Maybe you won't see that coming either.

To anyone who ever thought this administration was not anti-Semitic Ps- you can be pro Israel and anti semitic at the same time. Just fyi.

I called it 3 months too early. bsky.app/profile/atru...

So a career Elite man will be sworn in to the most elite position surrounded only by elites including the hyper elites who paid to be there. Voted in by people who hate elites. Bro, it's so confusing sometimes.

Coward. You know who isn't afraid of a wittle cold? Putin.

I move to strike the word "align" from our vocabularies, unless and until it only refers to framed art on a wall.

Watching Pete Hegseth hide his bad behavior behind the guise of Christianity might be commonplace but it's so gross. I know the answer to this but why haven't christians come for this kind of nonsense? His confirmation is inevitable and we are all in a more dangerous place than we once were.

Obvious political comments about white women always aligning with white supremacists before women aside, that one song is a jam. Maybe next time she'll think before she sings. #carrieunderwood

When was the last time your industry was good for employees and consumers?

Trumps response to this absolute nightmare in LA is his tried and true method of name calling and made up assertions. At some point the rubber meets the road and reality becomes inescapable 77 million people chose this guy in a crisis?

Counter conspiracy theory; the raw egg and raw milk people are crisis influencers funded by big pharma who are pushing to spread easily avoidable viruses and create another pandemic for which only big pharma can solve. #followthemoney #justaskingquestions #maha
