We don't live in a limitless world. And adding robots will not change the limits. It just changes who does the work.
If we are clutching onto the shreds of democracy through bullshit votes where pointing out the obvious might break moral to the point of slipping fully into fascism.... That just feels like the end of an empire. Wasnt a statement on how to end it but a genuine question of;
So you you think this is the last chapters? Cause that sounds bad enough to look at history and see you don't normally come out the other side of this breakdown unscathed.
Just another simple answer why they think people that should agree with them don't.
Just don't look to hard into it. Come up with or be told an easy answer and get on with the day.
People are horribly simple things for being so complicated as a whole.
They have forgotten we grouped up and share for the betterment of our species, not just ourselves.
They have forgotten what it's like to be without any support cause they have felt unsupported.
Its easy to feel invulnerable and capable when you still haven't been tested.
I pity them even though I don't want to give them money either.
Holy damn I just couldn't stop reading.
Oh for sure. The people most concerned with Trumps policies are the wealthy who think it might hurt their business.
Porn, import, healthcare industries. Lots of rich people who see they won't get fair treatment either for their wealth alone like they expect from the duopoly they have been benefitting from for decades.
Its why MAGA think its somehow great cause everyone will burn but somehow they will escape the fire because... God?
Its corruption and insanity everywhere you look.
Pro fracking. Anti gun control. Pro Electoral College. Pro "entrepreneur" economics. Can sip a beer and barely look disgusted. Pro war. Pro taxation and tariffs. Anti environmental protections for big businesses. And pro death penalty.
I mean we already had early 2000 Republican presidents and the Republicans want someone worse and the Democrats that want change don't want it either.
So pretty bad.
the DNC is choosing unpopular policy? Brother this is a representative democracy. If harris wins, it's because it was the popular policy/stances.
Uhh.... No. Fracking isn't even popular as a majority position in PA where she's pushing it. But she's gonna anyways cause for some reason the minority is the "better" place to scrape votes from?
And in a 2 party system if one side is "literally evil" the other basically knows they have a blank check to run on as long as it's not the same policy as the evil side or else why would voters swap sides when evil wasn't a disqualifier?
We have polls that literally tell us what the popular positions are. Harris is not listening to those so whatever the reason is its not popularity.
As in that's such a small group they are probably more dedicated to their candidate and won't vote for anyone else.
Again. You can't expect to remove candidates from a ballot and their support will all just vote Democrat. It's a false logic to assume they belong to anywhere else other than their vote block.
When you have a large base that small percentage that's willing to vote off base ends up being a larger percentage of the vote overall as well.
Currently you would have to get every single last green party voter to give up and vote Blue which is an impossible ask. So even at 5% of the vote I'm not sure they could swing an election with enough if their candidate asked nicely.
They went high with their estimate though.
People doing completely conspiracy level of math with thinking you can just add those votes to Harris and she would win as a cope.
As far as I can tell they are over 9 feet tall... What the hell did they bury in their front yard?!
Yeah... This is half a packet of seeds and they are literally hopping from the fence to tree branches literally a couple feet away.
I swear it said it was a bush type too and this is more forest.
Well the branch holding my bell peppers fell off entirely from the weight.... So guess it's fajita night.
I honestly have so many Serranos and jalapenos but am the only one that loves spice so.... On the plant they stay for another days nachos.
And yes I know that is a leek but my onions aren't ready and it's a kitchen scrap garden. So using what I got.
My in the ground bell peppers are freaking massive.
I rent in an urban area and was given a backyard full of 6 foot tall weeds. Over the winter I managed to somewhat reduce their numbers and have been fighting them down since but also I didn't really have any money for gardening so I just went with direct inground with a bag of miracle grow for fertilizer and some cheap mulch for bedding.
Pretty much a scraps garden. I have green onions and regular onions, garlic cloves that sprouted, bell pepper and jalapenos, a potato plant, 2 basil and 3 Thai basil, a daikon scrap I'm letting flower I hopes of seeds I can plant next year, and all my beans and peas on the fence over there.
I also planted a blueberry bush that I realized I really should have kept in a pot cause I realized how long that thing is gonna grow for.
I also threw potatoes under the bush in the far back that is doing pretty good and a strawberry I won't ever be able to eat the fruit from because the critters get up earlier in the morning than me.
I mean come on! Like, sure ok then, please go on ahead.
Thanks, Stephen Pastis. I needed that.
