You think the millions of people that got embroiled in the various apocalyptic wars throughout history didn't say to themselves something like that in order to just keep going?

How about the EU declares all their drugs generics and sets up a factory to produce them cheaply.

I'm guessing the Chinese diet doesn't have as much corn syrup in it.

It's mocking Trump and MAGA's fantasy. For the workers it's providing them with work that is unpleasant, poorly paid and painful. For the factory owners it is ending up with staff that just aren't going to be productive.

As for toiling for a pittance: Trump is trying to devalue the dollar and erode workers rights in a race to the bottom. Apart from the fact that, as others here have pointed out, the endgame would be automation the intermediary stage is pushing those in precarity and poverty into jobs that don't benefit them in any meaningful way.

But the Chinese, being somewhat keener students of human nature, have distilled those arguments into thirty seconds of comedy gold.

Mate, there are so many things that suggest I am on the spectrum now that I have given up keeping track of them all. I'm not sure that at my time of life there's anything that can be done for me even if I did get a diagnosis.

Yeah, if my memory is correct the flickers stopped completely for me at around 80hz. I'm talking about monitors here rather than TVs.

 

Seriously, did they just go down the Westminster Jobcentre?

 

This gave me a big belly laugh:

Another Conservative said: “The answer is we need to find a way to appeal to voters we lost to all parties. I don’t know how you do that on policy, but Keir Starmer showed you can do it by looking competent and serious. But I don’t know if any of the candidates we have at the moment can do that.”

 

The original settlement of Salisbury was known as Old Sarum. The population and cathedral city had moved in the 14th century to New Sarum, at the foot of the Old Sarum hill.

 

Turns out they're capitalists too...

 

To them it's hilarious that all of our suffering was caused by someone else praying for it.
