It's easy to give good advice. Following good advice is the hard part

Better to err on the side of people dying in the streets than to accidentally let too many workers be able to have enough free time to think about improving society and organizing or protesting.

Yes and loopholes for trusts and family "businesses" and all kinds of things. But anything is better than doing nothing. Gotta start somewhere

God please tell me we aren't, please I know we are already doing terrible things but landmines are just terrible and they maim civilians, children with legs blown off.

Anyone who still supports this administration is a fool or a monster.

And none of the viewers thought to look in the mirror and ask - am I Homer? Just because your boss doesn't have a flamethrower doesn't mean the work isn't bad for the world.

I bent it using it normally, but can't remember what food bent it. I was impressed with how shitty it was so I bent it back and have been keeping it around.

 

Fucking coworkers talking about me in front of me.

"Wow you are smiling today! You never smile!"

"I know right! He always looks like he wants to kill himself!"

I have depression and I don't like being a gloomy fuck and I'm trying but goddamn if people saying shit like this doesnt make me want to stay home or go ahead and off myself jesus fucking christ. Are they oblivious or are they making fun of me to my face I don't know.

This shit is old and still true

From YT description; In this compelling speech before Congress, Warren Buffett delivers a strong argument for a fair tax system, calling out the growing wealth gap and the dangers of eliminating the estate tax. He warns against a society where dynastic wealth replaces meritocracy, emphasizing the need for a progressive estate tax to prevent America from turning into a plutocracy. Buffett also proposes an alternative: using estate tax revenue to support low-income households, ensuring fairness in a system that disproportionately benefits the ultra-wealthy.

Key takeaways include: ✅ Why removing the estate tax would widen economic inequality ✅ How the wealth gap has skyrocketed over the last 20 years ✅ The real impact of tax law changes on the super-rich ✅ Buffett’s proposal to support low-income families instead of eliminating the estate tax ✅ The moral and economic argument for tax fairness

This is a must-watch for anyone interested in economic policy, wealth distribution, and tax fairness. Learn directly from Warren Buffett’s insightful perspective on how to create a more just and balanced economy.

 
 

It's time. Everyone agrees the DNC is a failure for numerous reasons. It's time to stop bitching and figure out how to fix it.

How do we get people like Bernie, AOC and Jon Stewart in charge?

 

No casual politics forum so hope this is OK here.

Today I saw a totem pole made of skeletons. I tried to come up with a word for it, something like skeletotem pole and accidentally imagined a similar sounding scrotum-totem pole.

Now you are going to imagine one. Do you draw faces on them? Position them to make eyes and stretch them out?

You're welcome.
