This is truly heinous! What absolute s c u m.

I don’t know how to do special emojis but just imagine one here that communicates ‘Jesus fucking Christ what the actual fuck’.

“Will the company cover all medical costs if we’re shot during our normal work day?”

You absolutely do not.

I was an audiotypist for benefit fraud interviews for many years. My partner at the time worked in the BDC. I’m also a first generation immigrant. What I’m trying to say is that you absolutely are talking out your arse.

I can assure you that even if anyone immigrates to the UK, the road between stepping foot in the country and being able to claim benefits is long and complex.

Why would you even lie?

I got key-logged by an abusive parent when I was 14. If that doesn’t make you take digital privacy and security seriously, nothing else will.

I’ve noticed people suppressing it or straight up just hand-waiving it away.

I had an important family member die quite horrifically because of covid (sudden, intubated, super traumatic). Yet people who know this in my life still say shit like ‘what’s the worst that could happen’ and chuckle to me when I insist on masking up.

I can never tell whether it’s because of delusion, denial, or nihilism.

Sounds like someone’s previous policies led to a brain drain in their business and now he’s hoping other employers will blindly follow this rhetoric (and shoot themselves in the foot) so he can poach their employees for his company gain.

I’m fine with billionaires eating each other so we don’t have to.

Again: The Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund still have active investments in Russia.

Where is the outrage for them?

According to this Norwegian publication in an article published January 31st 2023:

the Norwegian oil fund still holds hundreds of millions worth of shares in petroleum companies like Gazprom, Novatek, Bashneft and Lukoil

Even if the value of their investments lower, they still haven’t pulled out any from Russia. The investments could be worth very little, but they still have something invested in Russia.

Norwegian Government on February 28, 2022, ordered the Oil Fund to freeze all investments in Russia and prepare a plan for divesting with the goal of totally exiting the Russian stock market

What’s stopping them?

Little do they know that the US and the UK are really just vassal states of Norway.

The popularity of chemically composed shampoo and the promotion of using it was an OG capitalist grift at the turn of the 20th century that just got out of hand.

Many of the bravest and most impactful actions flow not from morals but instead grow from a place at our core where we finally acknowledge feeling dissatisfied.

Saying ‘No’ is a revolutionary act.

I was once a young kid living in an apartment that had the utilities shut off due to non payment. I didn’t understand why it was so cold or why I couldn’t get a drink of water.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for having integrity and compassion.
