Funny meme but also inflation is bad

Too bad we don't have one from 1985 so we can definitively confirm they fucked up the recipe.

Good article, but the bit about airline customers being only slightly less likely to use the airline they hate is hardly something you can blame on customers.

If the alternatives either don't exist (e.g., United is the only feasible route between city A and City B), or they are both shitty (Delta is just as shitty as United, so the fact that United breaks guitars doesn't mean I'm more likely to pick Delta), then poor customer service is just the cost of existing.

Same situation as price gouging, or Apple vs Google, Ford vs Chevy, or Samsung vs LG. Yeah, you have options, but none of them respect you. So you can not travel, not communicate, and not be entertained, or you can "voluntarily" participate in what society has become.

From that perspective, any thoughts on Ho Chi Minh?

Of all the leaders good, bad, and, ugly over the last century, he doesn't seem to be brought up as much by propaganda machines.

That's a sacrifice they're willing to make.

10 GP probably isn't a bad idea

Excellent, I hope this endorsement helps bring more awareness to Mamdani as a candidate!

His presence on the national stage at this point has been cemented.

Honestly, I'm pretty tired of establishment telling us who we'll vote for.

Not very long ago America was never going to vote for a black man.

Bernie could never beat Trump... for some reason.

I just don't want progressives to do the work of conservatives.

Interesting, I guess this will be a good opportunity for analysis.

Yeah, I agreed with "now isn't the time" when there was a chance to prevent agent orange redux, but now.... Very much the time.

Oh, didn't realize, that is hopeful then

And absolutely agreed in the ranked choice voting. I commented somewhere else that Ohio is a perfect example of the Democrat party going all in to defeat it. Now if it's going to have a chance it'll be an overwhelming referendum and the party on control already has a history of ignoring those without repercussion.

I feel like I just need to watch someone use it... and then will still wonder what the point is and why an interior platform has so much more traffic.
