In response to your second paragraph, someone posted above that it's racism. The Teamsters, at least this... Uh governing body?... Fired a number of people in leadership, 3/4 of them racial minorities. When they rehired for these newly opened positions only 1/4 of those hired were racial minorities.
Sick nasty
Thanks for your post, it's well written.

I wish I could after on the guns things but I should not own a gun! I have a history of depression and I super don't want to have easy access.
That said, put a gun in my hands and I'll do my part to end fascism. I'm even a fairly decent shot for having only fired a gun 3 different times. Just please take the thing away from me when I rotate out.
Better yet, get me an fpv headset.

Wait... You what now?
It seems as though you underestimate the appeal of billions of dollars. It's not just the ability to never have to work again. Or power, prestige or any other nonsense. Or even just having tons of money. It's not greed that makes it appealing.
It's the security. The safety if knowing you'll never have to worry about food or housing. That your parents and family will be well taken care of. Your children will be able to have it all, that you've set them up for success and they won't have to struggle. It's knowing that your best friend who was diagnosed with cancer will have the best care available, wherever that may be in the world, and won't have to worry about food or housing or anything else while getting better.
You're either too young to understand or are lacking in empathy.
I'm not saying being a billionaire isn't inherently immoral. But the reason people take payouts like that are not solely down to greed.
A little humor helps.
Pshh I bet you use acoustic time.
I finally deleted Twitter from my phone a couple weeks ago.
I only used it for porn for the last 3 years and hadn't been on in over a month but I saw an article on here and was curious. So I opened it up and looked to see how the porn situation was going. I was going to keep it around if I could find a bit of good porn. But I scrolled and scrolled down through my feed and I only had politics, bigots, ragebait, and hateporn. I hadn't realized it had gotten so bad... I also have no idea where all my porn creators fled to.
Oh well, nothing of value was lost.
I have to admit, I've not seen the videos in question here but FriendlyJordies had been putting it videos talking about and exposing corruption in Australian and NSW governments. Even having his house fire bombed over exposing some of this corruption. I think I saw a video talking about this case from him and I have to admit I've never heard the term "wog" before and it doesn't look or sound like much... But that's part of the insidiousness of a slur. Jordies videos have targeted individual politician in the past and I believe this guy in particular because of their corrupt dealings and or ties to the mafia and or general anti-citizen/anti-poor policies.
From what I've seen of Jordies, I would assume he either believed that this politician way forfeited his right to feel bad about the names he's called, kind of like Trump here in the States, or just didn't understand how much emotional damage he was causing. I'm not saying this makes it right but there is likely more to the story than what has been brought up in the court case. I think Australia has some laws about speaking civilly about public figures and it looks like he ran afoul of those laws.
Hmm I wonder even more how this works for Grandpa Sisko. How does his restaurant get allocated the food he needs to make his famous jambalaya? He makes it very clear the food he uses is NOT replicated.
If I had to guess, it's because women go to hair stylists and men go to barbers. This barber is like, "yo, I can cut all hair! I'm a stylist too!"

5 minutes is murder, 10 feels so much better!
10 minutes let's my mind kind of wrap shit up and makes the next alarm hurt less.
