The US gets half its sugar from sugar beets.

This is fuckin stupid.

Of all the things to publicly tell on yourself with. Damn man.

That show was so fuckin stupid. But also weirdly wholesome. Nary a jot of creep shit for the whole run. I was genuinely surprised.

I’m not trying to convince you of shit. Believe what you want.

What choice do people have in a fascist theocracy?

And it’s impossible to explain to people who haven’t lived it.

I been on the bottom rung. So I know that kind of living. And because of that I help when I’m able to.

We see and hear what the US state dept wants us to hear. And nothing more.

As to the core of your question. The answer is nukes. Nukes are the only way to fend off the imperial aggression of the United States and its imperialist partners.

Well. They’re right. There is no reason to be there other than money. All the passion for logistics or predatory bullshit or whatever is concentrated in the c-suite. All us wage slaves are just that. Slaves. We are there under duress. We live in a constant state of extortion. We’re forced to whore ourselves so we can pay various rents, taxes, and for sustenance.

Cuz the man who gave up Universal Healthcare to give us fucking Romneycare while having total control of the govt really knows how to play hardball.

Well of course they did. They’re all on the list. So are their donors.

It’s a creative country. They don’t need a slopbot to make substandard garbage for them.

Solid cop logic. Of the exact level you’d expect.

You wanna talk about reasonable.

Nowhere in the continental US can a person afford rent on minimum wage working a full time job. Not one state.

And it’s the fault of landlords jacking up prices because they could get away with it. Not just them. But the problem existed before Covid. Before Private Equity got the idea to buy everything.

You choose to be a parasite. Well, you chose to do so.

“When you get paid this amount, we just can’t give it to anybody,”

That’s why. Shitheads want the labor. But they don’t want to pay a fair wage to everyone. Not even for hot dangerous work like this. Ever seen a video of an accident at a steel mill? It’s horrific death and disfigurement. Might get your feet burned off. Might get caught under some 2000 degree steel and cook to death. And these bastards don’t want to pay for that risk.

And that isn’t an accident. It’s by design.

It’s a race to the bottom. Go look for a job now. Your best offers are less than half what they should be. They want masters degrees and a decade of experience for “entry level” work. The more desperately poor people there are the less they can offer to recruit. Less pay, fewer benefits.

Isn’t it though? Was slavery ended by debate? Did Lincoln send a strongly worded letter to the president of the CSA that tore at his heart strings and made him see the humanity in his slaves? How about the Gilded Age? The unions sat the bosses down and laid out the facts and the oligarchs of the day just let us have the 8hr day, 40hr week, weekends, pensions. All out of the goodness of their hearts.

Some people just need killing. That’s all there is to it. I’m American. I know how we’re propagandized from the age of comprehension into believing that violence is never the answer. But that’s all it was. Propaganda. It took murder to make United Healthcare provide the service they exist to provide. And it didn’t last 6 months. At that point more murder was necessary but nobody stepped forward.

Tariffs are fucking stupid.

It’s just an unconstitutional tax on Americans. But I’m glad to see it. As stupid as it is it further isolates this shithole. Makes other countries do business with each other and exclude this country. Which is a win for everyone. Except us. But we elected a fascist gameshow host. We got a debt to pay.
