Was neglecting capitalism the mistake or the design?

Get out of consequences of your shitty behaviour by doing more shitty things that hurt people.

Jesus Christ, make cops require personal insurance for these payouts and watch the problem solve itself

American education has also been nerfed to the masses, so critical thinking skills were destroyed. They created a system of useful idiots for control, rather than educating a nation for prosperity. This has been decades in the making.

Trace the money.

You pay if your toilet leaks, they can be held to the same standard. They should have noticed their water meter reading crazy numbers and deciding to inform the utility company and investigate their pipes.

The case won’t be resolved until Trump is your president next year.

Downvote all you want, you better show up at your polling location with all your family and friends and coworkers and neighbours on election day if you want to avoid it

He doesn’t need to be right.

Cancer doesnt have to be correct to spread, it just has to take hold in enough places to become a real problem.

Try to remember that everything you have in your life or purchase for daily use is conveniently close to your non-car lifestyle because of hydrocarbon powered transportation networks, which doesn’t just eat the cost as a gesture of goodwill, the price of transportation is included in what you purchase.

COVID and recent financial policies changed our economy from “charge what it costs + a reasonable profit margin” to “what’s it worth to you?”

The first one gets shock

The second one gets attention

The third one develops the pattern

Suddenly redistributing wealth is important for our economy and society more than it was before the first.

The game isn’t to be the best person to fix America. The game is not fucking up.

They tell people what they think online and on tv, you don’t need a debate. The only thing that can happen to old men like Trump and Biden on a debate stage is them fucking up.

A massive win on stage wouldnt change their base or sway people more than pundits hammering your point eloquently for you, but a fuck up would end them, so they don’t go.

I think we need to seperate the ability for a corporation to make decisions of its own free will from the notion of fairness and equity for a society which allowed a franchise like Wendy’s to be created. They’re giving many of their supporters the middle finger after thinking they found a winning lottery ticket.

I can understand being pissed off about it as someone who isn’t rich, but I also understand it’s a system I have no control over other than what I choose to buy myself. I won’t support Wendys if they want to choose profits over people. It’s sad to see more of the world turn into a heartless corporate hellhole.

I personally hope they got their numbers wrong and they fail.

They wouldn’t do it without crunching the numbers first.

They may lose 15% of their customers, but the ones that stay bring in 25% more money with less capital spent on labour and resources by having less customers.

The point isnt making good food for people. The point is funneling money towards the conglomerate that owns the Wendy’s franchise. This is capitalism.

They’re outright accepting less customers in favor of those willing to pay higher prices.

That’s great for a quarter, maybe a year, maybe 5. At what point does it catch up and you’ve trained everyone to stop eating fast food because you wanted to charge more than people can dedicate to food?

Why do you think the ultra rich are building themselves doomsday bunkers? Conflict and disaster are coming.

They believe the science they’re asking you to ignore. They also believe they’re not planning to stop anything.

If he’s asking me, he’s an asshole. I choose to interpret it the way you did, and use it as a way to improve yourself and your community.

Letting it burn down would be best, it’s going to be torn down and destroyed anyway if it was that hard to put out.

Edit: not sure I empathize with those downvoting me, I dont see a world where a private business’s asset, which is covered by insurance, is worth the health and safety of an entire community for any length of time.

Sorry Helen, we can’t run your dialasys machine because it would inconvenience Mr. Landowner. Sorry Martha, I know you’ve just been in a lab accident and your skin is melting off, but we need the emergency shower water for Mr. Businessman so that he thinks we’re doing work instead of caring about our community.

Well, we’re here talking about an important issue and he’ll be remembered forever.

What are you using your life for?

Why would millions of Russians be killed if Russia left Ukraine and went back home? Its Putin, not Ukraine. Slava Ukrainia!

Your UK community ended up on the front page of someone outside the UK, it’s a risk you take when discussing things that others are participating that aren’t a part of you society.

Gives you something to think about anyway, depending on the context.
