Yep, it certainly is, but hardly anyone ever talks about it, especially not in mainstream media. Why? Because the ones doing it, i.e. the corporations, own the media. They’re not going to tell on themselves. Instead they’ll gaslight and lie about supposedly “rampant” retail theft that is nowhere near as widespread as they like to claim and constantly report. And gullible people believe them because it’s on the news, it must be real, right?

I wouldn’t be surprised if FB/Meta tried to just settle out of court and pay them off.

Has he been to an office before? Just because you’re in an office doesn’t mean you’re “working hard.” Lots of people do random web browsing, online shopping, etc., while at work and on the clock. Typical belief of old timers. They think your presence at a desk is somehow a magical indicator of a hard worker.

The companies that continue to try to force RTO will just alienate most millennials and zoomers. Good luck finding a wide enough group of people to fill those jobs you supposedly need filled. Most workers hate RTO, no matter how much BS, posturing, and gaslighting you do corporate, you’re not going to win this one.

I mean why not right? I plan to get one eventually along with a Sega CD. I bought a Saturn a couple years ago and only have 1 game for it still (Virtua Fighter). But I wanted one so I got one. I remember playing one during the national tour they did right before launch back in the day. I think someone I knew growing up had a 32X and a different person had a SCD, but I didn’t know anyone that had them both.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they wind up charging everyone a subscription fee to access websites.

Cool, thanks for the info.

Born 1969, he might as well be a Boomer, cause he sure acts like one. The early Gen X cuspers, of which he is one, are basically just younger Boomers IMO. Or Xoomers if you prefer. Dude sounds like a giant POS and can GTFO.

I have actually read it cover to cover as well. But just because something is written in a book doesn’t make it true. The genre of fiction exists. And the very concept of religion, all of them are made up. As in there was a time in the history of Earth where no religion existed. Dinosaurs didn’t have religion for example, and they came before humans, who created religion.

Jesus, whom they claim to love/worship/etc., would be labeled a dirty commie/socialist by them for wanting to help the poor, sick, and needy. And for loving everyone. They hate Jesus. They worship supply side Jesus AKA Republican Jesus.

Okay thanks.

Same thing with banning books. This is fascist bullshit and it’s not about protecting children or anyone else. It’s about pushing their false Christianity, their christofascism on everyone whether they like it or not and trying to turn the country into a fascist “Christian” theocractic dictatorship where they can say and do whatever they want whenever they want about anything or anyone but no one else can.

Musk is such a dumbass. He thinks all he has to do to rename it to X is change the logo, do a domain redirect, and change the name in less than 1% of the places it needs to be changed. Most large companies would have all this in place before going live with it.

Unless there’s more shown than in that photo, that’s a not a 1 BR, that’s a studio. And a crappy and overpriced one at that.

I mean if they got everything they wanted, that’s great, but I think the country as a whole would, in the long term, benefit from them striking anyways. Why? Because those in power think they’re immune to consequences for their actions. They think they hold all the power and can do whatever they want whenever they want. The only way other than a revolution to take some of that power back is for a massive general strike unlike this country has ever seen before.

Okay thanks.

Well, I was more meaning like if you don’t know a specific name for a community and you just have a general topic in mind. I’m guessing search is the best option?

National median rent is something like ~$1,500-$1,900 depending on what source you use. Every place I’ve rented required 3 times rent to qualify. That means you need to earn $4,500-$5,700/month gross or $54,000-$68,400/year gross or ~$26-$33/hour if working 40 hours/week. Federal minimum wage is still $7.25. I believe the median income is around $66,388/year, so while some can afford it, yes, many can’t, 2/3rds of the country is living paycheck to paycheck right now.

Yes, percentage wise there’s not a lot of people on minimum wage compared to those who aren’t, but this doesn’t account for people who make more than minimum wage but still don’t make enough to afford rent. People shouldn’t have to live with family, friends, or random roommates to afford housing.

That’s not how society is supposed to function. We make individuality a big thing in this country yet we refuse to let a portion of society be individuals by pricing them out of things like having their own place. Society is supposed to make things better for everyone, not a select in group and then fuck everyone else.

Also artificial scarcity is a thing. Those who can provide more goods or services choosing not to to drive up prices.

Searches for things online by typing it as a post on social media instead of using a search engine as in: “Google what is the weather like today near me?”

I’m pretty sure what I would suggest would violate TOS. Nazis were not voted out. A literal war was fought to get rid of them. You can’t vote them out. Democrats are fascists. Republicans are fascists. Just because one says nicer things and promises to do things (that they never do), doesn’t make them not fascist.

Any self respecting actual left person wouldn’t vote for a Democrat or a Republican. And voting won’t fix anything anyways. It hasn’t for 50+ years. Why would it now? You can’t vote out fascists and oligarchs. The rich keep getting richer and everyone else keeps getting poorer no matter who is in power/control.
