The vast majority of the billionaires in California are fighting tooth and nail to stop the so-called "Billionaire Tax".

The purpose of the tax is (in part) to fund safety net healthcare programs for the poor.

The billionaires oppose that. They oppose paying a tiny bit more money to help poor sick people.

Read that 100 times because it destroys every Libertarian trickle down lie.

This is war. The poor need to wake the fuck up before it's too late.

The Burial of the Bastion: The Graveyard of Human Knowledge

We catered to the machines our collective minds, thinking our souls were irreplaceable. Now, we are just breathing beings grazing the tombstones of our own communal funeral.

Almost every single person in my family is on psych meds.

Almost every single person in my family is on psych meds. - Divisions by zero

I am almost 40 and was recently diagnosed with adhd. I started taking Ritalin earlier this week and I have to say that I have been able to accomplish so much in my work that I was dragging my feet on before. I work freelance, so I can just put off tasks until they are needed. I told my brother about it today and found out that both he and his fiancee are also on psych meds. This applies to my wife’s immediate family as well. As I said, the meds work for me and things have improved a lot, but why is society setup in such a way that such a large number of people need to be medicated to be part of it? Anyway maybe this is more of a rant, but I also wonder what percent of people in your family are on some kind of psych meds.

un consensus se dégage pour dire que l'ia est l'incarnation du late stage capitalisme confit de certitudes molles et approximatives, l'empire du jetable, du good enough , de la médiocrité-mais-ça-ira-comme-ça-de-toute-façon-personne-ne-l-a-ecrit-personne-ne-le-lira
