I don’t know who needs to hear this or comprehend it still, but most if not all billionaires don’t care if the economy crashes. They have so much money and power they can be safe as a bug in a rug. They can then take advantage of a collapsed economy and suffering society to force even more workers into defacto slavery.
In the future America is plummeting towards, even skilled workers live in indentured servitude in company towns, completely dependent on employers for healthcare and education. There are no effective worker rights, and most companies are owned by a few monopoly mega corporations.
@hacks4pancakes The world of Shadowrun or Cyberpunk is upon us. It is an unfortunate case but one that those of us who have played those games, should recognize all too well.
Brush up on your running skillz chummer.

I'm mid postdrome of asthma attack. You can't make me walk to the bathroom until it's that or piss myself rn.

There are people with significantly more restrictive disabilities (innate, acquired, situational, combo, and / or otherwise) who can't do more than"self-reliance".

You practice running if you can, sure. Good for multiple reasons (only uphill or flat, never downhill, for your joints!)

But I'm fucked by long covid because anti maskers are fucking stupid, deadly animals when they don't remember to care.
