Black Rock basically owns the entire stock market. Even the best intentioned companies eventually have to cave to fiduciary duty to shareholders.

Mr hawk I got your stamps!

Lol, you entirely misunderstand the issue.

Americans lack the skills and machining of modern manufacturing. It’s so expensive because they’d have to make buildings and teach skills that are already everywhere in China.

But sure, laugh like a fucking moron we’re taking behind the world because we don’t take care of workers or infrastructure.

There’s no way my balls aren’t hanging out.

Everything about Christianity is basically backwards from what Jesus actually fucking said.

No idolatry is the first commandment for a reason. People that worship the idol of the cross have already failed to learn what the religion was to teach.

Basically, look at Republicans. They absolutely worship the flag yet at the same time defile everything the country stands for.

Yes, no, kinda, maybe.

The system is so bloated, corrupt, and convoluted there is no fixing it.

The bad actors are so many, so uniform, and so powerful there is no removing them.

The masses are so poor, tired, fractured, and ignorant, there’s no uniting them.

We’re looking at a likely push for a Trump dynasty. Even if the Democrats win, they’re really just controlled opposition to maintain the status quo and repiss off the red base by existing.

Say the impossible happens and all the bad guys die, there’s revolution that sees through the theatre of duopoly… Then what?

30% of the country eagerly embraced a convicted rapist after he spent decades being a piece of shit. 30% prefer Democrats making things worse slightly slower.

Everyone else checked out because they either know too little or too much about politics.

At the end of the day the problem is that nothing matters and it’s all just screaming into the void.

We could be 100% agreement on every detail and we’d just need 350 million other people to sign on to change a system they know is broken but don’t understand well enough to fix while very rich, very crazy people spend great deals of money to basically cause problems everywhere they can do they can sell a monthly treatment but never a fix because cruelty is basically always the point.

This country isn’t worth fighting for. Shit pops off and I’m stamping my own card because I’ve suffered you assholes long enough.

The greatest illusion of humanity is that reason is a default state.

We are hormonal meat beasts that require decades to tame to any productive end and event still we are all literally one phone call away from losing our shit completely.

My entire school life there was so much pontification over what “you” would do during segregation or the Holocaust or slavery?

Turns out my entire family would grow a toothbrush moustaches and start painting vegan landscapes while I kept working because the cost of living rises more than wages and I long for the reprieve of death.
