Neolibs: capitalists are great they create jobs

Capitalists: actually no we’re explicitly doing evil and destroying jobs to stay rich

“Cancel culture” is just what conservatives call “the free market” when it does something they don’t like.

@alexcox I like libraries, what can I say? 🤷‍♀️
Citing someone's "philanthropy" as a mitigating factor when they've committed horrible crimes is just another way of saying the law doesn't apply to rich people

I like this quote:

“The problem is that electric cars are popular with politicians precisely because they provide an excuse to avoid doing harder things, like rebuilding our cities, or changing the habits of lifetimes. Persuading people to switch from their old gasoline car to a shiny Tesla is much easier than persuading them that they can live without a car. Hence governments are pushing electric cars, often with incentives that make no sense.” - Daniel Knowles, author of Carmageddon

@gruber ah yes, damn those EU lawmakers for… *checks notes* …creating laws around privacy. How dare they 🙄 Next you'll tell us they trying to protect human rights or something, the fools!

This is REALLY important.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Let that sink in. It costs less than accepting homelessness.
