I have a feeling a whole bunch of people are about to start caring, when they see normal things being used as excuses to arrest friends, family, colleagues.

Water supplies, child slavery

Lawsuit incoming.

I hope so.

iPhone is extremely overpriced and the workers who produce it aren’t compensated accordingly. I’m not going into why, because it would be extremely time consuming to find and properly document it, but I’m pretty sure we could boil it down to “Apple greed.”

Secondly, I believe most American consumers would prefer quality, as in “want it,” but the bulk of the companies offering it prefer artificial scarcity. It’s not that these companies couldn’t make a lucrative profit without artificial scarcity. It’s that they aim to “hook” as many people into continuously chasing it to keep wages low, and conformity/obedience high.

I was recently asked to chat on discord. Add this to a host of other reasons I declined.

The interviewer looks extremely unhealthy, undernourished and unrested. I wonder what’s going on with that.

Thank you for this thread. I’m a little misty-eyed and feeling so wonderfully blessed. Pumpkin Tikka masala and coffee for breakfast (I know, right?!), mixed greens, tomatoes, blueberries, strawberries, mozzarella with good balsamic vinegar for lunch, for the time in months, I made a half-gallon of iced tea, sweetened with local raw honey, fur baby sleeping next to me as I enjoy the sound of the storm, outside. So many have no meal, no roof, no companion. It’s nice reading the simple pleasures here. No one mentioned their private jet, Bugatti, haute coture. It’s nice when we recognize the real riches life grants us.

Thunder, lightening, the sound of rain on my window.

Looks far right and farther right, to me.

Socially left on some issues and economically right on all issues isn’t left.

Nia Frome, the author of “Marketing Socialism,” has another quick article called “Tankies” that would be perfect for you to read, IMO.

I appreciated this read, thanks.

I used to want a one world federation. Then G W. Bush happened and I saw potential problems with that. We never got a one world federation, and djt happened and I see the problems with this spreading, despite lacking a one world federation. I’m not sure what the answers are, but it is becoming saliently clear what they aren’t.

With the proliferation of former Israeli spies and solders into US big tech we are looking at the complete capture of the US national security state by pro-Israel voices.

Grapes are great!

I need to clean my glasses apparently.
