I looking forward to Lady Liberty reenacting the strangling scene…

In the Trump economy, that $5,000 might just barely cover the cost of a month’s expenses.

It would be much better if we just put down the mad DOGE and took back the money stolen by the Trumpian mafia.

I sure hope that progressivism succeeds. If it doesn’t, America will either descend into being Nazi America or suffer a 2nd American Civil War.

I would prefer a better society emerging without bloodshed. War is a painful thing, full of hardship for just about everyone. I want to spend my time reading manga, and voting for Mamdani’s 2nd term as President.

Ah yes. My forced withdrawal of money from the corner store isn’t robbery. 🙄

Personally, I think that there should be a two-week voting windows, and workers should get five days of paid holidays that they can freely use within the voting period. The worker chooses when to use those days, and if they fail to vote, the company they are associated with is fined for a week’s worth of the employee’s income. The employee also isn’t paid for their holiday if they don’t vote.

This helps encourage both companies and workers to do their voting. On leap years, the employees should get an extra holiday. Coincidentally, presidential elections are held every four years.

As a citizen, I see this America as an enemy. I am now hoping for a 2nd American Civil War - to divide the good from the bad, and allow our respective cultures go our separate ways…or to crush the life out of the Dogey Confederate serpent. The midterms will decide whether there is peace or war among us.

Either way, I want to live in a good and intelligent society, not one steeped in moronic evil.

The events of the last decade has convinced me that there should be absolute limits on wealth. It creates dragons, whose drive demands to hoard yet more, no matter the cost to humanity.

I just KNOW that RFK Jr hungers for Jimothy…poor little fellow would be RFK’s white whale. 😥

“The remnants of our armies have finally caught Mr. Bezos and Elon, and they are here tonight to fight for their lives!..get ready to throw your shivs into the arena, elders and children! Our people died for this wonderful day to happen!”

…That is the GOOD ending to 2028. 🤨

In 2027, a roll of toilet paper is worth 100 cheeseburgers. Be sure to use your lucre to buy a bidet.

…actually, I should stockpile some TP. Canada ain’t gonna supply us anymore. Off to CostCo I go…

(Un?)fortunately for him, it was a corrupted coloring book. Maybe it awakened something within him?

Reject adulting, return to childhood.

The Crassus treatment, but with maple syrup.

You can use RUFUS to install Windows, and preemptively remove restrictions. MASGravel lets you activate Windows once you got an internet connection. ShutUp10 for configuring your privacy, and also for uninstalling AI stuff. I recommend the premium version if you want ShutUp10 to automatically revert Microsoft’s meddling after updates.

I recommend MASgravel’s Windows Enterprise 25h2 GAC .iso for your RUFUS, it has the right balance between debloat and still being usable by a typical person.

Always was…

Hopefully my personal router isn’t being used by the ISP for this sort of thing. Odds are, they probably just do it, because capitalism is sucktackular by default.

I think part of the solution is to give people free stuff - but make those items generic. People like having identity. So we give everyone access to a basic toothpaste, but they can choose to buy a luxury paste that is orange-flavored toothpaste. Same goes for clothing - a basic clothing set that can be obtained for free, but things like print patterns, graphics, and so forth, have to be bought.

In effect, people spend money to make their life more interesting. Generic food, universal services, and so forth are all boring, functional, and free.

My concepts are a bit more involved than what I described here, as there are multiple angles that can be applied towards preventing fiscal obesity and political corruption. For example, an absolutely fixed income for jobs might initially sound limiting for the rank and file, but capitalism uses “circumstance” to judge the worth of workers - which gives leaders an excuse to cut wages to the bone, or to fire people they dislike, or to give the executive class fancy compensation packages. We can create floors and ceilings to what a worker can have.

More approaches, such as requiring workers to periodically elect the leadership of their companies, would also help.

Thank you. This kind of information, while disappointing, is helpful, because architecture is inherently messy, expensive, and has to be thoughtfully planned.
