I’m not so sure. If FDR had swept to power on the back of surging communist sentiment in America, this line of reasoning might make more sense. There was more communist sentiment in the 30s in America, it’s true, but it was never a mainstream facet of the Democratic party. Republicans thoroughly shat the bed in both…

forcing people to live the Broadacres dream Frank Lloyd Wright as implemented by weird bankers of who thought everyone should be atomized in isolated dwelling boxes accessible only by rolling isolation boxes by making anything else illegal to build and through trillions of dollars in government debt spending is…

Fun fact: I work in human service work, helping teach life skills and tackle harmful behaviors in people with disabilities. My field of work is one of the most dangerous there is, with the highest rates of on the job assaults and deaths at the hands of people we are serving. I have 88 hour work weeks AND I volunteer…

Brownie leader here. I actually really like this shift in the cookie program. In the olden days (waaaay back in the 80s) when I was a wee Girl Scout myself, Cookies were just “go out there and sell those cookies, girls, make that $$!” without any context or skills. The business badges and programs add a component of…

These are men who went into the most dangerous places on earth with a job to defend us and made tough calls on a moment’s notice

I grew up in Alabama and was sent to Christian schools for many years. We were taught how the p goes into the v and that you shouldn’t have sex until married or you’d go to hell. There was no education around contraceptives and women were/are shamed about their bodies and made to feel responsible for the sexual…

I wasn’t trying to say that the medical establishment in this country should be trusted without question or that they’ve never done anything wrong. More that just bc the establishment has fucked up ppl shouldn’t ignore science all together. There is junk science like the “Drs” on TV, who honestly I would consider more…

People keep telling me I write great satire, but nobody ever understands my extremist point of view.

I love this so much.

“Need some help?”

My semi-positive review of bhad bhagel is why I don’t have health care benefits.

Some employers pay extra premiums to be more attractive, though. Mine pays about 60% more than the legal minimum, most of it goes to my pension

It’s kind of hard to tell Cuomo and other New York “Democrats” from a libertarian sometimes. Particularly when education is concerned- he has been downright hostile to teachers and unions.

True, I think that is was kind of a ‘for the sake of film drama’ addition, no idea how Zuckerberg himself felt about it. There are plenty of things to criticise about the real Zuckerberg, but there isn’t really any reason to believe he fits that quote irl.

I’ll be here shutting the lights out once the corporate overlords shut it all down.

I’ve seen a lot of contrarian “this thing that is clearly and objectively terrible is Good, Actually” pieces on the internet, but I honestly (and perhaps naively) assumed no one would try to do that with Far Cry 5, which has an ending so bad even Mass Effect 3 seems spectacularly well done by comparison. It is — and I…

You no read to good. It say dat in second paragr-thingy under fact three.
