Mildly off topic, I've always hated the "Lets use an actual resource as our currency in the post apocalypse" thing. I get that commodities have been used as currencies and that makes sense as a short term script, but for all the shit that caps gets thrown at it its objectively a better currency system as long as the ability to make more of them is restricted. Who thought "Hmm, I want to shoot that monster but I might want some soup later, how much bullet money should I spend on not getting my face eaten" was a good idea? On that topic; fuck you grim dawn you had the worst implementation possible because its simultaneously a representative currency and a commodity currency which combines the worst aspects of both because what do you mean I'm hoarding ten tons of iron while the zombies are literally breaking down the gates?

Money paid to insurance companies does not circulate through the rest of the economy in the same way that money paid to build cars or houses does. It does not create backwards linkages through industrial sectors. It quite literally sits in a billionaires Bahamian wealth hoard.

NEW: The cost of insurance has skyrocketed, making owning a home or a car far more expensive. Insurance companies claim higher prices are justified by higher risks, but we found they are keeping more of our premium dollars than ever. And last year, they made record profits.

Texas just made weed a felony after over 70% of voters voted to legalize it.That's what happens when incarceration rates go down and prisons start to lose money.

Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty today; one of the things he said was: “I emailed United Healthcare’s leadership, posing as an investor managing $58 billion. Unlike my other experiences with the company, I was contacted back within 1 hour.” Damn.

Stop mistaking an autistic person’s inability to hold down a job for laziness. Not every autistic person has the same capacity, and yes, even autistic people can internalize harmful stereotypes about their own community. Being autistic doesn’t make ableism acceptable.

DO YOU HEAR ME NOW? We are the amnesia generation. “PBS broadcaster loses access to 50TB of data comprising 70 years of TV history after contracted cloud storage vendor goes defunct — public TV channel sues Iron Mountain data center, which hosts archival materials, to ensure preservation” It is likely gone—forever. Physical media is the only way to preserve our history.

The white phosphorus used to burn children alive in the middle east was produced at Pine Bluff Arsenal in Arkansas, USA. It serves as the Northern Hemisphere's only white phosphorus filling facility.

Capitalism has normalized the idea that it’s okay for humans to lack basic shelter, food, or medicine if they don’t have money. That’s not natural human behavior, that’s learned greed sold as ‘personal responsibility.’ When did we accept this as moral?

desegregation is also not a very good example because it has never been implemented in the united states. america is still segregated, and desegregation is very unpopular; it’s just considered lower-class and ignorant to oppose it politically

Please stop talking. Desegregation was not popular. The level of historical revisionism here is absurd. And the idea that the left should only advocate policies that are already popular is such a red herring. If your politics are constrained by whatever happens to poll well at a

Yeah. I know AI users experience marked and measurable cognitive decline, but when I say "I don't use Gen AI" I mean I do. Not. Use. It. Not for fun. Not for curiosity. Not for inspiration. Not for conversation. I do not use it AT ALL.
