    Ya that’s fair,.crazy low sums people will do corrupt stuff for. If you’re going to be corrupt… At least get paid substantially for it. All this nonsense for stuff below like 200k is astonishing. I do hope Trump prosecutes the Democrats for that. At least some US federal politicians will see jail time 🤣 if the Trump admin doesn’t actually go after some of them well…

    They are just supposed to be controlled opposition, sending the higher ups to prison might lead to an actual workers party. Which as we know based off the decades of stories of “trump stiffs contractors because he can” is questionable as an outcome Trump particularly cares for, his donors definitely wouldn’t be fans.

    They can go that route. I don’t think the business leaders and federal politicians of the world realize how fragile their lives are. How easy it is to 3d print guns and have your tracks covered with enough planning. Personally, I highly doubt Luigi was the one that killed that CEO considering his ties to Pelosi. That is a very, very repeatable event. At scale. Especially if co-ordinated to split glowy resources.

    Maybe you should care about kids in Africa/South america/Asia and their quality of life. Even as an american reading that it really comes off so tone deaf. You’re complaining about your kids dealing with shit? Wow. You know what they’ve been dealing with in Türkiye? Price of a candy bar going up 50% in a few months. For YEARS with EVERYTHING. Get over yourself. Do you think your kids are going to starve? Go to a foodbank lol

    Long term the American empire getting knocked down a peg so they’re not the only game in town is going to be a good thing for the world. We just get to deal with people’s quality of lives going down when they’ve been filled with plastic and lead… We all saw people fighting over toilet paper in America during covid. Frankly it’s karma for us purposefully knee capping a lot of the rest of the world. Ala our policy of keeping the middle east destabilized, crushing South American socialists, etc.

    Which btw, considering lead poisoning was so widespread because of our mass use of vehicles, kinda had it coming. Glad I don’t have kids :D have fun with the voucher system, your kids are going to be fuckwits if stability and long term collapse is better to you than short term collapse and maybe picking up the pieces.

    You assume I don’t know how the world works… lololol lololol. This fear and anxiety you feel towards change you should channel towards…

    Organizing :O wild concept. You know how we get a party that’s not dem or repub? By shit hitting the fucking fan. Or you don’t want to take that risk because of your crotch goblins? :| ok boomer. At this point whatever happens is what the tech oligarchs say happens, because they control the flow of information. But yeah sorry not sorry, I have far less sympathy for American kids than kids in poorer countries. And China DOES have the whole “lifting the most people out of poverty in the last 30 years by a huge margin” track record.
