True. Even the Nordic Model nations are backsliding from what I hear. It is why I think that we need to try an wholly artificial economic system, with rules and principles. Similar to a Constitution's framework, but focused on providing for the wellbeing of all citizens.
I would prefer to work a job than to grind in a videogame. Unfortunately, Americans live in a nation where bad working conditions, low pay, heavy competition, instability, and ghost jobs makes job seeking unpalatable.
American capitalism is a cancer.
AOC should team up with Blue State governors to campaign solely in their states, with their protection. Trump WILL try to dispose of her, it is only a matter of time. Having a state's National Guard to protect her from Dogey goons will be key to allowing AOC to continue working against the regime.
I am hoping that it is one of the factors that leads to the Trump Reich being obliterated. The good guys actually tries to make sure their society works.
It is time to open up the bullet box. The conservatives are going to attempt imprisoning or killing any North American who doesn't bend the knee.
The sooner Blue States leave the Conservative Centipede, the better. I don't view conservatives to be fellow Americans anymore.
I have always assumed that I wouldn't be wanted. Helping build stuff looks neat, but I am getting old, raised in the boondocks, only have a high school degree, and am autistic. It is my guess that no one would want the likes of me, because there are many other people who are more capable and desperate.
Yeah, honestly I used to view the likes of Putin as a rational chessmaster. Life is teaching me a great deal, especially that leaders are not powered by raw intellect. Rather, it is the willingness to be assertive that separates the ordinary person from a leader, be they good or foul.
Why not both? More often than not, evil favors bold stupidity over cautious thinking.
Odds are, you will sound like a British loyalist a century from now, who thought things would never change in their British colony. We live in a "fantasy world", where a mad king is sending the innocent to die in El Salvador without reason nor justice.
The only question is at what point people discard the things that they lived by. Common sense, the rules, whom they believed in, and more.
That changes when militias are formed. Mutual aid is about people supporting each other - be it in the courtroom, battlefield, kitchen, or classroom. Neighborhoods filled with ICE Breakers, would mean that this lady and others wouldn't need more than two guards. An potential victim can call for help, while the guards delay ICE. Just set up checkpoints that inspect suspicious vehicles.
Seriously. This is a civil war brewing, and ordinary people can become a state unto themselves if they are willing to create their own laws. Trump doesn't believe in any law but that which emanates from his asshole, so why should anyone obey?
People who want to form Rainbow Panthers, especially persecuted minorities. They just need food on the table, munitions, and some sort of goal. Breaking ICE who assault schoolchildren and other innocents would certainly be a goal.
Also, the lady is an attorney. She probably has some savings, connections, and a willingness to go pro bono for people who need an public defender against the Trump Regime. The real roadblock is for people to accept that the 'norms' are dead, and to act accordingly. Considering we have a rapist of a president who intends to butcher Americans, I don't think militias against ICE are a stretch.
She should hire (trustworthy) security guards willing to kill. Doge Boys will be coming for her, simply because Trump's deranged word is law.
Musk can be put in a Starship and sent on a collision course with that Tesla he launched. Clarance gets drawn & quartered by his motor coaches. Trump is given a hamburger that is extra greasy and purposely designed to cause medical complications. DeSantis can be put into a Florida Disneyland teacup ride, but set to the highest setting for a dozen hours straight. RFK is left in a vat of leeches.
I hope the justice enacts contempt of court, and deputizes people to make the arrests. Preferably, minorities who have a stake in seeing justice done.
Trump thinks factories are magic. They aren't things you can just conjure out of the ether by sacrificing a pile of cash - it takes hard work, thinking, and negotiation.
Things that Trump is incapable of.
I hope to someday have a Coupon AI. It creates throwaway accounts and tracks the pricing of stuff that I actually like. In my case, 2-liter diet soda. Those things can cost $1-4 dollars depending on circumstances. Buying 36 bottles for more than $2 would be a ripoff.
A KFC feast used to be cheaper back when I got coupons. Now I have to sign up if I want to afford delicious birds and biscuits. I want to be free from being harvested and spammed. I just want to spend my money in a way that doesn't ruin me. 😥
