Well not a tiny bit. Increase taxes in the 0.1% a whole fuckload. I’d increase taxes on billionaires to 90% and start freezing assets of anyone who tries to go overseas to avoid them. levy the world’s strongest ever economic and geopolitical sanctions against countries that harbor billionaire american tax evasion expats or something.

Twist: monster is good boi and telling the truth that he’s tired. He sick of sleeping alone in woods, and jus wants a night on the comfy couch
Poor sadboi go back to his lonely, dirty cave, fall sleep crying, wake up with back pain :(
I’m just talking about what I have seen personally.. the only argument I made is FOR wfh or did you not read that part
These companies are paying (now even more) out the ass for leases and property maintenance. It also harms adjacent businesses (like restaurants) placed specifically in complexes with other businesses. I’ve seen it in person, a mom and pop dumpling restaurant was booming pre-pandemic and now only does sustainable levels of revenue on the days that the nextdoor offices require people to come in.
On a micro/personal level I love wfh. If everyone was 80-100% wfh that might solve the insane housing cost crisis we’re in. Buy a home in montana and work for a company in northern virginia for example.
On a macro level I can see the concerns. WFH is the future but these businesses needed a period of time to phase into it. This particular economic climate is NOT conducive to a harmless transition in many cases.
The immigrant crisis around the globe is also at a tipping point. Climate change and corporate greed have fucked many places in the world out of habitability.
Immigrants aren’t going to stop coming because the alternative is a slow and miserable death or the threat of cartel governments. Now western countries don’t want to take care of them and don’t want to deal with them at all, because immigrants demand resources and we need all that money to hide in congress’ ratholes.
Well if we hadn’t fucking destroyed the planet in the blink of an eye maybe they wouldn’t all need to come to europe. If we hadn’t waged this stupid fucking war on drugs then maybe south/central americans wouldn’t need to flee cartel zones for fear of their entire village being beheaded and dumped in a pit.
America and Europe are only beginning to reap what we’ve sown over the last 50 years and we already want to throw in the towel.
Shit is going to get far worse, everywhere, imminently.
We’re careening towards the tipping point where the commute to my area to work will make it not worth it.
Jobs around here pay $16-18/hr and I have a couple coworkers who drive 1hr20m each way for that $16
Meanwhile rent anywhere near here is $1600/mo
It’s already almost unjustifiable for people to commute to this area to work, and you can’t live around here on the wages these places offer, so everyone is desperately hiring.
These retail companies are going to fold like a house of fucking cards. And honestly they fucking deserve it. These big chains enjoyed decades of insane profits without raising wages at all, now they have to raise wages for people to even exist and they’re still raising prices on goods to offset their new wage expenditures.
God forbid these corporate subhumans sacrifice 1% of their profits each year so that the entire economy doesn’t collapse.
“Eat the rich” is honestly where we’re headed. And I don’t mean literally eat I mean TAKE THEIR WEALTH.
Until billionaires are made illegal, and “real estate investment” (i.e. predatory price gouging on homes/apartments) is made illegal, everything is gonna continue getting more fucked. It’s too little too late though, greed has destroyed our planet. We’ve got front row seats to the downturn of human civilization.
I’m stocking up on canned food, and I’ve never been the doomsday prepper type. Honestly I think we’re about to enter a protracted global depression that makes ‘08 look like a speedbump.
I remember when Bush was president and I thought “wow it can’t get much dumber/worse than this” — and now every single day i’m confronted with this absurdity.
I’m scared to even say it out loud this time around, knowing now what “republicans” are really capable of.
Trump couldn’t pass a 4th grade SOL
His rise to presidency highlights failures at every level of our system. He’s always been a crook and a liar and a fraud, but you appeal to the dumbest base and hold up a bible upside down and they can overlook all that.
Swap coffee and energy drinks. Energy drinks are def the most braindead of the bunch—I know, I used to buy them.
Also where is the “100mg adderall” option?
Can you imagine if dicks farted like that when cum was coming out?
I’m actually laughing out loud picturing this and i’m not gonna explain why to my coworkers
No it’s definitely about the flashlight more than the batteries. Most flashlights just have one connection/channel from battery power to bulb, and if this single circuit fails at any point then the flashlight is useless. This flashlight has four separate ones due to the layout of the batteries, and they each operate individually, so if one fails anywhere you still have 3 that function just fine.
