Deadliest catch story lines are drying up. Gotta have Harris call in an airstrike on an illegal Chinese trawler.

In variable environments, stratified societies spread more and are also better able to survive resource shortages by sequestering mortality in the lower classes

Something something "essential workers".

That is correct. Theres some backwards incentives and basically none for providing OBGYN care.

I was going to say the same. Funny it gets written off today as a hoax when tons of people had to fix slews of bugs. It could've been bad, but fortunately the worst I heard about was some people getting stuck in some elevators.

Agreed, this is a maximalist take on the idea, but the technofeudalism or neofeudalism is a parallel but district criticism of the same behavior. Feudalism seems to imply that its stable though and enshittification implicitly says that its not.

Bold assumption that this child isn't being home"schooled".

the alliance between religious groups and crime syndicates is something we will probably see more of in the future.

The model seems very exportable and that's the most concerning part. Both groups prey on the vulnerable and the ability to launder money through religious organizations seems like a combination that won't be overlooked for long.

Its a good reminder that one must actively shape the future lest some meth fueled fanatics do it themselves.

The investigation, published in a multi-part series in 2022, revealed for the first time how former Gov. Phil Bryant used his office to steer the spending of millions of federal welfare dollars — money intended to help the state’s poorest residents — to benefit his family and friends, including NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre

The journalist who reports on corruption will be in jail and not those who actually did it.

Still going to vote for whoever is the dem candidate, but the post debate polling is indicating that they would be wise to pick literally anyone else.

How about we get someone who can win in a swing state so we can avoid Trump? Because right now from the polling it looks like Biden can't.
