  • Kamala is absolutely not fine. She ate absolute shit in the 2020 primaries because ahe is the quintessential policy wonk that is completly divorced from working class struggles. Her big sales pitch in 2020 was student debt relief for anyone who ran a business for 6 years in a low income neighborhood. This was the inevitable outcome when Biden chose her as a running mate back in 2020.

    As much as the Democrats want to pretend they are pro-wprking people, they aren’t. They will continue to eat shit in elections until they start offering actual policies that benefit actual working people, not business owners and the management classes.







  • Huffman has been a frequent attendee at Burning Man, the annual, clothing-optional festival in the Nevada desert, where artists mingle with moguls. He fell in love with one of its core principles, “radical self-reliance,” which he takes to mean “happy to help others, but not wanting to require others.” (Among survivalists, or “preppers,” as some call themselves, FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, stands for “Foolishly Expecting Meaningful Aid.”) Huffman has calculated that, in the event of a disaster, he would seek out some form of community: “Being around other people is a good thing. I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.”

    Spez pretty openly fantasizes about owwning slaves




  • I get that, and i also understand that English shifted it’s vowels compared to similar languages. But aside from French, my American brain can kinda figure out how to pronounce Germanic and Romance languages, whereas languages such as Welsh and Polish seems to have applied completely different rules to the Latin alphabet than everyone else.







  • Americans essentially pay for our insurance 4 times.

    we pay more tax dollars per patient than ay other country

    We pay hundreds per person per month in insurance premiums

    We pay all healthcare expenses until we hit our annual deductible

    We they pay a co-pay percentage after all treatment beyond the deductible.

    Everyone knows it’s a broken system, but people are adamant that anything else would be communism or would make you lose an election.


  • Idk, i am torn on this. Obviously people have had depression with suicidal tendencies since the dawn of humanity, but i feel like most modern suicides come from the failings of oir current systems. I am Zoraya’s age and have struggled with depression and finding a reason to live for well over a decade. Euthanisia should be available to anyone with a terminal condition, but she still has her whole lofe ahead of her. It saddens me that the state has decided it is better to let her have a painless suicide rather than address the issues that make her life no longer worth living. To me there is no excuse for otherwise healthy adults in the prime of their lives to feel hopeless, but that is the society we have collectively decided we want to live in.

    I’m glad she will be able to die on her own terms, but there is no excuse for this to be her only option. Our society has failed Zoraya and countless people like her.

    I have no doubts about her sincerity to die. I just think that a better society would have been able to find her a reason to live. She is absolutely in the right here, and has done nothing wrong. It’s her government which has failed her.
