I remember the collective shitfit around a decade ago when Obama give out free cell phones to homeless people. It was such a crazy concept to people who have never struggled that yes, you DO need a smartphone to meet your calling, banking and personal management needs. Everything has an online portal. Every job application requires an online portion. It's how the world works and has worked since the mid 00s.

Corporations are not people, fuck them up.

When "it's just a prank bro" goes too far. Imagine having consequences to your actions.

Also a victim of religiously motivated terrorism.

Imagine growing up in the wealthiest nation on earth, only to die giving birth. That's a real hazard which American women have to consider.

Smells like desperation.

I immediately assume that once someone brings up Joe Rogan they are easily susceptible to authoritarian propaganda and should be avoided.

Rogan brings on guests who argue in bad faith for topics which they are unqualified to comment upon. They provide no evidence and Joe immediately agrees with whatever random bullshit they spew out. Doing this creates the image of credibility (big podcast man agreed with psycho, maybe I should agree with psycho), and since perception is reality that image has value.

Please get some legal advice, this is so fucked up.

So far the only comments are from dumbfucks.

The workplace is not a democracy, and you have no inherent right to place others in danger.

Mask up buttercup, it literally does not hurt anyone and saves lives.

Not a glitch. Costs less to dump the data than maintain it, plus a lot of cringey Musk tweets were in there.

This is partly why big business and the rich classes are vehemently opposed to residuals, income guarantees and universal basic income. It weakens their leverage.

As someone with enough passive income to pay their bills, for whom working is to gain expendable cash, I can tell you it is empowering to have that security and independence. The knowledge that my employer can do nothing to threaten my livelihood.

Imagine not wanting free and fair elections because your ideology has been soundly rejected by the silent majority.
