Not speaking up or pushing against policies and such that target specific groups of people because that's the way we've always done it makes you a bastard still. We all know there's probably one or two good cops per department/precinct that truly wish and do help people when they can. But they're silenced for the sake of their job speaking out against the mistreatments and policies.

Studying all that is cheaper than therapy. Trust me, if I could afford the financial commitment I'd go again.

It's part of a larger issue of science and research being funded and backed by big companies that benefit from it not saying their product as bad. There are defunct research articles that state smoking is healthy for you from long ago. A lot of those researchers and doctors were later found to have gotten kick backs from companies that benefited from the positive research. This is just a modern example of money meddling in research for their benefit despite knowing the opposite.

True enough. It's your typical Democrat work, make a half measure that doesn't readily improve the situation but looks like it can.

I don't want any sort of device or appliance in my home that requires an internet connection that doesn't get a long time of security updates. My old printer died and they're so bad now I just don't have one. I'm going back to a dumb flip phone because this one's battery s dying. I use everything I can without spending money because I've never had a lot to spend to try and maintain my privacy. I keep spam email for the random site that wants you to enter one. The IoT is cancerous, it creates huge security holes because these appliance manufacturers don't care about security one iota. I have worked in IT for 15 years professionally with over that personal experience. I hate what the internet has become, I want something more akin to the 2000s back or at least the scrubbing of corporate mandates cut out. It's actually more dangerous to be on it because of advertisements. I would still have internet and gaming PCs regardless, but I want tech that's basic and functional.

You're expecting people who are worth a minimum of 7 figures to consider the plight of people who struggle to maintain 5 figures. Companies were already lowering time employees worked to begin with regardless.

They were keeping people below full time hours to begin with, it just got lowered to squeeze that extra penny from their buttholes.

Don't blame the ACA, those companies always had people working part time and just lowered the hours further.

Indeed. The only real difference is the smile on the face of the liberal as they step on your head as you're drowning.

I don't feel imposter syndrome as much. If anything has come out of this regime, if the most incompetent people you can think of gets to such positions of power and fuck up so horribly, you're fine in troubleshooting a printer.

And racism.

Got into an argument with a neo-liberal who was happy the rail strikes were over without much going to the workers. I asked them if they felt any worker solidarity and they said no outright. There's people who just don't care about you at all as long as they get theirs.
