Classic Conservative. All feelings of empathy begin and end at himself.

Capitalists: design society to be exceedingly hostile towards raising kids

Also Capitalists: "How come nobody wants to birth new workers for me anymore? 😰"

Insurance rates are the true Canary of Collapse. If the money men have calculated that certain areas are going to quickly become unlivable, then people should listen.

Of course it's not trivial to just pack up your life and move but it's about to become super necessary, unfortunately.

Plot twist: the liquid inside the ball is nitroglycerin.

Future generations will refer to this period in time as another Dark Age because companies gleefully destroy information the moment it becomes unprofitable. Erasing history forever.

For a fun prank, pour out a small drop of Nitroglycerin and smack it with a hammer to scare your friends. :^)

This is nothing new from Tesla. My parents have a Model 3 and they can't use a car wash at all with it. Hand wash only.

Extremely common Minnesota W. I love my state.

Furthermore, government should be centered around protecting all its citizens, not just the richest.

Damn, can't believe I forgot that one

Whenever I see these I make a comment on how these are spread by evil hacker men so that tech illiterate rubes self-identity.

I don't know if that's actually true but it sure got the boomers on my feed to stop posting this bullshit for a while.

I'll only accept this if they march them across the Alps and sack Rome like they should have done the first time. 😤
