I think the rich need a reminder...

Yeah this is the case for any revolution. I've been reading "The Constitution and other writings of the founding fathers" and it's interesting to see all the rhetoric and mental preparation they took before firing even the first shot. The tension was palpable and the colonists were already resolved to fight a war they knew would not end quickly. Most notably over things we just bend over and take nowadays.

The average citizen today does not have the same sense of responsibility and duty to preserving freedom and democracy like they did back then. Sometimes I wonder if people in the west are too soft in resolve and dedication to really revolt in any meaningful capacity, beyond a few days of protesting. No matter what the issue/ideology at hand is.

I think US conservatives have a lot of ideological agreements with Russian society. Their views on women, traditional values, etc. Russia is even building a little village to invite US conservatives to move there. I think it's a recent post 2000~ phenomenon that they are aligning ideologically on the culture war stuff. So US conservatives don't see why they should attack and destroy a nation they see defending their values, like pro-religion and anti-lgbt views, and since Russia isn't "communist" anymore, they don't see many reasons to not like them now.

Ordered 20+ groceries from Amazon on Prime Day. Today my order arrived with each item packaged separately.

It honestly depends on your local municipality. Where I live they don't take anything but straight up hard plastic that is cleaned, and clean cardboard, cleaned tin cans. Anything else they don't process. And even then they're probably throwing out the whole truck of recyclables cause one dingus didn't clean out a can and it got tomato soup on everything else. Recycling is honestly a scam in America, especially once China stopped buying our waste years ago.

Among Truck drivers, Rams are usually the objectively worst vehicle for doing trucking activities on a per yearly model basis. So it kinda makes sense the dumbest people with trucks aren't the ones who know anything about truck capabilities either.
