Human beings are, for the most part, path-of-least-resistance creatures. This was inevitable. It's like building long straight stroads with few intersections and a school with a lonely crosswalk then wondering why speeders keep hitting children.

Bad design gets bad outcomes.

Growers, insurers, eaters...

I've tried to leave a trail of breadcrumbs, and I got called "paranoid" for years by family and the kids picked that up from them too. Now every time anyone points out the superdepressing news and where it looks like were heading I just say "don't be paranoid." and give my best derp look.

I'm still waiting for my apology, but nobody likes to hear "I told you so". At least no one calls me paranoid anymore, so there is that.

Cancer treatment is affordable everywhere but the US, so maybe a blessing in disguise?

Publishing is a racket. This should have been done decades ago.

I'd ague that captured opposition means the real fight starts within the DNC because its a big tent party and one of the biggest factions are Republican appeasers.

Its up to Dems to decide if they need to reform the party or make a new one, but the idea that voting blue will bring the change you want. It won't. The real fight starts with party governance and candidate selection.

My kids love the original Tom and Jerry and watched it on you tube. Then they watched the modern remake and they hated it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I respectfully disagree. They were built for power and control from the start. Monestisation just paid for it and helped adoption.

Dead people also have no claim on the present or future. You can own more, even when the pie is shrinking if you negate others claims.

There seems to be a lot of deflection around elites not being evil. I have many other terms, but evil is at the top of the list. So much is done just to hurt others. Send a message.

"How we could" is maybe not as important as "Should we?" and "Do we want to?"
