Saw a commercial on TV the last time I was home visiting family, and it was a guy at the grocery store looking at produce and picked up a pear and said 'wow, 4 dollars??' And then the next shot was him handing the cashier 2 pears and passing over a credit card, with the overlayed audio mentioning something about being in good hands with whatever credit card company it was. Bleak as fuck for sure. I can't believe someone greenlit that commercial, for what it says about the state of the country and how fucked people are they can't afford basic fucking food without putting it on credit. People can't afford food, and they're framing it as a positive.

There will be nothing new. Its just another distraction technique to keep people talking about things other than the awful things Trump is doing.

It bugs me when people cite the casino going bankrupt as an example of his idiocy, I'm sure it was an example of his malice.

I'm sure if you look Into that casino failing, he probably stole the funds. Why keep a business going making a few million a year and pay taxes on that, when you could take like 20 million right now, and not pay taxes on it.

I love how they screeched about deep state shit for years and now that we have a shadow government operating in plain sight, they're completely fine with it.

I know the usual thing in tech and hacker community is usually 'why not??' when people question why someone did a project, but this one has me scratching my head when Devilution-X exists. I'm really questioning why someone would go through the effort to finish this project.

him and his friends are buying the stock market dips, it has nothing to do with anything other then him and his friends making more money, and maaaybe crashing the economy for Putin. He couldn't care less if people buy local and large corporations feel pain. He's gonna hand them enough tax breaks anyway, they'll be fine.

Arrr matey. Its the breakdown of society 'if the people running society aren't following the rules, why should I?' especially a giant corporation, and especially a giant corporation that sides with Trump. So yes, pirate it. Fuck 'em.

Blaming Person B is a distraction to the fact that their simping for Person A. Now we're all arguing over Person B instead of Person A. Like I said, just loooove it.

I really love the playbook of Person A does something reprehensible, so of course Person B is to blame. Just looove it.
