Piggy Does Pittsburgh

The entire system is designed to make the second part of that statement uniquely difficult.

Billionaires don’t stay billionaires by letting other people join their club.

“In exchange for making me rich, I grant you the privilege of having enough money to pay your bills and maybe go to disneyland once in a while.”

That’s not a return on your effort for your own benefit; it’s quite literally serfdom with extra steps. “You harvest me 1,000 acres and I’ll let you keep two acres to take care of your family.”

Because “Work” is just effort for some stranger’s benefit; a CEO or Corporation. Whereas the result of effort enriches you and/or the people you love.

If that’s the tack he wants to take with his argument, than in fact that opposite is true.

They’re a business. You provide them money and they provide a service. So in that respect, there should be no such thing as denial of service for ANYTHING because you’ve already paid for it.

I would ask him who he is. Then when he gets upset that I don’t recognize him and he gives me his name I say “hmmm, never heard of you.”

Watch is ego implode.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought I read that their factory is actually built in occupied territory.

It’s the reason I’ve always refused to but one.

“Compromises the innocence of children”???

Unless you are incredibly liberal parents, children don’t even know what the fuck those are until they’re old enough to recognize it as anything more than just a “tube”. By the time they grasp the idea that it’s something sexual, they’re old enough to handle that knowledge.

“smaller government” apparently just means few dildos for the inspector to have to count.

Funny? No.

A good start? You betcha.

It’s already been mentioned, but I’ll throw in for Jitsi. I believe it can also be self-hosted.

Lucid Reading?

Even the stupidest person on earth gets one right every once in a while.

Congratulations America. You put the reins of power in the hands of toddlers coming up with cool names for made up comic book superheroes.

Jeez…assuming this is a true story and not embellished…

Early 90’s. Latchkey kid. Come home from school to our Acreage out of town. Get on bike and ride to the nearest corner-store, which was a highway rest-stop a couple of kilometres away. I’d have to (SHOCK) cross the highway AND a railroad track of all things to get there!

My god why weren’t my parents imprisoned!!!

Do I need to add the /s tag, or is it clear enough?

Somewhere in the long line of military people and internal operatives who condemned him, someone…somewhere, will take the first opportunity to Kennedy his orange ass.

There’s no way a man this hated, in a country as divided as the US, lasts a full four years.

So what you’re saying is that scientist’s laziness on the development of flying cars is what is going to lead to the downfall of man.

I always knew it…

I literally couldn’t tell. Which is why I just Homered back into the bush rather than attempting to even reply. If it’s satire, it’s master class.

How have we arrived in a world where a grandpa can’t tell a corny grandpa joke anymore.

Next you’re going to term me that pretending to take your kids nose is akin to threatening torture under the Geneva convention…

“Here’s literally all the things… You sort it out, if you want. If not…whatever.”

Reagan and “trickle down economics” ushered in the 80s and poured gasoline onto Wall Street, empowering a thousand Gordon Geckos to abandon the middle class workers in the name of greater profit.
