Maybe as a last resort. Not the defacto standard, every couple of months let’s hold the entire government hostage.

Hey let’s do some really evil shit and if you don’t agree, we’re gonna shut down the government and not pay anyone.

It shouldn’t have to be useful. This is just a sign of failed governance.

I believe the term for this is “political blackmail”.

Why it is accepted and legal, I don’t understand.

2. He’s convinced that an apocalyptic end to the USA as we know it is coming any day now.

Seems like he’s contributing to the cause of the apocalypse he is afraid of.

Spoiler: it’s not

They have been sold a lie that all the changes in their life have been the fault of immigrants, poor people, technology etc. The life they were promised doesn’t exist anymore and they fear change, and they are provided with a scapegoat be it immigration or so called liberals. It is easier to fear and hate something than to look at the truth. The wealthy and elite have been steadily taking more and more in their greed and lust for power.

President Lyndon B. Johnson once said:

"If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

This has just expanded a bit more to immigrants as well in recent decades.

You don’t. You can’t out-crazy them with logic. It’s a fruitless endeavor.

AI is just a digital dumbass that every tech bro decided needs to be part of every part of your life from now on.

No. Most people round to the nearest whole number and often just pick a direction to round.

Since no one does math in their head anymore the total is always more than they expected. No calculators on shopping carts anymore either.

Ha! That’s what they want.

Now add the sales tax. And don’t forget about bag fees and to tip Tippy.

People suck at math and this is how they confuse people into not caring what the actual price becomes when they have to add multiple items together.

What’s 19.99 + 21.75 + 4.99 + 3.99 + 1.99? Can the common person do that math in their head while grocery shopping? What about adding the tax to that total? Not a chance.

Most people probably don’t even know what the sales tax is in their own state.

Yup.

Recycling was the big lie the corporations forced down everyone’s throat. They shifted the blame from those who produce plastic products to those who consume them. They slowly replaced all packaging materials with plastic in the name of convenience and saving money and weight.

Later, when recycling was deemed not be effective enough and the corporations needing a new scapegoat, They rebranded and green washed everything. Now every corporation has a mission statement than includes their commitment to environmental responsibility. While in the background they’re selling their carbon credits and laughing at gullible people who believe the current bullshit they pass off as environmentalism.

Sadly, I haven’t read that one. I’ll add it to the reading list.

Go back to bed, America. Your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control again. Here. Here’s American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, America. Here is American Gladiators. Here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go, America! You are free to do what we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you! -Bill Hicks

Yea. Trump is an idiot.

Instructions unclear.

Seems we have chosen all of the above.
