Oh we also have that, my boss whose parents were immigrants hates immigrants.

I’m just as critical of Lemmy as I was of Reddit.
Lemmy is a very left leaning echo chamber and a lot of people dont want to hear counterpoints to their soap-box rantings.
I do love Lemmy, but theres a decent percentage of fucking whackadoodles on here too. Also I’m not installing Linux, stop asking.
For anyone who wants to watch a good movie and get some insight into your ego being your worst enemy should watch the Guy Ritchie movie “Revolver”. Its one of my favorites.
The one that fucks me off is when people are like “Sorry about that, us russians are hot blooded.” Or “I cant help myself around the ladies, its the latin blood” You’re both 3 generations deep, one of you is a sexist pig and the other is just an angry cunt.
Or people act like insert culture here has some mystical connection to food. You see it all the time on bullshit cooking shows “I’m blank so food is very important to me” or that because their great grandmother was Italian they have some innate gift for cooking pasta… like in the village of 200 families she was from there isnt a chance that your nonna was the worst cook in town.
Half Life 2. They gave it to me for free.
Finished it and got Necromunda: Hired Gun for $13.
One of the key overlooked benefits of UBI is that it also encourages people to retire, move out of the workforce or drop back to part time sooner. Freeing up jobs for people to move into.
Once the house is paid off and the kids have moved out, etc. The “I dont NEED to do this” is real.
I’m just saying… if being deported is on the table, fuck shit up and dip. I honestly believe that the best possible outcome for America is that shit gets so bad so fast that Trump cant keep up a damage control and spin campaign.
People are horrified at how bad things can get when his ideas blow up in his face, I’m worried about how bad things will get if they work.
Unironically I think this is what drives a decent portion of transphobia.
Im a straight dude and I think stockings, high heels, short skirts and boobs are just awesome but I’m also secure enough in my shit to say “That dude makes a pretty hot chick”. I also know that my wife doesnt dress like that because its a lot of work, she doesnt feel the need to. Its very much a “sometimes food” as cookie monster would say.
So when knuckle dragging guys who havent seen their wife out of sweatpants and flipflops in 3 months see a dude who put more effort into their appearance in 1 day and they want to fuck that… They get mad.
Im advocating for pushing the wealth from the top down. Make it financially non viable to own hundreds of houses, make it seriously sub optimal to own dozens over the long term.
A lot of new development is driven by investors, to build a new house you need to live somewhere while its built, and pay for the land and pay for the build in stages as it goes. That pretty much requires you to be able to cover two mortgages at once. Most investors I’ve met are buying off the plan when its a block of dirt or an unleveled paddock and consequently getting it CHEAP. They pay say $500k for a house that will sell for $800k when its finished because average working people cant cover the difference. But the house gets built and adds more supply to the system.
If you destroy property investing as a market, you will seriously hamstring new development and make the problem worse. You need to make owning thousands over the long term nonviable but make investing and adding to the supply be the money maker.
First 5 investment properties should carry a 1% property income tax that is directly funneled into a housing development program, then a 5% property income tax on the next 5, 10% on the next 10…
Realestate is the safest and highest yield investment working people can make to build generational wealth. Dont cut the throat of the guy who can afford a brand new Audi to spite the guy who has to decide between wether his driver fetches the Rolls or the Bentley.
People should be able to aspire to being rich, just not filthy rich.
Im building the Planet Express building from Futurama.
Because the majority of those people just voted for the guy who endorsed mass deportations. The alternative is to hide, pray they dont find you and take all your shit anywaysand send you out of the country with the shirt on your back.
The vast majority of Americans either endorsed or sat by while they gave away the “freedom” they have been shouting at the whole world about for the past 100 years. Whatever happened to “Give us your poor, your tired, your hungry” or “Land of the free, home of the brave” does “Land of the indentured and scared of brown people and queers.” not have the same ring to it?
And now, my news, my feeds, my socials are CONSTANTLY clogged with your shitshow and I hope Rome hurries up and fucking burns.
Wouldnt it be delicious if everyone illegal ran up as much debt of any kind as they could, stole from their employer, got a car from a buy-here-pay here place… whatever and then just departed the country with as much wealth as they could take.
There is a 0% chance that the Steam rating for this will be fair.
Come on, thats an unfair conparison.
President Camacho actually wanted to fix things.
Because Lemmy is a voluntary echo chamber.
Honestly the USA is going fucking insane and China is starting to look stable and rational by comparison.
China is like “yes, we are predictably slightly evil” America wakes up every day, takes a fistfull of Hunter S Thompsons briefcase, snorts it and then hucks a dart at a D&D alignment chart.
Australia is facist now?
Fuck guess I missed it, was outside all day too.
Im not a smart man, but I run a large complicated facility for a job.
When I have a safety issue, I call our safety expert. When I need to know about loading and unloading in the dock, I speak to the dock supervisor. When I have an admin issue, I speak to the admin lady… I do not like some of the people I have to rely on, but they are very VERY good at their jobs.
Even most of his supporters know Trump is a figurehead but they are seeing him surround himself with cronies and political appointments instead of qualified and intelligent people, even if those people would just find the “least bad” way to implement his moronic ideas.
Yeah because we get in there and GET THE JOB DONE. Women are just “yak yak yak” right guys?
Guys…?
guys…?
AW NO BILLY!?! WHYYYY BILLY WHYYYYY. WHY DIDNT YOU SAY SOMETHING THAT I COULD HEAR OVER THE CONSTANT NEED FOR US TO TALK ABLUT LITERALLY ANYTHING OTHER THAN OUR FEELINGS!?!
