Yea but it’s not like we don’t have the technology and skill to be able to keep the plane from moving at all. This story should be “airports so busy that there are constant conflicts with schedules” not “these planes nearly obliterated each other.”

It’s a good thing that we have fail-safes but this was too close. Aviation standards need to be airtight.

Fuck, at least Hitler’s war caused much of the world to industrialize. If I got to go back and kill any one person it would be Reagan, I think. By the numbers I’m positive Reagan’s policies have allowed more people to die and they’ve definitely turned “living” into “surviving” for people so…yea fuck that guy. What a horrible person.

Ronald Reagan: Worse than Hitler.

…your point?

That’s great, dude. Why you gotta be such a spiteful little bitch towards everyone else? The information on why not everyone has those opportunities is out there so really you’re either trying to defend a corporation’s right to fuck ocer employees or you’re genuinely so stupid and emotionless as to not understand how any of this works or care to learn at all.

And oh wow, a whole house, eh? Sounds kinda greedy. What’s next, a mansion? Four cars? Seriously, some self-awareness would god a long fuckin’ way here, dude.

Jesus Christ, dude, it’s basic decency.

We are earning it. This generation is the most productive one ever and yet all the value we create is being increasingly funnelled to executives who do next to nothing.

Wages are stagnant as hell and rent and shit is going up by astronomical amounts even for units that haven’t really changed operating costs in years just because.

Quit sucking boot and stand up for yourself, damn. The rich aren’t going to reward you for this.

Congrats for you. Here’s the thing, the reason we can’t all have enough to be comfortable isn’t because life is hard, it’s because the resources are kept from us by thieves we hilariously call “elites”.

I’m sorry that I want a better life than scraping by. I’m sorry I don’t love the taste of boot the same way you do. I’m not asking for a mansion you fucking donut. I didn’t ask for servants or yachts or any of that shit. I’m asking for literally one more room and for good reasons which I have already outlined. If you can’t win the argument without completely making shit up then accept the loss and back down.

Well that’s fucked up. Jesus.

Maybe for some fucking dignity? Maybe because people deserve some life alongside their survival?

A working person who’s in their career should be able to afford more than a one bedroom apartment. That second room could be for hobbies, a work-from-home office, a guest bedroom, a library, whatever. And that’s just in an ideal situation but what if they’re a single parent(could be for any reason including something completely unavoidable like their spouse passing away for some reason) who needs a room for their child? And while I’m on about it, those people are a couple who would share a bedroom so then what? Pretty much every single person needs personal space away from their partner from time to time and the shared bedroom ain’t it.

Rich people don’t need boats or luxury vehicles yet they always seem to find excuses for that but having a 2bd apartment is considered irresponsible spending and that’s horseshit. It’s not the employee’s job to debase themselves in every aspect of their lives so someone who clearly can’t manage a business effectively can pretend they have any skill in doing so.

Worse, actually. My net at $58,000CAD got me $3,600/mo. If I wanted a simple 2bd today it would be now two thirds of my take-home. The friend who rents my guest bedroom has become my roommate over the last few months as they’ve been unable to find a place that’s even vaguely reasonable.

Relying on a hope that someone will do good is, and always has been, a terrible idea. We need to fix that shit at its core.

If my cat could crawl into his auto-feeder he would live inside it. That thing looks like there’s some sorta way in and I’ll bet all my bones that the cat had plenty of will.

The hospital reduced the payment after learning he was uninsured? Is that like how itemized receipts make it cheaper because it’s all designed to shaft insurance companies who then just shaft their clients to not lose any money?

Also fuck the people who actually enforced that rule on the boat and anyone who would threaten their jobs if they didn’t.

Just another reason to avoid cruises, I guess.
