Ahh yes, efficiency to “improve the … stewardship of taxpayer dollars”. So instead of actually delivering better services, they can more efficiently deny those services. Sound familiar?

Stop glorifying terrorists. /s

You know what else is legal? Denying healthcare claims automatically. When the laws stop serving the people, don’t expect people to follow them out of the goodness of their hearts.

Best we can do is accountability, as in we have an accountant cut fatter checks to our corporate leaders.

This fucker is old enough to remember the good ole days of iron lungs.

Most people did not vote for this. He did not even get 50% of the popular vote. Let’s stop pretending the system doesn’t stack the odds against the people. If we did that we wouldn’t have been afraid to stack the courts, and so on.

I mean we should all be able to leave our desk to go pick up a prescription for ourselves or a family member. That’s the problem, not that parents are the only ones with the privilege.

The discrimination in regards to parents is real. In an interview I was asked if I would be able to keep up with a demanding schedule because I have kids. In my experience, women with children get the opposite end of that consideration than with men being considered bread winners. This is messed up any way you slice it.

Success is measured in how many billionaires it makes. I don’t see the USPS making any billionaires. /s

Are we pretending the Democrats are popular?

The insurance companies will have their own numbers like with the cybertruck. It will be interesting to see them weigh in.

When people say they want the government ran like a business, this is what comes to my mind.

I wonder if this guy is disliked by Americans as much they dislike that UHC CEO, or is it more?

When it comes to money they’re accountable and deserve millions.

When it comes to the impact of their leadership they couldn’t possibly be accountable.

People creating barbaric conditions are afraid of barbarians?

Isn’t that just what we say when we imprison people?

First all, glad your friend recognized this.

I found this article to be a prescient good grounding: https://wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-things-to-do-if-trump-wins/

I’m finding local communities to participate in (potlucks, picnics, movie night, anything that doesn’t spend more money). Sending holiday cards to my neighbors, anything to connect and integrate because what comes next will test all our bonds.

They’re onto killing a bigger fish: The National Labor Review Board.

Controlling the media narrative. Or at least that’s my fear. Just finished watching “Interior Chinatown” and surprisingly relevant commentary on the “media spectacle”. It expects violence but it won’t just let you tell your story.

Totally normal things a centrist says.

Here you are saying the actions of people don’t have meaning. You feel smug because you proved yourself right. Seems the only power you have here is convincing others they are as powerless as you.
