Meanwhile, Elon steals billions of dollars through problematic subsidies.

This country has more than enough money to take care of the elderly, the disabled, the veterans, the poor.

The problem is the fucking billionaires and their insatiable greed.

Ok, let's say someone does walk up to me wearing overalls and a flannel shirt with a huge scraggly beard and says they identify as a woman.

How exactly does that impact any of us negatively?

Cut the cables.

Sabotage their efforts.

Why can't people call themselves whatever gender they identify as?

Explain to me what the problem with that is.

Every effort matters, no matter how small.

Is there a neglected sidewalk island near your home? Plant rosemary and thyme plants.

Is there any water near your home? If not, find a shallow bowl at Goodwill, put some stones in it, and start a watering hole for insects, birds, and critters.

Volunteer to help plant trees and remove invasive species, pick up garbage from streams, maintain trails and green areas

These are all things we can do today or in small increments as time allows.

This is the Republican modus operandi:

"This is the fantasy we want to believe. And if the facts do not support our fantasy, we will accuse you of lying to us and call for your death."

"Respect is earned" is the most boomer take ever.

No.

Respecting others is the default. Respecting others is the bare minimum expected from you.

Start by acknowledging that.

The important thing is that they grow into an emotionally intelligent adult, because it will allow them to better understand and protect themselves, as well as others around them.

Society is changing to a better direction when you raise gentle children like you are, even if sometimes it doesn't feel that way.

I do not need you to respect my opinions.

I need you to respect our fellow citizens by not making deriding comments for them to leave like you did.

We'd prefer you would leave, since you're part of the problem with our country.

1. Boycott and talk to others around you as to why you are boycotting.
2. Create fake amazing resumes, apply for high-level jobs at Starbucks, Amazon, etc.
3. Waste their time with interviews, then bail out. Tell them you changed your mind because they have a toxic reputation.
4. If you already work for one of these corporations, sabotage their operations. There's manuals out there on how to conduct sabotage, but it can be as simple as relaying the wrong day or time for meetings to waste everyone's time, or finding things that are not exactly according to policy and making a big deal about the importance of following policy to the letter, etc.

I'm so sorry. I hate playing therapist at work.

I feel like they just weren't prepared to answer my question, so they just said whatever came to mind.

This person is not stupid-- rather, always a huge hypocrite.

I had a chat with someone recently who said "I'm right-leaning, but I'm starting to miss Biden..." and I asked:

"Why are you right-leaning?"

And it's like they short-circuited right in front of me.

Normally, they hit me back with misguided claims that Republicans are good for the economy, or that they are fiscal conservatives, or something about Russia or China-- but we are both tax accountants and we understand very intimately how fucked the US economy really is, while coping with the reality that our retirement savings are pretty much gone and unlikely to recover.

Sometimes, they'll say something about immigration. However, some of our best team members self-deported due to the threat of forceful deportation on their families, so things are really bad at our public accounting firm and getting worse as people burn out from the increased work loads.

Or on occasion, they'll spout some platitudes about the US Constitution, Veterans, or All-American values, but obviously Republicans do not give a fuck about any of that.

So finally they splutter:

".. traditions are important to me."

And I'm like, "What kind of traditions?"

And they say:

"... Easter and Christmas."

In my opinion, people that consider themselves right-leaning simply like to complain and complain and complain about things they do not bother to educate themselves about, while fully expecting everyone else to look out for them when they are actively sabotaging every effort made to improve our nation.

Bro, Republicans ain't sending NOBODY to study.

These athletes got in through their own hard work. Even if isn't entirely academic, they are still learning about macros, nutrition, and the human body.

Republicans want people to be uneducated and stupid, because those are the type people who vote against their own best interests.

This is a great example of why immigrants bringing their customs and food to another country can lead to great things.

Best tacos ever.

I have long speculated it's a way to keep copyright control of IP that may be entering the public domain, and people who enjoyed the original are more likely to watch the remake.
