@jeffowski Well, in those days there were no blatant slave owners (it was well-hidden) and sex was not something we talked about.
Racism was fading (we thought) and women were gaining ground in the world. It was (apparently) awesome.
Then the '70s came to a brutal end when some senile idiot actor took the helm. He got this fucked-up mess rolling.
Unchained Felony
That food, which I am not supposed to have, I must have that food.
@gtconway3 He likes to think he is a TV star, and the most popular show on during the Camacho Administration (which bears notable similarity to today's Felonocracy) was "Ow, My Balls!" so the Felon should go on that show.
@docdieterlen Denmark is considering a measure put forth by the Inatsisartut (legislature of the largest Danish state) to change the name to Epstein Island in order to get the Felonocracy to stop pestering them.
Just how stupid do you have to be to …
(Now give a few hours to compile the list of movies that refers to.)
@gtconway3 The only answer to the Felon is for the "blue-ish" states to form a coalition to replace what he has trashed, to be able to say to him, "As long as you continue to disrespect the Constitution, we shall disrespect your authority." Yet, to do it in a way that does not exclude the "red-ish" states (not a civil war).
@donni "Why?"
@dannotdaniel @noondlyt Better to get it TACO
@noondlyt To much oil. We have to get to raping the ANWR before we can sell it back to them.
@blueskyfanatic.bsky.social We have a really good grocery store chain, loosely spread over 6 or 8 states, that has darn good prices, probably mostly because it is "employee owned". There are others of its kind around the country.
Fuck W**-M***
@rbreich Even at lesser levels, the one major factor in attaining notable wealth (entering the top 5% or so) is
Luck.
Thousands of entrepreneurs live on the edge or fail, while a few of them do something ever so slightly different and hit the big time. They are not more hard-working or more clever, just luckier.
There is a reason great wealth is called "a fortune".
@petergleick Their discipline has a different name: it is called “psyence”.
It never was about abortion
