Oh man it does drive me crazy people, especially politicians, seem to lack any sort of empathy and hold certain views but then they themselves or a family member cause them to experience something and only then can they understand. This is the most mild expression of the solidarity of the common man around recent news items I think I have seen while still being a powerful statement.

@JennieBreeden I have been posting your current days comics because I did not think you were active outside mastadon, but I saw a post yesterday of an older one. Let me know if you prefer I don't and I will stop. I will likely eventually stop anyway if/when I find a new job.

Thanks for the conf and it sucks but im in tech so serial unemployment is a fact of life and I have been around the block a few times.

This confuses me. Is it showing that the guy is right? Or pretending that fascists are not supporting CEOs?

No matter how I look at it it doesn't make sense.

Its showing even the uninformed know CEOs are awful, garbage creatures.

Im sorta surprised folks don't get some of her stuff. Seems pretty straight forward to me but someone had a similar confused comment on another of hers.

But they don't. People worship shits like Trump, Musk, Bezos, etc.

He won by a single percentage, and most didnt vote. 49 percent of voters think he is that and thats being generous. The real issue is this country worships Mammon.

It’s showing that people are more willing to accept misinformation when they don’t have personal experience.
