And every time we get someone on the hook as a ring leader (Epstein) or a reporter with information on the blatant corruption of our economy (Panama Papers|Daphne Anne Caruana Galizia) they end up dead and media coverage of the investigations go dark.

Then the people involved keep the noise to a minimum and the issues get swept away in the current of The Algorithm™.

Anyone who sees has been disenfranchised of the old avenues that assisted organizing local support networks that facilitated engagement in direct action. From the erasure of third spaces, to the oppressive cost of living, to the corporate controlled media, workplace culture to avoid "talking politics"(i.e. please don't unionize against the owners), and aggrandizing of unhealthy work-life-balance as something to be proud of instead of angry at, etc, etc, etc....

The US owning class has its workers by the balls. They spent decades building a paradise of exploitation. Every small gain we fought for to be slowly undermined by subversive powers turning us against each other and our own interest.

I still have people telling me that 15/hr is too generous.

People gotta start getting angry enough to organize with other angry people.

I'm disappointed in No Mans Sky for not using it for the Utility Menu they have. Really was a missed opportunity.

I think I could count on one hand the number of games I've played that actually used the touch features of the touch pad (swipe, pinch, etc...) rather than have it just be a big button.

I forget which game it was but they let you control the map with it. Was actually pretty good once you got used to it.

To soak and relax. Not marinate in your own filth.

Yea his mistake was pumping the number too much. If he would have kept a steady stream of income and not get greedy, they never would have noticed him.
