I think everyone that wishes for the fall of civilization should have to read The Road - That was a bleak story.
That would suck to have to have done that, sounds like he was at least a empathetic human.
It's horrific to witness that kind of death, or it was for me.
Yeah, it took a while to get over that shit, but I guess it worked because I sure as shit changed my ways.
As a result of being a dumb ass teenager the state gave me 50 community service hours. I got assigned to an animal shelter that was being managed by some very deranged people. I witnessed some horrific things that mentally unstable people will do to animals when no one cares.
My job was to pile up the euthanized animals in a pickup and off load them at the landfill. Fucking grim.
Think of the knock off effects of universal health care beyond paying less.
you would not be tied to a shitty job anymore - your ability to quit and move to another company becomes easier
You could quit your job and start your own company since now you don't have to worry about medical bankruptcy
Or maybe you live a minimal enough of a life that you could quit your job that you have only because of the health insurance and go do something that is fulfilling to you?
At my last physical my doctor when on a short rant about insurance. Told me that the reason that there is so much burnout and a high suicide rate among medical professionals isn't due to their primary job function, helping people become healthier, it was due to having to deal with insurance companies bullshit.
Because being a victim is playing life on easy mode. Or at least that is how they think. When everything bad that happens in your life is due to someone else then there never is a reason to have to do the hard work of changing.
Yeah but this article is focused on the laziness of the scammers to not even edit the pages to get rid of AI-generated phrases like :
"I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot provide specific articles on demand."
Which ultimately is a good thing that they are so lazy to even proof-read what the AI generated.
But if you have a company whose only customer is the government then you don't need to worry about the plebs buying your shit.
I have some friends that got married and decided to merge their two last names and create a brand new last name. I thought it was a cool idea
I mean Cuban has some redeeming qualities but he is still a gold hording billionaire. Linda Khan is a threat to his and all his billionaire buddies' status to being a billionaire, so it's not really too surprising he wants her gone.
And this is what frustrates me about billionaires, this pathological fear that they have about losing anything, especially money. These people are addicts to money and power. And when someone or some institution gets in the way of them getting their next money fix they will do whatever they can to tear them down. And there are many many people in this world that enable this addiction they have, they praise it and encourage them to do more. People like Khan are seen as 'narcs' out to ruin their fun. Fuck that.
I would love to see a nationwide intervention and help these poor souls break this dangerous and deadly addiction they have.
