That's a great point. The 1% vs 99% discourse was introduced during the great recession, and while it's a nice quick shorthand, the literal figure of 1% really does spread out the blame more than it should. It's actually a much smaller percentage of people who are sucking up so many resources and who are the biggest cause of misery on Earth. That just makes the fact that we're forced to cater to them even more striking.

Wasn't trump talking about making tips tax-free? It's only going to make the problem a lot worse. Maybe the problem getting so bad will reach a breaking point and we're seeing some of the effects of this aggressive push to shove tipping everywhere now.
The perpendicular mambo is no good?
This is actually just AI bots shedding their human skinsuits.
Like where you wrote as if people were claiming trump would be an improvement?
You can't teach those who don't want to learn.
You can stop putting words in my mouth, thank you very much.
Did you not just post this?:
“reee i won’t vote for harris because gaza genocide!!1!1” users on lemmy suspiciously silent now
So you can excuse genocide because the other guy also supports it?
If we cannot count on democrats to stand against genocide, which should be the easiest thing to be against, then what makes you think democrats would stand for the people in other ways that conflict with what those in power want?
The only realistic option halting the genocide was putting pressure on the democrats and the only way to apply pressure to a politician for the non-rich is by threatening to withhold a vote for them.
If politicians refuse to listen to voters during an election, which is a most critical time, then clearly they will refuse to listen to voters outside of an election where you can't even threaten to vote them out.
True, and maybe I'm playing a losing game by arguing within that context, but I did want to point out that even under those conditions the "logical fallacy" doesn't fit.
That's horrible. I should Google for more information so I can avoid using companies involved with the military.
I love the music in Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and like to listen to it sometimes when I'm doing work (but then I get caught up in the music lol), however, I've rarely listened to the unused tracks. This is a nice mellow track and would be more conducive to listening while doing work or just chilling out.
