Sounds promising, except the “wealthy” he’s considering are probably in the 80k-250k bracket lol

Unless they’re targeting multimillionaires+, it’s not gonna work. The other half of this is that there needs to be an open and transparent process for keeping tracking of how taxes are spent

Edit but since it’s a bunch of kleptocrats in govt now, what to think of that? I guess rich progressives/dems/libs better make sure they’re using the same loop holes to conserve wealth that the conservatives will, otherwise it’s just playing a game rigged to kill you.

I want to believe that the working class will finally take back its power, the first step of which will be forming strong and effective unions. The second step is ensuring high taxes on the wealthy, coupled with accountability for how that tax revenue is spent

But I look at all the previous decades of failure, and I recommend that young people in particular should make alternative plans in case they have to fend in a hostile social, political and economic environments

1—do nothing else but learn some skill or trade (or several) which you can use to get paid

2—don’t excessively drink, don’t excessively do drugs, don’t excessively sleep around, and get and stay fit

3—create a network of friends and family, but don’t stress if you cannot. Get a hobby, try to get married, but don’t stress if you don’t. Cut out toxic people and family from your life

4—do whatever else you care about if you’ve done the above

Conventional wisdom still helps, don’t be fooled by people who say that it doesn’t work

Could be banned, or maybe they just stopped posting because hive mind can only view things as troll or one-of-us

This is better for hug 🫂

Why does it matter?

Don’t know why I thought it was pronounced “blow ha”.

I thought I’d do a psa, oh well

I think it was actually Bowie’s death which changed the timeline, and preventing Harambe’s was our last chance to revert it back.

I like how you frame your pov, it’s convincing. Esp. this part,

The problem with this is that society doesn’t get to choose where his money went, he did.

I agree, and I’ve always been about higher taxes on the wealthy. The point in original point was more that the left needs effective, goal-directed leadership. Not martyrs or short-term solutions.

I don’t think she’s mad about the funko pops per se, it may be more she doesn’t think you have any serious life or relationship goals. Did you try couples therapy? She needs to be able to voice out her concerns in a mature manner if she values having a relationship with you. People have all sorts of hobbies, yours is pretty tame tbh, so I think her reaction and inflexibility on this is more about something else, likely her perception that you lack long term goals. But that’s just internet stranger guesswork! Get couples therapy.
