But not in Marx’s time. 45s and 33 1/3s weren’t invented until the 40s

middle managers suck.

FTFY

SOME of our hearts are in the right place

Okay, you seem to believe that every American is somehow perfectly reflected by its government, which is reductive but I get it, you’re upset.

But if you live on planet Earth, whether or not it suits you, it absolutely IS your problem. My government is an extractive, imperialist bully. My government’s military is single largest institutional consumer of fossil fuels and biggest single institutional emitter of greenhouse gases. My government has no qualms about making it your problem.

Pretending it’s not your problem is like pretending the neighbor’s house on fire isn’t your problem. You can get away with that for a while, but eventually you’ll burn too.

Nobody is being quiet about it, though. People are on the ground doing real things to try to change this. Like, ALL kinds of people. It takes time, and saying things like “your country is whack” isn’t helpful in and of itself. Saying “looking at this thing happening in your whack country right now” (like this post) is helpful. I didn’t ask anybody to solve our problems.

Me too!

We are. It’s going to take some time, and it will probably get a lot worse before it gets better, but we are.

Yeah, we’re working on it. Things are just getting heated up now. It takes a lot of critical mass to do what needs to be done. That takes time, unfortunately.

Yeah, again we know our country sucks. What else do you have? Because if you seriously think that “It’s not anyone else’s problem” then, have I got news for you

Thanks, we know that. Got anything helpful to share with the class?

State law enforcement here in Minnesota has told protesters not to come. All politicians who were scheduled to speak will not be showing up.

Wanna bet that a curfew is next?

Reporting in from Minnesota: State law enforcement is now telling everybody “Do not show up to No Kings Day Events”

$0. I would not have any it if I didn’t pirate it. I was never going to spend any money.

This is genuinely not true. Same goes for 2016. Non-voting democrats tend to skew conservative. You’re just trying to start a fight with the left. That’s not helpful to our current situation; it literally only helps the fascists.

You have big “tipping the waitress a penny for bad service” energy

Up here in Minnesota it’s roughly March-June, but when I lived in Oklahoma for a little while it seemed like it was Mid Summer

Still alive!

As someone who lives in the Midwest, let me tell you, there absolutely IS a tornado season. We’re actually in the tail end of it right now.

I mostly agree with you (see my other comments in the thread). I was just explaining it from the perspective of the Maryland lawmakers. Although, you’re not entirely correct. It appears that the law is a lot more broad than the title would lead you to believe
