    I hope people understand now that when they say they want government to "be run like a business," this is what it means. Forcibly imposed hierarchy w/ little to no democratic accountability. Top-down decisions made by privileged ghouls that enrich a few and exploit the many.

    America is a place where people are infinitely more suspicious about what the $1 they gave to an unhoused person will be used for than they are about the trillion dollars we give to "defense spending" every year.

    I simply can't overstate how much Biden would lose to Trump. You think it's unfair when we bring up all the skeletons in his record? You think we're mean for pointing out that his off-script speeches are batshit nonsense? What the *hell* do you think will happen in the general?

    Jesus fucking Christ. "Arby's employee found dead inside freezer 'beat her hands bloody trying to escape'" Suit says "a latch on the freezer door had been broken since Aug. 22 & the store franchise owner & regional manager knew about it & didn't fix it."

    Weird and bizarrely framed article (that doesn't cite a single worker)...
