Gentrification: the process whereby the character of a poor urban area is changed by wealthier people moving in, improving housing, and attracting new businesses, typically displacing current inhabitants in the process.
It literally is gentrification. And yes they are NIMBYs too. It’s both. It’s the same coin.
Pretty much. Gentrification in action. They’re pricing out workers who work these jobs and then the rich people who move in pitch a fit about how there’s long waits and “no service” and how “no one wants to work anymore.” You all did this to yourselves. You chased away the workers. If you have a problem with the environment you created, perhaps you should stop doing that or go work these “great” jobs yourselves?
Where exactly did I say to vote for Trump?
My saying doing the same thing over and over and over was perhaps too vague. I meant we shouldn’t keep voting for Republicans AND Democrats and expecting them to fix things because neither have any interest in doing so. They only care about making themselves rich and their donors rich.
Venus? Neptune? Alpha Centauri?
If this doesn’t help convince people that Democrats are Blue Republicans, I don’t know what will. She’s literally part of the other party.
Keep on licking boots. That’ll fix things. You’ve been doing the same song and dance for 40+ years and what’s happened? The rich keep getting richer and everyone else keeps getting worse off. You’re not going to get the results you claim to want by doing the same thing over and over and over and over.
I respectively disagree. IMO, they’re centrists, Neither are communists nor socialists.
Both campaigned on being left. But what have their actions been since they got into office? Campaigning and in-office actions are not always the same.
In Bernie’s case he used to be left, but when Biden got in office he has bent the knee and been milquetoast centrist. And AOC is Pelosi 2.0. Doesn’t care about anything except making money and protecting her own image. She’s full of shit. In any other country she’d be right wing.
Now you tell me. I’ve been putting my headphones on my eyes for years and wondering why I couldn’t hear anything.
Right?
Though I’m sure if they can figure out someway to force subscription bullshit in there, they will.
Because they’re Diet Republicans. Years ago, Republicans were conservatives and Democrats were liberals. After Reagan trounced them in the 80s, the Democrats decided it was more important to be more like Republicans and have become more and more conservative with each election. Now Republicans are full on fascists and Democrats are the 1980s Republicans. And liberals have become 1980s conservatives. There is no mainstream representation for anyone who is actually left (i.e. communists, socialists, etc.).
Yep. Musk is a right winger.
Yep. And there’s actually really 2 economies in this country. There’s “the economy,” which is the one the government and media talk about incessantly. That’s the one that is booming and it affects only rich people. The economy, is the one that affects the rest of us and it’s in the shitter and has been for decades. But they won’t ever talk about that, because that ruins the narrative and more people would wake up if they knew how awful it truly is.
Because if we get most of our needs met by UBI, we’d have less reason to work their horrible low paying jobs and less likely to stay a wage slave.
Politicians and the media keep talking about crime in general and keep claiming it’s rampant, which it isn’t. But funny, they never talk about the crime that actually IS rampant, wage theft. Wage theft is bigger than all other forms of crime combined in terms of dollars lost, yet hardly anyone ever talks about or mentions it or cares about it.
Why? Because the people/companies responsible for committing it, also own the media outlets that would be responsible for covering it. They’re not going to expose their own crimes in other words.
That’s good to hear. Hopefully she loses big time and whomever replaces her isn’t such a piece of shit.
But we can’t have that I guess. I fucking hate corporations so much.
I know an even better way for them to save money. Anthony Wood, the CEO, gets like $20,990,000 in total yearly compensation. Like most these fucks most of it is non-salary, so they don’t pay taxes on it right away if at all.
I hope she does lose. I’d really like her to get wrecked, but unlikely considering how red a large portion of her district is from what I’ve heard/read. the sooner she fucks off to obscurity, the better.
Good question. Probably bootlickers who have been propagandized their entire lives. China is far more capitalist than communist IMO. It’s kind of a blend these days. They also think places like China & Russia are the enemy whe in reality our own government is the enemy and have progressively made things worse and worse for the poor and working class for decades.
There just needs to be automatic instance assignment for new users with registration time opt-out for those who want to choose. Pick whichever one is the most populated. If that’s down at that particular moment in time, pick the next most populated and so on. Take the instance picking out of the equation for people who don’t care about that. People who do care can still pick their own.
That being said, it’s difficult to grow a new website in general unless it’s already got established backing from other source (i.e. a large corporation, celebrity, etc.), It’s not like old days in the 90s when there were far fewer websites in general.
Probably because they know Trump is full of shit.
