Say what you want about him, but the last CEO “made a difference”. Just not in the way that smug punchable asshole intended.

Ugh, why give them money and then tax it again? That makes no sense.

We do that on America’s Unemployment Income, and it seems ridiculous. Why give it, if you’re just taking away some later?

Thank you for this argument. I had found that mentally I was getting trapped in this line of thinking about UBI.

My way around in my mental way if thinking it was Universal Basic Medicine, Universal Basic Food, Universal Basic Housing, and so on. That way, if some jackass landlord decided to raise rent too high, you’re not homeless. Also, in my ideal world, the health insurance industry should be “taken out”.

Well you can if you want. It just won’t help the sting.

I’ve been going vegetarian more lately, and looking for hardy meat substitutes. Yesterday I found a lentil sloppy joe sandwich I wanna try.

Damn straight we are. He’s a national hero.

Absolutely true story.

I was a latchkey Gen-X. Once, as a young teenager, I was sure I witnessed a UFO landing in my back yard. It was night in the fall, and I was alone.I was alerted to a sound like a giant vacuum cleaner. I looked outside and saw smoke and a big machine with lights, either in my back yard or neighboring field. It crept closer, and spun around. My heart was racing.

Then I realized it was a combine tractor in the neighboring field, harvesting cross at night. The smoke was dust from the harvest. That’s when I realized: Anything can be a UFO if you are bad at identifying things, and don’t realize it’s not flying.

That’s a misconception. Typical healthy urine has microbe flora, most of which are helpful.

He wasn’t a billionaire, but he was filthy sticking rich, and made his money by causing untold stress and harm on other people.

I mean his company was already notoriously evil when he was just a high-ranking executive. But he took the helm, and wanted more money by being crueler than that.

Health care for profit? Also unethical.

Even worse, they are colluding with big pharma to raise prices, because would you rather get a 10% profit off of $100 or $10000?

Also, how much will people sell their soul and human decency for?

If you’re worth $60 mil, you may want to consider personal protection and body guards, especially if you’ve sold your human decency making people hate you.

Turn the skillet upside down like a Dairy Queen Blizzard. If you can do that with your fat, it’s not healthy.

This is pretty good advice, and something I often need to remind myself of. The word “just” weakens what you’re saying and is usually superfluous. Delete it.

Some, but… Certain super-addictive drugs should be limited.

I own it now!

Let’s help PeerTube replace YouTube.

Let people poop where they feel comfortable pooping.

Please, stop!

I don’t need them to give me any more reasons to not visit Idaho! I promise I won’t go.
