The Shawshank Redemption would also like a word.

Business people making business decisions. 🤷‍♂️

You can solve our issues with investment, like Democrats do. Our economy does better under Democrats than Republicans.

Republicans seem to think this is how things work and that may explain the consistent economic downturns you see under most Republican admin’s.

Until the American people figure this out, things will suck.

Democrats may not be your cup of tea, but it’s undeniable the country does better when Republicans are not in charge over the past century or so.

Fine for me. Don’t need a lot of troll bots and junk opinions from the uninformed. 🤷‍♂️

Go look up how lead poisoned our generation is. No one should rely on Gen X for shit. We failed the country this past election for sure.

Are you asking me if I can predict the future?

They want $100 for this. They are trying to make games expensive again.

In my mind, the bigger and more expensive the dev team, the more likely the business people are to be involved. Those business types really know how to suck fun and fairness out of games in an attempt to turn it into unbridled profits.

Buy a handful of games from small independent studios instead of this if you feel similarly to me.

Go ahead, search it if you don’t understand. Just want to make sure this is here for the time when they track down the upvotes.

We forgot we could regulate capitalism like we did 100 years go. Let’s make taxes great again. Then take that money and pour it into education. If the states really want to control that, fine, that’s a compromise that can probably still end up working out in the end.

And so they win: making you hate me for stuff I don’t support and have been trying to prevent for my entire adult life.

Great job everyone, me included.

No one is waiting for them to do the right thing. People are waiting for their “but this affects me!” moments to eat away enough of his support to make moves feasible.

You know what I get super tired of? The fucking fatalism that seems so popular to pop off with in the hopes of a couple little updoots to make oneself feel better about the situation. It isn’t helpful. You are allowed, I can’t stop y’all, but I am exhausted by it.

It is called regulation in sane parts of the world.

Sadly, those areas seem to be diminishing rapidly until more people enter the Find Out phase.

Conservatives don’t care what’s true, they govern off vibes.

Well, here is a perfect vibe check: y’all feel like most people you know are financially all set? Not worried about work or a sudden medical expense? How’s it feeling out there?

Does it feel like Trump and his billionaire boys club are helping you?

Union up! LFG!

Remember Pizzagate?

It’s always projection with conservatives. We keep seeing it over and over. When will we believe them?

America: Snowflake Country

Your sense of history is brutally stunted.

Because conservatives have been gutting education every chance they get throughout history. 🤷‍♂️

By helping eject from those systems. There’s lots of cool open source projects based on all sorts of different hardware. And you can self-host some bits and pieces of your digital life if you really feel motivated to.

I don’t know if it’s much help but I never said it would solve all the things you seem to want it to. There are some alternatives out there for people feeling trapped by big tech, I’m just trying to share a small piece of that.
