  • Also, anyone who wants to access government services. Want Medicaid? Work in the fields. Want Social Security? Work in the fields. Want Food Stamps? Work in the fields? Want Medicare? Work in the fields. Etc.

    If you already have a couple of jobs, send your children to the fields. It’s not like they’re getting a useful education anyway. Most of it will be MAGA propaganda about how much better it is for kids to work in the fields instead of the classroom, because it keeps the evil foreigners out of our country.


  • I was a 12 year account with nearly one million Karma, when I was permabanned in the post-Inauguration purge, for a comment I had made numerous times without an issue.

    We were the people that built Reddit. When I started, nobody had heard of it. When I was “fired,” it was one of the biggest websites in the world. It had become a cesspool of puns, trolls, bots, MAGA dickheads, Russian Propaganda Farmers, novelty accounts, and worse. It was already difficult to navigate to actual comments on some subs. Now that they have permabanned so many highly active active accounts, the problems has worsened significantly.

    Lemmy is great, and I can speak more openly, although the mods are a little free with the removal tools. I miss some of the niche subs, like the guitar subs. The guitar community on Reddit is great, and very supportive of players. I wish Lemmy had that.

    I was referring to the castle metaphorically, as if it were any large purchase by a Sociopathic Oligarch. Substitute mansion or yacht for castle.

    And we should tax all forms of revenues for the wealthy, including income, investment, capital gains, inheritance, etc.

    And we should tax the shit out of churches.




  • No, but that work should be generating profit, and almost every employee should share in a higher percentage of those profits. Those at the top just make sure the profit increases, they don’t actually earn it, yet they get the far higher share. It’s the workers who actually create the profit, and they should be compensated with a much higher percentage of those profits.

    Of course, that means lower profits for the company, but if employees are getting fairly compensated, then they will have more buying power, and corporations will make up the difference in lower profit margins with increased sales volume from workers with expendable income.
