40 days should be indefinitely until management changes. As in, those who “kissed the ring” must leave.

“Deeply concerned.” How reassuring.

I still don’t want to think he’s a bad person, but for me, why he is a bad person is because zero “too-big-to-fail” CEOs went to jail during the immediate aftermath of the '08 crisis.

He could’ve nationalized the banks that were underwater. Even temporarily. The DoJ had ample evidence, precedent, and prosecutorial room to make heads roll. He was the one person who had power to do so. “Yes, we can!” became “No, I won’t.”

He’s not the only one in my lifetime to screw the American people, but as a young 25-year-old man, his betrayal stung the most in the wreckage of 2008 into '09. I voted for him. I thought I genuinely liked him.

When it came down to it, he’s actually like all the rest. Socialize the losses; privatize the gains.

Eat the billionaires. Sic semper tyrannis.

Pension funds have invested in stocks and bonds for decades.

Tradition is anchor of civilization. And civilization is madness.

UnDeshittification

Makes more sense to me if the prefix “en” is used in “enshittification”.

“slams”

Protesting against a government with ample amounts of 5th generation multi-role fighter aircraft, drones with Hellfire missiles, and plenty of rubes who are giddy at the prospect of shooting the populace they’d supposedly sworn to protect is a fool’s errand.

Wildcat strikes “are de wei”.

He should have gone to ground earlier in the campaign.

It can; is that hotly debated?

Fair; poking fun at your lemmy handle was admittedly unnecessary, but I thought it was a decent ribbing, given the name and what you claimed.

However, none of that absolves you from providing where you get the information that “everyone collectively agrees that the USPS is shit” compared to FedEx and UPS and what it’s specifically “worse” at. You’re not claiming something axiomatic like “2+2=4”, you’re making broad generalizations about “everyone”.

Of course, you can make claims without evidence and post wojak memes all day, but then “everyone” would “collectively agree” that you’re full of shit.

everyone collectively agrees

Evidence of this?

USPS is shit compared to their competitors FedEx and UPS

At what? Packages or letters? Bulk shipping? International? Domestic?

Define, refine, and support your terms and arguments.

Then again you decided on @RoosterBoy@lemm.ee as a handle, so I suppose we should all expect nothing but “cock-a-doodle-doos” out of you.

I think you may be correct in the sense that a great cultural change needs to occur for people to even contemplate that a wildcat strike as an option exists and is viable in halting the mechanisms of oppression/repression.

The problem is the entrenchment of authoritarian techno-feudalism combined with the hubris of “might makes right”. The solution is wildcat strikes.

I feel Word of Blake could work for the Trumpers but part of them seem similar to Katherine Steiner-Davion sycophants.

As an aside, I always preferred House Davion in the Inner Sphere, however my first loves were the Warden Wolves and the Ghost Bears. Honorable mention to the Nova Cats and a hale shout-out to The Wolf’s Dragoons.

Impressive!

VPN with multi-hop proxy, my bratha/sista.

plausible explanation for this level of incompetence

Competence is irrelevant. He’s not here to “govern effectively”, he’s here to dismantle the U.S. and its allies and turn them into vassal states for the CCP, Putin Regime, the House of Saud, and any other authoritarian who wants in on the action.

Sure, dude. Sure.

The world is largely full of masochists ruled by sadists.

Never underestimate people’s desire for servility in the name of stability.

The vast majority of people have an exceedingly high tolerance for their own subjugation if it means they don’t have to think or act to avoid pain or responsibility.

Okay, I admit that I basically said the same thing 3 times with different wording. Personally, I just hope that I’m not as docile as I fear that I am.
