Comedy will not keep me from going bankrupt from medical debt, create a robust middle class or for that matter, produce the Epstein files.
Also, comedy is subjective. As an example, I don’t think it’s funny, I think it’s fucking dumb. Third rate 4-chan trolling shit is only mildly amusing when coming from a fourth grader, it’s absolutely retarded coming from the octogenarian president of the United States.
Just to add, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act repealed Carter’s Mental Health Systems Act - effectively defunding community based health organizations that would support those tossed out of institutions and onto the street. Reagan and Republicans more generally just didn’t give a shit what happened to these people as long as it didn’t cost them any money and that is largely why the homeless situation is where it is today.
It also should not be forgotten that shortly after this, Rush Limbaugh began a decades-long campaign against the homeless on his radio show, constantly demonizing them and attempting to paint homelessness as a choice made exclusively by addicts and the societally worthless.
Ironic that the only way to get a government to put the screws to billionaires and their shit platforms is to threaten the hegemony of the party that used the very same platforms to ratfuck their way to the top.
You laugh, but it’s worse than you might think.
First I’d heard of Light No Fire, wow yeah, that looks great. Honestly, I think their style lends itself more to fantasy than SciFi, this could be great.
New evangelical conservative hero now: “lesbians are scary.” New evangelical conservative hero 20 years ago: “Guess who’s back in the motherfucking house/With a fat dick for your motherfucking mouth.”
Praise Jesus.
After the two met Friday, the president told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that "Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said, ‘You can’t have an honest election, election with mail-in voting.’
How brain dead can Fox watchers really be? How can you listen to this - literally everything about that blurb is bizarro-world upside-down retarded.
It is Schroedinger’s Stochastic Parrot. Simultaneously a Chinese Room and the reincarnation of Hitler.
“for the good of your betters.”
Krasnov’s been mouthing off a lot in public lately, so I guess this summons is because it’s time to remind him that his family’s lives could be forfeit even if he’s not afraid of the pee tape anymore.
I mean, I don’t disagree that that’s historically what it’s been. But increasingly, it seems like record profits just keep going through the roof no matter what. And record stock market numbers. And record everything. Nothing goes down, not substantially. Negative news seems to have no (net) effect anymore.
At what point will we look at these numbers with skepticism? When not one worker is left who can afford their services nor one customer left who wants anything to do with their utterly shit “products” - but they still blow out the quarter with 100 billion? At what point will society recognize that this money can’t possibly represent anything actually real? Will it matter if all of us starve to death and only billionaires are left if the Microsofts of the world will still be able to post 200 billion dollar “profits”?
I’m actually curious. Because I personally think that’s increasingly what all this is. Fake as shit. Some combination of algorithms, cryptocurrency, dark pools and I dunno, the Illuminati I guess.
lol this is the thing that lets you most know it’s a bunch of dumbshits. What’s white? I know some lily-white European Jews. I know some pretty tan Italians and Greeks. Who you gonna let into your club - or not? Cletus and your other uncle-cousin? OK well good luck with that, Alabama. Roll fuckin’ tide, I guess.
And I will take this as my cue to mention that Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty are all the same company and they will each of them take every opportunity possible to fuck you.
This is what Vegas looked like 6 years ago, when I decided I would never go again, at least not to the strip. Wall-to-wall fucking people on every square inch. You used to get comped things to encourage you to gamble. Those days are past. Now, you can’t even park in the hotel garage at the hotel you are staying at without paying extra.
It is so tedious to listen to complaints about the “worst ever” anything when it represents a 4% fluctuation in a trend that has positively RUINED Vegas as a destination due to constant double-digit year-over-year gains.
Because it’s about to affect big money so they sic their bots on it to shape public opinion and stomp it, like everything else.
And yet, what you wrote is coherent and what he wrote is not.
Yeah OK, we can talk about that, sure. The point remains. Comedy won’t do that either.
