I don’t need gas, but I do need to eat every now and then.
Or shelter. Or healthcare.
Or if you live in a functional society, not under a dictator
Where can one find such a place? And do they want/accept immigrants?
In Europe and South East Asia you’re mostly good?
Don’t know about migrants from the US though. I mean, we worked hard for this…
At least for the gas this is the start of a better way of thinking about the problem. When I still lived in the US, I heard ppl complain about the price of gas all the time. However, I never heard complaints about our dependency on gas or the economic problem that the cheapest stuff there is per volume felt expensive to buy.
There how I’ve reframed it every time I hear it. So how are you reducing your need for gas? I’m biking and taking transit so it has stopped hurting so much. Try to alter their thinking from “this is unavoidable” to “I guess we could do fewer trips”
eating? in this economic situation?
Gas prices have been higher, both in a relative and absolute sense, if you’re looking at the USA’s national average. The biggest issue now is that these prices are due specifically and directly to Donald Trump, his administration, and the complicity of the courts and congress. They were avoidable and unnecessary.
This is in DIRECT contrast to his campaign promises: Lower prices, Day One. He’s going to immediately lower prices.
Average intelligence people and above knew that this was a lie from the get go. That millions upon millions of American voters believed it, is a shame.
I just need a hug.
When do we start the revolution?
Already have. Do you think it’s a singular event to attend? No, it’s many small things that eventually grow into big things if they have to.
Look at all the flock cameras destruction. See how that’s happening cross country will minimal repercussion? People are learning they can become ungovernable.
I hate this kind of kumbaya take. It serves to lessen the need for real action.
You’ve been trained on history books that highlight huge events, and action movies. The real world is about slow pressure over long times.
My guess is never, but let’s see what happens in November. Cancelling the elections or obvious tampering or outright disregard of the outcome will probably spark mass protests. Things can happen from that. There will be heavy military presence, but if millions show up… who knows? Still, we tough and independent Americans will likely just bend over and take it in the ass. It looks like the home of the brave was the easiest country for the wealthy elite to take.
When being lazy finally becomes too difficult
While people are willing to pay for some poor bastard to bring a milkshake to their door in 115° heat without thinking about the slave doing their bidding just to survive, ‘Murica will keep doing what’ Murica does
Exploiting people. Being a collective example of every single thing that people can do to treat others badly
And they will be pissy when they are called out for it
