That’ll do! Let’s hit the pub.

Nice. Germany has some good visa programs for skilled workers. If you’ve got the credentials, the consulates will work with you on immigration and it’s not a very onerous system.

I’m already on the road ahead of you.

Spent 30 years campaigning, calling, sign waving, writing letters, donating to candidates, causes, and groups. Even ran for office a couple of times. Every year it gets worse and I’ve got kids. They don’t need to live in a dystopian place so we’re on the road. Headed to a developed nation. Greener pastures,.but it’s worth a try.

The dumbest part of the US’s “fuck you poor people, die in the gutter” approach to homelessness is that it’s more expensive than using a system to provide homes to people:

“A further study of Finland’s Housing First program found that giving a homeless person a home and support resulted in cost savings for the society of at least €15,000 per person per year, with potentially even higher cost savings in the long term.[7] These cost savings for society are in part a result of reductions in usage of emergency healthcare, police, and the justice system when homeless people are given a home.”

Children are especially vulnerable and costly to not provide housing to. The US is, at its core, an essentially a selfish and heartless nation. You can removed all you want about that stance, but a budget is a statement of your values. Those values don’t include helping people and they don’t include being cost effective, so what is being achieved here except paying more to be cruel to children and their families?

Just another TACO Tuesday.

TACO style fascism rules the day.

Using a capitalist/economic solution to solve a resource scarcity problem?!? We can’t have that (says the hard-line capitalists).

Congestion pricing works and should be the rule in every notable city. We need fewer card and car trips as part of the transformation of humanity’s civilization to adapt to a limited world. The line cannot go up forever.

And he needs money! He just can’t handle it so he needs more.

Fascist dictators don’t have loyalty, soldier. That’s a key element to them.

We also train young adults to gather evidence, use a skeptical process when presented with ideas, and have enough resources to speak up about problems in communities.

It’s a trifecta of things conservatives hate.

Ah yes, yet another way to control and hurt women. The whole idea of medical care during birth is based on situations where you happen to need it. If things go well, they go well. Being at the hospital or having a midwife is about when things go off the rails. The vast majority of people want you and your child to survive childbirth, which is a dangerous and difficult process for many out there. Anyone who says “just don’t have help you might need, it’ll be fine” is either a liar or actively trying to harm you.

This is just another branch of “under the hood” religious nutjobiness like Tradwives which all boils down to active alt-right control over women.

Ah, so the bribe money finally cleared.

According to one of our adjuncts: “Windows just works for dev, why are we teaching Linux at all?”

He didn’t last.

“Say” - so… It means nothing to authoritarians. Do something about it or resign yourself.

Or at least get right wing death threats and have any security stripped away, followed by being doxxed by the head of the judicial branch and DOJ.

Way too spot on. The video “How to Radicalize a Normie” should be mandatory study in middle school… Then high school, then every year thereafter.

And who has been appointing, then bribing, the judges for the last 30 years…

I don’t know much about Poundland, but I know they’re no liars about their advertising. Everything, including the business itself, went for a pound.

I salute them for their consistency!

It’s not a conservative’s problem until it effects them personally. By then it’s usually too late, but at least they feel bad about that one issue for a while.

He told them it was okay to be openly racist and hateful again. Once you do that, conservatives will follow you anywhere.
