Just an unconsequential nobody rewriting the power structures that bind us.
It was always crazy to me how many of my coworkers thought their breaks were legally protected by law. Spoiler. They’re not. That’s for child labor not adults. Only protection we had was our union and they crapped on it all the time claiming they had a federal right to breaks anyway… can’t fix stupid.
Who names these people? I feel like I’m stuck in a bad sitcom and all the writers are on strike. Let me out of this b list movie.
Consenting adults at that
Anyone else catch his lawyers name… oh the irony.
The American response to that is, “be happy you have a job and not living under a bridge like that guy.” And then they blacklist you in your industry and fire you without cause.
More like Gen X. The silent generation trying to kill us all. But sure, blame the kids.
Sounds very reminiscent of Wisconsin circa 2011.
Perhaps not, but we can all agree that’s a form of predatory capitalism and it’s unethical. Not to mention a massive invasion of privacy.
Well, that explains my ban
In a perfect world. But he is the sitting president and does sign bills into law. But you’re right, I’m referring to executive orders as well. But the GENIUS Act he signed after passing the House and the series of AI Executive Orders like Preventing Woke AI, Export of the American AI Tech Stack and his deregulation on Data Centers. . They’re rushing forward with all of this while the whirlwind of Epstein news dominates the news cycle. These are massive power shifts and it’s only been a week.
I would argue the Epstein scandal is the distraction here not the other way around. He’s also signing a lot of shady tech legislation we should all be frightened by.
I think that’s very possible. They’re using him as a fall guy too. They want to transition power to someone who’s not so fickle and more loyal while avoiding elections. They have to constantly course correct him because he’s actually wildly incompetent and he goes off script. He’s easy to manipulate but that means he’s easy to manipulate by everyone.
Also, look at all the tech stuff he’s passing right now. It’s super concerning and is going to have long term impact on our ability to do anything beyond tech monopoly control. Everything is “EPSTEIN” meanwhile he’s signing crypto laws, ai deregulation and all kinds of scary dystopian tech bills.
If you don’t know who Curtis Yarvin and what the Dark Enlightenment is and who his acolytes are— it’d be a good place to start to understand what’s possibly happening here. Hint: JD Vance is a loyalist.
Clearly, other ideologies are also blocked then correct? Like, you can’t say, “no Christian nationalists” or “no white nationalists” or “no fascists” or “no Neo-Nazis” or “no MAGA”. Right? Right?? You have to accept and expose yourself to all dangerous ideologies equally.
Ah “toxic empathy” this is the “I need to protect my mental health— I can’t be bothered with seeing homeless people or caring about genocide. It hurts me to care, so I just won’t.” crowd. And every last one of them is a “magical empath” with more empathy than anyone ever had ever. They’re the mostest empathetic and don’t question it!

Good ole Donald J. Quixote
Glad I’m not the only one whose mind went straight there
Absolutely agree it’s a public health disaster. People will also “save” their sick days and show up sick instead of take them, even when they have them available. We have a very toxic work ethic. Also, our schooling preps us for never missing a day. We’re praised and rewarded from childhood for not missing a single school day. And kids who have health problems or miss school regularly are scorned. I wish I was kidding. Hoping this has changed at least since Covid. But I doubt it.
