Third kind of makes the first one pointless. Unless that is, you consider doing the Polka by yourself masturbation.
What if I put my tastebuds in someone else’s anus?
w00tabaga@lemm.eeto news@hexbear.net•Despite Trillions Spent, the US Military Hasn't Won a Real War Since 1945English17·2 年前This is stupid. Military spending is outrageous but this article is plain stupid.
What does “real war” mean after WWII? Does that mean total war? That means using nukes.
Maybe the fact that the US hasn’t fought a real war by this article’s “standard” is the exact proof that it does work.

Who cares? Without trucks moving goods, we literally have nothing and society as we know it doesn’t exist.

Then I realized all the bottom of the barrel content and takes were all from the hexbear instance. I started blocking any community from that server. It’s like a whole new world
w00tabaga@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely knowEnglish93·2 年前And on the flip side a CEO can improve and expand many people’s careers and therefore wealth.
A dictatorship like Mao Zedong, Mussolini, Hitler, etc can flow all the wealth and power to themselves, oppressing the people under them.
The point it: You can’t talk about best case scenario of one and not the other. Usually, as it’s human nature, both are going to sequester wealth and power for themselves over the people under them, but a bad dictatorship is leagues worse than a bad company/CEO.

w00tabaga@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•63% of workers unable to pay a $500 emergency expense, survey finds. How employers may help change that11·2 年前I’m not defending it? I mean, I pointed out it’s issues and how the elites it strives to eliminate it has created. They won, they beat that system.
w00tabaga@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•63% of workers unable to pay a $500 emergency expense, survey finds. How employers may help change that64·2 年前Ehhh, I’d argue the exact opposite. The people at the top hoarding so much wealth are arguably the worst capitalists. Capitalism demands cash flow, and the more the better. Few people hoarding and controlling so much of it is breaking it.
I always love to point to healthcare. Between my portion and my employer my health insurance is over $15000 for my family. Yet I have a $5000 deductible still. Imagine if all that money that my employer is paying me I was actually getting. Then apply that to every family. But instead, a few companies make all the money off that. The problem is healthcare shouldn’t be a business, but a public service just like police, firefighters, roads, etc. In an emergency I’m not going to shop hospitals, and in non emergency I don’t have a choice anyway, my insurance company decides that.
It’s the most broken system and everyone at the top is making too much money from it that it will never change until it gets so bad for the middle class it somehow starts bringing them down

So naturally now is when the feds decide to unfreeze school loans. Really telling of how out of touch our government is
