Kids these days won't believe it, but before cellphones when you went to the mall with your family everyone would go their separate ways and agree to meet back at Hot Topic at a certain time, and if someone didn't show up they'd just have to find a new family.

Yes, tariffs are a tax, but people don't mention often enough that they are a regressive tax. Taxes on consumer goods tax the poor at a higher rate, as basic necessities are a much larger part of their spending.

If food goes up by 20%, it is a tax on the poor. Rich people won't even notice.

I stared into the Abyss for like three hours, and honestly I just feel like the book was better.

The fact that conservatives are buying Tesla's now is so funny. They are like "the environment is GAY. I hate planet Earth!! I would never drive an electric car....oh, wait a minute, the electric car is also racist? Why didn't you say so to begin with, I'm in!"

Not sure I've ever seen a more obvious picture to remind us that police exist to protect the property of the ruling class, not the rights of the people.

Doing my part to fight fascism by getting absolutely blasted on Canadian Whiskey on a weekday.

"Efficiency" for billionaires always just means "less money for the poor".

They making their businesses more "efficient" by cutting salaries. They are going to make social security more "efficient" by paying out less. They are going to make medicare more "efficient" by covering less. It never ends.

Do you ever get the feeling that the world is going to end in a VERY stupid way? Like it's all going to kick off over a crypto coin tanking or something like that. Or maybe the Cowboys winning the Superbowl.

Just feels like the world is approaching peak stupid.

I believe now is the right moment politically to attack and dethrone God.

Yes, they can make robots that replace workers, but until they make robots that buy the useless crap that they produce, I don't see much point.

I honestly don't understand the point of the CIA if they aren't going to assassinate Elon Musk.

We need one of those efficiency experts, like on Office Space, to go through all the agents and ask them what the hell they are doing all day.

Starting to actually think that the United States might be cursed.

Is there any chance whatsoever that we accidentally built it on top of an Indian burial ground??

Everything is dishwasher safe if you aren't a coward.

A lot of people are confused by how someone so seemingly stupid as Elon Musk could become the richest person in the world, so they come up with all sorts of theories about how he must be secretly smart.

Allow me to explain: the world is stupid too.

Make sure to get the most out of each day. For example, today I took a nap, but then I realized I still had more productive hours left in the day, so I took a SECOND nap.

Never.
Stop.
Hustling.

Software engineers are so lazy these days. They just want to have ChatGPT tell them the answer. Back in my day we copy and pasted the answer from Stack Overflow BY HAND, and we didn't complain.
