@annaleen the creator of cyberpunk I forget his name (first and only TTRPG POC author iirc in the TTRPG hall of fame) said in an interview it’s bitter sweet to read the news and realize the dystopian fiction he wrote in the 1980s & 90s is today’s reality

@br00t4c F that dude

@br00t4c why the hell are liberals so enamored with republicans these days, Nixon’s lawyer for watergate FFS?

@w7voa there are constant layoffs in the news, and no one I know has gotten any kind of raise of note this last year, so I’m not so sure about these economic metrics (as I look at the last grocery bill)

Unregulated business is b.s.
Suck up all the water cause a drought make millions the rich don’t care, #capitalism doesn’t have a safeguard.
Sorry that’s that evil #socialism & #regulation that prevents people from dying from thirst so a few people can have more yachts

@TheEuropeanNetwork #billionaires love to use their money to make more of it, even when that means tearing society apart and burning the skies

@Strandjunker I don’t think there are very many republicans on the fediverse, you will have to go on the platform formerly known as Twitter

@ClimateNewsNow meanwhile the 1st world is doing the shell game with “carbon credits” which is the modern version of the medieval church selling indulgences to the rich so they can sin guilt free

So #racism gone in America huh?
A black man was elected mayor of a majority black town in #Alabama and the white city council wouldn’t let him serve now he is suing, this is a crazy story, I have a feeling there are more like it out there.

Gotta love this article that is all head scratching about how food commodity prices are falling….but food prices for consumers aren’t going down.
Like gee whiz skippy, it’s because massive corporations have monopolies and they are just CHOOSING to jack up prices, look at the profits! Writing an article like this and not mentioning soaring profits of these companies is journalistic malpractice

@atomicpoet @darnell The mandated 3rd party FTC audit of Twitter in January to review compliance with the FTC order Twitter is supposed to be working under is going to be brutal. Twitter has been blatantly violated multiple requirements
