Income cap should be around a million wealth a billion, maybe.

@QasimRashid
"Trump shot by wokeness" was always going to be the story.

@AnarchoNinaWrites
It's BlueAnon all over again...

@aral
It also screwed me over because it doesn't record audio!

@liztai

41!?!??!? Yooooooo! Good luck out there...

@liztai

Ah! I didn't know about Water Margin. Thanks!

It looks like they are both adaptations of the same classic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Men_Are_Brothers:_Blood_of_the_Leopard

@liztai

I remember an old movie called "All Men are Brothers/Blood of the Leopard" is the show related to that?

@danhulton

I thought they had a legal, fiduciary responsablity to their shareholders, no?

@MartyFouts @danhulton

That's a good point. And the argument that the only common interest of shareholders is maximizing profits falls down in the face of something like climate change.

@jeffowski

Talk about a Dad joke... This thing came over on the gd Mayflower.

@liztai

Lol! Where I'm from it's very common slang for "lame/stupid/crazy/dumb!"

@liztai

wdym? It looks good! Or does "whack" as an adjective mean "good" over there?

@liztai

That is nearly the essence of what it means to be civilized and free.

@liztai

By American standards I am hard left, but I'm not crazy and I don't like fighting about it.

That also makes me a total alien to the American media landscape (social or otherwise) who only has time for people who are simple and loud. So yeah, you get tons of people like all your friends who think whatever they think for whatever reason and mostly keep their heads down.

@liztai

It's also that, as a lefty American, I am obliged to never think it's cancel culture. So it's interesting to entertain the notion, especially with an outside perspective.

@liztai

That's interesting. Is that what it looks like from over there?

@liztai

I'm glad to hear that. Being in a group who shares jokes like that as a real sign of trust can make up for a whole lot.

That's the thing I find about American stress. Because it is so constant and so personal it becomes very corrosive and dissolves the kinds of bonds and good humor that would make up for most of our...eccentricities.

@liztai

.... :(

Seems kind of inadequate, but I'm not sure what else to say except that that is total bullshit and you shouldn't have to put up with that.
