Because wherever there are people with power, there are those who will do ANYTHING to gain access to that power. When there’s no mechanism to FORCE those with power to over the law, then they won’t, and their cronies will be insulated to some degree from consequences. Enough people (Congress) who could force consequences are the ones benefiting from Trump’s corruption and could suffer negative consequences for turning against Trump. A lot of those guys are very old and extremely unlikely to suffer consequences if the following administration is also Republican. It’s a big ugly tangle and unless somebody is willing to just arrest the Orange Jackass and all his ghouls, nothing will change.

Honestly it’d probably help me relax for a change.

You should have started prepping to leave when the problems started. IDK anything about your line of work, but most jobs are basically the same at the social level. Find a place that has a good vibe.

Because the situation, demographics, pool of potential candidates, interest groups, organizations, and economics of NYC do not reflect the rest of the country. It doesn’t even reflect the whole of New York State. For example, the DNC forced Hilary onto the presidential ticket despite greater popular support for Bernie.

When one or more factors conspire in any given environment, results can be dra drastically different than if they were in a different environment.

Great, sounds terrible. Now where the hell is Fallout 5?

Hmm how about you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself.

Fools and their money are soon parted - over and over again if they’re Tesla fanboys.

I expect that everyone there has seen this coming for ages now.

Hey Suckerberg, how’s “the future of the Internet” working out for ya?

It’s the same kind of sadness that I feel knowing that a ton of YouTubers who would rather not show their face now have to just so that people know that they’re not a fucking clanker. Especially if they’re new at it and don’t have a backlog or community to prove that they’ve been around longer than the AI slop.

Jouisiana.

More like Taxachusetts.

My fiance has a ton of food allergies. The rare grocery drops for us are at the Woodman’s.

Oh hey it’s my old buddy Squiggly! I hope it’s doing okay.

How about fuck you Jeff.

There is no God and hell is earth.

It doesn’t need to be good to be popular. Now let’s dust off and nuke the smurfs from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

You can be less bad without being good. Hell has levels, after all.

I thought leche was milk?

I’m smudged and illegible, probably because I’m disgusted that people can be like this.
