Yeah loooooots of people wouldn’t survive

I wouldn’t survive long with my poor eyesight. Maybe I’d create tools or something. Love tinkering.

Everybody’s working for the weekend oligarchs!

Great song

Imagine having children

And childcare eats 20%+ of your income

And your local government has made it illegal to terminate pregnancies

Nor will they support you after the baby is born

Grab your bootstraps youngin!

Unfortunately, borrowing money is way too easy compared to how hard it is to pay it off. The snap comes at the regular person’s expense and lenders just get bailed out. Then they guilt you into feeling bad for being poor so you buy things to make you feel like you’re not poor and the cycle continues.

Yall been taking the bait for years. Dems succeed on your fears. Why would they eliminate them?

There we go

Is it a whole series or AI gen? Why only seeing it now?

Allegiances always flip flopping throughout history. Nothing new.

Im not old but general lack of energy compared to when I was younger. Likely a symptom of both age and more responsibilities. And this pain in my leg I’ve had for months.

You’re telling me to kill myself? And you’re getting upvotes? Lemmy has changed. Then again, Lemmy has always had a hard-on for politicians. Enjoy the circlejerk.

That’s the silliest thing I’ve heard in a while

I think the rates of ethical people across the two are the same. Just have to relate the politicians to the same ranking as a CEO/board member.

Why aren’t we seeing this type of energy towards politicians? They’re the ones making the laws that companies exploit.

It’s symbiotic

The millionaires/billionaires are just sharks in the ocean of capitalism and politicians nurture the conditions to make it possible for them to eat. Unfortunately, politicians feed off of the sharks in true capitalist fashion. Why are lawmakers allowed to trade stocks?

Politicians are the only ones that can really make change outside of driving sharks to extinction.

Majority of Lemmy would not give money to homeless people. That’s crazy. No empathy for the poor.

Being poor isn’t hot right now. Only Gaza, trans and abortions.

My opinion is no. They can then use it to buy drugs or alcohol, which is unfortunately likely.

Maybe you could donate to some homeless shelter?
Or maybe, you could try asking if you could buy them some food instead.

EDIT: this was a test. This comment is a copy of an original comment on this post. This copy received 90% downvotes while the original received 36% downvotes. This is evidence that the majority of Lemmy would not give money to help a homeless person despite being an ultra liberal (democrat, not leftist) social media platform. Hmm…

Just think about what you said. How does that make any sense? The reason we exist is because our ancestors chose violence. Name any place in the world that didn’t have to protect themselves with violence.

The reason the recent generations in developed countries have been protected from violence is because of past violence, the threat of future violence, and current proxy violence.

Violence is just a natural part of our world, even at the cellular level.
