They absolutely know they can be heard. You just have to tell him that it isn't cool and that you don't want to hear it.

I feel called out.

They were never actually serious. They wanted to fleece Ukraine and still let Russia take it over.

Being poor is suffering. ~~to them~~

In this country, being poor is or leads to suffering. That is a hard rule that applies to all, not just "them". It is how the system keeps us rats on the treadmill.

When you are poor you also have little to no agency over your own life. You are at the mercy of just about everything.

This is my wife and I. Worse is the fact that we both started our lives dirt poor. The first place we lived together in had a literal hole in the wall and rats in the laundry room, but we only paid $275/month for it. We skipped meals, and all around struggled to survive, but we were young. Being young and full of energy, we had hope that we could and would be able to work our way up. Thirty years later we are wealthy, but the fear that we don't have enough and we'll spend our last days back in that misery and wishing to die is unbearable.

If the dollar tanks and a lifetime of struggle and misery proves pointless, I'm not waiting around for a slow death in a wretched "life".

The photo on the right is by far the cuter one.

Video from More Perfect Union.

In Brownsville, Texas, one of the poorest communities in America, Elon Musk sold hope for the town to climb out of stagnation into growth. Instead, SpaceX has caused earthquakes, rampant workplace injuries, skirted regulations, threatened wildlife, and displaced local communities, while securing millions in corporate welfare. We went to Texas in January, just as SpaceX was gearing up for the seventh launch of its Starship, and this is what we unraveled.

I apologize if this is old news, but I just noticed it. It looks like Kagi has added Fediverse Forums as a default Web search option.
