We really need Jesus to expel these money changers imho I think we have better chance of the second coming happening before the parasites in power do something like that.
combined with a lack of seasonal monsoons, have caused saguaro cactuses at the Desert Botanical Garden to become “highly stressed,”
I'm sure the heat is fucking them up, but this is seeping with click bait. The Monsoons are coming . I'm expecting it to be violent. Also, I have no idea wtf I'm talking about. Why are we still trying to live in a dessert? Yeah, I put in an extra s for everyone talking about cacti
Yes, I’m 100% certain that the retailers who have been increasingly price gouging us for the last 2 years will immediately pass the savings on to the consumer, just as they did in 2010.
“In 2010, lawmakers passed the Durbin amendment as part of the Dodd-Frank Act, which sought to tighten financial regulation in the wake of the 2008 economic crisis. The amendment was supposed to cause a trickle-down savings effect, where merchants would pass along debit card processing savings to customers in the form of lower prices for their goods and services.
But a 2015 survey conducted by the Richmond Federal Reserve found the Durbin amendment did little to lower costs for consumers and merchants. Just 1.2% of the surveyed merchants reduced prices, and 11.1% said their debit card processing costs declined. Nearly one-third of respondents reported even higher debit card swipe fees, according to the survey.“
I used to consider myself moderate but the Republicans have shifted so far right that there is no way I can vote for any of them in good conscience. Even if one seems somewhat okay, I don’t trust them not to diantle all of the best things about our government.
It seems that the republican agenda has simply become one of “how much money can we make if we hurt people in new and creative ways?” If they ever get full control of the government again, they are going to ruin this country.
They would do away with the clean water act in an instant if they could. I swear, the only time they “think of the children” is when they’re salivating over the profits to be gained from rising cancer rates due to lax environmental regulation.

Close. The only time they “think of the children” is when they’re salivating over the profits to be gained by repealing child labor laws. I wish this was just a joke, but it’s actually part of their platform now. They’re trying to fast track us back to the worst aspects of the industrial revolution.
I disagree. I mean, I agree, but they also think of the children constantly. Otherwise how else could they constantly sexualize, groom, and abuse them? Right wingers protest too much on this topic. Their leadership is awash in pedophiles. So are their rank and file. Their churches are child rape factories regardless of denomination or geographic location or size.
I guess it does go hand in hand with their entire idea of stripping protections and rights from children so they can be used like objects and thrown away when they’ve been used up/grown up.
From an European point of view, the Democrates cannot be viewed as moderate since they are so far right. Now guess what we think of the Republicans.
Their main party line isn’t quite nazi germany yet (though their right-wing totally is). But they nicely fit in line with the precursour governments like e.g. Austrofaschism.
Yah it’s not consumer demand. It’s the greedy ass fatsuits pushing for rushing and understaffing.
Plus I don’t remember asking hollywood to hurry up. UPS, sure it’d be nice to get my package earlier, but not at the cost of the delivery guy’s mental health
I was just coming in to say the same thing. Don’t get me wrong, I think the average consumer’s desire for speed and convenience above everything else (including ethics) is a problem, but that is completely separate from these industries posting record profits (even after adjusting for inflation) yet still paying and treating their workers for/like shit.
That’s right. That speed and convenience is already there, happening because of the workers who wake up every day and make the world happen.
But writers, directors, and actors (among others) receiving no (or comically small, like literal cents) for residuals because industry suit-wearing parasites created a looophole in streaming such that payment is not required? That’s a big reason for those media strikes. Among many other abuses such as trying to replace people with “AI” which only benefits the people who don’t work and contribute to society.
If every rich bastard acting as shareholder disappeared tomorrow, the world would continue on. But a strike is really making people get bent out of shape because they are slightly inconvenienced as people fight for fair wages and treatment. That tells you who is really important I guess.
We need to break up all media and scatter it to the winds. I know it won’t happen, but it needs to happen. It all acts as a propaganda network for their billionaire owners protecting their own class to our detriment.
Russia is a European colonial power that still has most of its empire. That this guy is so happy to frame Russia as anti-colonialist speaks volumes about his motivations
It’s always what fascists do; they try to co-opt our movements, ideologies, and language. Always. That’s why American Republicans constantly try to grab onto our phrases. Most recently with “two track Justice system” when some of their foul spawn started to be held accountable for crimes. Leftists say two track because the rich get protected by the courts while the workers get fucked.

That commitment, with no details, follows Putin’s promise to start shipping 25,000 to 50,000 tons of grain for free to each of six African nations in the next three to four months — an amount dwarfed by the 725,000 tons shipped by the U.N. World Food Program to several hungry countries, African and otherwise, under the grain deal.
Jesus, 725,000 tons compared to 50, it’s no wonder African Nations are not at all happy
Also it should be noted that only a handful of African leaders went, as opposed to back in 2019. African Nations are well aware it seems that backing Russia is a bad idea
I just wish they’d kick out China next, both Russia and China have had a terrible influence on Africa and have kept them in bondage for decades.
