They got your money. They don’t care where you store them. They don’t even care if they kill your daughter. They only oppose safe storage because they know the extra upfront cost will lose them sales.

Just look at it through the lens of “would this increase or decrease the profits of the gun lobby?” and everything falls into place.

I understand the sentiment, but I’m tired of settling for “good” when “significantly better” is just there.

They also may have run the numbers and decided that social media teaches more kids to accept people regardless of race, gender, sexuality or neurotypicality than it trains to be far-right xenophobic dogshit.

It’s because they’re lying.

I’m sure you know that the words that come out of their mouth are worthless because of actions like this but for some reason, millions of people politely accept it.

They’re never going to admit out loud “We just use freedom of speech to shame people out of deplatforming far-right extremists, we don’t actually believe in it” or “We know the second amendment will never be used to overthrow a tyrant and we fully intend to be tyrants. We support it because it brings in $16 million a year in bribes and gains us millions of supporters who will tolerate literally anything except domestic abusers not having guns”.

Every abuser has an excuse and it’s never “I just really enjoy abusing people”.

It’s good, but its offering crumbs to people who are starving. Overdraft fees were extremely predatory and we’re being promised that after decades of that, maybe it will be reigned in, if we’re lucky.

Meanwhile, the fucking world is ending.

Class solidarity is drilled into rich white kids from the moment they’re born. He might be orange and dumb as dogshit but he remains a member of the rich white guy club.
