  • I’m not smart, but the first thing would be to pull whatever lever in the war powers act reigns in the president and stop the fucking Iran war.

    Next impeach motherfuckers.

    Depending on how much of a majority, look at passing laws that are veto-proof and actually do things like cap student loan payments, add back the SNAP funding, and maybe actually force the EPA/FDA/FCC/other captured agencies to not tear down their own organizations.

    But I’m sure the best we’ll get is a strongly worded letter from Schumer.










  • Did I say comfortable?

    I said keep my family house and fed. I’m already dodging parasite lettuce and massive food recalls, paying a sizable amount of my paychecks to rent and gas.

    None of this shit is currently comfortable.

    And you (or the original person I replied to) are saying, yeah, fuck your kids and your spouse and dog. Go throw yourself on the fire of REVOLUTION.

    (Also, we had to cancel Netflix and most eveything else to actually afford to live, so that’s fun.)

    We’re not different, but I don’t see myself or other Americans telling the nebulous “you” to go throw yourself off the precipice for god and country.



  • I mentioned Europe because places like France have their protest game on point. (grills mounted on tram tracks for making burgers while protesting? Genius.)

    And yes, our labor rights (not much anymore as they are) were paid in blood. I remember learning about the Triangle Waistcoat Factory as a kiddo.

    But I take issue with saying “slight discomfort” when referring to keeping my family housed and fed. Most Americans are living not just paycheck to paycheck but have zero significant savings to weather a medical emergency (or an open ended strike).

    And the only alternative party to the current administration isn’t offering options like, “if you all just wait it out for a few months, we can take back the House/Senate/Presidency, pass UBI, help you get your money and financial stability back… Oh and pad SCOTUS so some fucker in a red state doesn’t sue to undo all this relief”.

    You have to understand. This shit is bleak. We are clawing on to the only thing we have because there is nobody coming to save us, and we cannot save ourselves.


  • Listen pal, nearly every American is a slave to their day job(s) - especially given the massive uptick in living expenses over the last year/months.

    If I “strike” and refuse to show up for my second shift at Winn-Dixie, all that will happen is I lose my sub-30 hour a week job, and someone else gets their prayers answered for more shifts (offsetting their cost of living a sliver) while I get to have Mr Ulcer come back over concerns about how I’ll feed my family.

    I’m not saying a nation wide stoppage wouldn’t have an impact - but this nation is geographically massive compared to your average European country. There is no social safety net outside of if someone is lucky enough to be in a defanged union.

    Calling for general strikes in this way feels like an oil exec saying I should use paper straws/recycle to save the environment while they are boiling the ocean.





  • Okay, so having done some data center work in my time - how are you going to have robots do things like rack and plug in servers? Troubleshoot physical motherboards for issues?

    Most DCs I’ve worked in are packed to the hills with racks, not many were standardized or logically laid out. If zuck wants to have his data centers built from the ground up with robots in mind, maybe this could work. But dumping them in existing places would be super challenging.

    Oh, and I’ve never seen a dc like the post picture. That’s waaaaaay too much inefficiently utilized floorspace.
