It’s not for us anymore, friend. They’ll milk the franchises we love until they’re just a husk, then dump it. Some upstart may revive it, but then it just gets put back into the cycle.

Welcome to pure greed capitalism; fuck you, pay me. Tomorrow is the next asshole’s problem.

No. You’re misinterpreting everything I wrote to suit your own narrative rather than even attempting to have a good faith discussion. Either that or your comprehension is actually that poor.

Either way; not my problem or job. Hope you have a blessed life.

You said that it’s liberal narrative, but somehow my liberal media is part of some bubble that reinforces the opposite?

NAFTA required better education to offset the jobs that would dissolve, the area I grew up in did invest in public schools and as a result I’m well educated and earn good money. I’ll let you figure out which areas decided education wasn’t an important investment.

You also missed me with the whole liberal thing, 100% independent. I’ve voted conservative, libertarian and liberal but in the past few election cycles a conservative vote equates to a reduction of freedom, rights, and general fucking sanity. Any vote for a conservative is a vote for team Trump at this point, and if you’re cool with that; fuck yourself traitor.

This is just so bizarre to me. Like what devilish teat are you suckling to get this narrative? Who’s saying this? I consume leftist media and this isn’t a message I’ve taken away at all, like seriously 0%.

This sounds an awful lot like “hey bro I heard what they were saying about you, totally fucked up and you should be so mad!” As in, they’re stirring the pot with cherry picked examples and rather than pulling your head out of their ass for a minute to get your bearing you’ve just inhaled smoke straight out of their buttholes and have fine to the conclusion the world smells like shit.

If it’s the economics that have you fucked up, and you’re not a 50+ year old furniture maker or coal miner; you’ve been fucked by the conservatives who’ve worked with moderate Dems to leave the middle class out to dry while crafting policy that only benefits corporations and the ultra wealthy.

Ah dang, that’s awesome!

Not how I row lol. I’m trying to get the maximum workout in minimal time. I used to put on nature documentaries and go for longer, slower rows but with a kid I need to be done as quickly as possible.

I’m from the Western US, they basically told us MLK delivered a banger speech, some people matched on DC and the country was cured of racism. We’re all 100% equal now!

Hearing my neighbor say “I’ve got nothing against black people, I just wanna own a few of em.” made me skeptical.

I’m making a statement about companies in general. People are just so willing to bend over and take it. In my mind people used to have more gumption, but I’m probably overestimating how much was individuals vs how the media portrayed things.

Feels like if Upton Sinclair released “the jungle” today we’d all collectively say “oh well, guess we’re eating rats and formaldehyde.”

So many people don’t understand this at all. China is still the same as when the tanks were rolling over college students.

There’s more and more people who feel just like you do. I’m so exhausted of all these companies being predatory and anti consumer. I’m the type to stand my ground and abstain or find alternatives, but it feels like there’s 5 people who don’t care and 4 people who will just let it go for every person willing to boycott bullshit.

It’s much easier to become president when your daddy was in charge of the CIA and then the president, and your brother is governor of a state you shouldn’t have won. You’re not a team leader in the factory because you don’t kiss enough ass and your dad wasn’t in a position to promote you past the point of failure.

This guy beefs like I beef, meaning it’s the correct beef!

Yup, this was me at a lunch table at work. Dudes were pulling the most repulsive stories about fucking another chick while their GF is doing XYZ or not washing between their side girl and main chick and i just couldn’t sit there. Pretended I got a notification and was like “whelp I got work to do, later!”

I get being a slut when you’re younger, I was, but why have a SO if you wanna fool around? Like why hurt someone?

I work in corporate retail in the USA. It’s generally acceptable if you’re out of the office on a business lunch. Cracking open a beer in the kitchen at lunch probably wouldn’t have any immediate consequences but you’re probably looking outside of the company for a promotion.
