This is the right meme for the class war.

It’s like the adventurer party that shows up at your keep in NWN1, looking for work.

How is progress on the Crazy Horse monument? I’ve swung by once a decade since I was a teen, but it’s been 11yrs since my last visit.

I only read the headline on that one.

Microsoft is now, essentially, a bag of dicks.

Yes. This was the prop up for Social Security, immigrants paying in but not collecting. It was quite brilliant. Pay your taxes, fund our elderly, and we’ll leave you be.

It’s about the shape of the people part of the economy, by age. If the elderly are too many in comparison to the young, social security collapses as does a larger part of the economy. Medical care. Caregivers. Families that simply take care of their elderly in lieu of “system” machinations managing care.

This isn’t me being birther about any of this issue, I’m just relating the primary economic argument regarding birth rates.

That said, if the donor class wants more babies, then they should be taking better care of the working class. As is, the donor class is squeezing us to death, for pennies.

Trump Derangement Syndrome, albeit the verbiage reads like it could just as easily apply to MAGA.

He’s desperately falling back on Obama and Hillary to distract from his pedophilic involvement with Epstein.

HCR is a national treasure. She’s on YouTube.

Fuck.

I can’t imagine where they’d find doctors and nurses to work these Trumpian facilities.

There aren’t enough psychiatrists and psychologists for the current job openings. Nurses are likely too marketable to work that type of job unless they’re so bad they’ve been rejected everywhere else.

Of note, prison is the #1 provider of mental health services in the USA. They can’t fill their psychiatry job openings either.

But this might be the plan. Forced rehab in for profit prisons.

This reads a bit like he wants a return of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, just without the lobotomies.

Extending involuntary commitment past “a danger to self or others” to include vagrancy is quite the stretch.

The current landscape of medical hospitals is such that involuntary psych holds are often boarding in a medical bed, using extra staff for closer obs for up to a year each, waiting for placement to a mental health bed. Empty mental health beds are rare. Even outpatient therapy is defunded, even in blue states.

Where does Trump think these people are going to be commuted to? Or is his plan to concentration camp them in places like the bedlam of yore?

Why September? If you’re announcing what you’re going to announce what is the point?

And now we have data centers sucking up all the tap water and electricity.

I would support a better version of this.

Deficit is a major piece. They talk about it and then invariably increase it every time.

RNC lowers taxes, technically, but only ever in a way that hurts working class. DNC leave it all as is, never changing the bottom line.

First draft meme, here.

I’m average height. The checkouts are so low, I have to bend a bit to set down items or pack. There’s no counter space for packing a bag, like at Aldi. Instead it’s this low, low carousel wheel of bags that means bend/straighten for each item, heavy or otherwise. The top of the bag carousel is at the height needed for comfortable packing.

Some locations do not provide bags, you have to wait for the attendant to get one or call for one, depending.

The only place I’ve been in set up to bag items properly and without back strain is Aldi.

Some locations show a monitor of you on screen, being recorded, so you feel like a criminal just being anywhere near a self checkout. Bad vibes.

If you’re there for a bag of brown sugar or a carton of half and half self checkout makes sense.

I’ve used scanners outside of this retail environment and I know how to pack both a vehicle and a box well. But the awkward height, shape, configuration of self checkout and its bags or lack thereof turns me into a fingerless, blind man trying to use a calculator.

I have my old Speak & Spell. It still works.

He’s lost it in this point. Beyond the usual.

No. Matthew Crooks went after him because of his suspicion of Trump being in the Epstein Files.

Rosie was brought by Trump, in association with a heinously treasonous idea, to distract from Trump’s association with the Epstein Files.

Distraction is Trump’s preferred tool when he’s scared or grifting.
