Rig them with remote controls, and then hold a competition. Each contest, different winning conditions and course are used. Month 1, modify the cars with weapons and duke it out. The next, a marathon where the car with the most distance is the victor, the third a destruction derby, and so forth.

It would be way more fun than a Mr. Beast show, I tell ya.

Personally, I don’t mind doing an reasonable amount of work - it can be cathartic like exercise or give a sense of purpose. The problem is, the employers want people to be like hamsters on a wheel, driven to exhaustion and then disposed of for the next rodent to be worked to death.

Workers are being abused - ghost jobs, inconsiderate scheduling, impossible requirements, no overtime pay, manipulation, and so forth has corroded the social contract. At some point, there is just no point in working.

I belong there, as would many other people, if society was willing to treat us fairly.

I think that if a new style of government is created, free transport and fuel should be an universal right. The government just lends a basic small car for free to people. Once that person buys a fancier car, the rental is returned to the government to be loaned out to someone else in need. Bus passes and passenger rail is free.

This greases the wheel of economy, along with easing pressure on people.

The more time Trump spends puking into a toilet, the less time he can spare for signing executive orders. I consider that a win.

“…Stupidity, Phobia, Greed, Wrath, and Traditional Values…from your powers combined, I am Captain Conservative!”

Trump is certainly trickling a golden shower upon humanity. The guy is an ass, and will tell us to thank him for the opportunity to eat the few rancid seeds found in his shit.

America and the UK, together they show the world what not to do. Conservatism and oligarchs are poisons that kill civilizations.

Programs like SNAP are up next. The time to eating the rich is nigh upon us.

I would like that. Reminds me of that time when 16 Russian admirals bit the dust due to their grift…

Tupolev-104 Folk Song

…honestly, I kinda want one.

I am kinda hoping that Grand Theft Aviation happens, with AOC and Bernie leading Free America from those two jets.

If America goes to war with Mexico, I think may very well have Cartel forces stalking Republicans in Texas. We live in a world of possibilities, ones that shouldn’t have been plausible even a year ago.

I think the way to resolve this is a holiday window for voting. The workers schedule 4 days of the week for work, then the remaining 3 days are paid holidays. The worker selects which days of that holiday week are best for them. If they don’t vote, their company is fined an amount double to the worker’s weekly pay.

Yup. Apparently the same gold bar from Costco was about $2k a year ago. I have been doomspending as of late, stocking on stuff and renovating, since I don’t believe in the American Dollar anymore. Up to a year ago, I was seriously trying to develop my wealth, slowly but steadily, expecting to cash out in a couple decades.

Now…well, what is the point? The death rattle of our institutions makes it clear that there is no good future to rely upon.

For me, Euros. I am aligned with the concept of democracy and civil rights, so it feels natural to participate with their economy. Plus, they have an ocean dividing them and US, so they have a bit of insulation when our streets start being painted red.

Mind, I am also tempted to drop about $3k for a gold bar from CostCo.

If we get a new Theodore and Franklin as our presidents, that certainly would be preferable. Unfortunately, I have the feeling that isn’t happening. Unlike those days of yore, we got a president who wants to be king, and cares not who else has to pay the price for it.

That would certainly resolve the Trump problem.

It is one of the reasons why a civil war would actually do America good: for security’s sake, the non-fascist side would have to overhaul their systems.

This is the stupidest timeline, that the best solution to a problem lines up with social armageddon.
