Empathy has it’s price, and it’s far less than even a billion dollars, let alone hundreds of billions.

What gets me is that socialism and communism are totally different things. They’re different means to a similar goal of an end.

There’s still systematic racism with America. That being said, everyone’s quality of life other than the uber rich has gone down noticeably. That’s part of the reason populist lies from Trump work so well.

Reddit removed a picture of 3 people standing around a cybertruck from the front page today because it “went against community guidelines”

People in the military are less likely to disobey corrupt orders as long as they come from the correct chain of command.

Power comes from a politically consolidated military. The larger the military the greater the reigns of power become.

Everyone will have a slightly different understanding and perception of centrism. That goes for all words and ideas. Conversation is so vital because it helps us iron out the differences.

Without laws in place there would be slaveowners today. Jeff Bezos? Elon Musk? They’d own slaves if they could.

Someone living in Palestine, someone living in Israel, and someone directly working with Hamas are all going to have their own perceptions and opinions on Hamas.

Hamas is going to mean many different things to those 3 different individuals.

I hope his story skips to the ending. Preferably live streamed to twitter.

Nah, elons actions and behaviors are justification plenty.

I’m convinced everyone on Lemmy works IT

Most of Palestinians are under the age of 18. Basically telling a bunch of kids he’s going to kill them.

I know people that have had to take an Uber instead of an ambulance because of the costs.

You know what hilarious?

There’s a sub minimum wage in America for people that earn tips (minimum of 30$ in tips a month), youths, and the disabled.

Sub minimum wage is a whopping 2.13$

Wealth is just the hoarding of imaginary credits representing the hours of other people’s work.

“When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money.”

Destruction of our society and pollution of our only Earth for paper strips.
