    I’m thinking about how many man-hours and tax dollars go toward status symbols rather than humans.

      oof that’ll leave you miserable.

      similarly, the coal rollers: they pay extra to modify their shitwagons to intentionally run BADLY, inefficiently, so they spew clouds of partially combusted fuel. their children and grandchildren will all suffer for every time these things roll down the block. and they don’t care, they think gas costs too much (!?) as they cash their social security checks.

      future generations will despise our society.

        God I swear the cognitive dissonance of people who chose huge vehicles and then complain about gas prices. we know, that’s why we are more efficient in our travel

        Current generations despise our society. It’s just a matter of despising it enough to want our leader’s heads on pikes.

      • I still cannot fucking believe the culture war has gone so far as to make people do this and think the ‘own the libs’ by doing so. Absolutely insane society you go there, America. Guess it’s the logical conclusion of destroying public education

        Not miserable. I’ve accepted this is what it is and am prodding my brain for workable solutions since activation is spotty, at best. Looking for ways to achieve this, beyond activation, which is still the best shot, but with so few unable or unwilling, what can be added to mobilization/bodies on the streets?

          yeah, hard to show up when it’s 3 other people confronted by 200 cops. but I think the public is slowly waking up to the fucktocracy it’s in. hang in there.
