    I counter the hypothetical with an actual reality!

    The current rate of resource consumption by the human race guarantees complete and total collapse of anything resembling todays human society within the next 50 years, followed by a near extinction level population crash.

    The surviving societies would then have no way left to re-enter the industrial age, as all easily accessible natural resources were mined out long ago, and they would lack the technology needed to access deeper veins/wells/etc.

    This is not hypothetical, this is actually going to happen and humanity has said “we don’t give a shit”. This is not doomerism, this is proven scientific fact.

    Climate scientists have been screaming and shouting about this for decades trying to get anyone to listen. We are way way way too late to stop it now.

    Might as well enjoy some bluefin tuna before they go extinct too.

    All big companies are degrading in the same way.

    Teams cut down to 25% staffing with critical support roles sunsetted instead of backfilled. Revenue demands increasing quarter over quarter. Budgets declining. Profits higher than ever before, beating earnings by over 50% quarter over quarter 2 quarters in a row.

    Mistakes costing more and more money, sucking up more labor to fix that is already spread thin. I’m the project lead on half a dozen projects ranging from $100k to $1.6m in capital expense each, simultaneously, by myself.

    My role is not designed for project work. It’s supposed to be routine maintenance and operations. Which I’m also doing.

    The entire corporate world is about to eat shit and reap what they’ve sown. And stocks will be higher than ever before.

    The Western world is in free collapse, yall. Hope you realize and prepare accordingly before those funny TikToks of homeless people you watch have you in them.

    Welcome to the endgame of capitalism.

    The very wealthy are also petulant little pigs who clad themselves in designer clothing, diamonds, and gold. Who literally clutch pearls and hiss at minorities. Who support genocides and drive drunk on public roads after their racist little evening gatherings.

    Let’s stop pretending these ghouls are valid human beings. Entire Royal families have been terminated for having less relative wealth to the workers than todays ruling class.


  • Dockworkers are notoriously one of the most nepotistic and corrupt labor groups besides cops. I feel like this is lost on a ton of city/white collar folks when they act like these are angels. They’ll drive straight through active hazmat cleanup zones spreading that shit everywhere in port and not give a single shit all while making $100 an hour.

    …and I would still rather those Trump supporting lifted truck driving fucks get the money rather than these shipping companies that, miraculously, are even more corrupt and nepotistic than the workers.

    Unfortunately it applies to US imperial colonies as well. South Korean white collar workers will pay about $400-800 a month for health insurance, same as Americans.

    Good thing Dems have dropped M4A from their platform!

    Now that can’t be, I received word from a liberal on this very platform that the US didn’t send them $24 billion in weapons, they actually only sent $20 billion therefore the genocide is back on the menu!

    Sometimes I wonder if liberals even feel cognitive dissonance at being the same MAGA chuds they claim to hate so much.

    Ah wait, if they did, they wouldn’t be liberals!

    This is an incredibly American attitude. The appliance clearly has a commonly occurring misuse that puts consumers at risk of burning their neighborhood down.

    It would be a trivial addition to put a physical deadman’a switch on the bottom, exactly like what space heaters use.

    The role of government and regulation is to serve and protect the people. I cannot believe you are unironically advocating that corporations should just put out whatever dangerous products they want with no repercussions just because there is one specific way to use it “correctly”.

    Nevermind the million things that could happen. Cat knocks it over. Disabled or elderly person? Stoned college kid? Child?

    I guess it’s all about pErSoNaL rEsPoNsiBilItY when it benefits you, and all about collectivism when it only benefits you huh?
