An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Lotta people making the case that MAGA is not working class exactly.
I suspect that (at minimum) whatever sympathy for the poor the uneducated small business owning/forces working/etc right wing demographic might otherwise have, that's *definitely* 100% accurate for those people.

lol you'll never convince me a huge part of the reluctance isn't that there's no legal way to make UBI white-only.
Lotta white people in this country are happy to lose as long as nobody Black or brown wins.

I wish more people didn't get mad because "why can't I have $1000 a month for nothing!"
And instead went "why not universal basic income?"

The GG association have decided that the power of wealth, not the courts, is to large to burden for them to bare.
The very concept of trans kids in their organisation has been sold to avoid a cost.
Fuck them.

Like, it's still complying in advance! It's a legal threat from a parent, but not a legal ruling from a judge, y'know?

Yolo often stands with his little back toes crossed, which I find ridiculously cute!
You can see vultures don't have bulky feet and talons built for grasping/carrying like other raptors. Their more chicken-like feet are meant for bracing on food to pull at it with their powerful beaks, instead.

I cannot stress enough that requiring all activity to be linked to a concentration personal info only makes an extortion kit for bad actors.
