I don't know about you but for me a way I found to start doing stuff again was stop thinking of them as products. That idea was so ingrained in my brain, even if it was not really conscious of it that turned pretty much anything I enjoyed into work.

The worst ad I saw in SF was one asking people to not shower so often in order to save water

i've said this before, but americans are entitled customers because customer is our only role in life where others care about our wants and needs

we get stepped on as workers, as students, as tenants. only as a customer do we experience any respect or consideration

You want to democratize "going to therapy"? Make it "free" as in paid by socialized healthcare. You want to democratize "making art"? Give people money and free time to express themselves.

Ok

What is the flood supposed to mean here?
I'm an immigrant myself

I think by working class, they just mean the aesthetics of it and nothing else

I think the reason for this is that for these people looking like a nazi is worst than being one
