It's an apt metaphor. We're gonna have to rebuild the whole government after we get rid of him and his fascistii regardless.

I've been restarting my business again after an ADHD crash out 5-ish years ago. Things have been going pretty good.

Last week I dropped a couple balls, and got a stern talking to.

It's been four days and all I want to do is curl up, cry about it, and quit everything.

I think I need therapy.

"Sir, regarding all of that 'corrupt behavior,' I think I have a target for your investigation.

"Do you own a mirror?"

Because you've been looking at this guy your entire life.

Nothing is stopping him. That's the whole point.

Re: Their own incompetence.

So, they're assuming Elon was acting in good faith?

Bad people to be in charge of SURVIVAL. Their end game is "everyone dies."

So glad we can count on the lying, cheating, Nazi-saluting, opponent of the "woke mind virus" to do the right thing.

Billionaires are what's wrong with the world. You don't get to suggest solutions, even if you would otherwise be correct.

Well, it's been a decade, and no one has stopped, or significantly punished him, for doing whatever the fuck he wants so far. So until somebody stops him, I vote "Be wary. But be very, very angry."

And fascism is just appreciation of a Roman axe.

Communities.

Gather your people around you (metaphorically), and look out for each other.

Not only does this create the best position to protect one another, come what may, it means have a pre-organized group that can mobilize when the opportunity arises (protests, future elections, etc.).

"Special K, take me away!"

The idea that ignorance is something they can force on their own children, and are trying to force on others', is a true abomination.

Inchoate hug.

I found out a my dad voted for Trump. I know he's more conservative than me, and Christian, but he's always been decent, and human, and as far as I know, he still is.

He volunteers. He built houses for Habitat (same as Carter) long after he retired.

I don't understand how he doesn't get it.

Don't forget, "and sell that data to anyone willing to pay," which absolutely includes agents for the Chinese, Russian, Saudi Arabian, and all othe governments, both allied and hostile.
