Imagine thinking it is a good thing to get rid of free public broadcasting and putting tariffs on shows and movies not filmed within the United States lol.

My radical thought is that property taxes are a scam. I buy my home and land. Pay off the mortgage and continue to pay taxes on my property. If I don't pay the taxes you take it from me. Even though I bought it, paid off the loan, and "own" it. It makes it seem more like I am leasing my property.

If you are poorly educated you are less likely to travel, less likely to obtain work in another country, less likely to start a business, less likely to "climb the ladder", less likely to ask critical questions, less likely to think independently.

So, why would our government

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Having a parent in the early stages of dementia is hard. Today I told my mom three times I work until 3pm. And she asked if I was home before 3pm and I had to tell her again that no I am at work. She used to remember *everything* it was impossible to get anything past her.

This stuff with the stock market is starting to look like market manipulation.

I really don't know what they think they will do about all the jobs that are going to be left vacant after all this bullshit with immigration.

Musk is involved with the current administration while donating money to campaigns and is literally providing a significant financial incentive for voters to align with what he wants you to vote for is so incredibly corrupt. I don't understand. Like this descend into fascism is insane.

I hate that i saw this coming. I hate that i am working class during the rise of authoritarianism. I hate that this is the charismatic leader. Wtf man.

Things I will never understand:

Why universal Healthcare is bad.
Why universal pre-k-12 education is bad.
Why bodily autonomy is bad (medical decision making)
Why drilling and de-foresting tribal lands is good
Why erasing American history is good

I am sure this list will get longer.

This is what happens when you tell a meglomaniac he is immune from consequences as the acting POTUS. Thanks SCOTUS.

It's convenient that the government is targeting People who appear to be middle eastern. Bunch of bullshit

Life is so messy

I realistically think I am not built for the hustle. Tried it for the last like....16 years and decided that it isn't for me. I am built to live in the woods or highlands or whatever and to forage and farm. Work from home and tend to my land kind of life.

How do I convince @davidfarrier.bsky.social that he should visit Pittsburgh and experience yinzer culture?

It's interesting that I am getting targeted ads on my meta apps for immigration to Canada? Lol. What.

I am sure climate change isn't convenient for t*rump and m*usk but just because it isn't convenient doesn't mean it isn't true. It feels like they see earth as a throw away because "colonize mars" but it isn't like 8 billion people can just up and move. This is just don't look up.

Really glad people making over $700k just got a tax cut of $62k annually. Now we ruin our infrastructure instead of taxing the wealthy!

If DEI policies go away....does the electoral college also go away?

When a political leader who is residing in a war zone doesn't wear a suit. It doesn't mean fuck all. If he did wear a nice suit they would say shit about appropriation of funds. There is no way to talk about this because they will never be happy with the answer. For fucks sake.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.
