Texas has been GOP governed for nearly 30 years.

The “please tread all over me” state.

Take action on my behalf? Absolutely not. Go fuck yourself AI.

A figurative decimation.

Sure, but it’s the difference between a few who are able to pierce the veil of their indoctrination, vs a large majority who retain the early childhood conditioning through the rest of their lives. If nothing else, it creates a steady dissonance that ultimately only serves to make life and/or living feel less innately enjoyable and more like livestock in a predatory system from which we cannot escape. All so that the same small group of ultra rich can further their wealth and influence.

If we had a functioning government, they would have regulated the corporate landscape decades ago, but instead we’ve all been forced to labor under and increasing marginalization, while the ROI of our efforts yields less and less. Hardly seems sustainable.

Every industry should have unions that actively work to dismantle owner authoritarianism, but for 40 years Boomers have been paving the way for every awful piece of shit “business owner” to have some idolized place at the top of our society. And of course, the knock-on effect of that over time is that the pieces of shit have carved into the legislative and political arenas that provided even a modicum of worker/commoner protections. The digital divide is just a coefficient on the slippery slope.

Greenwashing is a fraud.

This guy is single-handedly reversing the trajectory of nerd bullying.

Well, the free market would dictate that they should go out of business then.

Shitty companies don’t deserve to continue as going concerns if they continue to be shitty companies.

They took the money and gave it to the Sheriff’s department.

A couple hundred years ago, they probably had very effective ways to deal with people who willfully failed their duties like this.
