Lol, Edith and Mildred are literally my grandmothers’ names. Edith is a badass and just turned 99.

I can only speak about the US, but sadly, the unhoused die of hunger, preventable disease, and exposure all the time here. And unemployment does not cover a 1 bedroom apartment in major cities, nor does it qualify you for the outrageous requirements of most leases. You may be right about the status of the poor in the EU though.

They eat cleaner food and have more amenities than a King, but they certainly don’t live better. The point of the article is that the rising tide is floating a few boats wayyyy higher than the rest, and the overall growth does not justify the fact that people still die of hunger, get evicted while working multiple jobs, fall ill and are saddled by medical dept for life (US only), and shit like that.

I’m actually surprised at how little they spend on lobbying, even with the recent uptick. It must be the other thing, you know, our representatives are shareholders.

That’s stupid. Metal is fun, and Nazis don’t own it, nor can they take it away from the vast majority of good people who play it and enjoy it. It has a bad rap from Satanic panic era bible-thumpers.

You wanna ban classical music? The OG Nazis loved that shit.

Just research the bands you like.

Wait, why? Is the TV spying on me any more than my phone, every app I use, my desktop OS, every website I visit, all of my smart home devices, my car, my bank, traffic cameras, and my bottom left molar?

Can’t I just slap a PiHole on my home network and pretend I’ve done something about it?

Does that actually factor in? Or do you just prefer the company of dogs? Seems like a pretty irrational fear if you ask me.

I bet they’re always on your lawn too

I spilled a half cup of 175F water on my hand and got blisters. You absolutely cannot bathe in it.

It’s entitled of YOU too think that the land, plants, wildlife, and ecology these creatures have lived off of for millennia belong to you. We all share a planet, it’s not up to humans to be the arbiters of who can have what and how much and at what time etc etc .

Cats may not be sapient animals, but they are sentient.
