Amateur photographer. Mostly I take photos of birds, but also stuff that isn’t birds. Don’t steal my photos.

Having effectively unlimited resources and the unbreakable power and control over the rest of us that comes with it sounds pretty elite to me.

He said some workers are forced to go to food banks because they cannot afford to buy groceries.

“We’re not being able to buy the food we want from the grocery stores we work in, right? So why not give us what we need so we can survive paying rent, paying our bills, groceries,” Labatt said.

Wow, practically a terrorist!

It won’t even if he does. Trump isn’t the cause, he’s a symptom. The US is probably not going to survive as a unified nation for very long, and honestly, it probably shouldn’t.

Who said anything about that? This country should be split up entirely. It’s already completely unable to function by any reasonable standards, and for decades the harm it’s caused its own people and the world at large has been increasingly outweighing any good it does. Empires are always negative forces and should always be dismantled.

Nope, I didn’t say anything about a “union of sovereign territories.” That was just you.

That ship has fucking sailed, buddy.

I don’t have the solution, I just have the basic sense to see that what this country is is entirely unsustainable.

This country is going to implode one way or another. We can try to have it happen in a kinda sorta controlled way, or we can do your idea of sticking our fingers in our ears and just let the pressure build until it breaks in the most destructive way possible.

It’s going to hurt no matter what. Trying to avoid the pain will only end in worse pain.

Yeah, Russia is significantly worse. We all know. That doesn’t change the fact that the US is sprinting head first into the woodchipper, too.

You mean the ones that are also headed towards total societal collapse within the next decade? Yeah, I’m sure they’ll totally have plenty of resources to spare for a trans-pacific invasion when they can’t grow any crops.

The Roman empire was still the most successful empire in the world at the time it collapsed. So was the British empire. And the Spanish empire. And the Mongol empire. And the Abassid Caliphate. Should I go on, or do you get the fucking point yet?

Yeah, Russia is one of the worst, most worthless shitholes in the world, far worse than the US. That doesn’t nullify the situation the US is in, nor the sitiation it’s headed towards. This country cannot and will not survive the already inevitable famines of the 2030’s.

Fuck off, jackass. Being anti-American doesn’t mean pro-Russian, and anyone with even a single brain cell rattling around in their skull knows they’re both trash.

Part of the point maternity leave is to allow time to physically recover from having your body ripped open. The baby being stillborn doesn’t make the birthing process any less horrifically damaging to the body.

Renting is shit, but one of the best points in favor of not owning a home is that contractors are almost universally untrustworthy con artists.
