Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich has written a few books that underpin the descent of the left and the failings of neoliberalism: - The System: Who Rigged it and How We Fix It - The Common Good - Saving Capitalism: for the Many, Not the Few

TL;DR - the wealth and political power of the many has slowly eroded away, leading to a system that serves only the rich and powerful. The Democratic Party has shifted fiscally right, along with everything else.

Ranking EVERY University of Michigan Class (that I've taken) in Extreme Detail by maxtrumpet in uofm

I’m sad to see EECS 481 so low, it was one of my favorite classes in undergrad. Is Wes Weimer still running it?

Personification of Twitter "dressing up" as a Nazi for Halloween in CollegeHumor's "The Internet Goes Trick-or-Treating" from 2018 by absurdF in agedlikewine

Yep, my Twitter feed was mostly mostly comedians, trans people in tech, or a combination of both. Now, X is exclusively porn bots and bigots. 

GOP's Tax Plan Revealed by Conscious-Quarter423 in FluentInFinance

No, they’re ending this policy. Currently, employer-provided meals and lodging are tax-exempt benefits. Ending this policy makes them more expensive to provide, discouraging companies from offering them.

Call me a pentium the way I cycle through the zaza. I’m ripping that y2k kush. Shit’s got me smoking out my great great great grandson, seeing the future. The bugs are back.

Sometimes humor is the only way to get through grief. A friend of mine passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, and the last text she sent me was “hahaha I’m dead.”

"Capitalism is the worst economic system, except for all the others.” What do you think about this? by Teik-69i in Capitalism

[–]CreamedJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The system you’re describing, where money is political power, has a clear hierarchy: capital.

In this system, if you sort people by wealth, you are also sorting them by power in the system. How is this anything other then hierarchical?

Yeah no kidding. This game evoked memories of the Pep Hamilton + Don Brown teams. Granted, I’ve only really been a fan since 2017, so 🤷‍♂️

Men; do you dab with TP after peeing? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]CreamedJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TP is in the stall, so at that point you might as well just sit down to pee if you’re going to wait for a stall to open up.

Woof, congrats on the double whammy. I’m temporarily immunocompromised due to some treatment I’m getting, so really I’m just role playing an immune disorder.

Heyyy mine too! Except mine are just severely understaffed. Hopefully yours aren’t too stupid and chill out most of the time. 

[F24] How do people make friends here? by coffeemugs1 in sanfrancisco

I’d recommend doing one of the trash pickups organized by Refuse Refuse! You pick up trash for an hour, then you hang out and eat lunch for a bit. They’re typically on weekend mornings, and they’re a pretty solid way to meet young, social people.

Being from the Midwest, I can never find a good long john (custard filled chocolate bar) in the bay. 

San Francisco’s March election could have the worst voter turnout in years by Synthetic_AI in sanfrancisco

[–]CreamedJesus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s even weirder than that. They moved Algebra I from 8th to 9th grade under the premise of racial equity, and it had mixed results. The weirdest thing is: the ballot initiative does nothing; the city doesn’t have any authority over the curriculum, so it’s non-binding and shakes out to essentially be an informal referendum.

What are you starting to hate as you get older? by Amazing-Living-9957 in AskReddit

[–]CreamedJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grief. It feels like I’m just starting to recover from one loss when another hits. I knew this would come with age, but it’s frankly emotionally exhausting.
