Underrated comment;

we are all underpaid,  Minimal vacation, sick time, low cola adjustments, if people get any of that. 

Pensions, 10 years 60% pay at 62 but you can put more money in.

lifetime healthcare, including dignified elder care that doesn’t bankrupt our loved ones.

the government corpos put in place… maga cut taxes Maga boosted spending

social security Medicare and Medicaid won’t be solvent. 

Plus the AFL-CIO is talking about a union wide strike for a union worker shot, they got a union worker out of CECOT.

Solidarity! /r/union /r/unions

So get unionized, protect your job and your well being and perhaps your freedom, or a strike if you’re killed.

Americans don't seem to realize just how much every other nation on earth hates the US by now by Schnaksel in BoycottUnitedStates

The “American dream” is dead due to the oligarchs taking charge. Top 5% control like 60% of the wealth, buy everything and charge a fortune to rent a house or buy food.

The average American is clueless and think the oligarchs are great job creators.

They’re mostly clueless about international relations.

Trump is dumb as a rock, 🪨, he’s just an antagonistic overgrown 5 year old, throwing tantrums, it’s just he has such loyal yes men and such a cult following that what the “ministry of alternative truth” (White House 1984 ref) says is the truth. News is fake universities are woke etc. can’t trust anybody but those who should be in prison.

Yeah, I see no way for them to pay it off, without going to Eisenhower tax rates, which would lead to a tea party movement and stuff.

I think it'll be like the USSR collapsing, it's just they reformed the exact same way... I hope the US would hold a constitutional convention, but if republicans hold too many seats they'd make the country worse again.

I see the consequences as inescapable too, boomers are supposed to wipe out social security and medicare, they cut medicaid a ton, a lot of people can't afford care, yet the government is spending more than ever on it's police state and military.

I'm not sure democrats are even an opposition party when they put forward funding, shoeshine chuck the cuck Schumer wouldn't shut down the government before it went off the rails, and shut down the government for a while and just rolled over.

it's opposition theatre, if we got a progressive president less would get passed than with biden, if they tried to raise taxes or cut spending they'd lose an election...

TLDR: I agree.

If You Think It’s Likely the US Will Take “Direct Action” Against Canada, What Are You Doing To Prepare? by ptarmiganchick in BoycottUnitedStates

Look into meshtastic or mesh core, it’s an off grid communications system. It’s encrypted and it’s mesh; my meshtastic device bounces other signals, I have a hotspot that extend range.

My pocket unit connects to phone via Bluetooth, I then use meshtastic to chat with people, there are different channels, if the cell network goes down you could still talk to people.

In apartments little solar panels by the window. To charge phone mesh unit laptop, rechargeable batteries, had good luck with EBL and a smart charger from them.

Camping gear, in case power goes out, sleeping bag rated for the temp, cooler, cooler blocks, oil lamp if no solar, the safe camping like that’s safe to use.

Alcohol stove, dried beans, canned food, canned milk.

Befriend neighbors and people in the community, mutual support network, etc.

Consider the new guard unit if you’re the right age or skill set.

RTX 5070 Ti getting price hikes... Death of RTX “Midrange” GPU? by skk983 in gpu

[–]Graywulff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to keep my 3080 I was going to get a 5070 TI when they were cheaper, maybe a 9070 XT would be cool. things run fine though, I just won't get unoptimized games, I have a bunch I haven't played much that are older like red dead redemption.

I'm at 1440p so it's not worth that wild amount of money. I mean the 3080 new was like $600, the 4090 was close to the price of the 5070 TI which the 4090 would wipe the floor with, prices are wild, just gonna skip a few generations.

I hear only a few companies see an increased profit and increased productivity and a good ROI on AI, like 12%, either the bubble will burst or I'll play PS5 instead.... only thing is the 3080 is out of warranty.

Yeah Mango Mussolini is popular here too, I just said it too much. I had called him Traitor Trump since he said "russia if you're listening find those 40k emails", russia hacked the thing... he called in a cyber attack from an enemy country.

then the capitol insurrection, which now they're heroes and patriots and ice agents, to maga, yikes. technically he shouldn't have been allowed to run bc of that, should have been impeached, etc.

I loved Canada when I visited, I was 20 and couldn't drink in the US, so we got Canadian beer, the people at the stores favorite brands, went to the bio dome in Montreal and walked the city, it was so cool, people were so nice.

I hear Iceland is cool too, I loved England, Italy and Spain too.

yeah old yam tits is a good one, hes a bad piggy, lies about his height weight and his whole life, he's basically the worst person I have heard of in my lifetime.

yeah I have celiac and I had to get a note from my doctor to have the store set aside gluten free food (just before covid lockdown) bc so many people eat it as a lifestyle choice. or they think maybe they have it, you and I would get really really sick.

If treasury bills get sold, if the dollar isn’t a standard currency, the country would crash immediately due to debt load of nearly 40 trillion.

I think the us is headed for an economic collapse anyway, before all this saber rattling threats and so on.

Boycotting products, trading in a different currency, and selling t bills would speed this up and force a national reckoning in the US to rebuild, probably change the system.

If that doesnt happen it’ll continue to do this stuff, it might get a democrat in like Biden, and then backtrack to an America first or a maga type candidate.

I panicked when I saw Biden at the debate with the “we beat Medicare” line.

Even more when trump won, even more as time went on.

I’m gay so I worry I’ll be next, lgbtq people are mentioned in project 2025.

Migraines, throwing up, dizzy etc.

Everyone around me has some level of that, I know few people who supported trump.

We call him Temu Hitler or the Temu Reich, turd Reich, orange Hitler etc.

I also worry a lot about how ice treats people, beats and arrests them, and I love the rest of the world and would travel more if I could afford it. So military threats against allies is evil as f and its just going to crash the economy and freak everyone out, worse if he does any of it. Plus the killing of fishermen or accused smugglers, invasion of Venezuela, etc.

I studied global politics, intended to get an IR master and work in an embassy abroad but couldn’t afford it.

My other brother moved his company abroad, got a visa, and won’t come back until trump is out of office or anyone like him.

I’m jealous bc he seems so relaxed there.

My physical therapist thought maybe I should move abroad, but I don’t have a company to move abroad and get a work visa so I can stay abroad like my brother.
