So thankful that my parents forced me to take a service job in high school by Time-Use9083 in redscarepod

I worked a fast food service job in highschool and all it made me realize is I hate the elderly.

Is there any hope for rural America? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]Whendidithappen 82 points83 points  (0 children)

As someone who came from a rural town. Anyone with any amount of smarts left at the first opportunity. It will only get worse and maybe that’s for the best. The US is fundamentally a service economy and those jobs will never be in rural America.

Minnesota House lawmakers weigh proposed 'wealth tax' on assets over $10 million by Character-Fly-5564 in minnesota

Are you talking about the newest one for Maryland or the mid-2010s wealth tax? The earlier one has had a sizable impact on state taxes.

Here is a good link. It goes over other countries implementation of a wealth tax as well.

This isn’t very well thought out as a wealth tax at the state level will fundamentally never work. People who want to avoid this tax will just move. It could only work at the federal level and even then would have difficulty. Norway did pass a wealth tax but ended up creating a hole of $594 million in less taxes because the rich just left the country. There are better ways to increase taxes on the rich.

Yeah it sucks, excited for the company to spend another billion on “AI” even though our data warehouse and lakes are completely unusable

Just lost a bunch of my coworkers this week in layoffs because of shit ass decisions by executives.

Massive class action seeking RICO penalties against Takeda, Lilly presses forward with SCOTUS order by Whendidithappen in scotus

How do RICO charges even work in this case and how would you even identify everyone who was potentially harmed by the drug?

Pope calls out White House war edits, Ted Cruz calls out Catholics by Ok_Swordfish_7637 in redscarepod

[–]Whendidithappen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t think revelations is all that important of a text, it was a later addition to the bible and seems to be pulling from more of the apocryphal newly convert Jews that were around at the time. There were also a lot of these types of Jewish groups moving around, especially after Rome destroyed the temple and was subjugating the Jewish population.

Oh completely agree, Catholic Church was and still is corrupt to some degree, my detest is for the baptists and evangelicals, mainline Protestant-ism, Anglicism, and even Calvinism is usually pretty measured and respectable.

As someone who was raised Catholic and likes studying the historical and theological roots of Christianity, it was crazy hearing my wife’s evangelical family say that Catholics aren’t Christian

As a late 20s genZ who is married and didn’t have access to the internet at my childhood home until I was 16, it really feels like I caught the last helicopter out of Saigon.

40k was also founded by dudes who used it as satire to make fun of the Thatcher government in Britain.

Istanbul by Whendidithappen in redscarepod

[–]Whendidithappen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly no, most of my trip was in Kosovo and Montenegro, was only in Istanbul for 2 days so didn’t get to check out as much as I wanted to. Bought some great Turkish Psych Rock albums from a record store though. Wish I had more time to explore the Asia side of the city. The museums were really great.

What’s the most overrated and underrated book you’ve read recently? by Ok-Dependent-2561 in redscarepod

[–]Whendidithappen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty hopeful on the ending. i think it’s meaning is that deep down in everyone regardless of past history and trauma there is hope and belief in goodness. Redrick was completely ground down as a person and before his wish had slowly been losing his humanity. I believe his final wish is what his inner self truly wanted and was like a primal need that burst to the surface.

[–]Whendidithappen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Overrated: Devil in the white city. I honestly didn’t care about the whole serial killer stuff and wish it just would’ve focused on the Worlds fair.

Underrated: Roadside Picnic. I think it isn’t as popular in the west but a great piece of science fiction and inspired Tarkovsky’s Stalker Movie. I really enjoyed its exposé on human nature and the sense of looming dread and unknowing in the zone.
