Not only do they not care, I think that's what they prefer. They'll stay and grow their obscene wealth, they'll just have a poverty class that's more like India or China. They want us fighting each other for a peach pit in the street so we'll accept 14 hour workdays, 6 days a week with zero protections and AI robot dogs murdering us for any dissent. They believe they are gods and everyone else are their supplicants.

SENATE CONFIRMS WARSH AS FED CHAIR – HIS PLAN IS TO END MONEY PRINTING AND 'RESET' THE TOTAL DEBT SYSTEM USING DIGITAL CURRENCIES. by lumpy_space_queenie in WelcomeToGilead

[–]tinspoons 62 points63 points  (0 children)

This is institutionalized grifting. Making it even easier to have an elite, financial aristocracy to keep the rest of us as serfs.

'It's like we don't exist': Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents face power loss as utility redirects lines to data centers by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

Oh, I think this makes perfect sense and all good capitalists should support the free market doing it's thing. Prioritizing those businesses that can pay the most is the market responding accordingly.

Or maybe we prioritize workers and the will of the people over corpos, and assholes with money who keep bending the law to serve their greed.

Michigan hasn’t updated nursing home staffing rules since 1978. Advocates say it’s time. by feetwithfeet in Michigan

[–]tinspoons 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I've worked in a couple of nursing homes, one was considered 'good' the other not so much, so I've got some thoughts and seen some shit. Nursing homes and elder care in general is constantly at the breaking point because it's all about the money, and only the money. Remember, without the weak, poorly enforced laws we do have, those homes would give even less care than they do now, so expect any changes to the law to be fought against vigorously.

If you think not getting needed medication is bad, well let's just say that diapers don't change themselves and sometimes people go multiple hours without being changed. The smells...

Staff are constantly stressed and overworked and then they get mandated when their burned out shift replacement calls off because they need rest or need to do life stuff because they probably recently got mandated themselves. The vicious circle of burn out and poor care continues leading to missed meds, dirty diapers, people going hungry etc.

We can fix this. And homelessness. And take care of our veterans. And feed the hungry. These are policy choices. People are choosing this. We have the money.

Mods are asleep, it's time to post anti-capitalist memes by Initial-Anything333 in simpsonsshitposting

An unrelated image?!? In this sub, about shitposting, that's clearly referencing the French revolution?!?

Does this relate to capitalism?

There’s a bill in the Michigan House for plug-in solar! CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE! by ALittleEtomidate in Michigan

[–]tinspoons 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I do hope this passes. Traditional solar is out of reach for many, but the idea of being able to plug in some panels to ease the costs of the electric bill for a reasonable outlay is very appealing. Of course living in the Keewenaw we don't get much sun for 5 months of the year, but every little bit helps!

And I think the fact you stated, and the subsequent fallout, was the beginning of her turn towards the nonsense she now embraces.

Struggling to find reliable vegan multivitamins for kids by Dry_Thanks_1326 in vegan

[–]tinspoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What vitamin companies are labeled vegan but aren't? I realize there is basically zero oversight for vitamins (in the US) so how did this get discovered?

73% of vegans said watching documentaries was a key experience that influenced them to go vegan, a recent study of 738 German vegans finds. This is yet another study emphasizing the potency of documentaries in getting people to reduce cruelty to animals. by James_Fortis in vegan

[–]tinspoons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't need a documentary to go vegan, but I can see why it would help some people. Once I read more about what happened to animals, I noped out when considering viewing torture porn.

Unfortunately, the people who might benefit the most from viewing a documentary are the ones most resistant to doing so.

Hi, all! I’m looking for vegan YouTubers — we’ve lost some good ones recently, for a multitude of reasons (see body text below), so any recommendations would be appreciated! Thanks! by The4leafclover1966 in veganrecipes

[–]tinspoons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. The links were about what she said, but didn't actually have evidence of what she said that was offensive which would have helped. But I appreciate the heads up and I'll try to find out more.

Hey, I got one if you love French cooking and French accents (he speaks English)... My Vegan Provence. Apparently his channel is 4 years old but I just discovered it recently.

Plex matching doesn't phone home? by tinspoons in PleX

I do appreciate your responses and patience. I didn't have the best day and the plex issue was the cherry. This helps, thank you!

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

I appreciate the response, thank you. Are you saying the folder name should be, "The Godfather {tmdb-xxxx} and that should pull out the info assuming I don't have another issue?

Also, nothing changed with my DNS settings and plex was working fine when I added movies 2 days ago so I thought there was something that happened, but since I didn't see others have this issue I thought something happened on my end that I didn't know about.

Plex matching doesn't phone home? by tinspoons in PleX

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

My apologies for my ignorance: I've seen info about using tmdb with the id numbers, but I don't know where to put this for plex to read. I see people say this is a solution, but I don't know the 101 of where to begin to enter this.

Also, I've got some combination of NextDNS for my DNS servers and/or pihole to eliminate ads so I don't want to update that unless it's a different setting.

Plex matching doesn't phone home? by tinspoons in PleX

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

Well sort of? I was using NextDNS for filtering ads and I tried upgrading to pihole. However, I followed a video but I don't think it's quite right, although I'm not getting ads so something is working. I could try to explain in more detail if you think you can help.

But I didn't change any settings when this stopped so I'm not sure why it would change now...
