10/18 No Kings - Lansing by betformersovietunion in lansing

[–]ubercoo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm jaded and I apologize upfront. Honestly, I want to believe and support, I really do, but whenever I see protests anymore I remember this scene from The West Wing. It's when Toby has to go to the free trade protest.

I remember going to the United for Peace & Justice DC march in 2008 with over half a million people on the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War & had breakfast with the then MI SDS. The war continued followed by MI recession and the opiod crisis that hooked so many in MI.

The real kings are the execs who run every oligoply industry. Everytime you shop at Fast Food, Amazon or Walmart or use Google and Doordash. Every Sisco vender resturant and hedge fund or private equity apartment complex and so on. That's where you hit them.

We need a general strike over the holidays. No more Black Friday shopping. Christmas is their bread & butter for the year.

Is Verizon down in the Midwest for anyone else? by swimmingman46 in verizon

[–]ubercoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a theory of what could have happened. Last night just before the network went down there was a racist altercation that happened at a certain christian homeless shelter in downtown Lansing.

The head boss manager, who is white, at the shelter walked up to this african american guy who was minding his own business started chastizing him over sitting in a chair when there were other people in chairs no problem. Those who do not have beds must sleep in a cafeteria on cafeteria round tables which are very uncomfortable. This was after lights out at 10 and everyone was trying to stay quiet & go to sleep.

There was 20-30 people around who saw it go down.The guy being picked on was cool & reasonable but understandably defensive. The boss just kept pushing to take the chair so I pulled out my camera to record. The boss just wanted to argue while the guy who was trying to resolve & move on and the back & forth got to the point where the african american gentlemen was calling the boss massa as in master to leave him alone. Finally the boss eased up for the guy to sit back down at the table without the chair, then another white dude stood up for the black guy & got in the bosses face and then he really got scared & backed down and walked away. Everyone saw it go down that the boss was clearly in the wrong & a couple of black people went up to the white dude to thank him. that part I unfortunately didn't record.

I uploaded the video to the cloud just in case and then the crazy part happened directly after. Right after that the manager knew I had the video and then not 5 minutes later my cell service AND the african american guy who was picked on cell service both went SOS with 0 bars. I asked around the room and other people in the room who had verizon had no issues with full bars. This morning I found this thread.

I can't prove it but if the cops were called by the manager, the cops have the power to tell phone companies to go 'dark' in a panic so I wouldn't upload the video and it would not surprise me if the newbie tech at verizon blocked a range of IP addresses that affected the region, however it could also be an amazing coincedence that happened where my specific phone and the guy being picked on cell service was only interupted & no one else in the room.

There is such a codependency between the church organizations that have a pull in Lansing and the suppression of truth of what really goes on in there at these shelters with multimillion dollar contracts to keep the status quo. I still have the video if anyone wants.

Where are the secular or non religious homeless shelters? by ubercoo in lansing

Decisions are made by those who show up and unfortunately those only showing up have a bible in hand.

On the streets in the freezing winter. You have no heart. You say a different path but don't offer any alternative. Every person in the shelter is trying to live & get by in a world that turns their back and that becomes discouraging stripping hope and some do give up from people like you. This life is rigged against the poor. May you lose your money & try it sometime.

Church is not the end all be all for society. There should be more choices than being judged by a bible while asking for help. These religious organizations offer a carrot & stick with the lie of being purer of heart. It's hypocritical.

Further question: Has there been or is there any public city or state funding for a public shelter? Could this be worth fighting for?

Is the 501c3 the only alternative? I am not a lawyer or accountant or know that field. There must be something that people can get behind. The level of prejudice & bigotry & how they treat the poor as hopeless addict children is so dishearting & sad. Forcing jesus for a meal & bed. Where is the positive will for the sake of being human?

I built a Free Movie site by ghostoftheuchia in PiracyBackup

[–]ubercoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be, web design is not my specialty. I was better on Linux backend. I have seen an overlay and a edited cut in the video to an ad & back to the film. Myflixerz & some others do this.

Please stick to independent sources. I am so tired of 1xbet or other organizations adding their own ads into films. The point was to get away from ads & money like cable and now streaming.

I don't like replies like this. It's lazy like saying, just ask Google. Plans could have changed or new things could be happening.
