“We’re too stupid to have better things,” cried Society.

What an odd winnowing of culpability.

The shooter is not less at fault, there are only additional persons added to the list of equally merited responsibility.

Texas Republican says, “please…just let them tread all over you.”

All hat, no cattle.

It’s almost all bullshit.

The main point of an MBA program is to indoctrinate students into believing that maximizing profit is never predatory, but simply the most efficient means by which to run a business.

There’s also some “leadership” filler that is ultimately ignored in favor of profits, and some basic accounting that is essentially learning how to game the numbers to…maximize profits via application of debt and capital chicanery.

Texas has been GOP governed for nearly 30 years.

The “please tread all over me” state.

Take action on my behalf? Absolutely not. Go fuck yourself AI.

The “please tread on me harder” state.

A figurative decimation.

Sure, but it’s the difference between a few who are able to pierce the veil of their indoctrination, vs a large majority who retain the early childhood conditioning through the rest of their lives. If nothing else, it creates a steady dissonance that ultimately only serves to make life and/or living feel less innately enjoyable and more like livestock in a predatory system from which we cannot escape. All so that the same small group of ultra rich can further their wealth and influence.

If we had a functioning government, they would have regulated the corporate landscape decades ago, but instead we’ve all been forced to labor under and increasing marginalization, while the ROI of our efforts yields less and less. Hardly seems sustainable.

Big tech just following the indoctrination program of Big religion; get the kids before they’re able to think for themselves.

Bingo

Something something, leading indicators…

They’re all velociraptors testing the fences

Or that kentucky fried sack of wet noodles who refused to give out marriage licenses, which was her entire job.

No surprise; white women vote Republican nearly as much as white men.

“Although women as a whole have historically voted for Democrats, white women have not. Instead, over the last 72 years, a plurality of white women have voted for the Democratic candidate only twice, in 1964 and 1996.”

Because they want to privatize all aspects of living so that a handful of exorbitantly wealthy people can build larger hoards. There’s no end to it; it’s a mental disease, enabled by Capitalism and the death of real Labor laws and rights.

Every industry should have unions that actively work to dismantle owner authoritarianism, but for 40 years Boomers have been paving the way for every awful piece of shit “business owner” to have some idolized place at the top of our society. And of course, the knock-on effect of that over time is that the pieces of shit have carved into the legislative and political arenas that provided even a modicum of worker/commoner protections. The digital divide is just a coefficient on the slippery slope.

Greenwashing is a fraud.

This guy is single-handedly reversing the trajectory of nerd bullying.
