I agree, but the intended chilling effect has been more successful than not, in my opinion. That and the recent “coincidental” deaths of certain whistleblowers.

It all falls under the subject of corruption, I just didn’t want to leave anyone out.
Lawlessness, or more specifically the idea of “might makes right”. They just convicted Trump of 34 counts of fraud. Will he go to jail? Probably not. Our Congresspeople have rewritten the laws to allow themselves to do insider trading to enrich themselves to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. There is a profession in this country called a “lobbyist”, which is just a professional bribery middleman. The Supreme Court (not wanting to be left out of the so called “side hustle” culture), just two days ago, deemed it legal for government officials to accept “gratuities”. I wish this was a fucking joke.
The stat that I had read was that on average Texans own guns at a rate of 4 per person, so for every person that doesn’t own any, there has to be someone taking up the slack. The joke is that Texans are a distillation of what America is to the rest of the world: loud, obnoxious, and absolutely sure they’re right.
The point I was trying to make is that even though Canadians own a shitload more guns per capita, they have far less gun violence than us.
I guess they didn’t kill enough of us old/fat/sick fuckers with Covid, so they’re going to give it another go with fucking bird flu. How the fuck is Fauci not in prison? We are at the convergence of 1984, Brave New World, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Lord of the Flies. These stories were supposed to be warnings, not instruction manuals.

I used to be anti-gun, until I found out that Canadians own guns at the same rate as TEXANS. We Americans are losing our fucking minds. We’re kept at each other’s throats to distract us from the fact that the 1% are fucking us all over.
Fuck Reddit, 'cuz I’m over here now. (in the best Diceman voice I can muster)
If you do not pay us the IRS, we will put you under the rest.
By now, if you still have an HP printer, you deserve what you get. Fuck HP in the ass with a big rubber dick.
I used to work at Lenovo’s fulfillment center through a temp company. The organization of the place (or lack thereof) is a complete clusterfuck. At the time I worked there, something like 5 to 10% of their inventory was “lost”, as in, it was somewhere in the building, but no one could find it since it’s location is no longer in the system.
Why is this story getting downvoted? Do the shitlibs here on Lemmy really still carry water for Grampa Joe? And by “shitlibs” I mean you bougie, pretend liberals who wave the rainbow flag while still supporting a warmongering old racist POS. This is what the DNC gets for fucking Sanders over twice.
