  • You’re not wrong. But there won’t be enough people. Too many people not willing to risk what they have for a chance at a better world.

    Inb4 “doomer post” I’m trying to be realistic. It would be incredible if we could all save up a month’s worth of food and all strike for an entire week.

    I think a general boycott might be more realistic. Look at Target, look at Tesla. But even then, do you think we could get enough people to stop using Amazon for a month? The only thing they care about it money, so that’s where you have to make waves.

    Imo, ideally, perfect world and 100% buy-in, we would all have vegetable gardens. When someone needs a new roof it would only cost them raw materials because neighbors would come after their 9-5 to help with free labor, or if someone’s car broke down they could take to “that guy” in the neighborhood who has tools and knowledge. And he would only charge for parts because the neighborhood helped him for free with his roof. People taking care of people, not for money but because it makes the world a better place for everyone. The less people are dependent on “the system”, the less control it has over them.







  • I saw the video. A reporter asked if the president would consider a 90 day pause and the white house guy responds with “yeah, well, you know, the president is going to do what he wants to do.”

    But the first thing out of the fucking guys mouth was “yeah”. So of course the reporter is going to run with it when it was literally just a filler word cuz the dude didn’t know how to answer the question.











  • I feel your first comment too. What can 1 person do? Honestly not much imo. And these strikes haven’t accomplished much since its business as usual they day after lol. I dont use amazon, i dont get things delivered to the house, i try to shop local, etc.

    People might call this a “negative attitude” but have you seen what’s going on? It’s pretty god damn negative. I think it’s ok to feel a sense of dread and hopelessness, it’s ok to feel all the emotions. But the insanely tricky part is figuring out how to express those emotions in a constructive way.

    I’ve always talked about a making a veggie garden in my backyard, maybe doing that will help me feel less shitty about food prices going up. Just an example I guess.
