Those kids will never feel safe walking around. Every time someone raises their voice, they have to wonder, "Was this directed at me? Am I going to die?" They will look at their skin and wonder what they did to deserve this. The hate. The threat of violence. At a birthday, where people celebrate.

This trauma lasts longer than their prison sentence.

Yeah! Why would China spend that money on their people when they could spend it on their military and use their military to harass brown countries?

I mean, shaming America's greatness against other countries has worked in the past. That's how we got:

  • Universal healthcare
  • Mandated paid maternity/parental leave
  • More than two dominant political parties
  • Cheaper or free college education
  • High-speed passenger rail
  • Mandated annual paid vacation time

Oh wait.

Having a private fleet of building-size yachts wasn't to kill the ecosystem. But it does.

Imagine getting rid of "the problem" that made all these yacht fleets exist.

Office work. For years, I was afraid of working in an office because of films showing people how boring it is and it'll make you want to kill yourself.

But yeah, spend a year or two actually doing your job, then automate it.

I grew up poor where you don't throw away food.

But yeah I'm not eating at Carl's Jr. That shit is nasty.
