I mean, I HAVE been eating more cabbage lately…

Just fuck off already.

Pretty sure my cat Emily wasn’t lying when she said she isn’t. Haven’t asked Charlotte yet, but my old couch says she is.

That’s like telling a cow to eat grass and burp methane…

Denying parasite profit requires forgiving discretionary spending

Not when the parasite corporations profiteer off of everything including the bare essentials to the point that survival without crushing lifelong debt is increasingly becoming something that only the privileged few have within reach.

Current data indicates this aint happening.

Would that be the official government inflation data? The same data that’s skewed to the point of uselessness by deliberately omitting food and housing costs?

Also fedi is mostly middle aged PMCs who make decent money.

Yet another baseless generalization to justify your economic victim blaming 🙄

But sure bro fight this wind mill

Pointing out how tone deaf and counterproductive it is to basically make the “avocado toast and Starbucks” argument when people are literally starving after already cutting all unnecessary expenses isn’t tilting at windmills, it’s setting the record straight.

That being said, it seems that it’s just as pointless in this case, as obstinate and obtuse as you’re being, so I’m just gonna wish you the day/night you deserve and go to bed.

In fact, spines, spikes, glass shards, and coarse sand paper has been added while lube has been removed from the proverbial fucking over of anyone who’s not a rich, white, and fascist cishet man.

“Kill all jaws” actually seems even worse (though less bigoted), given how many species have at least one of those…

supercritical

does some really weird shit

I’m no geologist, but I could have guessed that without any further specifics 😉

Nope, but I’m not going to assume that most people AREN’T or that it’s the anywhere near the main impediment to people in general making ends meet.

Especially not when the bare essentials have skyrocketed in price while wages stayed the same and public assistance got even more difficult to be approved for than the Kafkaesque nightmare it’s already been for decades.

You’re welcome 😁

You’re really going to answer “people can’t afford to live because everything (including bare essentials) is too expensive” with "just don’t waste so much money“ in an economy specifically designed to make sure that you spend as much as possible whether you choose to or not? 🤦

Yes.

One word: cabbage.

Two words: yummy cabbage.

Many words: I actually agree with you in general, I just love cabbage which, on top of many other benefits, is SUPER high in vitamin C and excellently suited for climates where not much grows in winter🙂

Nope, that’s what factually is happening.

Just because the Neoliberals from your favorite billionaire-owned media says something doesn’t make it true.

some Republican challenger, whoever that was going to be

Pretty sure that it’s gonna be perennial loser and insanely racist vigilante Curtis Sliwa again.

Either of my cats stand a better chance of becoming mayor of New York than that infected scrotum.

Reality created and enforced by those two parties, especially the DNC.

I mean, that’s not even a dream, that’s just what’s almost certainly WILL happen since they appeal to almost exactly the same demographics across the board.

Would be a surprise if more than one of them even reaches double digit percentages, actually.

That’s an overly charitable interpretation.

What actually happened was that progressives sued the DNC for unfairly rigging the primaries, which they did.

Rather than try to deny it, they went with the tactic of saying “well we’re allowed to because we own the process, not the voters”.

This in spite of their own charter mandating that they stay neutral and not favor any candidate over others during the primary process.

If the Democratic establishment pushes Mamdani hard

Sure, and pigs might fly!

Never forget that it was a coalition led by the Dem leadership on behalf of AIPAC that ousted both Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman.

They always fight tooth and nail against progressives and roll over on most of the demands of the fascists in the name of “bipartisanship”

The person you’re replying to is just used to the establishment fighting against progressive insurgents.

As is anyone who’s ever paid attention 🤷
