and give others 30 days to self-identify,
Bro’s too wasted to realize how many active service members want an out with an honorable discharge on any given day…
Almost always the junior enlisted who just signed up to pay for college and VA home loan.
That’s not even the ones who just hate trump specifically and take the out as a protest thing.
Literally everyone I knew on a first contract would have put their hand up for this shit.
Yeah, didn’t mean it personally, just in general it gets old debating centuries old economic plans like we can’t figure out what works.
But amendments was the compromise, lots of the framers wanted to start from scratch every 20 years with a large vote on what makes it in the new.
He also died 235 years ago…
Like, if you asked any of those “great thinkers” if people 200+ years in the future should still be relying on their opinion and not a single one would agree.
Humanity’s greatest strength is exchanging ideas and building on them, the rate we do so has skyrocketed since then. So much shit has changed that what people said back then should really only be useful on trivia night or when learning history.
If it’s still applicable it means we stagnated, and that’s a bad sign for society.
We should understand the framework and what came before, but under no circumstances looking to them for literal guidance from the ancients type shit. We live in drastically different worlds.
But it’s more like the people who lost millions of dollars because of this sued, then a couple people with a handful of shares decided to sue one of the largest fucking companies on the planet to draw Americans attention to the fact their healthcare system sucks in 2025…
Like, just think for a second which is more likely, even though both are technically plausible
Then you are overly optimistic about the state of the American insurance system…
You think the people owning millions of dollars of stock don’t understand that their profits come from denying claims and people dying?
They’ve normalized that and their social circles 100% do not have us in their “in group” because since birth they have never interacted with people who aren’t wealthy.
We are not people to trust fund babies
We usually talk about the in-group/out group split like that with ethnicity or even religion, but it can develop along any line, and for generations has been there a long economic lines.
They would see nothing wrong with making the statement:
the public backlash prevented the company from pursuing “the aggressive, anti-consumer tactics that it would need to achieve” its earnings goals.
For a recent example, look at feudalism, the royalty were separated from commoners due to privilege and for pretty much all of them they started looking at them as a cop.pletely different species with zero innate value.
It only ended because wealth inequality started to decrease leading to the merchant class providing an opportunity for social mobility that rivaled lesser nobility.
But wealth inequality has been going the other way for a while, we’re already seeing the wealthy act like feudal lords again. I know I went on a rant, but c’mon, the rich are 100% out of touch enough in 2025 to make that statement and genuinely not expect anyone to be upset. It takes effort for them to acknowledge we’re also human, so sometimes they just fucking forget.
The group, which is seeking unspecified damages, argued that the public backlash prevented the company from pursuing “the aggressive, anti-consumer tactics that it would need to achieve” its earnings goals.
“As such, the Company was deliberately reckless in doubling down on its previously issued guidance,” the suit reads.
They really just fucking said it…
This economic system is openly hostile to the vast majority of us, the only choice we have is if we participate in it, and that’s not really a choice. Inflation is used to force people into investing, it’s literally there so people don’t just put money under the mattress to save for retirement.
There’s other ways than letting the wealthy do anything and everything they want to everyone else. But it gets harder every day to change it
Conservative Charlie Kirk said that he found voting records showing that the new pope was a registered Republican and voted in GOP primaries.
However, a fact-check quickly came from Henry Olsen of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, saying, “Illinois has no party registration. This merely means he cast a Republican ballot in the last party primary.”
Would be pretty funny if new pope voted in the Republican primary just to vote against trump twice in one year…
Buddy, if you think this is new…
Well, the important part is at least you realize it now. But there’s a reason most other countries don’t import US food, our food safety standards have been a joke longer than anyone on Lemmy has been alive.
So by all means, organize to ban US food imports, but you shouldn’t have been eating it to begin with.
I’m American, but if other countries apply pressure, we have a better shot of raising the standard.
It’s not even that:
They just got to say it…
