“But speaking of gambling, #gambling is a behaviour where #people don’t think of the #consequences. And what this (#Labor) #government has done is gambled the #taxpayers’ money of Australia”

“We understand that the other side has a good heart, that they want to make #medicines cheaper. But to recklessly, recklessly cut the profits of small business owners, the #pharmacies working extremely hard, some of them have told me they’ve gone down to 30-40%. That gambling-like behaviour is simply not on.” — #ScottYung

Piss off Scotty, leave our Pharma alone.

We seemingly recognise the threats posed by climate change which will include mass migration (for survival's sake) - but this ‘study' recognises a large number will suffer - and of course it will be the poorer members of our society. Large numbers of poor dispossesed people - I can't wait!

GOP Senator Slams Republicans for Being “Afraid” of Elon Musk

Senator Lisa Murkowski has some harsh words for her party.
newrepublic.com/post/192950/li

"Senator Lisa Murkowski called out the #tech oligarch in a #press conference... She criticized the mass firing of #federal employees and freezing of federal #funding...

She told reporters... that she knows her willingness to criticize #Musk will likely come with #consequences."

"Before EPA and laws like the Clean Water Act, America's waters were choked with pollution. Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which became a symbol of environmental degradation in the 60s, was so polluted that it repeatedly caught fire."

My goodmess! There's a cautionary tale right there! 😐

Fancy choosing to return to those days... And for those who say privatisation will take it from here, now that govt's out of the service loop: who will have funds to pay for it with Mango Muffin & Melon Husk tanking the US economy?

Maybe four years of Kamala is looking like a smarter decision now MAGAs?

Wonder what your gold Trump tennies & meme coins can sell for to pay your mortgage while looking for a new job. Doubt your 401k will help....

The world of A.D. 2014 will have few routine jobs that cannot be done better by some machine than by any human being. Mankind will therefore have become largely a race of machine tenders. All high-school students will be taught the fundamentals of computer technology and will be trained to perfection in the use of the computer languages. Mankind will suffer badly from the disease of boredom, a disease spreading more widely each year and growing in intensity. This will have serious mental, emotional and sociological consequences, and I dare say that psychiatry will be far and away the most important medical specialty in 2014.

A quotation from Thoreau

I wish my countrymen to consider, that whatever the human law may be, neither an individual nor a nation can ever commit the least act of injustice against the obscurest individual, without having to pay the penalty for it. A government which deliberately enacts injustice, and persists in it, will at length even become the laughing-stock of the world.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Speech (1854-07-04), “Slavery in Massachusetts,” Anti-Slavery Celebration, Framingham, Massachusetts

#NoKingsDay #washington #DC 2025-02-17 in a #bigbrother 1984 #orwellian #digital #dictatorship, no one would see anything of this #protests, all the big media conglomerates, search engines would censor it :( question: why did those peaceful protesters not try to turn over the gov and storm congress? (just asking, probably because they are intelligent unlike the january 6 rioters)

BUT if #Trump and #republicans keep ignoring LEGITIMATE grievances of #citizens like higher and higher #food and #fuel prices = imho companies using #inflation as excuse to increase prices without transparency = #corruption of the #middleman: when is #DOGE gonna investigate that???

u gonna have a violent #civilwar like #riot at your hand Mr #TrumpRegime

because #citizens then have nothing to lose and the #FrenchRevolution did not go well for the #King

PLEASE THIS TIME, THINK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF SYSTEM U WANT AFTER THE #REVOLUTION :)

1. best as possible #education of the masses very important for #democracy to work ask #Socrates infosec.exchange/@Linknation/1

2. no more parties: only proven #competent #truthful #honest people can be candidates voted for highest jobs in government

3. make new innovative #finance systems (can be multiple) the current central bank FIAT money is #fascist and not serving the people (#Fascism = fasces = concentration of power in hands of (unelected?) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces

4. every #citizen should be given small plot of land for free to grow food and build a house on

5. no more stockmarket, all businesses and banks need to be run by proven #competent #responsible actors democratically elected by their employees

#Trump + #Elonmusk START FOCUSING ON THE PROBLEMS OF THE #POOR + #ECONOMY NOW! with smart new ideas of #finance

or face dire catastrophic #disaster #consequences
