  • The only sense I can make is that he’s saying the administration lied about it as a prop to get elected.

    But, of course, prominent Nazi Pam Bondi said it was on her desk AFTER the election. And Republicans just voted not to release something they claim doesn’t exist. And logic states that if it does exist and it exonerates Trump they’d be plastering it on every wall in every city, town, and village in America. Sooooooooo…

    Yeah, but we did tax the everloving fuck out of the grotesquely wealthy, which made for a stronger middle class.

    That was before they realized they could just pay our traitorous politicians pocket change to lower their tax rate.




  • Like, I’ll go ahead and say the internet has gotten worse, but only after a decade or two where it got much, much better.

    Yeah. 90s internet was really novel and interesting and unique, but after a couple hours you got bored. There wasn’t that much happening on it. Also slow as all hell.

    Then internet speeds picked up and there was enough content to keep you basically permanently entertained. Lot of entertaining stuff. The Age of Memes was truly upon us.

    Then the bad actors and village idiots were able to easily get access and understand they could use the internet for nefarious reasons and it’s been getting shittier for about the last decade or so. Realistically, probably around the time smartphones came out and the influx of fools was of tsunami proportions.


  • Convenience-wise? Yes. A lot of things are easier to get taken care of now. From being able to handle DMV shit online to organizing events to paying bills. All way easier than they used to be.

    Everything else…yeah, no. Things are not good economically. Things are not good socially. Things are not good civically. Stress levels are high. Suicides are up. Wealth disparity is getting insane. Finding career jobs with good employers is rough. Have fun buying a house. You might be on the street if you have a medical emergency. Fuck you if you’re poor.

    Generally speaking, things are getting worse, but we’ve got some cool tech and easier payment methods while everything else goes to shit, so we’ve got that going for us.
