Yeah, pretty much every chart shows America losing its mind somewhere in the late 1970s/early 1980s.

My employer just announced that all high risk employees are working from home until there’s a vaccine. So uhh now that I’ll be quarantined at home for 18+ months, what should I buy to improve my quality of life? In the past two months I’ve added:

- hammock
- porch swing
- gas grill
- garage gym
- his and hers bicycles
- soda stream
- crock pot
- instapot
- bean hoard

switch the gas grill to a gaucho grill

There are people shooting fireworks near me in CT tonight. Probably one or two streets away, if I had to guess.

I remember the goon who worked in animation and said in GBS years ago that Reagan changed something in the FCC so that all cartoons in the 80s with a plot involving one character going off on his own must conclude with "the group ridicules him and he realizes the err of his ways because no one individual should ever go against the group consensus"

the 4th and NYE are the only ones associated with fireworks but it makes sense if the firework companies are trying to expand to memorial day since its an early summer holiday

on the other hand the neoliberal counterrevolution also saw Thatcher, one of its leaders, saying stuff like this:
"They are casting their problems at society. And, you know, there's no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look after themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbours."

so people were taught that they were on there own and not to trust other people, but if you stand out from the crowd you're a weirdo. creates extremely healthy societies.

bernie sanders's $600/week is literally preventing this. we would've had riots 2 months ago without this as dozens of millions of people lost their jobs.

even if we had somehow not rioted you would've seen massive evictions and tent cities springing up

ive been watching a lot of Hoarders recently and theres a lot of analogues to be had between people who piss and poo poo on their floor, end up with pets buried for years under mountains of trash, children traumatized from living in the hoard etc. and the half of this country that thinks controlling contagion is an individual responsibility

pretty much yeah. in my little california town fireworks were illegal, but that didn't stop all us middle-class suburban tract-house 100k starter houses in the cul-de-sacs from doing it everyear. occasionally a cop would come by and go 'no stop that now!' and gently caress off. then go shoot/cite minorities somewhere else im sure
