Is Lindsay Ellis considered breadtube? The videos I've seen seem to be more more focused on the craft of film than the politics. I'll admit I've only seen a small fraction of her, uh, oeuvre

Have you considered that all of these issues have somehow now become more complicated than they were eight months ago? Extremely complicated. So complicated we must abandon all of our plans and demands and talk endlessly about them and how the issues not being resolved is logical and expected?

Have you also considered that the sociopaths that have so little shame they can just seamlessly make this transition in public to satisfy their own need for money or mental calm are the ones who are right and you should be happy with the situation? They are getting paid and are no longer afraid of The Enemy. What more could you want? Would you prefer the enemy?

Libs love gun control but hate universal healthcare because gun control would take something away from the working class (gun culture) but universal healthcare would give something to the working class that the Libs already have (good healthcare).

It's the same reason they're all about taking Bubba's mustang and demolishing old, cheap used cars, but not about nuclearizing the power grid.

The whole point is to oppress the lower classes, who they see as their moral inferiors, while feeling morally superior themselves.

that was in regards to recent traffic patterns during Covid. The correct, defensive driver esque response this year has been to just stop driving and WFH. so naturally everyone who doesn't do that is statistically more likely to be a Nascar driver in their Acura or truck or what have you.

This is deranged. First, only certain people even had the opportunity to make that choice. Second, I don’t think many WFH people stopped driving entirely, just commuting during commuting hours

It never made sense to me why so many people in so many industries all independently and organically develop that mentality. It isn't business school tropes because a lot of people don't go to college for this work anymore. It isn't a noble pursuit of brilliant and moral Work Ethic because the employees can do zero work as long as they are moving when they do it.

My ultimate conclusion is that it's a sign of raw stupidity.

You could make a chimp understand more work = more thing but where we are supposed to transcend to a slightly different level of critical thinking is being able to process additional variables. I'm sure if you promoted Mr Bobo to a Director level position he would start flinging poo poo and his adorable chimp sized hard hat across the floor when employees stopped working but what we are supposed to be able to understand is that the production line has to remain in a holding pattern for approval/parts/personnel that can arrive any second but have not yet. Screaming at people to go do busywork somewhere else actually loses money because when that approval/parts/personnel finally arrives at your line you now have to take additional steps to get everything ready again or this is the straw that broke the camels back and one of your trained experienced employees can not stomach being screamed at one more time and walks out?

Did your employee completely cover all inventory, cleaning and maintenance tasks in their completely empty department on a random Wednesday afternoon? WHY THE gently caress AREN'T YOU MOVING? YOU ARE BEING PAID.
