No no, it's fine, let Berkshire Hathaway be the ones to jump into pitchfork mob of every homeowner in the largest economy within the US

You think that corporation is going to agree to takeover pg&e without also getting agreement from the government to not be held liable? This will be painted as "awesome, empathetic but also well-run corporation comes to save California. rejoice! don't blame them for that other terrible, evil corporation that preceded it. also they get to make money now, but they'll make money in a different way somehow..." meanwhile the tax payer has to pick up the pieces and the cycle continues.

I look forward to the coming weeks and weeks of 0% cloud coverage until two days in late January when 24 inches of rain fall all at once and half the state washes away.

They cut the power off, lines go down, fire sweeps through burning all the trees, a torrential downpour causes flash floods and mudslides then an earthquake.

The aristocrats.

I had to update my license because I moved a couple years ago to get out of my old rental after it turned out there was asbestos in the visibly cracking walls and my landlord's response was "lol tough poo poo your rent is cheap enough you should live with it" and the default was to get a Real ID. Anyway turns out the whole thing is a sham because to get the Real ID I had to prove US Citizenship, but then a couple weeks ago when I was in a situation where I needed to prove my citizenship I gave my Real ID and was told "no this isn't good enough." What the gently caress is it even for then lol.

You don't need to be a citizen to get Real ID.

They've essentially dismantled testing infrastructure, and no one is reporting anyway. I know case counts lag behind wastewater but it's still fucky:

FYI... this graph is pretty interesting. So far, this is mostly a massive spike among the unvaccinated. Will be interesting to see what it looks like when they update it tomorrow.



Vaccinated defined as? This is important I think, if you've had a recent booster vs. 2/3/4 (but no recent fifth).

Given the current strains are Omicron (Omicron is Variant, the mutations within are Strains, right? Been a while since I read the good Covid thread), bivalent might be doing heaps of work here. As with everything that requires lots of data and time, too early to know?

I do. I’d call a group of Latino politicians saying racist poo poo about black people or other Latino groups racist, but I wouldn’t call them white supremacist.

Maybe it’s a distinction without a difference. :shrug:

I didn't say all of them are white supremacists, I said they all work in support of it. I also didn't say knowingly in support of. De Leon/Latinos fighting against black people is absolutely in aid of white supremacy. You dig?

i do work with DSA but i live in the middle of nowhere and i am not a computer toucher who's retired or working remote 20 hours a week so my time to organize is limited. mostly i show up and help out sometimes.

You're doing 100% more than 99% of people that wonder why things are getting worse and lament that the people before them also didn't do anything.

I will be mocked but here's what I did to stop wanting to kill myself.

-Educated myself on why this is happening.
-Deleted Reddit, Facebook and Instagram.
-Joined the DSA.
-Through DSA got connected to people organizing in something I'm interested in.
-Learned how to 'organize' (and how not to, it's the DSA and anarchists after all).
-Joined a communist party.
-Learned/Confirmed what I really needed to be doing.
-Began learning how to organize effectively.
-Quit my 20 hour week remote upper level computer job and got a 40 hours onsite low level computer job in a big team.
-Joined my union.
-Got involved in my union.
-Befriend, Agitate & Educate and demonstrate leadership to my fellow workers.

Took 3 years to get here but for the first time in 10 years I feel alive, connected, and optimistic. I'm surrounded by revolutionaries, men older than me with kids, 17 year olds with 2 years left in high school that are smarter Marxists than I, college students that work 20+ hours a week organizing and serving the people.

It makes you feel better. Do it!

All of this is very good and I super support it. I think it's also worth pointing out that sometimes people go online to post and blow off steam and aren't necessarily just blackpilling themselves into oblivion, and that's also a fine way to keep oneself going.

Nah if they're whining but then don't do anything then they're just like the boomers they're complaining about. Remember, I didn't say people posting here are doing nothing, I asked people posting here what they're doing about it.
