She can, but as we all should, she will do whatever she wants.

When you're dead, no one remembers how much you worked except your kids

Margaret Thatcher was famous for working all the time and only sleeping a few hours a night.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago

she's mostly famous for being a cunt

And now she's famous for a pointless war.

Imagine downvoting that by being so used to thinking "Britain and Thatcher bad" that you "forget" that Argentina picked that fight because they were ruled by a fascist junta.

Or they could be ignorant of history and assume that the UK stole The Falklands from native people simply. I don't really blame people for that becaise Great Britain did that a lot, they're just innocent this time around

For those unaware, The Falklands were actually uninhabited by the time Great Britain colonized it. The only recorded settlers of the islands before that was a group of pirates that used them as a base. They ended up disrupting so much shipping that the US navy came in and wiped them out 50-100 years before Great Britain claimed the islands.

That’s probably why she got dementia and lacked empathy

Fucking Margaret Thatcher.

I hope her death was slow and painful.

Retires at 70 very American. At least she gets a good 7 to 10 years to enjoy in exchange for making her boss/capitalist owner rich.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Americans often work well past 70 and then die by 80. We're fucking stupid.

Why the hell did your comment get removed? I undeleted it at least on my instance.
