Thats just the two parts of enshitification. take away things you like and push things you don't. I still can't believe how bank sites can be so limited in what you can do but hey heres a useless feature we give so all good.

Realizing that each human life encompasses a time-space span of generally double digit years and miles. Further that a good life is good but a good death is superior to a bad life. Death is inevitable but it is a choice to "experience" the apocalypse.

I finally get the talk about the three boxes.

We are going to be as wealthy as two centuries ago. In the sense that daily life will be closer to that.

I get ya as we really needed to step up the game in 2k and we did quite the opposite. I think citizen kong has a good point that all they can do is their core function and teach critical thinking.

See. to me. we became the tax haven.

oh yeah. older you are the better prospects you have and the younger the worse. we can all see that. Heck even late boomers are down vs early ones. Silent generation you have things sucking when you were a kid but from there everything pretty much got better. Boomers never saw it bad till the very end of life. So they traded bad times between young kid and old age. Xers got to see and experience good times when young and experience the slow decline in early adulthood. millenials got a glimpse of the good times but never really got much of a taste and grew up when the decline was slow but the fast decline was their adulthood. Im concerned Z and beyond don't even have a perspective of better times and fall for it can only be so good for the average person.

I mean that sounds more like a tax haven situation. Honestly to stop that I think countries should require companies meet their tax rate globally where they can deduct what they pay elsewhere.

I would not even say it worked once in 83. Lower rates are one possible reason but like anything with the economy there are plenty of factors including cyclical changes that could explain it.

proven likely true means not proven true. Way to many factors. I personally thing the theory has a sorta merit but is very limited and vague (in the sense of there is no identification of where the exact sweet spot of taxation levels are). For example the punitive measures for not paying taxes at very high levels need to be very severe to curtail such behavior. So five figure owning person or mom and pop shop you give a slap on the wrist. Maybe 10% of owed added. Wealthiest individuals and companies get knocked completely out of their level so like 500% of what was owed.

Its not just healthcare too, but healthcare is up at number 1 with a bullet.

 

This comic is not some official announcement for the action. Last time folks seem to think this but the comic is a sorta diary of the artists life so things like this will pop up when they are going to go do it but they find out about it like anyone else at the various action communities and such. Just wanted to head that off because again, last time many folks treated it like it was some sort of official announcement but what it really is about that the artist is going to be involved with a thing tomorrow so since a significant event in their life they are doing a comic on it today since the comic runs m-f (although the artist has a schtick they do on saturday that uses a template so is not much work and posts sorta whatever they feel like on sunday. The main thing is they essentially take the weekend off.). That being said they did have this in the notes section of their site - https://handsoff2025.com/ - https://brandfolder.com/s/trktmftbhrcpqjrmcjgk5cxm

 

I hate all this bs. I want progressive taxes, regulations, and social services. It galls me with all this smokescreen crap.

 

I do just love it when folks dis voting or action or anything like that. Oh don't do stuff because its not going to work or your just trying to make yourself feel good. eff off bootlickers and everyone do whatever you feel you need to (do try to always vote with some judiciousness and conscientiousness).

 

That is not something I would think to eat but im guessing I could eat most everything that had enough sugar, salt, and vinegar. Its like the rule of deep frying or cheese sauce.

 

I was watching buffy and the eighth episode of the first season a demon is scanned into the computers. This is a funny time as its when people where online with dialup. All the same it had a quote I feel is apropos to the current period. Truns out that show had a bit of the simpsons precog ability:

Giles: Nonsense! I simply don't adhere to a, a knee-jerk assumption that because something is new, it's better.

Ms. Calendar: This isn't a fad, Rupert! We are creating a new society here.

Giles: A society in which human interaction is all but obsolete? In which people can be completely manipulated by technology, well, well... Thank you, I'll pass.

 

artist comment was they made this three years ago (thus the pregnancy). I don't recall seeing it though so im guessing they ended up not using it at the time.

 

I think its the first time baby angel demons have been seen. The demon/angel population is really booming in the strip.

 

I think in the past I mentioned the artist puts in a comment on the site and often a different comment in the rollover text. If you like the comic todays is a particularly good one to go to the site for https://thedevilspanties.com/ Also I once again posted this initially to a wrong community. I have no idea how I manage to do these things.

 

This is a rare departure from the usual setting.

 

I find the youngest baby kid trying to brush the husbands hair to be funny.

 

Granted I would like to live in a more civil society and I thought we were at least going in that direction for about half my life but the rate we have been falling in the second half has been very sobering.

 

Have not heard one this good since the united healthcare one.
