Big rise in Tesla stock tomorrow, surely
Wow, Elon himself on Lemmy!
This should bump the stock up another $50-60 tomorrow!!
That looks like it is super comfortable for the kitties.
So we're ok with demanding bosses in our capitalist paradise, right up until Prime Minister. We wouldn't want the leader of the entire country to run a tight ship now, would we?
In case it's not obvious to conservatives, whatever a liberal is, it's the incorrect thing. How do you not see it? If Carney was known to be a laid back boss, we would see the exact same people complaining about that instead.
More predictable than the sun rising.
Yeah, no. Fuck no.
It's offensive this is even being said. Makes me think they're already envisioning Canada as an integrated US state.
They're going to try. If things continue the way they're going, mark my words.
That was a really good take on the whole thing. The Oatmeal is my people.
You sort of answered your own question in your last sentence.
I don't have all the answers. But what I do know, is you are literally living in a country where 70% of political experts polled say the United States is no longer a democracy. You are clearly not just seeing backsliding but full on marching towards absolute fascism.
So if you want the real answer, it's that people are going to have to die and people are going to have to get very uncomfortable in order to turn this around. That, or (and the country is currently doing this) just accept fascism and hope it never comes for you.
If I was an American citizen, I would have been stockpiling food since January. I'd be spending as little money as I possibly can, squirreling away some savings. Most people can, despite what they say, if push really comes to shove. I'd be talking to like minded people and discussing what skills may be able to be traded for in a general strike or emergency.
I've laughed at for all of this multiple times, so I don't really expect it will happen much. But the boots will be on your necks first, even if they eventually come for mine. I'm already planning my life on the assumption it's coming for me. And I'm not even there.
Exactly. Wow at least one American that gets it. Mostly. The part where elections happen is for some reason a big mental block that almost everyone seems to have. You keep hope I guess but no way is that happening on this trajectory.
That's why I said "you better get phone numbers", ir the protest itself is toothless, so hopefully everyone was making the most of it.
I fucking love seeing all the downvotes when reality bites. Just so you know, downvoting on social media is not going to save your country, and your eternal optimism (read: blatant naivety) will be....nay, IS... your downfall.
