  • Like, you know he’s not personally involved in the design or manufacture of these things right

    Not everybody does. I’ve seen some threads, mostly on insta, where people were fallomg over themselves to get on their fucking knees to slob on Elon’s nob. I get that the average insta user isn’t the brightest, but people like that do exist.

    And it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, because there is a chance that the hard work of the engineers, laborers, and Shotwell will be used for Elon’s fame throughout history.

    So yeah, fuck Elon. The tech is cool as fuck though.







  • The root problem is that there is a huge self capturing black market demand for drugs, which itself is a problem rooted in capitalist countries throughout the americas prioritizing GDP expansion over human wellbeing.

    It’s the result of failing healthcare systems, the evaporation of 3rd places, the requirement of a car to survive, the failing housing system, the lack of job security and mobility, etc

    No amount of military intervention can change that. Even if you somehow successfully destroyed every cartel with a button press, they’d all be replaced overnight because of the huge demand for drugs.

    What can actually effect the demand is:

    • food, water, housing, education and healthcare being well funded human rights

    • mixed used development/relaxation of zoning laws

    • transportation infrastructure that allows people to actually have a choice in how they get places

    • unions, workplace democracy, worker protections

    You get the picture. Life actually has to be worth living.
