  • I’m no fan of Democrats either. It’s awful how bad both parties are kowtowing to Netanyahu and his genocidal rampage. That said, I’d rather have had a government that didn’t also turn fascist, further fuck up the economy, not treat our rights like they’re just rude suggestions, and further destabilize the global peace.

    I’m sorry but I have no faith in half the American people. They have a short attention span and are so uneducated that they won’t think critically of the ramifications of electing another Republican in power. They have a strong desire to fulfill their own self interests and will vote for anyone who promises to lower their taxes, even if they come with some other insane goals that remove the rights of so many.

    Even now you have news stories of Trump voters having their spouses deported but they won’t denounce him regardless. Frankly the only reason some conservatives are angry now is because they’re losing money on the stupid trade wars, the scaring off of cheap immigrant labor, and dismantling of civil institutions that indirectly help them. America’s willing destruction of all its soft power abroad and violations of civil liberties at home mean nothing to them. If things somehow get back to normal, you better believe they’ll come right back to the very same people responsible for all their misery they’re in right now because they want to see the value of their bank account get a little higher.











  • After my latest contract gig expired, a friend called me up telling me about a job fair at his company that was interviewing and hiring on the same day. Before this all my engineering jobs were temporary 2 year stints working for major biomedical companies but under job agencies so they can avoid paying benefits and treat people like me as second class citizens. We had different color badges and wouldn’t be welcomed to company parties or have bonuses like the regular employees, it was demoralizing.
