“outlawing “discriminatory abortions” or “prohibiting physicians from performing an abortion when a physician knows the purpose is based on genetic abnormality”
Lol loved the ending and the shift in how they spoke and acted during the bit about gender. You know how someone will say So-and-so should talk to Jake Roberts about promos? Or insert whatever other example. I’ve long thought Abadon should have a chat with Rosemary. Not to copy or whatever, but Rosemary probably has good advice on character movement in front of cameras. Just that little bit extra for their character. So cool to see how far they’ve come.
Their perspective on using they/them pronouns and still being billed as “The Living Dead Girl” was interesting. I honestly never thought of it that way.
EDIT: Screwed up the pronouns while discussing their pronoun usage. I blame lack of caffeine.
Even adjusted for “inflation” they’re making record profits for the most part.
They just realized that since a handful of giant corporations control all the major brands, if everyone raises prices no one has other options.
It’s fucking price fixing. And neither political party wants to do anything because they get a lot of donations from corporations to pretend there’s any other reason for this besides greed.
The trick they used to fire it up "inflation" is hitting staples like eggs and meat... very smart move and like criminal but jack shit Daddy Sam gonna do for stupid peasants here.
Rent is another one, they are not even going after well off, they are literally punking people from the bottom up.
When the gov and giant corps are in bed together, it almost makes for a fascist state. Just need to solidify the power into one, maybe two parties for good PR and…oh wait…
There has to be at least two so they can argue about stuff that doesn’t effect the people so wealthy to be insulated from them…
Meanwhile no matter who wins an election, the rich win 100% of the time.
Bonus point if your two official parties are also “private groups” who can do literally anything they want. They could even legally nominate the exact same person to the general even if that person didn’t run in either primary.
They’re private parties, they can do whatever the fuck they want and they’re also the only ones who can change the system they dominate.
You do that, and revolution is more of an inevitablity on a long enough timeline.
It’s also because as social security is closer and closer to failing, seniors are extremely reliant on retirement plans that rely on always increasing stock market values.
Stock only go up when profits go up. Everything else be damned.
The worst thing over the middle of the pandemic was when news reporters started using the i word.
It’ kind of crazy how quickly the tone of interviews from industry reps and leaders shifted. From: “We’re sorry but we’ll all get through this. There are supply chain shortages due to not being able to transport or produce these essential goods and it leads to a chain reaction”
to
“YUP inflation. Sorry nothing we can do about it you know how that economy do.”
He also demonstrates how industry was responsible for significant deforestation around their centres. It has also been linked to collapse of civilisations.
Yeah, I’ve come to realize even in the medieval world, people had a huge impact on the environment even then. Esp. regarding wood. There’s a reason cutting wood and gathering sticks was valuable–people needed daily cooking fires, and heat in the winter.
Add industry, even just smelting iron, bronze, copper, or firing bricks, and that’s an even bigger need for fuel.
I imagine natural game was under similar pressures, which is why people moved to herding/farming instead of relying on hunting and gathering. And game was also affected by trees being cut for industry and fuel.
Glassblowing was another big one. Plus framing for stone construction.
Colonialism seems to born out of the need for more wood since it underpinned all energy, trade, and construction. We can see now how fossil fuels are working out for us instead.
There are some good examples of bay side cities being abandoned due to siltation of their bays, some kilometres worth of silt. Massive centres of trade and then nothing due to erosion because of a lack of trees.
If John/Primitive Tech can focus on efficient energy usage then all the better.
The way Cutler talked about "sources have confirmed" that BTE is done makes me think that news was wrong and this is them playing along. Or it's real, I don't care. We win either way!
