Husband and dad. Career #railroad. Ashamed #Montana native. Big on #solar and #evs. Proudly, aggressively anti-fascist. #Microblogging since 2005. I write a lot about #USpol and #MTpol, and therefore I swear a lot. The entirety of the Democratic Party is to the right of me and millions of other Americans. I can’t believe I have to specify this, but all toots are my own thoughts and opinions, not my employer’s. Who would even think that?

@VikingChieftain It’s such a helpless feeling being in the industry and watching this happen from the inside. All I can do is be the best caretaker of my territory that I can possibly be, and hope that others are as diligent.

@DemocracyMattersALot A more persuasive course of action would be for a million people to show up at that address and refuse to leave until the two openly corrupt justices and the three justices who were appointed by a traitor all resign. Honestly, I cannot understand why this isn’t already happening.

BRUCE DICKINSON: How To Get Over Your Fear Of Flying

You’re being shorted. A lot.

Prior to 1974, wages and productivity rose equally in the U.S., because that’s how things are supposed to be. However, since 1974, wages have fallen every year with respect to productivity. Today, you’re being paid roughly 40% what you’re worth. There are two ways to remedy this:

  • Demand that your wage be increased by 480% and held there for the next 50 years to make up for the pay you’ve been shorted

or

  • Cut your productivity by 60%

Work accordingly.

I like how when Russia makes an advancement, it’s always like “After 15 months of combat and 80,000 casualties, Russia has successfully captured a strategically insignificant pile of rubble that was once a small city. Also, Ukrainians shot down 3 Russian fighter jets and one of only 5 radar planes, and also sunk another large warship.”

Red flag: In the US, " are dead last among all occupational groups and professions in feeling their opinions count at work, that their supervisor creates an open and trusting environment and that they are treated with respect each day. Teachers are also the highest of all professions in experiencing burn-out and stress. And it’s no wonder why half of all teachers are currently looking for a new job."

@petrescatraian most Americans can’t conceptualize what a “far left” party would even look like. For most, our center-right Democratic Party is what they consider “left”. @jeffowski

When I was a kid, I was led to believe that being smart would be much more important in adult life than it turned out to be in this golden age of stupidity.

OGjester,
@OGjester@stranger.social avatar

@VikingChieftain yes... it seems that the path to “success” goes through all the characteristics that we were led to believe were bad - dishonesty; lack of integrity, accountability, or conviction; having no empathy - embracing these fundamental character flaws is how one gets ahead in this shit world.

@StillIRise1963 I’ve wondered aloud for seven years now; how are we supposed to accept court rulings - from on down - when we have judges who were appointed by a traitorous Russian asset?

We are partners in a genocide against the Palestinian people.

AOC stated in an interview that the Israeli case against UNRWA "is unraveling."

Truthout says, "Report Finds “No Evidence” in Key Dossier to Support Israel’s UNRWA Allegations"

: you see, when the 14th Amendment says, “No person shall... hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, who, having previously taken an oath... as an officer of the United States..., to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof,” they didn’t mean Trump, because political hackery takes priority over basic right and wrong.
