I appreciate your positive forward looking aspirations for our country.

Right you are!

Given the future date, expected inflation, and the continuing consolidation of wealth, we should actually be fixated on the future trillionaires!

if only there were a way to pay for things that are desperately needed….

10/19/2025 6:54:44 PM

Sorry, no can do.

i'm not against taxes. i just think a more equitable framing would be "appropriate taxes on billionaires citizens to fund it"

[Edited on October 19, 2025 at 7:49 PM. Reason : including billionaires of course. they're the ones who created most of the money we're gonna need to pay for things after all]

[Edited on October 19, 2025 at 7:51 PM. Reason : just unproductive to treat the *-aires as some sort of slur]

[Edited on October 19, 2025 at 7:52 PM. Reason : just seems there's a lot of pent up energy among a certain demographic to bring back guillotines ]

Could they just stop being douchebags for a bit, though?

At least Andrew Carnegie used his wealth to try to benefit society.

most of them are fine. or at least fine adjacent. most people who reach this conclusion are mostly just triggered by the autistic ones.

yeah i'd like to see a bit more of that instead

10/19/2025 8:33:41 PM

This makes me worried for our immediate future.

10/19/2025 9:14:52 PM

I'd settle for fine adjacent.

Congrats on barely beating a far right party headed by a guy with Trump hair. But better thank barely losing!

Just in the past few months African countries have almost exponentially increased the number of solar panels they’re buying to the gigawatt range almost entirely from China.

We could start seeing an actual dent in carbon emissions over the next 10 years.

you know how in school they make the kids stand up every morning and recite the pledge of allegiance

how about we make the leader of each UN member state post a selfie video every morning on their twitter saying "today I commit my nation to live in peace with all other nations of the world"

that way, if any of them stop doing it, we will be able to tell for sure who's the problem when world peace crumbles

That doesn't seem very supportive of Israel

1/10/2026 11:21:24 PM

requiring kids to do the pledge of allegiance is absurd and needs to stop
