Oh, I’m sorry… I might be too quiet.

The metaphor still works. Making our own problems then complaining about them is our defining characteristic as humans.

Why start making good decisions now?

Yes… it’s my CHILDREN’S fault.

You don’t have to think that about public services - it’s a fact. Just look at any country that nationalized a public service to see it in action. Water services in the UK are a particularly prime one.

It’s the same threat as a 5 year old threatening to hold their breath until they die if they don’t get their way.

Hmmmm… Lot to unpack here…

I appreciate this. I get the feeling anti-EU Europeans are going to develop greater support for the institution just as a “fuck you” to this asshole. Look how Canada came together when Trump started his 51st state bullshit.

The jobs that require actual skills and talent have never been compensated well, and the fluff executive jobs are reserved for Nepo babies and people with connections.

The only thing real education is going to be good for in the near future is increasing your knowledge and anxiety about how screwed everything is.

I said Dilbert. Not Scott Adams.

A lot of artists only received recognition after their lifetime because their works became a scarce resource that the rich could then use for circle jerking and tax breaks, and without any pesky living creator to have to pay or worry about doing things that put their investments at risk. It’s been the rich ruining everything and compensating nobody all the way down.

Of course. They’re up there making mochi.

Aqua just looks like that.

This is the hairstyle if you want to annoy Dilbert.

“Prop 50 was done by referendum, and referendums are against the Constitution which specifically outlines that decisions about the function of government are to be made exclusively by manipulative, self-serving elected representatives in the interests of the rich oligarchs who bought their seats. Thus, Proposition 50 is hereby struck down.”

Obligatory:
