Where’s Terry Gilliam?

Just insane.

I always refer back to Peter Griffin.https://youtu.be/r5TGIRkL9JE

Sorry, I’m referring to the “better is better” argument many so-called liberals make: where we’re presented with a false choice and make apologies for one of the bad choices. Democrats v Republicans is an example. In this case it’s Destructive capitalism v Nuclear Capitalism. I just can’t say nice things about Costco because they’re part of the continuum of late stage capitalism that lead to what we’re seeing today.

Things like Hexagons and the golden spiral occurring in nature are interesting - but very well-travelled.

Yeap.

But Franco was still Franco…with his own purges, massacres, and various other fascisms.

The notion that Costco is providing a benefit to families is grotesque. They were just in on the ground floor of destroying our socio-economic fabric. A world full of Costcos is just a different capitalist hellscape.

I’m basically done with the “better is better” argument…it’s a false dichotomy. It’s why I compare Costco to Franco: at least Franco didn’t do a holocaust.

Our “liberal” government is indistinguishable from 80s/90s conservatives.

It’s gross that I have a single good thought about an abomination like Costco. It’s like cheering for Franco to overthrow Hitler.

Humiliate…in who’s eyes? MAGA?

My guess is the intent was always revenue…not security. Security was just the pretext for new revenue, because margins are thin and there’s a certain proportion of people who will pay to prioritize privacy.

It would only make sense if it was a one time fee, and you got your ID as a result.

We also know it’s not about security, or you couldn’t fly without one.

We know it’s a cash grab because they’re counting on a “built-in” amount of flyers who won’t have or will refuse to get ID with privacy issues. If, by some anomaly, more or all flyers acquire the ID, then we’d see maintenance fees added and the fee itself increased to maintain revenue certainty - but who are we kidding, those things will eventually happen anyways.

I’ll believe it when I see it. There’s all manner of illegal voter suppression happening that has unknown implications. Given millions of Dem votes were illegally thrown out or suppressed last time, we can’t expect that reality on the ground to match the outcome.

Hey just wants to oust (kill) Maduro because he’s still choked about his Bay of Pigs.

I mean…this is just another in the line of examples (that will get much longer) of Trump just saying what he wished happened, instead of what actually happened. Kirk shooter, ICE shooter etc

“The shooter was an immigrant from a poor country to we must ban all immigration from poor counties”. He doesn’t expect it to become relevant that the shooter was a lunatic hired by the CIA and imported by his own administration.
