I don't even remember where I heard this said but some talking head somewhere said that once all the data centers get built electricity costs will decrease. WTF? Once they're up and running, their usage won't decrease.
The scene where Melania was laughing... The Dude should have leaned back and have it be Justin Trudeau.
As for the MAGA Carnival Cruises, I love this idea. And it would be so on point of the cruise ship got Tomahawked or torpedoed by the U.S.
If someone lives paycheck to paycheck and 100% of their paycheck goes toward rent/mortgage, car payments, utilities and food, where is the "disposable" income?
I remember being a poor college kid and that being my life. Going out meant knowing where the cheapest happy hour drinks were and making sure it was a Mexican place so the chips and salsa were free. And only doing that maybe 2-3 times a month. Never going on Spring Break during the 5 years I was in school because I couldn't afford it and would work the extra hours that week because I was off from school. Picking up holiday shifts and working Christmas, Thanksgiving and NY's day because they paid time and half.
That's the reality for most people in this country not the bubble that we live in here.
I disagree with "don't do shit at work". A fuck ton of corporations would welcome a way to cull their workforces and this would give them a reason.
Go to work and do your job. But don't spend any money that day. That's an impact that cost nothing to anyone except the message it sends.
Or someone torches Mar-A-Lago and sinks all the super yachts of Bezos, Ellison, etc.
And by tell, you mean giant weezing weiner?
Don't do a general strike. Do a series of one day "boycotts". No trip to Walmart or Target. No on-line shopping. No commerce of any kind. Sure, people will shop the day before or after. But one day boycotts like this send a pretty serious message that "we have more control than you fuckers think."
The Trump Admin getting upset about Ontario using Reagan footage is quite ironic considering how often they use copyrighted music and video without permission.
