Yet.
It used to be that we couldn’t just round up US citizens and put them in internment camps, until suddenly Executive Order 9066 changed the rules to say we could.
Never rest in the comfort and safety of the status quo; evil can spring at any time.
I’m confused why you want to use anything other than old.reddit in the first place
Before we accept the *economic hardship" narrative, can somebody please let me know what their executive team is being paid?
Because I have a feeling they’d be feeling less “hardship” by reducing those numbers.
Because that’s how it works, right? When your house is flooded because of a burst pipe, when you replace the pipe then your house is magically unflooded right? I mean of course no reasonable person thinks that, but that seems to be the understanding you’re suggesting. Meanwhile you’re trying to say that if we do repair the pipe and the house is still flooded, rightly acknowledging that the pipe is 100% the cause of the flood is somehow… wrong?
The facts are that boomers fucked the world up, heavily, and did everything they could to hold onto power and rob the next generation (at least) of their deserved place in the driver’s seat of society, and cleaning up the messes and lessons left over by the boomers will take generations to clean up. The fact that boomer built long-term systemic problem without simple solutions does not mean that the boomers are not entirely at fault or that we aren’t entirely better off without them.
See it’s funny because we name things after other things
Of course then it won’t be long until TP companies triple their prices to compensate for this long on their end, but that’s the fun thing about capitalism: given enough time, everyone can lose!
You say that but I feel like we’re only a couple years from seeing automated TP dispensers that dole out tightly-rationed squares.
Won’t that mean everyone is walking around with shitty assholes, you might ask… And yes, yes I think it will. Which would make it sound impossible, until I tell you that corporations could reduce TP costs and improve their profits by 0.0001%; now it practically sounds like a shareholder mandate!

Unions are meant to protect the people from overpowered companies. The police union instead protects an overpowered force against the will of the people.
The police unions are absolutely antithetical to the idea of unions as a whole
I am for it
I never said free, I said they needed to adapt their business model. I also never said the reason didn’t make sense, but the ramifications remain the same even if there is good reason for the practice. Whether by design or not, they still share culpability.
It’s not talked about enough how “traditional news” is culpable for the rise of “fake news” by locking vital information and reporting behind exactly these kinds of pay walls, thus causing people to seek alternative free means instead. This is how fake news sites thrive; pushed into the forefront by traditional media who refuse to adapt their business models to the modern landscape.
Just fucking scroll past already duckweed.
As the saying goes, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
How else will those communities thrive off reddit if users like you don’t start or participate in them elsewhere?
It amazes that someone would post a stupid comment in a community focused on something they’re inately aggressively over instead of just not reading and scrolling past.
Hey that’s not fair!
…we’ve also got Star Trek memes.
