  1. watching that i'm thinking "this guy is probably from miami" then he mentions miami places. so cringe. so gross.
  2. the Qanon telegram channels are saying this bridge collapse was planned/staged and there "are no coincidences" and that "CNN was there a day before the collapse camping out" . idk what the fuck that all means but it's fucking dumb of course.
  3. jfc. i love that the truck says "Stop the TRANNY" instead of tyranny
  4. one of my teachers showed us rare clips of starving soviets fighting over a live rabbit then eating it raw. also talked some about siege of leningrad
  5. antiwork is now a private sub reddit. i was a member... 1 of 1.7 million.. and followed the sub. but they booted a bunch of people out i guess. idk. fckn drama. there's already another subreddit though. called workreform. https://www.reddit.com/r/WorkReform/ everything is dumb everywhere.
  6. zero. but a bunch of boomers who don't use streaming services might have noticed and asked "what's spotify? who's joe rogan?"
  7. sarah hightower podcast appearance. about cults and on lines stuff and general discussion of how it all happens etc etc https://www.theloopcast.com/e/discussing-extremism-and-cults-with-sarah-hightower/
  8. without a doubt absolutely true. the turn to capitalism was met with resistance. peasant wars.. the enclosures.. all kinds of mass uprisings against church and state. people considered a wage to be an insult and worse than slavery.. when previously they were living off the land that they were subsequently denied access to.
  9. "If we remove Saddam Hussein Iraqis will embrace democracy and it'll be paradise" really though. none of this is going to happen.. i mean.. some socialism might happen in america after it goes fascist in time for the ultimate doomsday climate collapse cumming event that half the country seems to want.. but then maybe after the survivors decide that individualism sucks for humanity and something more collective would work better.. then maybe the fish people will allow the land walkers to coexist in crypto free money cumminism... but not before then.
  10. i don't see everything in black and white. but as stated.. the hospital could've done this differently or just not been shitty to start with and there are other hospitals. patients can be transferred. it's not like there aren't solutions. the hospital just wanted it to be its way or the highway. it's an interesting thing to speak to healthcare workers in america even in non-pandemic times. in portland, which is a mid sized city, there are 3 or 4 large healthcare/hospital systems. turnover for staff varies but seems to be a constant. i've spoken to enough nurses in the last few years to know that many only stay at a place for a few years and move on. that's pre-pandemic. it's an even more difficult job now. also, there's hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of staff in these systems and individual hospitals.. 7 healthcare workers wouldn't cripple a hospital. sure, maybe in certain departments with certain qualifications it's gonna be a crunch.. respiratory therapists etc but as said.. there are other hospitals.. patients can be moved. that happens all the time anyways. states can also reach out to the federal government for support which has happened a few times during the pandemic. national guard.armed forces sent medical staff to add support to hospitals in different places. i think it happened here in oregon. it's not like the hospital was going out of business and everyone was walking off the job leaving patients hooked up to IVs. it's just that 7 people found better jobs with better pay and better conditions. being told by a judge that they can't leave is a major over reach imo. there was no contract broken by the staff when they found other jobs.
  11. who says they're short sighted? this is maybe just the first step.
