  • Frankly, Starbucks workers need to quit en mass if they want to see change. The only way you’ll get these companies to listen is through a general strike. Stop working. It’s only here in the US that people make up excuses as to why it can’t happen.

    Get organized at the local level, create food pantries for affected workers, and pool money together for bills. The fact that we are so divided as a country that a mere thought of a community is seen as “communism.”

    I really want AOC as president, but it’s already fucking clear with the past 2 women nominees that the USA, despite claiming it is “progressive”, will not vote for a woman. Even a white woman couldn’t make it, what makes you think a brown one will again?

    Only time I see it happening is if there is mass social upheaval, a desire for change like with Obama. Today, the propaganda machine has amplified and division is rooted deeply. We crossed the Rubicon as a nation.

    Democrats are controlled opposition, which the belief is solidified by the recent senate vote. I’ll still vote blue, but if the politician option of it being a coward/establishment then I might as well vote for a rat. Absolute disgusted our elected leaders have no spine as Republicans continue on their quest to achieve fascism and white supremacy.

    Fuck those 6 and fuck Schumer.





  • You can buy a Tuff Shed for $20k with foundation installment, insulate it yourself, all for less than $27k. Toss in electrical, and water; you’re looking at around $40k. Permits and such will probably add another $10-$15k. Overall, you’re looking at $80k for a tiny home in a major city versus homes that go for more than $600k. Rurally in my county, I’ve seen homes go for $300k, so you’re still saving a fuckton of money.

    Tiny living absolutely goes against capitalism and our need to consume more than what we can handle to be further in debt by those who control the means.



  • It’s not just tiny homes are getting up their in price; they are extremely affordable. The issue is you’ll need to place it on a foundation and once you do, you’ll be beholden to the same permits as a regular sized house which can add a tremendous expense. Sure, you can go the trailer/on wheels route, but that opens up to other issues such as home theft (literally) to cities outright not allowing it on your lot.

    Also take into consideration that a lot of municipalities do not like tiny homes as it goes against the look of the town/city, to some even outright banning them to having exorbitant fees placed on them.

    I’ve looked into tiny homes and to save money, I would have to move out to the rural areas where I am permitted to build them without being hassles by the city. Oh, and if your neighbor doesn’t like your home, you can definitely expect frequent visits from the city inspectors to fuck your day over.

    All I want is a tiny home, and a big front/backyard to garden/self-sustain my family.

    I uses to do help desk; I showed up 15 minutes to have my cups of coffee as I browsed on my phone. End users complained that they saw me not doing anything/assisting them as I was off the clock.

    Boss told me to knock it off and work. So I ended up showing 15-30 minutes early to work and clock in that sweet extra time. Near the end of my employment, boss complained to me that I been racking in too much overtime.

    Make it make sense.

    You can ride any vehicle you want, but will also be opened up to criticism in your decision. No need to drive a massive dodge ram thats 5’ lifted. There was a study that shows those type of trucks cannot see pedestrians in front of them, posing a risk to school children and distracted drivers.

    The real issue is Big Auto circumventing laws to make these massive vehicles to avoid paying additional taxes on fuel efficient cars.

    At my kids school, there’s quite a few lifted vehicles with pristine paint jobs, letting others know that they never take their car out on trails let alone use it for what it’s made for. Pathetic pavement princesses.

    Some LCS’s (local card shops) are more Magic focused, some are more Pokémon focused, as well as Yugioh focused. They’ll still sell other product, but most likely have a core group of players who show up to play one type of game.

    The LCS I used to go to sold everything, but it was largely known to be the spot to play MTG/have tournaments consistently versus their Pokémon days.
