I am An Old (mid 50s). My ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE I was promised a utopian existence where manual labor and drudgery were eliminated by technology so I could be free to read, write, draw, make music, or whatever. Instead the tech will do all that while I labor in the mines (Amazon Fulfillment Ctr).

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

they are clearly trying to terrify everyone out of showing up to the No Kings protest and I simply do not think it is going to work

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

I love how Ben Shapiro's new book divides society up into "lions" (who build institutions and ideals) and "scavengers" (who tear those things down), which is a great metaphor except that lions are scavengers

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”
