Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The optimist of the group.
Wrote up my predictions for 2026.
-I think 2025 will have been rock bottom.
-The Trump coalition is going to panic and fall to infighting as election day draws closer.
-The AI bubble will get even more obviously bubbly.
-We'll begin the long road to repair.
🤞

Let’s be clear. I understand that there are practical limits due to cost and other such factors, but you can never put “enough” Parmesan cheese on a Caesar salad.

It’s so sad to watch as people slowly start to realize that this a likely outcome.
I honestly don't think the house will ever be gaveled back into session. I think this is it. Why would Mike want Congress back? Trump is all that matters and Congress has agreed they are fine with that. No reason to have elections anymore. He's already back in the WH and building a bunker
at first i didn’t think this government shutdown wouldn’t beat trumps previous longest shutdown ever but i’m genuinely at the point where it’s possible he’s just going to keep it shutdown alongside congress for a couple of months minimum, maybe longer
