Imagine if your doctors earning 300k a year decide to strike to demand 600k a year and people are dying left and right as a result

Uh, yeah, that's basically what the people who get paid that much do. They say "I want more money", and then they get it because they are too important for employers to freeze out, or are valuable enough to get hired practically anywhere the second you let them go.

Turns out strikes are just that, but instead of one person, it's a bunch of people!

How does an owl have a cat?

1. Trans rights will keep getting better in blue states who give a shit and worse in red states regardless of who is president
2. Last time I checked, Biden is doing nothing about abortion, again, blue states who give a shit will do what they do no matter who is president
3. Yeah Trump is probably gonna be worse, but Biden isn't doing any meaningful reform
4. See above
5. No clue, so can't comment
6. lmao
7. LMAO
8. Just kill me already
9. Probably better than Trump, but I think the bar for that is 6ft underground
10. What the fuck does this even mean? Also, like, no? Biden has completely ignored COVID.
11. Sounds unlikely 12 and 13 are mutually exclusive. You can't militarily support a genocide while also being in favor of ending said genocide.

I mean, Disco Elysium had really interesting mechanics and an amazing story. So I wouldn't be opposed to another game with similar mechanics, or just more Disco Elysium...

Maybe, but if you get to fuck around and enjoy yourself, then why not?

The war has been going on for 8 months and we've known aid is not coming in fast enough pretty much the entire time. Why didn't they simply start construction earlier?

Shadowbringers is the best expansion though, so you should totally finish that. And Endwalker really ties everything together so you should finish that too :)

I agree with web browsers, so much lock-in for no gain for consumers.

But for web standards and protocols, well... Why? It's a huge amount of work for basically no gain. 99% of the web works fine right now and is supported by open source stuff. The government can't stop China from cloning public GitHub repos.

Do liberals even believe that Trump is that much of a threat to democracy and the US?

I've been thinking about it, and I kind of wonder, like if you had an absolute and unshakable belief that Trump was going to destroy democracy in the US, and that the destruction of democracy in the US would lead to the destruction of society as a whole.

Well why hasn't anyone tried to do anything naughty to Trump yet?

Of course, if you don't believe Trump is going to destroy democracy, or if you don't think that the destruction of democracy is that bad, then who cares. But it seems like liberals truly believe that American society is doomed if Trump is elected, so why haven't they taken that last step?

Probably not, things have to get so unbelievably bad for the value of a revolution to outweigh the value of doing nothing and letting capitalism continue (the lure that things might get better, right?). Things also have to be really bad in the place where you are too, because so long as the facade of normalcy exists (even if it is degraded), then people will naturally come to the conclusion that such things cannot happen to them, and that they shouldn't worry.

For example, if the USA managed to provide fuel, electricity, internet, and treats (even if somewhat intermittently) right up until it collapsed, no significant portion of the population would want a revolution until after that all got taken away, and didn't have the promise of being returned.

I looooooooooooooove Minds, what silly little guys doing silly little things :)

Unfortunately she is wearing a mask which means any and all sympathy the American public might've had for her is now gone.
