This is how you know the Navy isn't like Star Trek.

We've given them plenty of opportunity. We tried to pass something closer to universal health care, and they shot it down. We tried to raise the minimum wage, they shot it down. Tried to relive student loans, tried to make housing more affordable, nothing.

They have had their warnings.

Looked to me like an attempt to pull off an in-line bulleted list.

Shot in officer involved shooting?

Shot by a police officer.

I mean, we've been trying to do other things, but they won't play nice. I guess we need to exterminate a few, then offer the rest the opt-in to pay higher taxes as an alternative.

As I understand it, these sweatshop jobs do resist the standard of living in the areas they are in. The people there don't have the option to work a job that we would consider good. They work the job we consider terrible, and they get paid more than they would doing other jobs.

To make a moral judgement, we must balance between "terrible working conditions, no protections, maximum wealth extraction," on the one hand, and "no infrastructure, no job, no money" on the other. Sadly, there is no profit in making the world better for everyone.

No, unacceptable.

Undo, undo!

Are you using the US or China as your "here?" Because I don't think it's quite that bad in the US, but I don't think anyone blames the voters in China.

I think it refers to being being out at work, or at a major event.

If I shit myself at work, I'm going home. I'm not coming back, either.

If I'm out hiking, same again.

If i'm running errands, I might have to go back out to finish them. The groceries aren't gonna buy themselves, and now I really have to do the laundry.
