Thanks, I’ll check it out, though it’s going to take more than motivational books to pull the US out of the current nosedive…

I harbor a similar hope!

Excellent point!

Does EVERY axis in life have to be fucked up at the same time?

Can we have one thing that is just doing ok?

Government - fucked.

Education - fucked.

Healthcare - fucked.

Environment - fucked.

Housing - fucked.

Societal and Social Cohesion - fucked.

Wealth Inequality - fucked.

Personal Technological Autonomy - fucked, and under continuous attack.

Technological Enshittification - Running like gangbusters. So really - fucked.

Damn, someone give me some kind of ladder to climb out of this pit of despair.

Shit I try not to think about for $1200, Alex!

(But I can’t disagree with a word.)

Mine started the moment I heard they cancelled their DEI initiatives, and it almost began when they caved to the bigots about Pride month 2 Junes ago.

Let’s make their stock trend look like Tesla’s now does!

Thanks!

I never thought I’d be a cheerleader for arteriosclerosis, but here we are!

Well, we’re clearly talking about two different thresholds, but my happiness doesn’t require us to agree, and yours shouldn’t either.

Good day to you!

I’m sorry you feel that way. I welcome your mockery if we have something resembling a normal 2026 midterm and 2028 general.

I’m a little surprised so many folks don’t seem to realize we have crossed a threshold that may indeed spell the end of the US as we have known it up to now, and seem to think this was just another election. But, I guess for folks who haven’t witnessed that many of our elections in their lifetime it might seem that way.

If more people did realize that, I’d have a lot more faith that we’re going to be able to stop it.

Bold of you to assume we get more free elections.

If President Musk and VP Trump manage to actually destroy the country, I hope I live long enough to laugh at how quickly every last Cybertruck becomes an unusable hunk of stainless steel rotting away wherever it gasped its final breath.

how low do we have to go before everyone wakes up and sees this orange shitstain for what he is?

I don’t think anyone capable of seeing it doesn’t already see it. We have to make it through these four years as a nation and somehow move forward despite them all.

If congress somehow gets Trump removed via impeachment or similar means (I know the chances are near zero) I fully expect magas to be shooting people in the streets a day later, or a much more violent Jan 6 style event.
