Animals make terrible surprise gifts. They are a logistical and financial commitment!

If you're gifting an animal it better be exactly what they asked for.

1. That convenience often comes from the labor/exploitation of others.

2. It also makes us more exploitable. More access to convenience means more time available to work. Then we feed our wages back into the convenience because we're tired.

Me: I want to sign this out of contract player from you. I'm willing to pay the required $1M in compensation, even though he's worth $300k.

Them: Nah, we'll resign him for double the salary you're offering.

Me: Okay, can I borrow him for the season for free?

Them: Yes.

We know nothing is going to happen. There's been a genocide ongoing in gaza for 2 years and nobody has done anything to stop it. There is no international order. The US government and its allies can act with impunity.

They don't think they're public servants.

They think they're kings, princes, dukes, and barons. They control the government, and that makes them royalty, and that means our money should be used to buy them planes and gold-plated toys and gilded ballrooms
