“Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the Earth itself to nobody.”

– Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Thank you. I'll look into it.

I have an expensive burr grinder that's been sitting idle.
I don't believe that.

She's clearly older than 16.
And I would have taxpayer dollars used to pay the people who clean, break down and rebuild everything.

There is no reason for anyone in the richest nation in the world to go without while perfectly good things are left to rot.
If I ruled the world, at the very least every useable thing would be cleaned, repaired and given free to people who need them.

And I know the house itself is likely in an inconvenient location, so I would have broken down and the good materials used to build free housing.

One of my favorite YouTubers just did some urban exploration on an abandoned house.

It's in a remote area and shows no signs of being a homeless encampment.

It's full of old clothes, furniture and odds & ends that are likely still useable and has been sitting unused for over 30 years.

The deeply unprofessional masked goons are now going to subcontract their bounties to completely unprofessional armed goons. Awesome.
“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.”

Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.
ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants
Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate — and paid cash bonuses for performance.

I haven't seen whole beans in local stores for years and have had to use pre-ground.

I can order beans online at a ridiculous markup.

It feels odd to complain about this when over 42 million Americans have lost their SNAP benefits, but loss of little comforts hopefully motivates the comfortable.

MARY: "Well, aren't you clever! But have you ever heard of film editing?"
Victim blaming is a common thread throughout history.

Even victims blame other victims. It's the path of least resistance.

Widespread suffering tends to suppress empathy.
I've been saying it's going to suck to be the first ICE agent on the business end of an angry mob.

Yes, it will suck for everyone else afterwards, but that guy is likely to really regret his life choices.
I have to unplug for a while. I keep getting intrusive thoughts about seeing people get hit in the face with a pipe.

Food banks were already struggling to keep with demand. Then, Trump slashed $1 billion from crucial USDA programs supporting them.

Now, thanks to his shutdown, food assistance for millions of Americans is about to try up.

The perfect storm of cruelty.

If a business throws food away rather than giving it to their employees or people in need, they should pay a massive fine.

I mean more than the profit from the food if they sold it. We should ruin any business vile enough to throw away surplus and let people go hungry.
Nobody in the most prosperous time in human history should starve, and we should all treat anyone who suggests otherwise as a danger.
If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.

"But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.
Since the stock market is a rigged gambling operation used to benefit billionaires, I don't care.

Humans lived fine without either for hundreds of thousands of years. We'll be fine without it.

I just can't find this amusing.

Not when pure dumb luck has put so much power in this dipshit's hands.
