Continuing to insist we must "earn a living" while simultaneously reducing our ability to earn anything at all is not a viable social contract and is how to get people to start building guillotines instead of resumes.
It's universal basic income and healthcare or things pop off.

🇨🇦 If you are a Canadian who still wants to travel to the US, you may want to put that thought aside.
The US Thought Police want your social/personal history for the last five years.
If you have said anything against Felon 47 you might be banned or jailed.

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social Just finished reading. Can highly recommend. Smart, insightful, compassionate. Covers much of the same ground as Spong, Erhmann, Crossan et. al -- but the breezy tone and pop culture refs make it approachable, even fun. Yet don't let that distract you from its sincerity.

What kind of shithole country allows this much blatant corruption?
It used to be an impeachable offense.
Now it’s a daily occurrence.

US Secretary of state Marco Rubio has ordered diplomatic correspondence to stop using the Calibri font and return to the traditional Times New Roman.
The Biden administration had made the switch because Calibri is considered to be more accessible for people with reading challenges.

The moment Trump pulls us out of NATO, the rest of the member nations need to vote Ukraine in.
And yes, if you need to kick out Hungary to do this, by all means go ahead.
Orban is a Russian ally anyway.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.
