I'm not quite sure this is the right sub. While the building itself sounds like it may be in danger of collapse, it does sound like garden variety mismanagement instead of being related to the polycrisis and civilizational issues.

Ah yes, its EuroCentric imperialism to want to preserve the environment and the sovereignty of indigenous people that live there.

Trying to stop power from being consolidated into a single corrupt individual who threatens other countries, implements rightwing, religious, and authoritarian policies is just the imperialists attempting to hold power. We need a führer general secretary president like that who will usher in real democracy.

If it dies in your roof, it will rot, then smell, then maybe stain if youre unlucky.

The Atlantic found out what family it was based on death records and ended up speaking with them.

There's nothing explicitly against vaccination for the Amish IIRC, but they're generally distrustful of modern medicine so their vaccination rates remain low.

I think an end in this way was foreseeable. I think a segment of the left, particularly the authoritarian left, had a naïve notion that the end of the US empire would inevitability result in some form of class awareness instead of just nostalgic fascism and evangelical millenarianism.

We'll need each other more than ever in the death throes.

What a bizarre and shitty take.

Is every citizen of a country entirely responsible for the worst actions of its government? Aren't like half the posts on .ml about how awful and unresponsive to the will of the governed countries are?

I've been tear gassed and shot at by cops for the better part of the last few decades, am I responsible for the actions the government was taking despite my opposition? And not everyone can be in the streets either and the right place for those that can't can be art. We need people making making dissident media to spread the message.

Who's gonna post this to c/carnivore?

They dont offer more than the insurance payout, that's the whole catch. They give you 20 cents on the dollar today in order to pocket the 80 cents when you die and your family gets nothing.

A very similar thing is dead peasant policies by your employer, who can secretly take out policies on low level employees who have health issues to bet on a payout.

IIRC Its a Wonderful Life was referencing that George was worth more dead than alive, ie he should kill himself for payment of the policy. This is new, that you'd get paid by a 3rd party to take a policy on yourself (or others!) then the 3rd party cashes in and not your estate when you die.

The thumbnail is indeed AI and if you read the article you'd know that the slop in question is something a fascist posted and not something the journalists generated.

About 54% of people voted for the wrong Dan Sullivan in 2020, so I'd wager a lot of them probably will again.

I didn't even mention child labor in my comment, although that is a problem (and a growing one in the US).

My question is if there's gross exploitation by international corporations is it capitalism or if the flag is red does it just become sparkling exploitation?
