In Europe and South East Asia you’re mostly good? It’s not hard to think of countries that do better than the US regarding access to healthcare and reasonably affordable living.
Don’t know about migrants from the US though… We worked hard for this. We don’t want these slackers leeching off what we built. Maybe they should just get off the couch and get to work and build their own functional society. /s
Or IT equipment.

Good thing we upgraded all the end points to windows 11! Yellow Key Exploit ☠️
Already have. Do you think it’s a singular event to attend? No, it’s many small things that eventually grow into big things if they have to.
Look at all the flock cameras destruction. See how that’s happening cross country will minimal repercussion? People are learning they can become ungovernable.

I hate this kind of kumbaya take. It serves to lessen the need for real action.
On the other hand, there’s surveillance specifically for organized action while unorganized action is much harder to police.
You’ve been trained on history books that highlight huge events, and action movies. The real world is about slow pressure over long times.

How is people taking down cameras not action? It’s more action than posting here…
When being lazy finally becomes too difficult
While people are willing to pay for some poor bastard to bring a milkshake to their door in 115° heat without thinking about the slave doing their bidding just to survive, ‘Murica will keep doing what’ Murica does
Exploiting people. Being a collective example of every single thing that people can do to treat others badly
And they will be pissy when they are called out for it

My guess is never, but let’s see what happens in November. Cancelling the elections or obvious tampering or outright disregard of the outcome will probably spark mass protests. Things can happen from that. There will be heavy military presence, but if millions show up… who knows? Still, we tough and independent Americans will likely just bend over and take it in the ass. It looks like the home of the brave was the easiest country for the wealthy elite to take.
I don’t think anything can spark mass protests in the US personally

At least for the gas this is the start of a better way of thinking about the problem. When I still lived in the US, I heard ppl complain about the price of gas all the time. However, I never heard complaints about our dependency on gas or the economic problem that the cheapest stuff there is per volume felt expensive to buy.

One of the things that feeds into my insufferable smugness about living in a walkable city is I haven’t paid for gas in years (outside of like… maybe 2 road trips a decade). It’s just not something I think about.
I had the luxury of being able to move somewhere with trains and buses, though.

There how I’ve reframed it every time I hear it. So how are you reducing your need for gas? I’m biking and taking transit so it has stopped hurting so much. Try to alter their thinking from “this is unavoidable” to “I guess we could do fewer trips”

Gas prices have been higher, both in a relative and absolute sense, if you’re looking at the USA’s national average. The biggest issue now is that these prices are due specifically and directly to Donald Trump, his administration, and the complicity of the courts and congress. They were avoidable and unnecessary.
This is in DIRECT contrast to his campaign promises: Lower prices, Day One. He’s going to immediately lower prices.
Average intelligence people and above knew that this was a lie from the get go. That millions upon millions of American voters believed it, is a shame.

Crazy that you mention gas before groceries, when food is one of the few things you absolutely need to survive
