  • Because their private security force (the police) protect them. The pressure on the police over the past few years hasn’t caused a shortage in cops, but that’s because signing bonuses and pay have gone up. Which would be great, except they’re paid for by our taxes, and the rich and powerful keep raising the police budgets despite loud calls from the masses to reduce them. And you can tell that this would be helpful to us because the corporate-owned media outlets quickly and strongly shit all over the “defund the police” movement as being something that would ruin the country.

    I didn’t start having time until I started making more money. Going to the laundromat takes half the day if you don’t want your shit stolen or your machine taken mid load and you find your dirty wet clothes dumped out on the floor. Having a washer and dryer in your home makes laundry a nearly passive chore. I have that as well as a dishwasher. When I finally got a job that pays well, I relocated for it and got an apartment that has those, plus a trash chute just a couple doors down. Once we were unpacked and settled in, I bought a roomba too.

    I work 12 hour shifts, so it’s amazing to come home and not have all that bullshit to worry about. And the older I get, the more aware I am that I’m running out of time. Spending my finite time on shit I enjoy is the real secret to happiness.

    he would rather nuke his credentials to further his career as a pundit.

    Yep, and to him and the people he takes advantage of, he’d be dumb not to do this. When you value money above all else, it’s a big brain move to do the thing that gets you the most money. He’s good at his game, but it’s an entirely different game than what mature and reasonable adults play.
