    No no, you can choose to make the world a better place by removing humanity from it.

    It’s not very cash money of you to do it but you can do it. Unless the humanity we’re talking about are just the humans with an awful lot of cash money… That’s a different story




  • I bumped in to a guy at work the other day, he was in the building as a vendor, so not an employee of my company.

    He’d stopped what he was doing to rant and rave about politics to some poor soul he’d happened upon here in the building who was clearly just humoring him.

    This guy was parroting everything Trump had said to the letter. As every word from that guy’s mouth was some golden truth.

    That’s a third of the country. People like that. Completely lost to ideology, incapable of independent thought. Proud that Trump is winning so hard all the time, and he is, of course, because he says he is.




  • Land is land. We don’t get any more. Some land is inherently more valuable than other. We should be disincentivizing ownership of land unless it’s being cultivated or contributing in some way.

    By saying that farms don’t pay property tax, we’re creating an avenue for billionaires to create “farms” and skirt taxes.

    Instead what we should be doing is guaranteeing that crops will sell. Pay the property tax, use the land, and if your harvest fails at market, then the government covers the gap. But not before. I’m even cool with the government buying the seed and feed. That’s all renewable and contributes to a bountiful harvest. Having taxes to pay on the value of the land encourages it’s use, and pushes the wealthy billionaires away from wanting to own it just cuz. They’ll naturally look for the least valuable land if they just want a big ass estate. Who cares if they build a mansion on a pile of worthless rock?













  • We are in the middle of an insect apocalypse.

    Remember when you were little how many fucking moths there were? Couldn’t keep the porch light on at night or they’d get in the house and you’d be finding moth carcasses all summer.

    Now there’s just a few. Hardly see any anymore.

    Same for house flies, and bees. I used to have to go and spray for wasps every spring, I don’t remember the last one I saw.
