Peace of pi

Another “self-driving” Tesla suicide bombed a suburb, killing both dudes inside. Apparently nobody was behind the wheel which a legion of nerds is insisting is impossible since you need your hands on the wheel in self-driving mode, which is not the brilliant defense they think it is

“…What do you think about the visitation?”

“My pleasure. Imagine a picnic.”

Noonan shuddered. “What did you just say?”

“A picnic. Picture a forest, a country road, a meadow. A car drives off the country road into the meadow, a group of young people get out carrying bottles, baskets of food, transistor radios, and cameras. They light fires, pitch tents, turn on the music. In the morning they leave. The animals, birds, and insects that watched in horror through the long night creep out from their hiding places. And what do they see? Old spark plugs and old filters strewn around… Rags, burnt-out bulbs, and a monkey wrench left behind… And of course, the usual mess—apple cores, candy wrappers, charred remains of the campfire, cans, bottles, somebody’s handkerchief, somebody’s penknife, torn newspapers, coins, faded flowers picked in another meadow.”

“I see. A roadside picnic”

I need the Democrats to understand something.

If they send out checks that are even one dollar short of $2000, there is no way in Hell it will not backfire on them HARD.

People were told “$2000 checks!” the whole time. It was a campaign slogan, they put it on posters, in campaign ads, speeches, it was a goddamned mantra that they wouldn’t let you forget.

So when they turn around and suddenly start saying “$1400 will supplement the $600 you already got.” People feel lied to, and rightfully so. A deal that suddenly comes with an asterisk after one side has already upheld their end, means they will never work with you again if they can help it.

Anytime the Democrats claim that they are working towards solving a problem, most people are going to remember this and conclude the Democrats are full of shit. It’s long been said that the biggest obstacle for Democrats in an election is voter apathy, but they never consider the role they play in causing that apathy.

If the Democrats really really want to be able to hold onto the momentum that gave them power to affect lasting change for eight years rather than getting kneecapped after two, they need to get people the $2000 checks they had promised.

"So why don't we democratize the workplace and the economy, thus granting more power to the average person and better preventing power consolidation among do-nothing capitalists and their state apparatus?"
