At a party and a guy was telling me about how one of his coworkers was complaining about how he thought his dealer was lacing his heroin with cocaine and then the party guy was like “but his dealer was his brother” and I said “that’s some cocaine and abel shit” and the joke flopped so hard but I stand by it so I had to share it somewhere
A Weird thing I have noticed people always complain about when a metro and light rail system expansion is proposed is the idea that the metro system will lower property values when typically they do the opposite for cities. Like I get concerns around gentrification but the whole fear of property values being lowered by public transit really seems like thinly vailed racism because white suburbanites tend to associate public transit with black people
This is a crime issue, not a racist issue, you stupid fuck.
Please tell me, how does public transit cause crime? Cities like Seoul, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris, and Tokyo all have incredibly extensive public transit and are considered among the safest in the world. There is no correlation between public transit and crime. You just falsely associate cities and poor people with crime because you saw a crime happen in a film once. Crime peaked in the 90s and isn’t going back up no matter how much you whine about violent crime and the need for a stronger police force despite the US having one of the most militarized police forces in the world
I know the US government acts like a corporation but it’s not.
Not voting isn’t the same as a boycott. Because you can’t bankrupt a government by not voting. All you get by not voting is less control over what the money is doing.
The money comes from taxes, not voting. Abstaining from voting does nothing to reduce the governments ability to get money and spend it on shit.
So yes, sometimes you vote to reduce harm because not voting WILL NOT REDUCE HARM.
It’s not a boycot. Abstaining doesn’t take power from the government. It just reduces the number of people they feel answerable to.
Not only do they not give a shit if you don’t vote it’s precisely what the most sadistic ones are hoping for.
