At some point we have to fight back on all the lies, why not here I guess.

For at least 30 years middle Georgia (USA) has asked for rail commute to Atlanta and Savannah.
Now see.....this rail used to be a passenger rail. Somehow this ended and we can't get it back.
With the abysmal traffic in Atlanta, this would seemingly call for enthusiasm. Somehow the issue always dies quietly after a poll is given.
Living in Savannah, I'd really just like the old passenger schedule to re open.
Not gonna happen anytime soon.
Two other instances come to mind as well, him looking lost in white rubber boots last year when Biden gave federal money for hurricane recovery, and just last week DeSantis was booed so loudly you couldn't hear his voice. He may wish to stay out of black communities after making it illegal to teach crt, among other past tells.
This was what they found in other schools too. One specific location ( I can't remember where) the dads formed a group to a) keep kids peaceful and b) because they were being sent to jail for schoolyard bs. It was a largely black school. If you want to look it up with the sad details my brain is providing. Sry
Aye, I left when they started up their bs in Canada. I will very grudgingly turn it on once Three Body Problem is out and then turn it right back off. Or even, if I can buy TBP from another streamer or DVD , I'll wait and do that. This greedy crap from Netflix is personal to me. So sick of greed.
I went to join Planet Fitness, they insist on an app. They watched me leave. Kroger charged more than advertised, ooooh it was a digital coupon only available through the app. I left the item with the cashier. Order out? Only on an app? I guess I didn't want to eat that so much anyway.
Edit to add: I don't know how we are going to deal with apps that are forced upon you, that feels really gross especially if you are younger, like at your school. Forced commodification should be illegal.
Not going to do it, it feels controlling and abusive and I've worked too damn hard to let that shit go on.
Wow, mine did the same thing. Eventually he treated my work as an enemy to compete with, which was detrimental because my work is a part of me, it's not a place I go to, it's my craft. Much like being a writer. I was the one who would "not work" if the kids were sick etc, he thought very little of my contributions (which were good) to our bills etc. Like I should just presto magic money into being after not being able to work, he'd act as if I was just not working hard enough.
Even at tax return time, he literally was shocked when I told him we should be sharing the refund and he refused.
Eventually, he lost this war , and I'm happily growing in my field. I really wanted to be married, I didn't want to end our marriage but I couldn't face myself with this treatment and he couldn't understand what I was saying.
I can't be the only person who wondered "what's his real motive" when he volunteered these for free, knowing much of what he is known for. I guess people he's visited in DC have benefitted as well, because surely they knew this wouldn't go well, right?
This will be helpful in so many ways, humility and work ethic will be encouraged by not inflating ego with suits. If a suit is your style, great and fine, have at! If you are wearing it to feel important and you are working with others who are dressed differently, you are reminded that the job is at hand and not ego.
thanks for using Leebra!
