  • There have been a few notable school districts in my state that got duped by these people over the last 10 years or so, and the pattern is pretty much the same:

    • They get elected by not telling people what they actually beleive
    • They immediately start doing crazy stupid shit
    • They illegally shut down public meetings and comments
    • They illegally hire an independent lawyer at taxpayer expense to defend themselves
    • There is a recall election, and they are removed from office.

    It's a huge waste of time and money, and in the end everyone hates these fucks even more than they did to start with, and people are even more interested in voting in local elections. I'm not sure it's a winning long-term strategy for the fascists. You could argue it works to get more progressives and moderates to the voting booth in the long run.


  • Less buying power = recession.

    No, it doesn't = that. People aren't disagreeing with your viewpoints or opinions. You are 100% using the word "recession" incorrectly, which is what everyone is trying to tell you in this thread.

    A recession is a significant, widespread, and prolonged downturn in economic activity. If people are driving up the prices of houses, it's not a recession. In a recession, house prices plummet because nobody is buying them.

    What you are describing is income inequality, which is a real, but completely different thing.



  • I was looking for a foot rest for my outdoor hanging chair this past weekend. So I searched for "hanging chair foot rest". Apparently, there are really popular products out there that are foot rests that hang under your desk, or on an airplane seat, and it clogged up the results. It isn't what I wanted, but it was all I got.

    So I searched for "hanging chair foot rest -desk -airplane". And I found that modifiers don't fucking work for Google shopping. They have disabled operators completely. I'm trying to find what I want using methods that used to work fine, and you're saying "no… what you want is this thing you told us you didn't want."

    Google sucks. Eat dicks Google.
