Internet gonna be off limits to most people soon enough… There’s spyware like this, but it’s a proof of concept that random a-hole hackers will develop into lolz…

If this actually happens and Republicans lose the House by a handful of seats, please don’t call it a “blue wave”…

Then the state legislature can extract the money through, I dunno, actual taxes. Prop 40 was written by some university professors and got on the ballot because enough people signed a petition for a “wealth tax”. The wealthy, along with corporations, absolutely need to pay more in taxes. But a “one time” (how will that phrasing play in future attempts at properly taxing them!?!) siphoning of money (a mere 5%) will be a quick fix that’ll be gone within a year if the measure even survives the lawsuits.

Prop 40 is basically a performative measure that will get tossed out in court. And it’s completely toothless. A quick little one time handout. The tax code needs to be changed at the Federal level. But hey, if this get y’all to actually vote, fine.

I assure you, from the perspective of the boomer blamers, everything I said is not trite. It might illuminating or it might be infuriating. But it’s something they need to hear.

Do you?

In the context of the post that was yet another “it’s the boomers’ fault”, generalization is just fine. Nuance and Lemmy don’t get along very well. But sure, “it’s not all ___ people” works. Just don’t phrase it that way….

I said people, as in people in general, like to blame others. I followed that with differences between the current state of left and right wing in the U.S. And I was sarcastic about it when I used the word “diversity” in regards to the multitude of people the right hates vs the left shitting on the elderly because shitting on anyone else will be met with a great amount of scorn.

That’s not at all what I said, but I get it, reading is hard.

You all collectively are dumping on boomers to satisfy a need to blame others for not having what you want or think you deserve. The right wing does the same thing only they have a greater diversity in who they hate. Lemme know how griping on social media is helping out with the situation…

Leave Gen X out of your generational sputterings
