So you’re telling me corporations shouldn’t be able to fix their own prices?

What’s next? Capitalism is no fair economic system and the invisible hand of the market exists only in the wildest fantasies of the most gullible free market-stans??

Unconscionable, I tell you, unconscionable!! Sooner rather than later you’ll be spouting out socialist propaganda!!!

The 5th point is the reason why you should be happy with yourself before embarking on a relationship with another person. Relationships are not the panacea people paint them to be, as all other human endeavours they require work, maintenance and commitment to be healthy and stable. And these can be provided once you can mainly focus on the relationship itself rather than on yourself.

Please note that this doesn’t mean that you’ll have to cancel all the work you do on yourself while being in a relationship, it just means that your self-work has become such a standard that you don’t even have to think about what you have to do to be happy by yourself, you know yourself so well that you do what is needed as if it was a second nature.

Also, avoid thinking about relationships as in your point 4 of the con-list: comparing instinctual behaviour acted by animals with reasoned choices performed by humans is belittling of our actions and an excuse to justify our worst behaviours. We are not (entirely) animals and we shouldn’t use them as a ruler to assess what is right and wrong in our day to day activities.

Best of luck for your future

Nice man, happy for this development. Do your best in your new role!!

Well, being better than them constantly for over two decades has brought the orange Cheeto in power for a second term.

Maybe it’s high time we try to get to their level to fight them using their same tactics?

You sound a lot like people attacking Luigi because “violence has never solved anything”. Looks like violence is helping Ukrainians defending themselves against Russia, why couldn’t it also help the middle and poor classes in their fight against the oligarchs? Remember that these same oligarchs are actively killing you by denying your right to healthcare and by filling your body with poisons and microplastics, a violent act is not just a physical one ;)

And surely not their brightest. But there’s no DEI anymore at least, they’re employing only the best candidates for each spot. Or so they say.

What an embarrassment of an administration

Oh yeah, the first 4 years of this demented man were not enough to understand the danger he would represent for their communities.

One thing is being lied to, another different thing is choosing to be lied to and accepting the lie as truth. If you fall under the second category you get no sympathy from me at all

Lmao, hope they suffer as much as they desired to make other suffer. Karma is a wheel and I fully expect these people to be crushed under its weight

The fuck are you talking about?? Our left party (PD - partito democratico) Is one of the whiniest and most useless party in the world, unable to pick up the class fight in favour of the working class and hellbent in carrying out the sistemic destruction of any real opposition to the current ruling class. Look into its management, Ellie Schlein, its current head, is the most vapid and personality-deprived politicians we’ve seen in the past 20 years, and I’m including Fassino in this list which should say a lot if you know Italian politics

Oh no, people now will know I am a stoic communist and real socialist even without me plastering my political believes in each discussion even vaguely related to politics or economics.

Nice

And yet you cannot disprove a direct correlation between the two events, so, until we won’t have a bigger dataset to analyse, both our opinions are equally valid; even if a policy change in the time span of a day and against the economic interests of this institution would skewer the hypothesis towards my interpretation rather than yours, but I want to give you the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully we’ll have this increased dataset available in a short time ;)

To answer your question: more or less all of them. Or at least a great majority (70-80% at least), all of the people who you cited in your list are out for blood against the lower classes so I don’t see anything wrong in defending ourselves from these beasts.

They’ll have to be successful 100% of the times to avoid being killed, we will need just one successful try to reach our goal

Blue shield policy on anesthesia was changed the day after the assassination.

Policies have been changed and no pie was involved

The better the control systems get, the better will get the working class at circumventing them. Remember that those who write and compile the codes used to keep us in check are also part of the working class. There’s always space for a backdoor or an exploit in all codes, one just have to learn how to use them to return to an unknown status.

There is no thing like a people too feeble to revolt. A people who cannot revolt is a people who cannot work nor produce (see every dictatorship in the world, they are surviving but they are not thriving nor innovating anything. The best they can do is copy [China] or using old technologies [Russia, North Korea, Iran]). If the elites want to have their iPhone 20 or their self-driving cars they need us to be productive, and with that comes a certain degree of freedom which entails a degree of risk for their health and lives

Italian here. After the second world war, with a tired and mostly reformed population, Italy was poised to become a modern country capable of sitting at the same table of the G7 nations. For 20 years we enjoyed a level of growth which was possible only thanks to the reconstruction required to recover from the wounds of the war. Inthat same timeframe a centrist political force (DC or Democrazia Cristiana [Christian Democracy in English]) would take control of our institutions promising a moderate model fo governance fat away from both the right and the left extremes. They effectively worked to keep the status quo fixed at the beginning of the '900, having the populace split between the ruling class (those who had the money and the means to have their son’s complete their course of study in universities) and the working class (those who could feed their families and provide them with a roof over their heads). The only incremental improvement the latter could taste was “La dolce vita” (the sweet life), a concept where Italians were able to have a 3 weeks vacation period during summer and the money allowance to be able to buy leisure goods such as refrigerators, TVs and cars.

Fast forward a couple of decades and Italians found themselves stunlocked in a cage, unable to be heard by the politics and asking for a different kind of freedom. We were requesting a social improvement by receiving the right to divorce, to abort and to arrange unions on our workplaces. All rights which were against the status quo and therefore ignored by the (very Christian) ruling party. Give the situation another 10 years (during which the state committed violence against those who spoke about those rights) and the Italian people produced the Brigate Rosse (BR in short, Red Brigades in English), a terrorist organisation with a communist background who was able to exert violence via weapons and terrorist attacks specifically targeted against the ruling class. Result of this time frame, know as “anni di piombo” (lead years) for us Italians? We can now divorce, abort and arrange unions on our workplace.

I have given you this small history fact to make you understand that, even if as a European I am appalled at the idea of owning a fire weapon, sometimes the highest hierarchies need to be reminded that a populace is not just an amorphous aggregate of single people but a force to be reckon with. And personal violence is a very direct and clear message.

They get revenge. Maybe you can’t eat it nor you can use it as a medicine to cure your illness, but you can use it to sleep and live better knowing that, one way or another, for some of these people the clock is ticking.

I, at least, have slept much better after receiving this news. And I’m not even American, just a simple European hoping that this trend will be imported from America like many others before it.

(I say imported but we actually are far more advanced than American in this matter. During the 70s there were a lot of terror groups fighting for a better society and what did we get? Social security, a fairer economy and personal rights such as divorce and abortion. After the 90s the situation was so good that these groups disappeared and in 30 years time we’re back at where we were before the terror season. Maybe it’s time to get back to where our fathers left us)

The correct name is Pim Tool, please

I am a “regular” flyer and a stoner and I never fail to bring with me a sample of devil’s lettuce when I’m leaving for extended period of time and never once I’ve had any issue bringing my hazardous material with me.

One time I even embarked with a small firework in my wallet I forgot I placed there after a party and none bat an eye.

Security level: top (not gun)

The best steps would be the ones taking them to the guillotine
