Could you imagine wasting the rest of your life to make the world a better place?

I don't have enough words for fuck right all the way off.

I've spent my life trying to make things a better place. I've been trying to pick people up, to learn, to fight hate, to get one step ahead, to educate, to do everything short of pulling out a whip just to get people to do the bare minimum to enact change in their life and vote. Yet I've been shown in more evidence that people are far more interested in their football teams (both literal and political) than making things better for people, have no desire to actually learn, and that hatred prevails. I'm tired and everyone is yelling at us to fight when I've been trying to rally to fight for the past goddamn decade... and even then I see the people calling to fight and it's a bunch of people who are yelling to go out and do it without actually getting up to do the bare minimum to help another fucking human. And you want to come at me with that phrasing?

So lets be blunt. I'm tired of this fight. You want to save the world, best of luck to you. I'll be in my corner and do the little things I can to survive and help those that need help do the same until the reason for survival is gone then I can wander off. Y'all (and by that I mean the rest of the world) can save yourselves, or burn, without my help just fine. It was funny years ago when I started saying "Call me Cassandra" when the things I was told I was overreacting came to pass. It's stopped being funny for a long time now.

Neat part is if you don't have family, it's completely some banks problem.

Look, US here. I've been saying this for years and turns out as normal I'm fucking right.

A leaning majority of the gun nuts are the ones cheering for this and wanted a fascist regime. The other half has always been cosplayers wanting to look tough. The 2A crowd of our country has always been cowards that was willing to sacrifice children to protect their precious sacred cows.

Yup. Staying alive for the parents. After that, fuck it.

Plastic eggs are probably made in China, so with tariffs might be as expensive.

God I hope so. Don't hope for the US to learn.

We didn't on guns after Sandy Hook so get some popcorn for the horror show to come for us.

I live in Missouri. These people consistently vote on ballots measures that help them, then vote in people who will overturn the ballot measures "Because people didn't know what they were voting for."

What pattern does the people getting voted in have? The (R) next to their name.

Seen it in the past decade I've lived here. People won't learn.

Unfortunately on my research, while Home Depot is the worst on this one, so is Lowe's, Menards, and every other tool/home store...

Amazon in particular. We all should have absolutely buried Amazon years ago. Better late than never, but getting rid of DEI is not even in the top 100 horrible things Amazon has done.

I'm probably going to get shit on for this, but I've always supported Amazon until last couple years for one big reason, it gave competition to Walmart. Amazon's union busting practices were learned from the Walton masters, those of y'all who remember Walmart having butchers? The reason they're gone is they unionized and Walmart got rid of them. Walmart will invade a town, bullying them to build their store without having to pay for utilities or they'll move to the next down over, run that store at a loss until all competition is gone then if it's too small a town they'll close it down forcing people to go to the central hub. They have training for employees to get food stamps while actively avoiding letting people work full time to avoid giving benefits... things they've been doing since Amazon was a bookstore in a garage.

And if you're against Project 2025, the Walton Family was one of the three that proudly donates to the Heritage Foundation.

I am here to go against any of these big corporations and Amazon is number 2 on the list, both need to go down. But as someone who used to live in its hometown I'm just consistently baffled that Walmart is somehow teflon to the outright attempts to bring it down whereas Target and Amazon get them every time. If anyone wants to know on size of these companies, Walmart is number 1 company by revenue, Amazon is number 2. The next 4 companies are State owned by China or Saudi Arabia, and 7th had a CEO Luigi'd.

The Walton Family has heavily put money into The Heritage Foundation.
