As they should. All citizens should learn to stand up on their hind legs like that!

“Economy of scale” is just another way of saying SOCIALISM!
Capitalism and the American Way demands wasteful redundant duplication of resources, effort and cost!
If you can get a saving by buying a little more of something and having enough for two people using it, then you’re STEALING FROM THE VENDOR! Efficiency on a group basis is something communists and traitors do. Efficiency is only good when it’s being done to you, not for you, you leech.
Also, you should not try to help your neighbors, because you know they’ll just eat you first when the apocalypse comes. You know this because you know that we keep telling them that you’ll eat them first, so you know they don’t trust you, so you’d be an idiot to trust them, trust us on this. You should fear and distrust your neighbors, and look askance at them when you pass, and on no account find common cause with them against, say, extant power structures which might be, eg., robbing both of you blind. Things like HOAs aren’t for the benefit of the homeowners, they are to more efficiently gather the homeowners together in order to harvest from them!
And so on, and so forth. Gods it’s exhausting.

I’ve long wondered why in any typical block of homes, every single one of them has its own lawn mower.

I feel you. We have the same thing, well, septic, oil heat. Can be a real PITA at times, but considering the state of the city water system, I think we are better off.

Ah, but I’m used to high quality municipal systems!
Fortunately never had to deal with situations like Flint, MI, so I’m a bit spoiled.

and not just government officials either, also ceos who get lavish bonuses while breaking laws and harming people and the environment
jail time for white collar criminals would provide some much needed accountability

We need to stop calling these data breaches when the services build upon this sort of tracking from the start.
Cerebral had used these technologies since it began operations in October 2019 until it launched a review of its data sharing practices a few years later. On January 3, 2023, Cerebral determined that it had disclosed protected health information (PHI) to certain subcontractors “without having obtained HIPAA-required assurances.”

Watching YouTube clips on TV of Robin Williams with Ms Pane. The 15 yo Pane walks into the room and says:
“Who’s that?”
I’ve never been so sad.
ETA: the Carol Burnett Dentist Sketch didn’t even crack a smile. Sigh.

It’s been 8 years since we’ve lost Sir Terry Pratchett!
Neil Gaiman is remembering him today on his Tumblr-thing-gummi…
One more post with a link to an interview talking about Sir Terry here…
RIP, sir! We still all miss you terribly!

I saw some poor kid who works at the local bodega sitting outside waiting for the boss this morning. Poor guy. He knew what time it was.

Obviously fake. The clocks don’t go forward in the UK until the end of March. Someone has obviously just set up a scale model of Stonehenge for a prank.
