Some of ours are literally brown-shirts. They wear fascist-style uniforms on their gatherings.

Given the suffering of the Polish caused by fascists, this is horrifying.

The fact that there are Putin-sponsored Slavic Hitler-loving neo-nazis used to baffle me, until I realized that complete narcissistic delusion was the whole point.

And it shows that fascism can fester anywhere, if it’s allowed to.

Oh, we hear you over in America, too.
Good luck. We’re thinking about the Polish people here, as the same forces try to come for us.

Well, that’s better than here, but of course Covid deniers have now killed an order of magnitude more people in Europe and the Americas than all the extremist theocratic nutbags in the Islamic world combined.

You know me, and I’m from Arizona, and I’ve voted, so that should get you started on the right foot…

OTOH - if PA is so important- why don’t we get as high a percentage back on federal money as some states?

This should not be legal. It’s not the company’s money.
These should be held completely in trust for the employees. It’s compensation that has been deferred.

A portion of it is. When the company I was with for 13 years went under, this government organization seized a portion of its assets and now distributes it to those who would have qualified for a pension. I did not even know about it until they contacted me to inform me of this benefit. Now I get a monthly deposit from them. It was established in 1974 as part of the SSA.

With corporations allowed to raid pension funds and the program intended to be a safety net running a deficit, what could go wrong?

Apparently, the silver lining to the mass slaughter of Americans created by the US ruling class’s wilful embrace of Covid is that now the rest of the world will think you’re tough.

I don’t know why so many people want to be the macho Uruk-hai. They lose.

I’m not sure “tough” is the first word that springs to mind. “Phenomenally stupid and incapable of dealing with reality” seems more apt. “Recklessly self-disinterested” maybe. “Disappointingly incompetent”.
I guess to that extent, that would give me pause as a war game planner…

Add “disturbingly easy to manipulate into self-harm”.

That’s utter bullshit, but if it helps you actually be different, then great.
