I work on-call. Any hour day or night. I frequently go back to sleep after getting called. I have like fifty alarms on my phone.

This is hilarious. Last time my union tried to do anything, Biden stepped in and stopped us. Then he took a victory lap about being a hero in to us while Congress forced a shitty contract down our throats.

Most of us are either completely deluded or utterly crushed by the collapse of our entire system of government. We know this is corrupt, and we want to organize to bring it to an end. But we have so many checks and balances that even if we all marched today with pitchforks and torches it wouldn’t effect any real change without burning down every police station, city hall, state house, and the federal buildings. All while hoping the military doesn’t show up and now us down with their weaponry. All the whole knowing that there has been a sharp rise in the popularity of police using violence and death as a deterrent.

In short, we know, and we can’t see any way out of this mess. It wasn’t supposed to be possible, and looking back we all saw it coming. But we were just dismissed as alarmists every time we spoke up and we are surrounded by morons who think this is the best thing that has ever happened to this national.

As an actual Locomotive Engineer (I drive freight trains) I am having a hard time conceptualizing the level of stupidity here.

Iirc that was the back page of a MAD Magazine. They used to publish tons of fake magazine covers like this so you could flip the last page around and make it look like a real magazine.

I know, right?! I can only imagine how utterly disappointing reddit is to MAGAts. Probably about as disappointing as it is to the rest of us lemmings.

You started out strong on your first half. But we don’t need war, we need wise leadership. The power really is in the voters here. But decades of infighting (in each nation) over political stances have allowed scumbags to control all our nations’ UN interactions. We need to eliminate veto, or extend it to a three or four nation minimum (you need three nations voting to veto to block something) that is available to all nations.

Down voting because war is always stupid and no one should ever sell the lie that innocent people need to suffer.

I’ll think about it.
