  • Can you provide me some more information about this? Because you made it sound like Biden was sitting in the Oval Office rubbing his hands together, waiting to tell these workers to get fucked, which IS disingenuous, when the OBEW themselves have issues this statement. I’m not a rail worker, they are, I’m going to listen to what they’re telling me about their experience.

    Unless that’s you, you’re an IBEW worker affected by this deal, I’m not gonna do a ‘trust me bro’ on this.

    I do just need to point out that the Doomsday Clock is run by a media organization with no ties to any government. There’s no hard facts about what the number represents, it’s just a small group of academics who decide how close we are to apocalypse off vibes. While I think the problems they point out are valid concerns you have to remember that their main thing is to drive clicks. Of course this is easier if you’re constantly scared.

    I know it seems like we’re in the worst time possible, but crime and violence is as low as it’s ever been and the standard of living for human life in general is also as high as it’s ever been. I’d echo the other commenters, sounds like it’s time for a social media detox.
