Oof! Didn’t expect an old semi-joke to cause so much angst. It’s really just a comment on how often articles talking about how X, Y or Z will impact “The Economy” is mostly about how much money already absurdly wealthy people will gain or lose. Hence replace “The Economy” with “Rich People’s Yacht Money” in the headlines to get an arguably more accurate headline. Also I don’t think anyone give a shit about upvotes on Lemmy, could be wrong though. As for Florida, I’m not in the US so not super familiar with the climate in various parts of each state but snowfall in Florida seems pretty crazy since I thought Florida is pretty tropical/subtropical. If I have offended you please accept my apology as it was definitely not my intention to offend anyone and especially anyone who is experiencing a natural disaster. I’ve been through a few cyclones and a bushfire. It’s not even slightly fun.

Oh no! Not rich people’s yacht money the economy!

+1 for Ologies!

Australia checking in…yeah nah it’s happening here too. Shitcunts.

This is me since my mid-twenties. Now 50 and not entirely sure how I’m not a wraith yet.

See Starlight Tours for an insight into friendly Canadian police :/

As a GenX I’d say you’re probably not too wrong about many of us but there’s still many that are very anti-establishment. If you’re unionised check out some of your most militant union folks, chances are they’ll be GenX. As for those executive function skills…my super late ADHD diagnosis would like a word if I remember/want to take my meds :/

Check your crevices!

WTF NZ?
Not too be a vulture but come to sunny Bundaberg, Queensland! We need health staff :P

ADHD. Turns out I was self medicating this whole time.

Ummm… the Israeli plan is the forced relocation of Palestinians?

Their big plan to avoid war crimes is to commit a Crime Against Humanity instead.

Wut?

Meanwhile heading into an Australian winter…

Meanwhile I’m over here thinking anything under 25 is a bit cool, 10 is downright chilly and -10? -10 is Ice Age snuggle up to your wooly mammoth temperature.

Nábrók, the ultimate BIFL pants lol. That’s just my silly answer because I want to keep track of this post.

To the people talking of guillotines and woodchippers, I think what you’re really looking for is the Brazen Bull of Phalaris. So appropriate on so many levels.

Well…a wrong is a negative thing. Two wrongs would be a double negative. A double negative is a positive and a positive thing is a right. Therefore two wrongs do in fact make a right. (Please note: I don’t believe this and an just using words recreationally)

Because the amount of fossil fuel money going into their back pockets it’s weighing them down so much they just can’t move quickly.

That’s one thing I really do not get. The US is absolutely awash with weapons, some very high powered.
Yet it’s schools and concerts that get shot up and not wherever crazy fascist orange people hang out. I’m not advocating shooting up anywhere but it’s weird that it’s schools and concerts etc

I’m perhaps a little pedantic but if the new law is that interfering with national infrastructure (including roads) is a crime then surely the police should have been detained as well?

“At 10:10am, a number of Metropolitan police arrived and began pushing the Just Stop Oil supporters back and forming a chain across the road,” they said.

After all the police formed a chain across the road which would’ve seriously held up traffic.

Now there’s a movie reference I haven’t heard in a long time.
