Exactly this. A small organized group of ultra rich, making everyone’s life miserable. Buying up social media, newspapers, TV and spreading their dumb propaganda. Fox ‘news’ started it, Musk kept going with Twitter.

Trump is fine with concentration camps. Who is going to staff them? If he forces the National Guard to do it, the people in the National Guard arn’t going to be too happy, it’s not fun work.

Could have settled into a northern Europe socialist type country. Good social safety net, good labor laws. Instead the country is going the way of petty, central American, dictatorships.

As with all elections. The youth don’t come out, but the elderly do. Elections are decided by retired people.

Why nine barrels?

I wonder how this would trend if we cut out comic book movies from the stat.

A military takeover of the cities would last about 20minutes, if that, it’s against the HOA rules.

What happens when the wealthy home owners see their property values drop, because the army is on every corner, they’ll start calling their political reps.

This is a childish fantasy, the highest real estate values are in cities, the wealthiest people have homes in cities. It is a fantasy of the Republic base, that tends not to live in large urban centers.

In 1776 Americans went to war with England to preserve slavery in the colonies … fixed that for you.

Another bullshit article spouting the same bullshit “Expand Career and Technical Education: Increase investment in vocational schools and CTE programs that provide hands-on learning and practical skills. Studies show that boys who attend technical high schools can see earnings up to a third higher. These programs prepare students for high-demand careers in trades like electrical work, plumbing and carpentry.”

It’s all about creating good worker bees.

What is needed; 1)Free universal healthcare for all people, not dependent on anyone’s job. 2)Housing for all homeless people. 3)Funded food banks.

What is needed for education: 1)Better funding.

What is needed for the lower middle class: 1)Laws that allow for unionization. 2)Nationalization of many of the key industries such as railways, ports, hospitals. 3)Insurance such as home and auto through public government bodies. 4)A national, public, bank that has a high interest saving’s account and no bank fees.

In a years time, will learn that rich billionaires like Elon Musk are propping up this stock. Think of all the speculators playing this stock because it’s so volatile.

switch from automatic to manual

This had me confused for a second, as these are types of transmissions. Wouldn’t ‘A.I.to human’ driving be a more accurate description?

39 minutes…that’s really troubling. It’s not like 1 song or 2 short songs, to take a few impromptu questions as people filled out. That’s almost an hour of some sort of severe breakdown.

Kim Campbell has entered the chat.

I think that the majority of voters will look past what happened to the rail workers. It’s not a labour issue many understand or hear about.

FPTP needs to be stopped. The court needs to get its head out of its rear end and actually call this method of voting antiquated and no longer appropriate.

Interesting that Point Break (1991) and The Matrix (1999) book ended the decade. Point Break focuses on white 20 something kids that dropped out and started surfing, the The Matrix focuses on a 30ish white guy going through an existential crisis. At the beginning of the 90s there was still some hope, that a person could find a small counter-culture and create if not a wealthy life, of something satisfying. By 1999 all hope was gone.

I looked it up, Six Degrees of Separation was inspired from a real incident in the early 1980s. I was wondering why it felt like something from a decade earlier.

Copyright is whatever makes the wealthy wealthier. They’ll be copyright reform, but only to protect these new industries.

Wayne’s World was trying to recapture Mike Myers’ childhood in the 70s and early 80s. So doesn’t capture spirit of the 90s.

Biodome

Sadly this might be the most 90s of 90s movie. Others like Terminator are sequels, or movies like You’ve Got Mail are scripts written 10 years prior. Biodome is a time capsule of mid 1990s.
