alistair pomegranate 'lappy' percival@lappypercival.bsky.social · 24h agoi guess this is because i attended an education system that was (re)constructed by marxists but i have never understood why 'the education system is designed primarily to produce workers' is some kind of gotcha

Bluesky holds a lot of opinions that don’t survive contact with even one ordinary person
blaming private equity in particular seems like confusing correlation and causation. private equity generally does not buy out well-managed firms with sustainable business models
Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · 3d agoI think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.
i am begging you — including some of you who follow me that i'm seeing in the OP QTs — to actually read what senate democrats are getting out of this and to stop and think for, like, at least 90 seconds, about what *else* you think a minority party *in both chambers* can squeeze out of the majority
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 3d agostripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is an enormous win, this nukes the SAVE act, it prohibits further ICE bailouts, adding a "no, really, trump can't break already on-the-books laws regarding elections the federal government doesn't run" clause would be both unnecessary and unproductive

Zoomer Antimillenarian@surcomplicated.bsky.social · 3d agoEvery major advance in infotech over the past half-century has encountered right-wing Americans in much the same manner as a python encounters a flightless bird of paradise. No defensive adaptations at all.
