  • That’s how these chemicals have always operated.

    They can do whatever they want until it’s proven harmful. Time after time they’ve done internal studies showing the shit is toxic and they bury it.

    Never any criminals charges, maybe some financial compensation after long court battle but never more than they profit.

    Capitalism only works by externalizing these costs. They want you to believe, need you to believe it’s not a zero sum game but it’s not. It’s just these externalities.

    Monetary policy doesn’t get to defy the laws of the universe, profit doesn’t come from the ether.

    We pay with our health and our lives.

    And it’s never acceptable to say this is not a good system, we have to propose an immediate alternative or we’re pigeonholed as a communist or whatever the capitalist limited mind is stuck on. Like a Christian assuming one either worships Christ or Satan because it’s unfathomable to choose neither. We are living through a capitalist inquisition.



  • This is a proposed political idea. It doesn’t make it true and doesn’t make the statement that are options are reduced unless we all allow it to be true.

    If the Republican decide to burn all gay people, one cannot claim to be a democrat because they simply want to gas them all.

    We decide where the line is drawn. Ignore the propaganda that tells us we have no control over the process. That apathy is how the window shifts, not because the republicans shift.



  • It may not be monthly but there are companies that will monitor your levels and schedule refills as needed. If you’re getting refilled per month you probably need a bigger tank. Most people are using propane for heating and don’t need it refilled in the summer.

    There are also options to spread the cost over the year so you’re making payments each month. That is sort of a subscription but when I think subscription I think of a service you’re charged for whether you use it or not and not financing.



  • There is a vast difference between human emotions and feeling pain. I think it’s ridiculous that anyone could equate the two. The nuance is in whether a cat can feel love or if it’s something more basic.

    We actually know that some people don’t feel normal emotions. That is a strong indication that emotions are not innate to all animals.
