MYTH: Americans set off fireworks on the 4th of July, in honor of our Independence Day
FACT: Americans set off fireworks from approximately June 20thāJuly 20th, for no reason other than this is the time of year that you can literally buy them at any grocery store
A growing number of economists are pointing to corporate profits as an inflation driver.
Very obvious to me and others:
1. Companies have been bragging about record profits. You donāt get record profits if your costs are going up. You get them if your profit margin is going up.
2. In Seattle, during covid, many workers got a hazard pay bump of $4. Groceries raised prices and blamed increased worker pay. But hazard pay ended nearly a year ago and prices have not come down.
Itās greed and taking advantage of a crisis and the soft collusion of capitalists getting away with whatever they can.
This is one reason why I think the govāt should offer some basic economic services. E.g. A govāt run grocery store. It can have the exact same stuff as other stores but thereās zero profit margin. So, firstly, consumers are more likely to get the best deal possible. Secondly, if we have a similar situation where groceries are hiking prices, we can check with the govāt run store and ask, āwhy havenāt *they* needed to raise prices?ā Or, āwhy have their prices only increased 10% while yours have increased 80%?ā
Frankly, I donāt know why we donāt have non-profit options for all the essentials people need to live, esp food, housing, and medicine. Iām not saying we need to destroy the private market: people who want luxury food and luxury homes etc can still get them, but most people just want the basics to literally stay alive in this economy. We donāt need everyone getting screwed with every single financial transaction they make.
GRADE SCHOOL SJWS stop using social justice language to explain shit to your conservative parents ITāS NOT GONNA GO THROUGH now all they have are some new words to make fun of. donāt tell your mom sheās being fatphobic tell her sheās being a dick
You gotta use their language to get through to them. Don't talk about the evils of capitalism, talk about rich assholes stealing the blood, sweat and tears of hard-working Americans (or whichever equivalent). Don't talk about privilege, talk about people being spoiled and having it easier, or being out of touch with the real world. Bond over distrust in the government, then slowly explain what it is that government is actually doing.
This one may be more US centric, but many bigotries can be dealt with by talking about freedom and American values of being founded on immigration and equal opportunity. If they're mad about violent protest, tell them freedom is worth fighting for.
This won't always work, but I've changed a lot of minds this way. Deprogramming a cultist mindset isn't easy, and it takes time. But they're being fucked over by the same people we are. The trick is to get them to see it too, and stop supporting their own oppressors. Once the big lie is exposed, they'll begin to question every other bullshit thing they were conditIoned to believe. That's when the real healing can begin.
There's a mistake I see a lot of people in the mental health community make and in all honesty, it's one I've made myself. But I think we should really work on it. And that's saying "if this were a physical illness, wouldn't you care?"
I've learned that no actually, people wouldn't care. Katelyn Weinstein (theADHDprincess on Twitter) is a neurodiversity acceptance activist who really put this in perspective for me. She said that it's actually more an issue of longevity than physical vs mental health.
If you're having a bad day people will generally be understanding. But when you're experiencing chronic depression and you have many bad days people lose sympathy.
In the same respect people may be understanding when you've broken a bone that will heal properly or when you have a cold that will go away soon in ways they simply won't understand when you have chronic pain or need to use a wheelchair. They may send chicken soup for a temporary situation, but when you need consistent accomodations it's an entirely different story.
I understand that from our perspective it looks like people care more about physical health than mental health, but it's good to remember that our own perspective is also limiting. Facing ableism doesn't mean you can't be ableist. And I know so many people are not ill-intentioned when they say this. I know I wasn't. But we can't discount the lived experiences of physically disabled people. If we want true equality we need to be united and we need to listen to those with physical disabilities and illnesses. And those with physical disabilities and illnesses (some of which are also invisible) have said that they are not given proper accomodations either.
So let's be united and fight for equality and accomodations for everyone, no matter what their illness or disability may be.

After seeing the dad how do I channel, I really wanted this one. I searched for it and, tada! Mom how do I? Seems rather new, but I love it anyway.
This is such a cute and helpful idea, especially since some people either didnāt grow up with someone who could teach them this stuff or they grew up with parents who did everything for them. I knew a lot of guys in college who didnāt know how to do laundry or cook!

I find it absolutely hilarious that after playing the popularised sexy man āJames Bondā for what feels like a millennium, Daniel Craig has only now reached tumblr sexy man status by playing a funky southern gay detective with a hubby that bakes sour bread.
