1-1-26: I think their next step is to capture the Boomer wealth before it can be inherited by their next of kin. We already see that a little bit by the government insurance type that takes all your assets after your death if you use it for end of life care like a stay in a nursing home. That cuts off inheritance to their descendents and interrupts cycles of wealth accumulation within a family.

But I think there are two things not yet tightly linked but the walls are closing in- pro-life controls tightening, and MAiD being brought into a lawfully-protected practice. The way they are criminalizing miscarriages now will continue to escalate, and soon will be leveled up to include some way of civil charges brought against you for not making a "correct" MAiD decision in certain circumstances leading to fines or asset seizures.

Supposedly the boomers as a whole have a shit-ton of wealth to pass down and will be finished with that turnover within the next twenty or so years. I do not believe the people using the government as a puppet for their own enrichment, that includes both those who are and are not elected to some position in the government, would let that wealth turnover happen without reaching in to grab as much as they can steal to horde and become trillionaires.

So I believe they'll start building laws soon that punish people making MAiD decisions in a "pro-life manner" in order to seize the deceased's assets. Then that wealth gets paid out to private contracts that benefit the 1%.

The funniest part about Reddit etiquette is that, technically, Reddit wants you to use the downvote button only for comments that “do not contribute” to the conversation. You’re not supposed to use it on comments you just disagree with.

No bitch, that’s the “you said something I hated” button.

I ignore that rule in every sub that tries to "remind" us. Like no, I'm going to downvotes the jerks, it's my only power over them, you can't stop me

Science tumblr- why does good pho make me sleepy?

Walking into the big grocery store with my little noise-cancelling headphones because my brain can't take it anymore

im so done with seeing articles about kids and screen time that doesnt mention parent behaviors even once. “kids are always on their phones” so are the parents! which the kids look to for how they should behave! ipad babies didn’t chose to only play on their ipads, thats what their parents gave them!

an anecdotal example: when i was a kid, all my parents would do in their minimal free time was watch tv and then they would be surprised when in my sister and i’s minimal free time we would also only watch tv/play video games. they scolded us for not reading books, but they never read books. they scolded us for not going outside but they never went outside.

“kids are always on their damn phones” my mom is in her 60s and opens up candy crush anytime she’s sitting — it isnt just the kids

EEAAO teaches us to embrace the absurdism of life, but I got an early introduction in 2013. I was living in Monterey, and my grandma flew out from South Dakota to visit, in late spring. The entire springtime Monterey Bay area is gorgeous, covered in flowers, especially the super fancy towns like Carmel by the Sea, so I drove her through all the winding roads to come through the main street that takes you down the hill with the ocean in front of you. The streets were lined with adorable boutiques with items that cost my entire yearly salary, with flower beds, pots, hangers, and trellises as far as the eye could see. The land occasionally dropped off below the visible horizon, so it was just street and ocean at times.

She spent the whole drive carefully working on a text message to her best friend, missed the whole view. I love her so much.

it does more harm than good to prop up the myth of the ‘neurotypical’ who completes tasks cheerfully with no issues. this person is a capitalist fantasy. the more you define yourself in comparison to this myth the more you justify social structures staying the same with minor accommodations to the ‘exceptions’ and the continued pathologizing of discomfort under hostile conditions

Dang, new thing to ponder just dropped

The current pope said being gay is no big deal, but I'm not impressed tbh. Until they let us into the archives, they can shove it. We already knew the older versions of the church had no issues with us queers, let everyone have access to all the books you're hiding so we can see the evolution of theory. Chicken.
