What’s with the Ayn Rand hate? Is there truly something so wrong with expecting not only your own best effort but also the best effort of your peers? In my experience apathy breeds nothing but incompetents who expect anything they want but refuse to work for it.
Oh my god OHHHH my god oh my GOD
Because Ayn Rand had pretty much literally everything ass backwards. Her genius protagonists couldn’t have done SHIT ALL without legions of workers who actually, y’know, DID the things. I don’t see Dagny Taggart fucking out there laying track herself, and yet somehow all the workers who actually do all the fucking work that make her protagonists all their damn money are ‘moochers’.
You know what would happen if company owners went on strike and didn’t do shit?
Nothing. Upper management would step up and take over to keep things running smoothly until they finished with their little hissy fit.
You know what happens if those ‘moocher workers’ strike? Everything grinds to a fucking halt, because day to day operations that actually are the backbone of the company depend on them.

Ivanka Trump—a presidential adviser who has admitted to illegally using a personal email account to conduct government business—wrote about the problems email presents in her book. Trump’s comments in The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life may prove prescient. “My friend Andrew Cuomo, New York’s great attorney general, tells me that e-mail is the key to prosecuting just about everyone these days,” Trump wrote. ” People can be so incredibly slapdash with …
You cannot make this foolishness up
Humans are a communal species that have banded together and cared for their sick, disabled, and elderly since before we were ever modern man. Resources were shared even as skills specialized.
Capitalism isn’t natural. A community should not have members dying of starvation or exposure while there is an abundance of resources. That isn’t how it works. That isn’t how it’s supposed to work.
ok so my roommates are anthropology students and their favorite example for debunking the ‘survival of the fittest’ bs is shanidar 1. (x, x, x)
shanidar 1 is a neanderthal who, at a pretty young age, was hit in the head hard enough to blind him. this also led to that side of his brain shutting down and withering his right arm, and possibly crippling his entire right side. not only that but his skeleton also shows that at some point, he broke a bone in his foot and, in addition to the other factors, resulted in a noticeable limp. there are some sources which say he likely had degenerative diseases. (arthritis was really common in neanderthals)
going off of widespread ideas of “”primitive”” (no longer the word used in anthropology/academia to describe early-modern humans) societies, shanidar probably died really young, deliberately abandoned or killed. i mean, he was severely crippled, blind, etc., he couldn’t contribute anything, he would have been a “”burden to society””, right?
except he lived to be between 40 and 50 years old. (about ~80 in human years)
this means that his social group had to have taken care of him for a minimum of two or three decades without his ‘contributing’ anything significant to the group. this discovery (and Shanidar III’s) was huge because it basically proves that early humans had a concept of hospice. early modern humans cared for the sick and the elderly, greatly extending their lifespan, simply because they cared.
tl;dr: the concept of someone needing to be ‘’useful’’ or ‘’’productive’’’ in society in order to be valued and cared for is a very modern concept and our quasi-predecessors would be ashamed
Also, Shanidar I was buried with flowers. They cared about him after he was dead, too.
Bullshit, Paul Ryan. You are a liar, and there are loads of people in medicine, finance, medical management, and other countries WITH Universal Healthcare that can prove it!!!!
Tax docs reveal a single donor accounting for all "dark money" funding the nonprofit run by Matthew Whitaker before he became Jeff Sessions’ chief of staff.
Anonymous political donations need to be outlawed.
To tolerate this disenfranchisement is to be complicit in the worst of this nation’s past, writes Elise Jordan
“During my time in Republican politics, I overlooked plenty of unseemly partisan warfare. But the voter suppression of our citizens that we’ve seen this year is something that no American can ignore.” –Elise Jacobs

It will take some time to erase the legacy of hatred and the damage to human rights that have been perpetrated by Trump and his Republican lackeys.
