You have probably already started imagining it – the towel spread across warm sand, the icy drink sweating in your hand, the blissful nothingness of a week away from your inbox. It is practically a rite of passage once the temperatures climb. But if you have been quietly shelving those plans, telling yourself you will...
@davel@lemmy.ml has it right - it’s a waste of money to you. Staying home is good for you.
For other people, their quality of life is lessened because they are trapped at home.
Then blame Trump! He’s the sumbitch making life hard for everyone!
If Trump died tomorrow, nothing would change.
I’d certainly be happier tomorrow! Hell I’d probably take me a vacation to celebrate!
But like, it wouldn’t actually allow most people to take vacations. In fact, things would probably be roughly the same if Biden or Kamala had won. The current situation is structural, not just the fault of any single person.
Yes it was bad before Lord Feltersnatch but he alone has blown the world into a crisis and there’s no denying that!
Hardly, he’s just continued the same trajectory the US was already on.
The next president will be worse, and the next after that, until the US collapses.
Stop electing republicans then! This “All of them are the same is absolute bullshit!”
The electoral system is designed to favor them. Trump only had a plurality at 49.9%, did you know that? And the first time he didn’t even have a plurality.
Doesn’t matter. Red states where livestock outnumber voters get extra representation per capita because this country was founded as a settler-colony. A voter in Wyoming wields roughly 3.6 times more influence in presidential elections than a voter in California. The US is structurally undemocratic.
