I’m not flailing.

I’m treading water angrily.

Why did Ford dump all of the models that offered a variety of price points ?

Because they could afford to be profitable and not care about 90% of the US consumer body.

Same with GM and Dodge RAM. They quit making lots of cars to save money for themselves. And now the US has betrayed the US consumer again pushing a green agenda while maintaining OIL hegemony in vehicles for the masses.

Now we have fewer types of vehicles, lower inventory, higher prices, 10 year car loans, and restrictions on getting the green vehicles that we were encouraged to want. American Dream has become the American Delusion.

My therapist helped this by saying that there are no points. forgetting what you are saying in order to let others in is part of the deal.

it happens literally multiple billions a times a day. be part of team “it is ok not to make my point”.

it is a fun team to join.

I’m still glad for online ordering, wikipedia, small digital communities, youtube, email, and lots of stuff.

The rest of it is inevitable. And it requires being able to put down the phone and step away from the keyboard.

That is what we need to be able to do.

Move away from the shiny rectangle for a bit for eye contact socializing, too.

Our system of regulation has become dysfunctional.

Our police system turns human beings into violence machines. If our police system creates behavior like this from the people closest to it then that system is broken.

The officers are doing what humans do when given too much raw force.

Change the system and the officers will change with it.

Sex work puts someone one step closer to human trafficking.

I don’t judge them for the sex work. I judge how they are at risk that costs more than just their own happiness.
