It really should be policy to allow at least the seat(s) next to the deceased (I understand not moving the body for coroner/investigation reasons, though they did in this case at which point why not put them in a bathroom and guard It you have extras) use any surplus steward seats or those staff seats in the cockpit for employees.

Just basic decency in the event of an extreme circumstance.

I live in a caucus state.

Till the day I die, I will never forget sitting in a classroom during the caucuses (they use schools for the caucuses and break us up into groups for the caucus debate that’s supposed to occur) as the small number of leftists made our cases for Sanders and pleaded with the Neoliberals there to ordain the DNC’s chosen bribe taker to just stop and think.

Not a single neoliberal in any caucus I attended ever said a word beyond their bribe taker candidate’s stock statement. They scowled at us like WE were their enemy there to inconvenience them, voted for their corrupt stooge, and left.

And I still voted for their bribe taker in the general out of harm reduction, as I did with Harris, the latest meet the Fascists in the middle let the poors die in the streets or when they get sick hey here’s Liz Cheney endorsing me “good guy.” We did this to ourselves. And the capitalists on Wall Street are the main villains, but we by and large had to be receptive to “well you could be rich someday too!” instead of standing with our worst off neighbors who needed help for their confidence scheme coup to work.

Fair. I haven’t seen that one.

Have some respect!

We’re a Gold plated, star spangled third-world shit hole thank you very much.

(this is a santa Cruz tent city, but there’s one in every major population center in the US. I live in Las Vegas, the biggest one is up on the corner of Craig and (ironically) Martin Luther King Blvd.)

Do you feel free? I feel free. We feel free. Whee…

We have 2 million prisoners for 330 million people.

They claim 1.6 million prisoners for their 1.4 billion people.

Even if it were double what China claims, per capita we keep far more of our people in bondage, because we found and disgustingly prioritize the private profit in it. More prisoners for private for profit prisons, and more slave labor leased out to for profit corporations.

We put people in cages using any excuse to increase quarterly earnings expectations for our sociopath class. “Land of the free,” Lo fucking L.

Legally murdering it’s own citizens in droves in capitalist confidence schemes like the Healthcare Insurance scam industry to increase private stockholder profit?

🇺🇸 We’re number one! 🇺🇸

Neoliberal good cop/fascist bad cop was always a race to the bottom. This was inevitable so long as we fail to cut the capitalists down to size, and both parties are paid to defend their con game from us by stoking social issue division to stop the peasants from looking up at the oligarchs, our common enemies whether you’ve been brainwashed into worshipping them or not.

I voted for Harris out of attempted harm reduction as I do like clockwork for the lesser evil, but voting Neoliberal only slowed the sinking, it was never going to make things better, just worse a little slower as the Neoliberals kept meeting their opposition in the new middle every cycle to keep up with the market’s demands for new, crueler ways to privately profit off human misery both parties are paid to defend and expand. A vote for continued quiet capitalist slaughter over loud, bragging capitalist slaughter. Not peace. Under Harris, healthcare rackets would still be murdering Americans legally, homeless Americans would still be dying in droves literally as a point to keep the laborers fearful as it would be cheaper to house them then deal with the fallout of them being homeless, etc.

But by all means keep the focus of your ire on the people who had nothing to vote for, only against for the last half century. You’re basically attacking the silent cowards in 1930 Germany and not the Nazis.

There are only 2 ways this ends, either the Mario’s brother method, or capitalist enforced climate change will collapse the capitalist’s con game and human civilization for us if humanity is too chickenshit to depose the economic metastasis, growth or and die capitalist cult and embrace economic equilibrium with environmental homeostasis. The parties are captured. No amount of voting will fix this. Reagan and Kemp saw to that when they captured their opposition. The last vote Americans had on the shape and priorities of our inhuman economy was in 1980, we only get a vote on how to address the social wedge symptoms of it, and only if addressing those symptoms won’t meaningfully effect quarterly earnings expectations.

Whether it was Trump in 2020, this, or one of his mutant children in another 4 years, our tolerance and worship of greed was going to lead to this. Maga, Trump’s rise as more than a gameshow host con-man, and imperialism are symptoms of our avarice rot induced collapse, not the causes. The cause are the capital markets being allowed to infect our politics and override any societal values we ever had prior to other than metastasize at all human cost.

Sadly, he’s already tapped the US Treasury like a Keg.

The final lesson of the movie is important.

The sociopaths ending the world will never be satisfied, and they’ll win because good people have too many rules and too much good faith. It isn’t the failure of decent people, hug your loved ones, be happy and content as the sociopath capitalists can’t be.

The greed class will end the world for our species, but unless you let them turn yourself into them trying to beat them at their own monstrous propaganda game, and you can’t beat them as they revel in lies and cruelty like decent people can’t, they can’t force you to be as empty, hateful, and insecure inside as they have to be to need so much affirmation and power(capital).

They have no friends, they have no loved ones, they have no trust, only associates and threats and assets and “big moves.” They see their own children as investments in legacy that they cast aside when they fail to become hateful, greedy, ambitious little clones of themselves.

Remember, this loud stupid shit is meant to distract from the important shit.

I don’t respect my own nation enough anymore to care what we call locations. Nice to see other nations don’t respect our dictates either.
