I don't know who needs to hear this but
The postal service exists to deliver letters and parcels to people
Not to make money for shareholders
The transport system exists to move people to where they need to go
Not to make money for shareholders
The water, gas, and electricity supplies exist to provide people vital utilities
Not to make money for shareholders
The healthcare system exists to ensure (and that's ENsure, not INsure) the health of the population
Not to make money for shareholders
Shareholders in vital public services are a vampiric drain on those services
Capitalism is a disease

Also, a brief update on Fox’s very serious and very legitimate coverage of crime over the past few months. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/28/another-fox-news-driven-target-likely-gop-probes-looting/?itid=ap_philipbump
This Friday will be very stressful for a lot of people. Retail workers will be put through the capitalist hell of Black Friday. IT workers, like me, will be in war rooms the entire day, with executives who lose their shit at the slightest hiccup in the systems and start screaming like toddlers until the cause of their meltdown is addressed.
Don't buy shit this Friday. Don't go shopping. Stay home with your friends and families. Please. For all of our sakes.
Lover of dogs.
