Take the route California is taking and educate the kids about worker's rights. Teach them it's not okay to be exploited at the work place and encourage them to tell their parents about it. Civics classes should also be taught to learn how the government works and what people's rights are under the Constitution. Encourage people to unionize now that they know how the system works.

Once the basics have been taught, elect people who care about government reform for social policies by paying for them with higher corporate and personal wealth taxes. Reform the tax system the wealthy have been using to hide their money. All their money is tied up in stocks and they're living off of multimillion dollar loans? Fuck them, tax a big percentage of the loan. All these things can be done to indirectly seize the fruits of their production at least.

This joke's getting as stale as the "attack helicopter" shit your alt-right counterparts say.

This is infuriating. No one should be denied borrowing a book because they're not at their "grade level". That's the kind of shit that contributes to people losing interest in reading from a young age.

I saw an angel casually walk down a street with a human head in his mouth. I'd post the video but, y'know, rule 4.

East LA by Atlantic and Whittier. Used to be an opera house.

These prank channels should be completely demonetized to remove the incentive of doing stupid shit like this in the first place.

They have some pretty high comment standards over at Chapo Trap House.

I really hope they don't act out on blowing up satellites. Kessler Syndrome will ruin any hopes of future space habitation and exploration for generations to come.

To rub it in there's all that free parking and just one parked car. I wonder where the hell are employees park their cars to leave all that space for customers.

Yeah this show hit a little close to home. I was working in a biomedical company's HQ that was the size of a small gated village. This place had dozens of buildings, 5 cafeterias, a couple of fancy parks, and even an elementary school/daycare. The daycare is what really freaked me out. I wouldn't be surprised if the kids were being taught to narc on their families through being drip fed pro-corporate propaganda.

It taught me we're not in danger of being in a corporate dystopia because we're already living it.

The company wasted $27 million buying a dumb patent where we wasted even more money trying to make it work. My boss made some reliability studies showing the design sucked but the director heading the project didn't want to hear it. Eventually my boss was let go because of this and I decided to turn in my 2 weeks right after. A few months later the project was canceled and the director fired.

This is the kind of shit Japan said about its Great East Asia Co Prosperity Sphere when it basically subjugated a lot of its neighbors prior to WWII... I hope history won't repeat itself in such a way.
