  • They’re terrifying.

    My entire childhood was spent in churches… Catholic, Baptist, and Assembly of God… and their schools.

    They all had one thing in common, they were bat-shit crazy. I was horrified every day, adulthood and leaving them behind was a magnificent relief.

    This is a huge part of why America is such a shithole, in my opinion.

    … and of course they don’t pay taxes in the USA, with far greater tax relief than any secular non-profits… so we all get to pay for their ridiculous drek, whether Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Mormons, even Church of Scientology, the taxpayers carry them all.

    Occam’s razor insists that you were de- and then re-programmed to think that you were in space viewing the Earth, when, in fact, you were in a black room hooked up to an IV with a lurching goon whispering into your ear.

    You never left the Denver airport.

    IT’S MORE LIKELY THAN NOT. It happens every day.




  • The majority of employees are not high school kids, you’re mindlessly repeating McD propaganda.

    A minimum wage job was supposed to keep a family of four over the poverty line with one worker, according to the 1938 labor law.

    We abandoned that with a long decline in wages since the 1970s.

    We used to be able to support the “hash brown based economy” on far higher wages for most (adjusted for inflation and purchasing power). We still can… back in the day, a CEO would make 50x what a front-line worker would make, now 500x or even more, and there’s an entire executive and stockholder class making a fortune.

    Figure it out.

    p.s. I had to pay rent and bills and buy food as a high school kid, but fuck me right.


  • Anyone who claims these are anti-semitic is obviously caricaturophobic, and possibly a cartoonophobe in addition.

    I’ve seen cartoons of King Charles that put these to shame. The more grotesque, the better, in my book… one of my favorite such artists is Ralph Steadman.

    Anyway, this is another example of constant bullshit artists have to put up with, they are often treated with contempt. I’m glad at least a few papers are still employing cartoonists, soon it will all be gone and we’ll be left with USA-Weekly-style generic trash.
