Elon's not very happy about it either, it seems.

I've got a feeling it's not tRump organizing the bot farm... I suspect Elon, based on his reaction and previous comments. Arrogant bastard.

Thanks for that! I wish doctors during the 60s had been given a clue. I wasn't diagnosed till I retired, emotionally battered and not knowing why I was "different". At one point, my psychologist, frustrated, asked why I insisted that I was "different". My response: "because everyone says I am!"

This is helpful, but what about the water cattle drink? and fish? Those are contaminants in the food we eat. Rice, wheat, corn, etc. Not to mention PFAS. We are murdering ourselves by not demanding that companies not trash our environment

This is a bit misleading the way it's phrased, but the essential point stands.

So what keeps the current private jet owners from leasing one from a carrier? How ya going to handle charter flights? I agree we need to put a crimp in this wasteful practice but I'm not sure there's as clean a solution as some claim.

ummm... Workers of the world, unite! Is that it? I've read this tract, and I generally agree with the foundational premise, but not the generalizations. That's slippery slope you're advocating for.

Keep at it! It DOES eventually get less stressful. You are doing essential work (and expressing yourself better than I am able! ;)_

Can we PLEASE not paint with as wide a brush! Not all execs are criminals. I have worked for leaders that were very conscious of their responsibilities to the employees. I've also worked for some people I would rather not associate with. Most are trying to be good guys/gals.

Don't know where you live, but I can't find an EV for anywhere CLOSE to $20K. Not a possibility in the US on Social Security.

I knew we were in trouble the minute Dubya announced DHS and "Homeland Security". Too much like "The Fatherland", if ya know what I mean. Same mindset, and now we know that it goes the same way it did in the '30s. We NEED to put this fire out!

Hard to ignore idiots when in the workplace. In my case, I didn't even have a "reason" to give 'em because I wasn't diagnosed till my 50s. <frown>

Thanks! Good info, clearly presented and argued. Certainly a caution for the diehard DSA folks. You need buy-in from the voters.

This information is new to me - and unsettling. Time to dig deeper. It's been clear for some time that there was dissent in the population.

"Reform" is NOT a possibility. ELIMINATE and slam the door closed!

A Martian @knoxjason.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
There are no winners here. "Sorry" doesn't cut it. "I didn't vote for this" doesn't cut it. Just know that there are MANY people in the US horrified at what the regime has done and we will set things right just as soon as possible. In the mean time, make the pain as high as possible (sigh)

TRUE! The prof in my EE class told us the equations are all backwards, but they still get the right answer (just change the sign of the result!). This is because of a historic misunderstanding.

Poor analogy! Seat belts have been FORCED on us; no one has mandated that I get a vaccine or be fined. Yes, belts save SOME lives, but I wouldn't be alive writing this had I been belted when I got T-boned. Walked away with just a nasty scratch on my forehead.

THANK YOU for this thought-provoking thread. One practical issue is that when shelter is provided, it isn't close to employment possibilities; it's out on the periphery. Unless the town has good public transit, getting to work or service becomes yet another burden.

USAID is targeted to populations outside the US. Aid goes to people when there is a risk of insufficient food or a disease outbreak. Lower key: helps people be more self-sufficient by helping with access to water and farming assistance. That is - USED to be.

I encourage you to continue! I'm autistic. I hope you find a way to help 'typicals to understand what it's like to be autistic and how they can better interact with us. Unfortunately, the only people I've been able to "reach" are other autistics. Every autistic has their own peculiarities. g'luk
