tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 26/05/2026I don't disagree. And I have no idea what that would look like. I do want to reinforce the good that has come from it even if they are just byproducts. In situations like now, I believe in the do it all and do it now approach. 020
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 26/05/2026I do think it is important for individuals and groups to keep pushing this as they have been. It may not be having the desired effect on current members, but it is effecting primaries. It is giving primary voters more information. And it is putting future congress people on the record. 020
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 20/05/2026I would still play ball. Like it was against a high school rival. Cleats first. The goal being to get them to cry and cancel as unfair before getting kicked out. And I would love every minute of it. 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 06/05/2026I don't think its defeatist to point out that you need people in congress who are willing to enforce existing laws. You can make 100 more reforms or laws but you still need folks who will enforce them not just talk about making more laws. 060
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 25/04/2026Would be hilarious if it fell apart on them. What guarantee would make me draft differently with any confidence? 020
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 10/04/2026This reminds me of how a minister crafts his sermon. Start with the point you want to make. Turn it into a story. Search "the source" for quotes that back up the point you want to make and sprinkle it into the story. 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 28/03/2026I think this is a good counterpoint. Movements can get coopted in any direction. If the point is that big $ is using this as pressure relief to avoid unavoidable demand for change the opposite is true as well and it can be used to build overwhelming and unavoidable demand for change. 020
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 23/03/2026So what happens to "markets" when the information being inputted is not true and/or slop? Can "markets" be rational outside of a honest and truthful environment? Why would anyone trust their money in "markets" that exists in the current conditions we've created? 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 22/03/2026Are they great points? Why is shoplifting a crime? It could be handled in other ways, like societal norms and pressures, better social safety nets, etc. Systems don't find equilibrium. People using systems do. I think everyone should always take their case to trial. 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 18/03/2026I am sure those and many other specifics could lead those who study markets down many interesting paths of inquiry. I was being general because I see the original argument repeatedly and it just doesn't hit like it should. I think if it was communicated differently it might be heard differently. 001
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 18/03/2026Wouldn't 10% of the population buying stuff mean a smaller amount of pricier goods. And vice versa. If 90% of the population were buying stuff with that same money, the drive would be more stuff at lower prices? Doesn't that seem like a necessary change for local manufacturing to exist? 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 14/03/2026I had the same experience migrating just now. 020
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 13/03/2026Is there no Energy Saver type logo for products made by employee owned companies? No Amazon type website of bcorp products? What type of companies do you want to support? 001
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 13/03/2026Yes, but when will it change to Boycott x and use y instead. I went looking to buy a piece of clothing the other day and spent 2 hours trying to find a local business selling union made stuff. Are there no companies doing it in the way we want to reward and say do more of this? 110
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 11/03/2026So how does the state assembly get pushed into doing this? Start an org to get enough people to pressure a state rep to draft and put forward the legislation? Or make it a ballot question? Some other way? 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 08/02/2026This. They fly up at dusk. Down at dawn. In was out one morning at down getting in my car and heard rustling and then thud. Turned around and a turkey was getting on his feet to walk away. The branch he was on had broken and both fell. I laughed all day. 010
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 08/02/2026Its a disease that as a society we allow and venerate. 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 08/02/2026What's the correlation between money and having a soul? Where's the research that says that there is a threshold of wealth that if 90% of humans cross they become soulless, craven shells of a full human being? Isn't his article just admitting that money corrupts the soul? 100
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 27/01/2026"We wrote it exactly as they said..." Is a stunning admission that you have nothing of substance inside you. That your only capable of appeasement. So whoever is the loudest squeakiest wheel is who are currently trying to appease. 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 14/01/2026Is it wrong to think that Rs going hard at them, setting a precedent that it is now OK to go hard against the elite class/politicians, might in the future prove useful? 100
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 11/01/2026Every life you take, including an animals, has an impact on you, whether you want it to or not. 110
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 11/01/2026I have not. But anything that makes them uncomfortable or think twice is a complicating factor for them. 100
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 18/12/2025And then you have the fact that such a list begs Why haven't charges been filed for that? 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 18/12/2025I like it. I think it would benefit the public. I also think they would never agree on what should go on the list. Who should be in charge of writing the list. Who should be in charge of deciding what is allowed on the list. 100
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 07/12/2025media.tenor.coma group of people are standing in a tent and the word doctor is on the bottomAlt: a group of people are standing in a tent and the word doctor is on the bottom 020
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 25/11/2025Its definitely strawman TB. Will never get over it. 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 20/11/2025I really liked Astoria. I'm born East Coast, but if I ever get to retire its on my short list. 010
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 16/11/2025Maybe air traffic should have a tiered system. Priority being passenger, then cargo, then private. So instead of 10% being cut, private would have been cut first. 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 10/11/2025I hate that Drew was right. Fuuuuuck! 100
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 10/11/2025Both. Not either or. Voters have the numbers advantage. If this is a war, open as many fronts as possible to utilize your strength of numbers. 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 10/11/2025This is weak shit. "I won't do the right thing unless I see evidence it will work." Fuck off. 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 10/11/2025I know that's correct. Its just hard to stomach. 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 10/11/2025I think it would make the news in a way normal folks would notice if there was a large enough defection from the D party over this. 010
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 10/11/2025I saw at least one hint at that by one of them. As someone who doesn't research and read everything and follow closely, I was thinking it would be easier to see and identify any remaining sincere pols for me and the more general public. 100
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 10/11/2025I understand. I see the statements coming out about "I'm a no vote." And I just want to understand that they could actually do something to prove whether they were sincere or not. Actions not words. Also wondering if it were a way of getting a third party through whatever is standing in the way. 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 10/11/2025@senategabe.bsky.social - A question. Could D's disgusted by this deal change their party affiliation from D to I? Immediately, to make a point and distance themselves from the D's destroying their party. Or are there repercussions, like committees or campaign $, that would prevent that? 020
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 10/11/2025Try harder. Pull themselves up by their bootstraps. They have none to blame but themselves. They are simple not trying hard enough. If the studied at congress college harder.... 000
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 08/11/2025I do think your right that Mamdani and some of his policies being in the news will naturally bring up a lot more opportunities for people to see and talk about possibilities. I think if they catch on we will see new more accessible language pop up and everyone here will be like, duh it called x. 020
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 08/11/2025Its frustrating that most don't and won't ever know the difference. And that most don't want to have a conversation about how they are different. I try to slip the concepts into conversations using normal language. I don't find it to be very effective. Just planting seeds. 210
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 08/11/2025Some get there from defiance and know the "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me." Some get there through studying/academics and have that language. But what version of "Eat the rich" is accessible to suburbia? 010
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 08/11/2025There is a lack of connecting the vibe, to a common vocab that everyone finds easy to digest. Some get there thru unions and know the solidarity language. 120
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 08/11/2025I think everyone feels/vibes this concept. We just don't talk about it using language that is effective. Some language has been corrupted/perverted and will get tuned out by some groups but not other groups. Some of the academic language will make some groups tune out. 210
tfitz35.myatproto.social @tfitz35.myatproto.social · 07/11/2025Maybe Elon sees the writing on the wall and is cashing out. Sucks that pension funds will be the ones left holding the bag. 000
