  • Yeah people just care about bread on the table and the roof over their head. Telling 150 million voting Americans to care about the world is falling on early 100 million deaf ears.

    75 million don’t care, or actively dislike anybody outside the US.

    Another 38 million only care as long as it’s convenient. And right now it’s not convenient.

    Maybe 10-15 million are anti Republican because they’re lgbtq+.

    Of the 150 million voters, 80 million are voting on a single issue. And for many of them, it’s either for or against abortion.

    We’ve been supplying the West with a military for decades. We put more in to our ministry, and by extension every NATO member country’s military than the rest of NATO combined. We don’t have social programs, no healthcare, no child care, under funded education, no paid sick leave, no parental leave. We have a big shiney military.

    People can’t afford to take a day off for the flu and they’re supposed to care about Europe?

    Big ask mate. People here care about how they’re doing today and tomorrow. Not Ukraine 6 months from now.




  • Shit I was saying when Biden was still running and I got crucified for it.

    As you shift to the right you leave your base behind, ignoring a growing, left swinging faction within the party is going to lead to outcomes like this. Working class people all have the same problems, and one party says they’ll do something about it. They’re lying, people who are generally smarter and paying attention know they’re lying, but that’s not most people.

    The other party has had a chance, and failed to do anything to alleviate the concerns of the working class. Regardless of the circumstances, or their actual ability to affect change. And they spent the entire election cycle trying to curry votes from a dedicated base instead of getting voters excited about something.

    Swing left, swing hard. Become the unhinged leftist the other side is already accusing you of being.

    Well sometimes there’s a single cab at the airport so I think we can narrow this down.

    It can’t be Omaha, because the airport is in the Iowa part of Omaha. And that area is hilly and forested once you get out of town. Though this could be Sarpy county between Bellevue and Papillon. Which would place this encounter at around 42nd and Cornhusker, and there are better ways to get there rather than driving over the fields so that ain’t it.

    It’s not West O, because that airport explosively serves wealthy people and cabs just aren’t there.

    The terrain is hilly, but also cultivated with grain, but the fields are light green, just starting to grow. A red sky indicates impending thunderstorm. There are no trees so the farthest east side of my state is out.

    So this has to be Lancaster county, the only other major airport that might have a single cab is in Lincoln, and the cab is to go to Omaha. Specifically, this is west of Lincoln, in the early spring. Which means not only does the mugger have a gun, so does the victim. Spider Man is also armed. There are 4 rifles and some deer meat in the trunk of the cab.
