Reply to Reading positions: How do you read? by sad-butsocial

Sitting or lying on couch, standing in line waiting for any reason, on the toilet, on my side every night before falling asleep.

I’ve found also that I probably use the smartphone as much as a paper weight to keep book pages open as to mindlessly scroll through.

It’s not about your right to get the biggest, fattest piece of chocolate mousse after dinner.

It’s about everyone at minimum at least getting a seat at the table to be fed.

The small minority of your ilk can fight over cake. We simply want a square meal. And feel that’s the least we can ensure as a civilized society.

This odious person is so predictable. Attempting to denigrate the nurses and DSA. Lame-ass Con.

Aren’t you the same guy who last winter trolled the #BronxFire for that entire week, as a disgusting apologist for the landlords.

Wonder why?

Maybe he himself is one. He’s apparently once claimed that he had 700k in funds (check his posts) for which he appealed to the public for how to invest. I could go on…

Folks, I urge you to read this guy’s posting history.

This person will troll anything regarding workers rights, the poor, socialists, the homeless, etc.

Love the NY Post coverage. Anytime there’s a situation in which people who need to be helped are actually being helped it’s always a matter of money. And they’ll always be there to make sure you know how much it costs. Riles up that indignation. How much?. “I don’t want my tax dollars going to those people.”

They’re in business to divide and conquer the 99%. With stories just like these.

Notice there’s never a story calling into focus the obscene budget of the NYPD. Or the fact that the CEO of energy monopoly Con Ed takes in over $10million a year (for what?). Or that the NY Public Library has their “budget” constrained constantly while the high crimes of the financial looters go on pillaging without pause? Or that some scumbag Wall St hedge fund guy will make in a week what most people here on Reddit won’t see in a year.

But yeah. Let’s just keep beating up on the needy, the poor, the maligned and marginalized. The good ole American Way. Or more likely according to the truth, as Lou Reed put it, “Give me your poor and tired, I’ll piss in them. That’s what the Statue of Bigotry says.”

I’m not saying that anytime one of these “deals” are made there isn’t the hint of corruption present.

But be careful. If you’re really concerned about corruption the NY Post, the ultimate propaganda mouthpiece of the ruling elite and the cops, is gonna misdirect you every time.

Practically everything they print is for the purpose of keeping you in Fear. So that you’re more easily manipulated and subsumed under their control. They choose an angle for a story that, instead of eliciting focused indignation for an economic system that is a failure in providing a safeguard for people who genuinely need it, makes you turn your indignation to the people themselves.

Problem is that almost the totality of police work does not prevent crime. They mostly react to crime.

And their responses are often the worst possible ones.

If you’re really seriously about reducing crime you have to grapple with poverty, communities without access to youth programs, exorbitant rents and cost of living, etc.

More cops is definitely not the answer. They’ve showed us over and over and over again what they’re about. Excessive violence, abuse of authority, immunity from “rule of law” and frankly, yes - being asked to respond to too much, makes them the wrong answer.
