imagine how much quicker and more efficient public transport would be if it didn’t contain the bottleneck of paying fare at the front? if people could just shuffle on and find their seats instead of forming and waiting in a queue? if you could board the bus from the side door as well as the front door? imagine what better things those schmucks working fare enforcement could be doing with their lives.
imagine how much easier it would be for victims of domestic abuse if housing was free and guaranteed? if nobody was tied to their abuser through financial means and could just leave and start anew without fear of destitution? if childcare was a public resource given to everyone who has children instead of the sole responsibility of the two individuals that created the child?
imagine how many people we could feed if food was distributed directly for free as a matter of course instead of being shipped to stores to sit in purgatory on shelves until it’s either bought, stolen, or thrown out because it didn’t sell? imagine nobody ever having their life ruined because they were starving and shoplifted food to survive? imagine “shoplifting” (based as it may be now) becoming unheard of because there are no shops to lift from and everyone is already fed anyway?
capitalism kills innovation, and more importantly,
capitalism kills human beings.
Imagine how sick it would be if street art were legal and every inch of every sidewalk and wall were covered in spraypaint instead of being covered up in ugly grey or power washed away. Something I think about often
yes exactly!! graffiti makes the world more beautiful <3
I think sometimes people forget that the gov is the corporations’ bitch, not the other way round.
This has made the city go “wait, it sucks that we can’t punish corporations who do this”, though:
Los Angeles City Controller Kenneth Mejia tweeted Friday that StreetsLA would be fining Universal Studios $250 for trimming trees without a city permit. He also said that “outdated laws limit fine amounts and aren’t equitable across offenders, especially big corporations” and that he will recommend these laws be reevaluated.
tumblr staff says that if we don’t buy $17,000 in crabs by 10 p.m. the whole website is going to be shut down by hotel management and all the guests are going to have to go home
After 8 foot tall lady dimitrescu went on a rampage through the internet getting everyone horny as fuck, I stopped being dysphoric about my height and instead use it to my advantage
This is what I tried to explain to US platforms like Patreon when they suspended my account for having a nude statue as the background image: I live in Europe, I can go and see a nude statue within a 5 minutes walk. Children can see them, they’re not in some 18+ container. I will never understand those policies.
as someone who got into one piece when they were twelve and has rewatched/reread thru it multiple times, and every time i saw sauls death i went “okay but are we sure hes actually dead?” before remembering it was a flashback and therefore oda had no reason to reveal he was actually alive only to be vindicated 15!!! years later, garp being shown frozen and impaled and smiling as he “dies” doesnt mean i think hes dead
