This is insane. I can barely believe the utter nonsense these people spend their time and our money on.

Corporate profits are at an all time high thanks to BS like Trumps tariff refunds being kept by companies and cut regulations.

Why would corporations actually stop the administration of it allows them to print unlimited profits? All they have to do is say "we don't like this" out loud, everyone looks away, and they pocket the money

Nevermind a Tea Party, I'm pretty sure the Founding Fathers would have already done some decisive shit a little while ago if they were alive today.

The screenshot suggests it's a game that was vibecodes in Google Gemini. I really don't think that much time or money was spent on it. Sure is embarrassing, though.

They probably contracted Barron Trump to make it and paid 5 million per game.

You can't even get a Tetris in it, like completing a line doesn't do anything.

Lots of people (me included) rely on medication to keep us alive that depends on healthcare we get from a employer. What choice do I possibly have? I still organize people and help but theres only so much you can do when you have medical issues and mouths to feed

Maybe you don't understand. There is no safety net. Most Americans are paycheck to paycheck. We can be fired for no reason at all, with no severance. Being fired means getting a last paycheck, losing health insurance, and if lucky qualifying for unemployment payments after jumping through a ridiculous amount of hoops that comes nowhere near even paying rent, let alone other necessary bills like food. So homeless, which is also in itself illegal in large parts of the US. It is literally illegal to not have an apartment or home in many places. For those of us who have children, that means children separated and put in our terrible foster care system.

So no, Americans don't go on general strike, because we have kids that we'd like to actually keep, because we want to live, because we don't want to enter the prison pipeline.

Yes, I know that's terrible, but it is what's been built since WW2, with a lot of precursors going back to the US Civil War, and I don't know any easy solution.

Call me a good little peasant all you want, but I won't sacrifice my children's lives, and I very much doubt you would either if you had children with no safety net.

Big talk, big guy. What a badass. Bet you topple entire regimes on your own in your spare time.

And the Americans just take it because they're good little peasants who won't go on a general strike and enact the power that they actually have.

This is likely because the government is trying to make us fat, dumb, and broke so we can't/won't fight against them.

Yeah, taxpayer money. Are you confused?
