    The President of the United States interfering in the internal affairs of private corporations, while the part of the electorate who gave him the job clutches their pearls about encroaching ‘socialism’. Not even the most perverse satirical mind could make this shit up. The global supply of hallucinogens is grossly insufficient.

      I think I could grow enough hallucinogenic mushrooms for the entire world given the resources. Whole oats, coco-coir, industrial pressure cookers, sufficient space and people.

      If that happened, I’d feel pretty good knowing I’m bringing the world into a better place.

      That’s the standard right wing operating procedure: “We are morally good, therefore we can do no wrong” and that leads to the classic “rules for thee but not for me”. It hurts any logical brain.

      But there’s clearly an overabundance of stupidity. They’re acting like Idiocracy was a training video.

        Well, yeah, but what can one reasonably expect from a bunch of idiots but to miss the point? It’s what they do best.

        Idiocracy was just a 101 level. Just a beginner. Our current reality seems to be taking that at least to the 407 level

      My take of this is that their definition of socialism is “an economic system where all people appear to not be rich” while their definition of capitalism has to be “some people are super rich”…
