This is so cute! But also...

The Wife observed "It's like the billionaires against the rest of humanity. They've got the resources (height, skill, training) and they're working together while everyone else is running around very ineffectively."

The kids would have had a better chance if they had ganged up and started tackling the adult players individually, ripping them limb from limb.

"A billionaire death cult has its fingers around humanity’s throat. It both causes and downplays our existential crisis. The oligarchs are not just a class enemy but, as they have always been, a societal enemy: a few thousand people can destroy civilisations. It’s the billions v the billionaires, and the stakes could not possibly be higher."

George Monbiot

well, the Billionaires do so knowing they won't face any Accountability nor Consequences.

• Because in the end that's what keeps people in line if they don't understand nor believe that "Doing X is bad" and thus they don't do it, it's the Foreseeable Consequences and Instant Accountability that does…

exactly!

Besides a driver upfront & two workers at the rear are the standard even in Europe, because most garbage trucks can take 1 big or twovregular/small containers at the same time and they do workflow to maximize the amount of containers they empty per time.

• There's a reason this job even has a traineeship program in Germany, and it's not just due to safety reasons, but because it is a demanding job.
  
  • And the people doing this filthy job certainly deserve their paycheck, if not a hefty raise on top of the "Filthyness Premium".

  
  

Cuz unlike value-removing Billionaires, they do provide a vital service and prevent cities from choking in their own filth!

• Everyone who claims otherwise is a useful idiot who ate up classist propaganda.

Part of this mindset is the widespread misinterpretation of science fiction by prominent #billionaires, viewing science fiction as forecast rather than allegory.

Adam Becker covers this in his book, "More Everything Forever: AI Overlords, Space Empires, and Silicon Valley's Crusade to Control the Fate of Humanity"

cannot say this enough:

Tom Steyer is running as a democrat in California to sabotage the other Democratic Party candidates, especially Katie Porter.

she would veto this legislation.

DO NOT TRUST THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ESTABLISHMENT.

the #California primaries are a referendum on #billionaires #techbros and ultimately, the kind of corporatist #fascism that passes for centrism in this country.

BILLIONAIRES ARE THE ENEMY. don't let Steyer hand California to the fascists.

Compared to other 3D printer laws proposed this year, California’s is the most troubling. It criminalizes open source, reduces consumer choice, and creates a new bureaucratic burden. eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/dang… #opensource #3dprinting #AB2047

The Dangers of California’s Legislation to Censor 3D Printing

"Those who cheer his coming are not generally the rich and powerful, or the religious leaders and government officials, but the ones who have to remove their cloaks to create a makeshift royal path, because they don’t just have spare cloth sitting around. On this morning, Jesus enters Jerusalem and begins to usher in an entirely new way of being human in the world."

He is very much a behind-the-scenes operator. ...

Marshall – who has made vast sums speculating on the financial markets – is now investing so heavily in media, education, and the church. The goal is not so much piecemeal reform as civilisational renewal."

James Bloodworth offers a valuable report on the rise of elite evangelical nationalism in the UK with ample support from billionaire Sir Paul Marshall:

"He believes that liberalism has 'lost its moorings', that the Enlightenment has corrupted society, and that only a revival of Christian values – as interpreted by a narrow and authoritarian strain of elite evangelicalism – can save Britain from moral collapse."
