I think everyone that wishes for the fall of civilization should have to read The Road - That was a bleak story.

That would suck to have to have done that, sounds like he was at least a empathetic human.
It's horrific to witness that kind of death, or it was for me.
Yeah, it took a while to get over that shit, but I guess it worked because I sure as shit changed my ways.
As a result of being a dumb ass teenager the state gave me 50 community service hours. I got assigned to an animal shelter that was being managed by some very deranged people. I witnessed some horrific things that mentally unstable people will do to animals when no one cares.
My job was to pile up the euthanized animals in a pickup and off load them at the landfill. Fucking grim.
I have some friends that got married and decided to merge their two last names and create a brand new last name. I thought it was a cool idea
It also reinforces who he is to less hard core supporters which may have a positive effect over time.
That we are emotional animals that sometimes have logical thoughts. But we live in a society (at least in the west) where we have to pretend that we are logical animals that sometimes have emotions.

Steve Carega: He attack your wife?
UN: That’s what I thought, man.
RR: Come on now.
SC: You calling his wife a liar? What’s up buddy, you want something? You need something? How’d you get here, bro? You walk all the way back, past all the cattle, you walk back here? Come on. You walk to go through a gated community? Whatchu want?
RR: You think I would do all that to hang out with you? Come on, now. Come on, now.
SC: Buddy, you’re crossing the line now, bro.

UN: Yeah, we all know that.
SC: We know that, bro. We know what you want, buddy. We know!
RR: Bruh. They creepers! They following me.
The way I see people like this is that they have too many other things tied up in their decision. It's not just about facts they have friends, co-workers, family that all believe a certain way. If they were to make a big change to this way of thinking it puts them on the outside of their social group.
But what you may have done with your line of questioning is set a seed for change in their thinking. It may take a while to grow into an obvious change but it can happen. Of course this means that they have to put the work in to grow those ideas, which may not happen but it was good to do.
Kroger is the largest grocery store chain in the U.S. by revenue and owns a number of different brands, including Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Pick’n Save, Food 4 Less, and Dillions, among a host of others
Kroger told Gizmodo... “customers are shopping more with Kroger now than ever because we are fighting inflation and providing great value.”
... or maybe customers don't have much of a choice ?
One study by the First Street Foundation, a research firm that studies climate threats to housing, found that roughly 3.2 million Americans have already migrated, many over short distances, out of flood zones, such as low-lying parts of Staten Island, Miami and Galveston, Texas. Over the next 30 years, 7.5 million more are projected to leave those perennially flooded zones, according to the study.
All of this suggests a possible boom for inland and Northern cities. But it also will leave behind large swaths of coastal and other vulnerable land where seniors and the poor are very likely to disproportionately remain.

I mean Cuban has some redeeming qualities but he is still a gold hording billionaire. Linda Khan is a threat to his and all his billionaire buddies' status to being a billionaire, so it's not really too surprising he wants her gone.
And this is what frustrates me about billionaires, this pathological fear that they have about losing anything, especially money. These people are addicts to money and power. And when someone or some institution gets in the way of them getting their next money fix they will do whatever they can to tear them down. And there are many many people in this world that enable this addiction they have, they praise it and encourage them to do more. People like Khan are seen as 'narcs' out to ruin their fun. Fuck that.
I would love to see a nationwide intervention and help these poor souls break this dangerous and deadly addiction they have.
