You know what else they could have done, as a compromise? Make the ad screens partially transparent, by stippling the pixels, or by having glass sections, or by turning the LCD completely transparent for part of its refresh… there are many ways to not be anti-consumer garbage meant only to jump in front of eyeballs.
I just blocked MeanwhileOnGrad because it seems like it’s just a place to pile on someone and talk about how much everyone hates them. Not quite the same thing, but basically, that’s what happens.
Best we can do is the second amendment. Fix it yourselves, citizens!
This comic is propaganda and misinformation.
It’s basically saying “if you try to enact gun control, we will shoot you”, make of that what you will.
Reminds me, I need to order boot stickers for some mild vandalism.
That’ll do it. There’s no way Trump would ever disregard a law.

There is only one way to effectively get bullies to stop, and it’s not good for your continued employment. I recommend seeking a new job and reporting your issues to someone in charge. At least those are some productive actions you can (legally) take.
I was coming to say that also.
The stock market is nothing more than gambling on the public (rich people) sentiment about how well that company is going to do. It’s similar to how there is gambling on who will win the presidency, and does not affect the outcomes.
Buying stock is not investment, the money that the company recieves comes from issuing the stock. Your money does not fund the evil things that the company does, unless you are paying for goods/services from that company. But, I have seen that stock price influences the decisions of leadership inside the company. Your individual action will not influence the stock price.
Who is that one guy in the trifecta? Almost feels like this image was meant to draw attention to him.
(Edit: That is Thomas Homan)
I’ve had a chance to watch it now. Even he understands the spirit of the sentiment. Despair (hopelessness) leads to inaction, anger spurs it on.
We can be hopeful once we’re free.

Things like this move me to imagine a world completely devoid of ads. “But how would you discover a product you didn’t know you needed?” I don’t care. I would go without that product. That is preferable to me.
