The whole aim of the GOP is to benefit rich people. They're bought and paid for by the 1%. All of their culture war fear mongering is set up as a distraction from the fact that we're losing the class war.

I think I get where you're coming from: if the cart wrangler is paid by the hour, what do they care? I'll offer a counter point.

Have you worked in retail? You're assuming the person collecting your wayward cart doesn't have an a-hole middle manager breathing down their neck asking them why it's taking so long to bring in the carts. That lovely stroll in the sun could be a write up for someone who is just trying to get by.

I don't think you're off base with your intentions. I'm all for sticking it to faceless corporations, but I wouldn't want to do that at the potential expense of someone's livelihood.

There would be a national day of gooning.

How about proposing actual progressive legislation that would help her constituents, and calling out the Republicans who oppose it?

This is what tipped the scales for me to go from vegetarian to vegan. The idea of separating a calf from their mother just so we could have the milk for ourselves just didn't sit right with me. I realize food's a sensitive topic for people, but everyone should be aware of where their food comes from, and to this day some people think cows are just milk factories that don't need to be impregnated first. But to be fair, the agricultural industry is really good at hiding the aspects of their business that would make the average person ask too many questions.

They backpedaled on that because they aren't worth shit.

What else are the fandoms you're talking about built around if not art - Movies, games, books, shows?

You're telling me how gatekeeping works, but not why it's a good thing.

Why is your stake in someone else's art more important than anyone else's?

Probably something like RuneScape, not because I particularly like playing it, but more so because that game is one of the least likely to ever be shut down. The idea of living out my afterlife all alone in an abandoned or offline game is terrifying.
