Woohoo @thejuicemedia is on the fediverse \o/

I've been a HUGE fan of their #HonestGovernmentAd where you'll learn about all the #ShitFuckery going around and presented like it's all #CoolAndNormal

@doomscroller
Can't wait to see #TheJuiceMedia's response to this. #CoolAndNormal

I just checked and there isn't a new one as a response to this, but 👇 does seem appropriate:

"The makers of Instant Pot did something horribly wrong: they made a really good product that works very well and does not need to be replaced frequently."
...
"This is a great success from the perspective of *industry*, in Veblen’s sense, but terrible for *business*. The makers of Instant Pot failed to sufficiently sabotage their product"

Holy cow, I LOVE the #HonestGovernmentAd by @thejuicemedia 😎

Love the fatalist stance btw 👍

I don't expect anything to change (https://x0f.org/@FreePietje/108381399574801007), but I can still be surprised by the stupidity of it.
The very essence of life (on earth), fresh water, is going to be a huge problem. And people won't care. Until it directly affects them.
If you're living in The West that is.

But yeah, weapons technology will be used to 'manage the situation'.
Wonderful euphemism for killing people.
