If they didn’t vote, yes they voted for Trump.

equire the average man to trust the government a government that might be lying about us going to the moon, not everyone wants the usa to get credit for it (looking at you Russia).

So you genuinely believe it is more likely that we didn’t land on the moon in the late 60s, but is in fact more believable that every government in the world since the late 60s have worked together in international unison, from turnovers of governments, left wing to fascism, working together to keep the wool pulled over the billions of regular citizens?

Geo-politically, some countries can’t agree that humans have a right to access to water. They go to war over petty disagreements. But they’ll completely work together to defend the global cover-up of the moon landing?

Fuck right off.

I’ve been on Lemmy for a little while now, but this is by far, without a shred of a doubt, the dumbest, most idiotic comment I’ve ever read here. Anyone with more IQ than a toaster knows we landed on the moon. There are literal transmitters on the fucking moon that every country in the world has access to pointing to and proving.

Christ fucking sake. It’s 2026. We’re literally fucking doomed as a species, aren’t we.

Why long term progress year over year when you can gamble the future on a quarterly line go up.

Assert dominance.

Nah, other users won’t know who you are.

But Reddit can sell your information and send police to your house if you joke about Israel.

JUST IN: Reddit CEO says company is considering requiring all bots on the platform to click on ads in order to drive revenue to Reddit.

No one ever accused reddit of making good decisions.

Are you American? Than it’s your fault.

Hey bud. I’m Canadian. I’m Canadian and North American. If anyone ever called me an ‘American’ I’d punch them in the throat. The last thing I ever want to be compared to is your dogbowl of a country.

No one has. I live in Canada. If anyone called me ‘American’ I’d take compete offence to the word. If they called me North American, I’d nod.

OP is an idiot.

North America is Canada and the USA. And there’s also central America, which isn’t included in those two terms.

Just casually ignoring Mexico as part of North America says everything I need to know about how intelligent you are.

Name checks out, you’re obtuse.

Are you American? Then yes it’s your fault. This is because of the USA.

This will only affect poor countries.

This is a remarkably ignorant statement. Gas in Canada has skyrocketed over 40 cents in the last week. Diesel nearly twice as much. This will absolutely affect grocery prices. I’m a local truck driver for Dairy Farmers of Canada and the fuel prices will limit transportation of goods and we will see not just fuel prices rise but grocery prices across the entire store because of how expensive it is to transport anything now.

I live in Canada and we have a surplus of fertilizer and we supply dozens of nations with it. Guess how much it’s gonna cost to transport it even nationally?

If you don’t think this will have a catastrophic rippling effect across dozens of industries and factors, you’re completely hopeless. Lumber will cost more for construction projects. Food will cost more. It will cost you more to mail a package to a friend. Everything will go up because of this. This is a seismic global economic shift and it’s all because the USA elected the dumbest fucking person to lead the USA.

I’m a highly intelligent person. It’s always been both infuriating and absolutely dumbfounded how management of a company can have all the information on how their company is run, how employee interviews, evaluations, and observations occur, how profit growth vs expenditures relate to each other, and still sit down in a board room together and not only brainstorm, but literally agree to an idea that makes their company fucking worse in every possible way, and piss off everyone who is why they’re in this position.

I will never understand it. Especially with my company who doesn’t have shareholders or shit. We’re a completely private and insular company. We’re family owned. And yet they still make decisions that hurt them by pissing off the people that work for them.

It’s fascinating.

Funny enough, our entire industry is unionized except for our sector. From the producers to the plants, everyone is protected except for what we do. It shouldn’t be difficult to get us unionized but it’s still a rather uphill battle. And talking to some of my co-workers, everyone is willing but I’m the only one taking the lead on it.

I have coals in the fire for unionizing my industry. Waiting until later this year where I have a better financial situation as a backup plan in case I need to do it unemployed.

But when I’m done, my friends and co-workers will be unionized.

Quit.

Seriously.

I’m a local truck driver for a smallish local trucking company. My company installed new dash cams with both internal and external cameras. Every truck I know has at the internal camera at least covered in tape, if not removed completely (Mine is gone completely). If my company required the internal cameras, at least half the fleet would likely quit and it would be catastrophic for the company.

One of the perks of the job is being alone and just chilling out most of the day. You don’t get to watch me.
