Regarding Mangione's back meds, I am 100% disabled due to injuries to my back that I suffered in the 90s. I have not suffered a reduction in effect from the medications, and in fact take a lower dose now than I have in the past. However, I have worked construction since I was injured, and over time the damage to my spine has worsened. This is likely to happen to other folks as well over time, and may be why they report their need for pain meds increases over time.

Mangione is right about violence. Violence is able to solve any problem. However, violence always begets new problems, and this is often not worth the cost of fixing the original problem. For many corporations, violence is the only solution they countenance, because they make weapons for profit. Nonviolent solutions to problems are an existential threat to them.

Perhaps the German woman accosted by the aged migrant should have performed this:

No No Square Dance

Dr. Seuss is banned? Man. I was raised on Dr. Seuss. My kids loved Dr. Seuss.

It is not actually impossible for people to post on social media from prison. People smuggle cell phones into institutions in their capacious anuses every day. Prison work crews are comprised of the inmates with the most anal capacity, because they are needed to smuggle all the drugs and phones the market requires. I think the test to get on a work crew (the guys that pick up garbage along highways) is whether they can take 12 cans of chew.

I learned to draw instead.

Thanks!

lol, yeah I seen that no square dance. That thing is so idiotic, that its like something out 90s/2000s comedy satire i.e., UK version of the office.

Yeah, meds can help manage pain / inflamtion - I am not sure the extent, but in regards to Mangione, but he got it surfing, so not sure how that happened. Maybe he crashed into some rocks or something. Either way - about violence, yes it makes new problems - often downstream.

About Dr Seuss, yeah he was banned. It was because of his war propaganda depictions that he done - from what I remember. Of course, no one in the modern age has the ability to look at things in the context of history. But yeah, goodbye Dr Seuss.
Thanks!

Man, I went to all the trouble to make an adult version of 'Fox in Socks', and now no one will even know what I am lampooning.

I feel he lacked the opportunity to better consider Ted Kazcynski's views, and also his view on capitalism was poorly understood. I bet both he and Uncle Ted mischaracterised capitalism as responsible for the flaws of centralization. I know Ted didn't even mention it, and seemed to think that goods and services could only be provided through centralized production and collective labor. This is kind of ironic since Ted built his shack innawoods himself, and also crafted his letter bombs himself.

Thanks!
