And they're mostly US-style Libertarians, with rugged self-sufficiency. They'll build their own yachts, cars, personal jets, and holiday resorts!
@Npars01 @MugsysRapSheet @SrRochardBunson Because they think they'll have air conditioning after the apocalypse.
No, really.
Their brains are so fried by money, they think they will remain rich even if civilization collapses. If they ever understood that civilization is what makes them rich, that understanding is long gone. They believe they'll still own stuff when the fallout settles.
It's like thinking gravity doesn't apply to you because you have a private plane.
DeSantisβ presidential campaign may be short-lived as popularity nosedives: columnist - Raw Story - Celebrating 19 Years of Independent Journalism https://www.rawstory.com/desantis-2660495386/
Florida MAGA Gov Desantis is signing HB 7 to "ban teachers from making students feel guilt or shame about their race because of historical events."
I've said this before.
Some white Americans were abolitionists, and many were enslavers. If learning about America's history of racism makes you feel guilty, then you need to explain why you associate more with enslaver guilt than with abolitionist pride.
Might just be that you're telling on yourself.

Put my head down, grit my teeth, and push through it.
What do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades do when they wake up already having a bad day?
@nellie_m @chin @actuallyautistic
I do that at work in meetings. They'll start wandering off the topic - or worse, the whole meeting could have been an email - and I have no problem reining it back in.
A customer sent an email with questions about a current contract. The Systems Engineer sent out a meeting invite for next week, to "get on the same page", then forwarded us the email. It was basic stuff, just needed answers. I answered, customer is happy. SE canceled the meeting.
Winning!
@ScottSoCal @Dingsextrem @AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic I have definitely gotten something similar to this for being an atheist! And bisexual. And chronically ill. π΅βπ« It still sounds impossibly ignorant and weird.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
