“[X] should be run more like a business”

No, no it shouldn’t. “Run like a business” is shorthand for “cuts corners, preys on consumers, and rewards those who do the most work with the least compensation.”

Schools should not be run like businesses, they should be run like schools — focused on educating students, not making money for shareholders or forcing employees to become de facto customer service agents

Government should not be run like a business, it should be run like a government — spending every last dime it pulls in for the sake of protecting its citizenry and making society more beneficial for all

Businesses shouldn’t even be run like businesses — they should be focused on providing a useful product or service and compensating those that provide that product or service fairly for the work they put in.

I don’t want jack shit run like a business, I want our society to be run like a fucking society. If you want society run like a business, that just tells me where in the business hierarchy you see yourself — the part that does not belong to a healthy society

I think detaching disgust from morality is one of the keys to Chilling Out. You can find inner peace by being able to go "hm! Gross" and recognize if it's an actual problem or not. Cause if it's not an actual problem... it's not your problem 🙏 god bless

btw Yes you should kill invasive species. you should kill pests and parasites (in a way that's environmentally neutral and doesn't decimate every other living thing around). but the average person who willfully kills any bug on sight because it's "just a bug" doesn't know which species are invasive to their areas, they just irrationally hate bugs for no reason other than small-minded fear or an excuse to be mean. and it's honestly ridiculous to me how many people have the mindset that bugs don't deserve to live if they happen to be near you, like Seriously GENUINELY grow the fuck up

i dont trust ppl who just indiscriminately kill bugs. if you have a phobia or allergies or pests im not talking about you. but like if a beetle outside walks by you minding its business and you stomp on it? you're honestly ridiculous bro like you need to grow the fuck up

was reminded of that youtube channel that records footage of that bridge that scalps trucks today. one of the fascinating developments that's happened since i last heard about it is that, in one of their many attempts to stop the trucks from being can-opened, they installed a traffic light that detects when a vehicle that's over the allowed height is coming and turns red so the driver can stop and hopefully notice the signage all around that's screaming "YOUR VEHICLE IS OVERHEIGHT TURN AROUND" and avoid an accident. However as a result sometimes drivers see the light turning yellow and IMMEDIATELY start flooring it to avoid having to stop, ensuring that the roof of their truck just gets fucking annihilated instantly. Really beautiful stuff you should check it out
