He’s not playing today.
My mom drove my brother and I in a factory converted camper, 67 ford econoline over 3 extended summers to about 40 states. It was a different time and culture that is totally unrecognizable today.
I stopped going in the 90’s when I drove to Florida for the umpteenth time since late 70’s and in almost every major city I went through had couches, garbage and a whole bunch of other detritus all over the highways. Just trying to enlighten others.
History shows that when shit gets that bad that physical encounters are pretty much the only solution. The alternative is to live under fascist rule.
I always think of this line from the Talking Heads which seem to be appropriate for these times.
“ Patience is a virtue, but I don’t have the time”.
I agree. Both liberal and conservative suck. Canadians need to decide whether they want to help the disabled or not. Do not leave us hanging. We are a family of 3 permanently disabled people. Live in Ontario.
Ford is a soulless excuse for a human being for what he is doing to thousand of young/adult disabled people. It is a page right out of the fascist handbook.
Ford has literally gutted ODSP and his abhorrent handling of the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) is disgraceful and hurtful.
They combined Ontario works and ODSP. One noticed immediately a difference. The workers treated ODSP recipients like they were Ontario works recipients. They sent out job search forms, etc. to people that were permanently disabled and incapable of working and humiliating them (ask most disabled people, they will say one of their dreams is to actually go out and work so to have these forms sent to them is literally a slap in the face) because these workers were never trained on how to deal with the disabled only people that were unemployed.
We can no longer email our local ODSP office anymore, no more one on one workers, you are tossed into a pool and they rarely call back if ever.
We had to actually get a lawyer involved just to contact the ODSP office to get anything done after 6 months of us calling with no call back in that 6 months. Things ODSP used to cover, gone.
Our child has autism and epilepsy. He has never ever had any form official therapy, guidance of any kind due to Doug Ford and gang. We were “approved” for OAP and SSAH almost 3 years ago but are still on the waiting list to actually get funding. Our case is not unique, there are literally 1000’s of Autistic kids/adults that are not getting ANY therapy that they need to exist and communicate in society. This will lead to more violent altercations with police due to limited communication skills due to lack of therapy and more hospital visits plus more that will by carried by taxpayers down the road for years if not decades. Guess Ford does not care about down the road while he and his gang fill their pockets.
We ar very grateful for all that we receive. We do not expect anything. The Ford government promised OAP, SSAH and more but have not held true to that promise. Doug Ford is truly despicable for not helping thousands of his fellow Canadians that are disabled kids and adults and leaving them in the lurch.
Yup, this was floating around in Canadian subreddits
I thought the body was made from stainless steel. Maybe that ruts in the ocean too?
Not even the body shell is not any good?
Strip out the bad stuff and drop them in the ocean and they can become reefs for fishies and their buddies?
I am not an american. All I know is if citizens just keep doing nothing the us will become just like the fascists in Germany did in WWII. It is up to them to do something or nothing. Time will tell.
Americans will just get mad post on Reddit and then go back to watching YouTube, Twitch in the hovel of their choice until ice comes for them and they will say no no not me you said it was the “others”. They are not watching the news. Bills to make furries the bad guys. Bills to make 2SLGBTQIA+ bad guys. Starting to grumble(by grumble I mean “we need to outlaw this stuff” talk) about what should and should not be on Twitch and other platforms. Grumbling about gamers and certain games. The list of buried stuff in the bills that are coming out is staggering.

First they came for the Communists
\
And I did not speak out
\
Because I was not a Communist
\
Then they came for the Socialists
\
And I did not speak out
\
Because I was not a Socialist
\
Then they came for the trade unionists
\
And I did not speak out
\
Because I was not a trade unionist
\
Then they came for the Jews
\
And I did not speak out
\
Because I was not a Jew
\
Then they came for me
\
And there was no one left
\
To speak out for me
Just do not under any circumstances go to the Insurify website and use them. They have been sending me quotes nonstop for all sorts of things for over a year now and I can’t get rid of them. No amount of this is junk mail or reporting or anything like that. It just comes from another server on and on and on.
Yup that was the life for both my brothers (born in 1945 and 1950, me in 57). They kicked it just in time that is for sure.
When Reddit went public it was scooped up by hedgies and other nefarious actors. Slowly but surely it is changing for the worse. I just got booted from Reddit on a 9 year account (as an added bonus they nuked my other 2 accounts as well even though no posts near time of nukage) for pretty tame (compared to other stuff I have seen) stuff. I predict that Reddit will be indistinguishable from truth social within 5 years or less.
