Yawn. I’m still trying to figure out if I even want to bother with voting.

I know lefties who are enraged about the actions of the too-big-to-fail banks, but won’t be bothered with the tediousness of moving their money out of Wells Fargo or B of A. If politically minded people can’t even be bothered with something like that, then I have to wonder if it’s worth all the spilled [...]

I’m not sure large protests really matter. The most effective protest is large numbers of protesters (only relevant to US politics and power insofar as they’re consumers) attacking corporate brands.

The Left has no money, no decent press, and it almost always has to advocate more complex and nuanced political positions. As far as leadership is concerned, stating that it’s time for the younger generation to [...]

I’m all for a revolution in the US. I just don’t want a violent one. There are ways to overthrow corporate power and two party tyranny that don’t require any kind of aggressive or violent action. They simply require coordination and a general consensus from people who believe in the revolt to strictly adhere to [...]

Yep, it’s nice to support a store that treats its workers decently. Costco, last I heard, was also a decent employer and I’m a fan of them also.

I like their cheese too. I also like a lot of their frozen food also. I’m not crazy about a lot of their sweet stuff, though. Seems hit and miss to me.

I think Trader Joe’s is for the most part good, but they’re also fairly cheap. It’s the cheap part that brings me back, but I know that their suppliers are often the same people making crap for Safeway.

Actually tomorrow I have to write a statement of purpose and do some studying, so it’s really the front end of day of procrastination and panic.

I’m about the same, but I have a day off tomorrow so I’m taking a breather. So I guess I’m on the front end of a nice day off and that’s good.
