Disappointment

Dark Mode for Firefox is decent.

It did break the Dropbox website for me though. Had to disable the extension to get the website to work.

Well, not me, but some family members left during the Pinochet years (I’m Chilean). I have a Venezuelan friend living in Madrid who left during Chavez too, and know a few other cases.

The thing about dictatorships is that they can come in any flavor.

I can understand your frustration and I’m sorry you’re going through this.

I’ve seen my country fall apart too and it ain’t no picnic. Reason why my answer is what it was.

I believe I was asked what I personally would do and USA was never mentioned.

I wouldn’t. I’d just move somewhere else.

Why? Because whatever I do to attempt to stop the transition will be much less effective on obtaining quality of life improvements for myself and my loved ones than moving somewhere else. And that’s not even going into the risks of attempting to get between a potential dictator and their power.

Votes are individually irrelevant. Protests are ignored, even if massive. Opinions and relevant facts to change opinions are lost in a sea of extremely well funded narrative-affirming propaganda. Civil disobedience will get you nothing but legal trouble. Strikes are broken.

Let’s be real. There is nothing that can be done, realistically, as an individual without an extraordinary amount of political capital, money or military influence.

Anything short of a huge chunk of the armed forces organizing an armed coup is completely irrelevant.

The only realistic solution is jumping ship.

Is this a legitimate question or just an oddly specific peeve in question format?

Whenever i face difficult circumstances or uncomfortable feelings, meditation seems to help.

Done!

Sounds reasonable for prime shamanic services.

I think you might mean shaman

Thank you. This is going to replace my previous version in my memes folder.

Thank you for sharing and I’m sorry you’ve been having to go through all of that.

I hope whatever you’ve found or find, it helps.

That’s what I’ve found too.

That’s why I started with “if”. It’s not the case here in Chile.

Holy shit!!

I love you. <3

Orthodox economic thought suggests that in the labor market, whenever wages increase without anything changing in the underlying supply and demand, employment would fall… I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve never been big on religion so I suggest taking that with a grain of salt.

Regardless of your conclusions and what you make of the orthodox argument, it is important to consider the total cost and aggregate risk of a company of hiring a woman vs a man or other genders. If, for example, regulation establishes that women have the right to a different amount of postnatal days off than men, that would be risks that companies would take into account at the moment of deciding who to hire.
