Idk about TROLL necessarily, I’d bet it’s more to make the account look like there is a person behind it for when it pops out to make very opinionated arguments about something.

I got the “reference” but it’s pretty evident the content of their replies aren’t cogent beyond some context prodding.

Plant milkweed. They’ll find it.

There are a couple monarch mimics that will also come to them (which is cool because they mimic each other to make their poison more effective, instead of pretending to be poisonous).

Lmao you’re a bot

Ok but the problem in this analogy is that collectively we were all pouring bleach into the aquarium, the fix is to collectively stop.

It won’t happen immediately and it won’t go back to where it was for a long time.

Yes there are larger factors at play but this is one of those scenarios where your local action has an actual impact that is noticeable.

You’re not wrong that you alone won’t solve it and the best you can do alone won’t fix it, but doing what you’re doing is closer to not adding your bleach to the fish tank but instead letting it have some water.

The bees and Monarch butterflies and Hummingbirds know where I live, which is about the best I can do locally.

Ok but part of this is because of what we were doing back then, so it isn’t quite the same. Yes there are larger things at play BUT these things you do locally on your 3.5 acres can have a huge impact.

You’re missing the point of what I said and what I posited to the person who responded to me.

I don’t live in either of those areas.

The fact that I’m being picked apart because I’m trying to give some insight as to how “people who make more than you do could be in trouble” because of the government shutdown.

I guess fuck all of those people that I’m advocating for?

Hey my dude I’m not going to answer your trove of questions trying to poke holes in my reality.

Take care of yourself.

I’m lumping the contractors who work adjacent to the gov employees as the same group tbh because I’m seeing them laid off in droves too.

Shutdown means no contract extensions means employees just aren’t there anymore instead of laid off. It’s another method of hurting his opponents.

My salary is below the median where I live.

Could your salaries work in New York City or San Francisco?

I work for my money and use most all of it for the survival of my family. I’m not saving vast quantities and I’m not the problem.

My 5x the USA median salary isn’t the problem. The fact that the median salary is 5x less than mine IS the problem.

I don’t take 16k home a month.

I have a family.

I live in a high cost of living area.

I live below the median income for my area.

You’re just out of touch with my circumstances in the same way I’m out of touch with the circumstances of workers who make minimum wage and similarly struggle.

The point is that I’m made to be the enemy of middle America workers because of this notion that my larger salary makes me a cry baby bitch when in reality it’s the folks who are taking all the money from us who are the cry baby bitches.

Thank you for proving my point

When a 6 figure income has people living pay check to paycheck and that same paycheck would make others live comfy you have a problem.

We have been pitted against each other.

My salary is around 200k and to much of America I’d be considered a crybaby bitch saying how I live paycheck to paycheck and the shutdown might break me.

My plight is closer to the plight of the underemployed worker in middle America who makes a quarter what I make working as many hours or more, their boss can up and fuck them over too on a whim.

If we want the workers in middle America who don’t make near as much as the govt workers or workers on the coasts / in cities do then we have to go out of our way to lift them up too.

Anyways. This shutdown is bullshit and I know of at least 4 projects that have already cost the government in excess of 2 million dollars that are just going to die because the funding is gone and the facility is closed and the product can’t be delivered. Everyone is being laid off, all the knowledge going away.

which also implies the opposite genetic cross would be a buttmoth
