Child labor.
Despite progress, child labour still affects nearly 138 million children worldwide

Affects is such a strange way to put it. Like, “they caught a case of child labor.”
Tips. How ridiculous is it that restaurant owners guilt us into paying their employees salaries because they are too cheap to pay them a living wage? How unjust is it that we chose to tip the people who bring our food from the kitchen to our table and leave the hundreds of other service workers without tips?
A better understanding will flow from knowing that federal minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13 per hour.
So there is specific legislation in place to abuse restaurant workers, restaurant owners take full advantage of this.
Here, the minimum wage for servers is $17.20, same as any other worker.
It is the same in Canada. However, there are still special provisions that 2nd class the labor rights of restaurant employees.
In the USA: complicated tax returns that require tax software and/or professional help. It’s a rent-seeking scam.
Thank the fucking tax software lobbies for that. Assholes
Charlie Kirk
On that note, Ben Shapiro as well.
Andrew Tate, though that may be dangerous as he’ll probably turn into a martyr.
There’s a good list forming here.
You know, I actually don’t think it’ll be a good idea to kill people who are only powerful because they can talk. The more I think about it, the more I think they’ll be turned into martyrs by their followers. It’ll only embolden them.
So, something that really upsets the world in a tangible way would be…
Shooting more CEOs. And bankers.
😬🫥
I would be inclined to believe you, looking at these protests and manifestations that happened in London after the Kirk shooting. Scary works right now.
I still want to believe we live in a world where there are more welcoming people than there are hostile people. Otherwise the world is truly lost.

Private health insurance.
Racism, but here we are in 2025 it being more prevalent than ever.
Racism will never die as we evolved to be tribal. Best we can do as a society is make it unacceptable. Which was happening when I grew up in 70s/80s America. Now we’ve backtracked and gone all-in with dog whistles.
That’s not true. Sure, we have tribalism, but there’s no reason it has to be about race. It could be about religion, politics, country of origin, and countless other things
Dog whistles? It’s open now.
Billionaires, government officials owning stock, private campaign finance, the two party system, racism, sexism, health insurance, private equity, for profit prisons, for life Supreme Court appointments, Nazis, Zionism, Wall Street, unregulated banking,jobs that don’t pay a living wage, unaffordable housing, student debt, the police state and lobbyists
Religion.
It served a purpose when societies were first moving from hunting and gathering to agriculture. A community needed to coalesce around something tangible for resource sharing, protection, decision making, etc…
It’s why, from a societal evolution perspective, we went from totemic religions based on fertility and family groups, to mass religions with defined hierachies and roles, because the evolution or religions reflect that evolutions of society at the time.
We don’t need that anymore. It does more harm than good in the modern world.

I thought phone numbers and traditional telephone service would be dead by now. Instead, purely internet-based communication services often use them as an identifier.
Measles
Polio.
Kinda surprised we eradicated smallpox, yet polio still exists.
It’s only a handful of people in the mountains of Afghanistan; there’s a lot of fear around letting westerners in with needles.
Don’t worry, the anti-vaxxers are going to give it a comeback.
Blockchain. It was an interesting poc, but it has yet to have a useful implementation apart from scams.
Tamper evident logs are a good use case for blockchain.
Coal power plants.
