All that 50’s “advertising” that was essentially social conditioning and oppression, hear me out, because all the women had to do all the jobs while the men were gone. They got a taste of freedom, their own money and skills. They were all like, how hard can it be, boys do it. But when the men came back they had to shove them back in the box, they had to effectively put the cat back in the bag, it required a huge effort of bullying from the government and all. Like they hit hard with this kinda pervasive stuff, everywhere. That’s when women were forced into the “get in the kitchen” role. Now we get to have both! Work AND be predominantly responsible for the majority of the house labor and child raising, yay!

LavaPlanet@lemm.eeto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•UnitedHealthcare sued by shareholders over reaction to CEO's killingEnglish3·26 days agoYes, but you’re leaving out the bit where the ceos are just as shitty a person / people, morally, as the board you talk about. They aren’t forced, they go along and agree. They hire people who align with their interests, aka agree with the shitty things they’re willing to do. It’s not like they’re some poor hard done by millionaire / billionaire who’s forced to do bad things to survive. They could also leave at any time and they wouldn’t suffer financially for doing so. They’re not being forced to do anything. They agree with their own decisions. Don’t fool yourself that they have morals, money to that degree turns your morals off entirely, if you ever had them.
It’s not that we expect them to be progressive, it’s actually that we expect them to stick to the teachings of the Bible, THATS the progressive but, because all the right wing crazies are, supposedly religious and they purport religion to give reason to their crazy shit. So when the top religious guy goes, nope, at them, it breaks all their coercive manipulations to excuse their evil bullshit AND bonus icing, it labels it evil for all to see. We want more. I’m not even religious, or American, and I’m invested.
This is what I’m waiting to find out, what’s his vibe. This is nice to hear.
I think they’re just setting up a defense for all the illegal activity, so when they investigate, they’ve got a get out of jail free, card. Not that he would go to jail with the amount of money he has.
