Chronicling a body of evidence demonstrating that the U.S. government is horrifyingly tyrannical at almost every level, and authoritarianism, cronyism and corruption have poisoned almost every aspect of American life. We show the very real need for Americans to follow through on the Founding Fathers' instructions to overthrow their government and the evil corporations that control it.

If you find a news article or dumb corporate bigot on Twitter that has said or done something so egregious that it made you wonder why Americans don't band together and do something about those motherfuckers, it belongs here.

Printers were enshittified a decade ago. They really set the standard.

Printers have been sucking for much longer than just a decade, unfortunately. That was just when you noticed.

They're just full of clichés and stereotypes, what can you expect?

The nice thing about Lexmark printers back in the day. Is you just bought another printer they were so cheap

Ya I've owned a few of them and had constant battles with them nearly every time I wanted to print something. Then I went and got a brother printer. That one has been serving me and my kids well for 13 years now with minimal fuss despite being used constantly. (It did quit once but all I had to do was reset the print counter about 4ish years ago, which looking online maxes at 15,000 prints?)

Now that Brother is starting to pull shenanigans I'm not sure what I'm going to do when it inevitably dies.

you can still buy simple USB connected monochrome laser printers brand new, just like you could 10 years ago. HP has tricked many people into buying their shitty products but you don't have to

Keep buying those Brothers.
