Didn’t tump say that he was referring to the early 1900s when asked what he was referring to? Ya know the time period known as the gilded age that was rife with robber barons and no labor laws. The period which took wealth inequality to the max resulting in the great depression…
Maga has no clue what actually made America great…
This was suppose to be the one thing he didn’t fail at. His real-estate business is the one that he didn’t bankrupt. I would say now, it is definitive that its only still going because of fraud. He can’t even maintain a pool…
What a completely worthless human…
I’ll never understand how these people got popular… from what I can tell they just sit in front of a camera and scroll some feed and talk about random stuff without any actual expertise or credible information. How is that entertaining? Why would people choose to watch that over shows that have interviews with actual experts and are much more informative.
Its been a long time since I’ve seen the movie but I always thought he was an anarchist who just wanted to burn everything to the ground.
So I’ve already bought the Witcher 3 complete edition, will this expansion be included when it comes out?
How? Wouldn’t they have to go through a voter registration process that requires a voter id and ss#, and who casts the vote? The CEO or someone selected from the board?.. and couldn’t some rich asshole just start a whole bunch of corporations to give themselves as many votes as they want? This blatantly goes against the one person one vote principle.
Everyone’s already complaining about things costing too much, but I’m sure it’ll pass anyway…
The choice is between sales tax or property tax. Different counties and states can have different policies regarding that. What it comes down to is who should be paying more in taxes given the overall amount collected stays the same. If you put more emphasis on sales tax, then more of the tax burden is put on people with less wealth who don’t own properties. If you put more emphasis on property tax, then more of the tax burden is on wealthier people who do own properties. So the question is who should have a bigger tax burden, rich or poor?
Sascha Riley. Haven’t read much about it yet to know how credible it is, but he was in the military and got called in to talk to superiors when some other soldier got caught with cp and one of the pictures was Riley when he was a kid.
As someone who also doesn’t fully understand quantum entanglement… is it that when two particles are entangled and far apart, when we observe them they will always be in the same state? Is there any way to manipulate that state? If so, it seems like it would be pretty straight forward to use it for faster than light communications.
I had a thought the other day that I’m not nearly financially literate enough to know how true it is, but with all the talk about stocks going up, couldn’t that be an effect of the dollar going down?
I will say that I don’t live in the UK, so maybe it works differently. I’m assuming internet plans include some kind of service contract you have to sign, and minors can’t legally sign contracts without parental consent. So every internet connection is the responsibility of the adult who did sign it. If kids are going to be using it then it is their responsibility to put parental controls on their network and devices.
But like the other response said, its not actually about protecting kids. Basically, if a politician ever says those words, its almost certainly an attempt to take away freedom.
What happened to the assumtion that people on the internet are all adults. No kid is signing a contract for a phone or internet plan. They are on the internet through the permission of an adult who has. Its the responsibility of that adult to make sure they don’t do anything they shouldn’t. Don’t make it other people’s problem that you can’t control your kids. We shouldn’t try to kid-proof the world.
I understand. Skilled trade is still a job that one needs to find in order to get paid. You either need to go to trade school then find a job or find someone to take on an apprentice and learn on the job.
Those jobs might pay well after a while, but what I wouldn’t like is the reason those jobs pay well is usually because they require a lot of overtime. So yes you might be able to buy a house, but you won’t get to spend as much time actually living in it.
The trade-off is that finding a job that doesn’t require the large debt that comes with college means the job might not pay enough for a house, or if it does, its the kind of job where you don’t get much time to actually spend at said house.
The anti-war statement is directed at the psychopaths doing the bombing. Showing them how people are suffering after being bombed doesn’t affect them. Its an attempt to show them how they might regret their own decisions. At the very least it might chip away at the people who support them.
The people who make movies about depressed soldiers are usually trying to make an anti-war statement. American is not homogenous. There are people who bomb without remorse and people who try to point that we shouldn’t do that. Bombing without remorse is not something that can only be tied to one country. It can be tied to psychopaths of which quite a few have weaseled their way into power.
I think I agree with you, but your messaging could use some work. I feel like most people who aren’t already in the same groups as you might struggle with the terms you use. It might be simpler to say “capitalism corrupts democracy” because my original read of the post made it seem like its anti democracy.
I struggle to find the points in your posts. Yes capitalism has a great many problems. I agree about doing something about it, but are you also suggesting democracy is bad?
We’ve all been sold on what life is “supposed” to look like. Go to school, get married, start a career, have kids… not enough people question if that’s really what they want. Life can be whatever you want it to be. Those things aren’t required, and if that’s not the life you actually want, then all those things will do is tie you down.
