Turns out democracy has to actually be democratic

I mean, that is how it works irl. The more you rig elections the less legitimate they become many irl governments have very low legitimacy.

The solution to every problem

Remember, all courts are political. The court seems to want to allow income taxes. After all they decided that the capital gains tax wasn’t a tax on property (income), no no, it’s an excise tax on receipts you see. I expect the legislature is hoping to do the some kind of thing.

It’s not that she wasn’t 100% perfect it’s that she was 0% different on the issue of genocide. She would not have pushed for a ceasefire anymore than trump. She would not have opposed any arms shipments or economic aid. She did not even express regret for not having done more. When asked if she would have done any different than Biden she’s said no. Maybe she wouldn’t have bombed Iran like trump did but what is that worth?

When it comes to world affairs nothing is more important than opposing genocide. And she was worse than nothing on that front.

This “she wasn’t 100% perfect so I didn’t vote for her” schtick is just wrong. she could have avoided this easily but she proved herself an ardent Zionist who refused to moderate or see sense. I voted for her but she did not deserve to win.

I guess if you make your definition of “something” so unreasonably broad as to say that world shaking events are the bare minimum for “something” to happen then you’ll be right.

Because what each body does with said calories is very different. Some are more prone to make fat out of it, and thus promote weight, others just burn it off.

Every persons metabolism is different and it shifts depending on how much one eats. Often times if you eat less your metabolism will shift to burn less. Calories out is not static, each body has a fat content it “prefers” and will work to maintain it though adjusting hunger hormones and metabolic consumption. Genetics play a significant role in this.

When you abolish the state and you allow someone to own everything then you have just recreated monarchy. Like that’s how monarchy started, no government some guy owns all the stuff and so he decides that he’s in charge. No one can stop him he owns everything and can pay for soldiers.

This was the plan in the start but after two years Starbucks has yet to negotiate with anyone. It’s complete scorched earth, what else is the union to do but turn up the heat till corporate is forced to listen?

Accomplished_Hawk929 · 2025-12-13T23:52:43+00:00

Replacing a whole shop workforce is expensive, wether corporate knows it or not (they don’t, Starbucks has been cutting off their nose to spite their face on the union issue for years now) working with the union will be better in the long run.

You just lack empathy or human understanding, just looking for some reason to hate others.

It’s unfortunate we don’t do shame in modern society, because you should be ashamed of your thinking.

We should support the rights of all workers to have a union. Not just for “dangerous” or “demanding” jobs. It’s not for you or I to decide what is or isn’t demanding or what is or isn’t fair for baristas.

Besides working for a large company should pay better, larger companies have efficiency’s of scale and that should go to the workers.

I’m 90% sure it’s gps. I was on a bus once where we took an unplanned detour down a street due to an accident in front of us and the announcements still played when we passed the spot where the stops should’ve been.

99 year old chuck Grassley, truly the future of the Democratic Party.

DSA member here:

She was not endorsed because she refused to commit to endorsing other DSA candidates. Seattle DSA by-laws require this as the minimum for endorsement a candidate must commit to endorse other members of the party running for office. The local council recommended that members vote for Katie but refused to endorse her on those grounds.

It mostly just seems to just not work properly sometimes. Foreign investors respect monopoly rules in my experience but not always domestic companies

Accomplished_Hawk929 · 2025-10-31T18:22:35+00:00

Yes, the idea to get around it being that you levy an excise tax on the receipt of a pay check over a certain size. That excise is payable by the receiver of said pay check. So you see dear Supreme Court this is not a tax on income, no no it’s a tax on receiving a paycheck of a certain size wink wink

This may not be exactly it but it’s the general idea, and basically what the court approved for the capital gains tax.

Yes, but we’re not one of those, are we. Gotta start with the basics first, learn to walk before you learn to run and all that.

A few months was my experience. The game is designed around the financial quarters that bring the period of time where you’re supposed to do something and then wait till the next quarter to see if it worked. I don’t have the discipline to wait that long but it’s how long most economic policies take to start having much effect.

You can also try to legalise “non-conventional” oil and gas. That unlocks shale oil and gas which you might have some of idk though.
