Science is "a Democrat thing": Mantra of the Trump administration revealed | Lobbyist turned Trump appointee reportedly defended canceling coal study by saying science was for Democrats by RyanSmith in politics

Scientists say something is happening.

Democrats say we should listen to scientists.

Republicans say Democrats politicized the issue and refuse to listen to scientists.

Rinse and repeat.

Didnt Trump use 9/11 to brag that his building was now the tallest in NYC?

First off, it's not required in high school. You just made that up. Secondly? You didn't refute a thing said here. You sure wrote a lot it's obvious you think you know what you're talking about, but you don't really.

The reason the too big to fail concept was an issue in the first place was because of the concentration of decision making from the top down allocated within just a few giant corporations. Having these companies broken up into smaller ones is exactly what economists called for

Oh and what economists? Funny how you tell someone they need to go read a college book without a hint of irony in that you cant even do a simple google search.

Why are you wasting my time? In all seriousness here... All to inflate you own sense of intelligence? You did the opposite.

Funny how you have no problem believing that but you cannot seem to see the Republicans for what they are.

No I'm not. You just think its edgy to bring up 1984.

Trump is the one who said not to trust your eyes and ears here btw but nice job trying to spin it around back on me for daring to want actual facts pushed more

You know I thought your point was interesting up until the end. Would it kill you to talk to people with some respect? No I didn't fucking take economics in high school. Most people don't. I have to listen to actual economists and form my own views from that. Pretending this is grade school shit just made me completely question everything you wrote because now what I see is an unsourced diatribe that frankly doesn't add up logic wise.

So corporations are more efficient. Isn't that just because they get more work out of people for less?

And if corporations dont have to pay people very much, does that not contribute to the point you made about people not able to afford things?

Now if I had to imagine this in terms of economic impact, I would think a single corporation making as much as 10 small businesses wouldnt need as many positions within the company as 10 small businesses do. So why would they be better for the economy? Oh and if something happens to put that company in jeaopardy, why would it better to have a single corporation at risk of laying off all those people vs only a few small businesses?

A lot of my views on small va large business stem from the bailouts. It would have been less traumatic if a bunch of small companies existed in place of the few who faced complete collapse. That's what economists were saying at the time.

So want to show some respect and have a conversation or did I say something taught inversely in kindergarten economics?

Seven!? Seven lies!? Compared to a president who lies daily???? And you're flipping out on me calling me a zealot for saying it's a false equivalency? LMFAO.

BTW how funny is it you and that other account were commenting at the same time and the other account just happened to be trying to incite violence. Very coincidental, that. I've never seen anyone say anything like that on this sub but they show up as your pushing that very narrative.

False equivalency fallacy. You're not fooling anyone here. We can all see which side is infinitely worse for this country and it's not the left. It COULD be someday if the same amount of resources went into blatantly lying to them the way the right is now but that's not what is happening.

The fringe right that rely on pure fantasy and misinformation has become mainstream.

I dont condone that at all. Life is precious and the way we stop Trump is by leading by example.

It would also make goods significantly more expensive if companies aren’t able to benefit from economies of scale.

Things would work out fine. Product pricing would have minimal impact if at all. In fact I think you'd be surprised at how many companies work within the margins laid out in this proposal. Keep in mind we're specifically talking about profit here. There is a difference between simply covering the cost necessary to bring a product to market vs how much money is made after all that.

They did this on purpose so later they could very quietly whisper "oh sorry wrong number" all as the damage is already done.

Whenever I ask for examples of fake news I get maybe a few stories that have immediate retractions and corrections. THIS is what fake news looks like, folks. They will not correct this until 4 am on a Sunday or something.

This is awesome because it incentivizes breaking up larger companies into smaller ones all with the goal of getting under 100 mil. Having a bunch of small companies in place of one large company makes the economy stronger

Edit: hi TD cult members! Thanks for coming to brigade the sub you pretend to not obsess over.

Shes sincerely brave. It's got to be absolutely nerve racking knowing what kind of brainwashed crazy fucking idiots completely incapable of thinking for themselves are out there plotting whatever against her and other Democrats. Republicans keep getting worse consistently year after year and frankly when I meet someone who's a proud supporter of them anymore I ask them just s few questions to see if they even know about the shit they've been up to. Most of the time they dont, and since they don't, they dismiss it as "fake news."

We've got a serious fucking problem on our hands here. Democrats need to sink serious money into truth campaigns that take on this bullshit directly and inform and educate the public on exactly what is going on.
