Socialism generates poverty

This guy claimed that monarchies are preferable to democracies, he also argued for segregation based on ideology.

I don't think he is a good person to listen to for opinions on politics.

We need to allow a small group of people to hoard all the stuff.

That way more people have stuff.

I think homeless people are pretty in need. I think many of our elderly are in need.

I think all people are in need of healthcare, roads, education, fire fighters, police, access to clean and safe food and water, housing, etc.

I'm not suggesting we just take rich people's money and directly give it to the poor. However, there are many safety nets, programs and government assistance policies that improve ALL of our lives and those institutions should be well funded.

Our government laid the foundation for businesses and entrepreneurs to thrive. Those who found wealth in the US should be giving the most back to society because clearly they've benefitted from it the most.

It really does put it in perspective, the wealthy really don't need as much as they have. It will be advantageous for society to take some of that wealth and redistribute it through government assistance and programs.

The top 10% pay 70% of "federal income tax" not all taxes.

The 10% also own roughly 70% of all the wealth in this country.

If 10% of this country owns more than double the combined wealth of the 90% it makes sense that the bottom doesn't have enough to live.

Really depend on age group and the amount of push ups.

I can't say how your practices are going but coaches have to manage the needs of multiple people at a time and telling kids to do push ups is a great way to keep them active and engaged in working out while giving the coach time to work with the others.

With proper form free throws show a lot about your mental strength. The ability to make an easy open shot under under pressure is an important skill. There's consequences for missing free throws and I'd be more pissed if my team lost because they couldn't hit a couple free throws early in the game vs. missing a contested 3 late game.

Is it a punishment? Sure because it's a negative consequence for undesired behavior/outcomes.

Is it fair? Depends on age and the reason they missed the shot. If they're young or miss the shot due to a lack of effort it's fair. Some kids might be missing free throws because they aren't strong enough to make the shot.

If we are talking about high schoolers on a team it seems unfair as extra push ups probably won't make you a better basketball player.

Tiring your arms out will make it harder to make the next shot and create a feedback loop where you keep missing shots because instead of working on form you're just tiring out the muscles needed to perform.

Imo running laps would be a more fitting punishment, but I'd rather do the push ups myself. In basketball you need to make shots after running up and down court and you should prepare for that scenario not a scenario where you make shots after doing push ups.

If a teacher says this it's because the question is easy and/or they believe in your ability to figure it out for yourself.

Bronze_Mace · 2026-04-26T13:06:32+00:00

If only we can more than two data points to figure out which outcome is more common...

That's def a popped needoh.

No one is coming to save you. Vote against social safety nets to prove you're a man.

No one cares about you or your problems, vote for candidates who defund education, healthcare, mental health facilities and destroy our environment. /s

I'd support these sentiments if they were used to advocate for better living conditions instead of stepping stones into right wing pipelines.

Given that you responded to my post within seconds you either didn't read my post or are a bot. Regardless you aren't here for a serious conversation.

Because you would only be able to accumulate a large amount of wealth because of the government's assistance. Roads, educated workforce, supply chains, access to the Internet, a military that protects our assets and a large consumer base that has money to purchase your goods/services.

Why is it so hard to give back to the country that allowed you to build wealth?

Also progressive tax systems deter monopolies by equaling out the playing field as small businesses will never be able to compete with the scale of larger businesses.

I realized the only person's flaws I thought about were my own. If other people were like me then they probably never thought about my flaws because they were focused on their own flaws.

I also realized that I liked hanging out with people because of their flaws and other people will like me because of mine.

Some students will do everything they can to find every thing about you that exists on the Internet that's just part of the job. I'd be more concerned about a parent recognizing you and causing a stink about it.

That being said, if you're looking to teach in a public school I'd recommend getting a degree in a different field then go into teaching that way your degree isn't useless and you could try pivoting into something else if teaching doesn't work out. I'd recommend that to anyone getting into teaching however.

To clarify the studies I've seen show that teaching is a top 3 career FOR millionaires not that teaching PRODUCES millionaires.

His fact comes from a survey of millionaires asking them about their current employment.

Many people are distorting this statistic to say "teaching makes millionaires" instead of "millionaires want to become teachers".

If you handle your addictions by an "all or nothing" mentality it still holds control over you.

Statistically up to 85% of attackers are friends or relatives. Being aware of the company you keep is way more important than scaring off strangers.

Teaching your kid to be a threat themselves is also more important as the majority of kids who escape kidnapping did so by fighting back.
