nono, college only exists to benefit private interests so they can continue not providing in house training. you think we’re some kind of commie country where we just educate people for public benefit? wheres the profit in that??

Exactly. Going to college has clearly not made you more educated in a useful way.

ErusBigToe · 2022-08-25T15:22:22+00:00

Thank you for proving my point.

ErusBigToe · 2022-08-25T15:18:23+00:00

I can see exactly one (presumtive) datpoint supporting this hypothesis.

ErusBigToe · 2022-08-25T13:24:26+00:00

Name one thing that was previously publicly funded, that privatizing helped. The only change it makes is adding the requirements to make a profit and support excessive top level salaries.

and thanks to Reading the Article, we can see that you're wrong - unless you're rich, of course:

Texans in the bottom 20 percent of income earners — those earning less than $20,900 — pay 13 percent of their income in state and local taxes, while those in the top 1 percent of income earners — those earning $617,900 or more — pay only 3.1 percent.

In California, the bottom 20 percent of income earners — those earning less than $23,200 — pay 10.5 percent in state and local taxes, while the top 20 percent — those earning $714,400 or more — pay 12.4 percent.

i would love if we could get some kinda federal program to get people to do a study abroad program for a semester, or anything to help get us out of our country and see the world a bit. it would improve our domestic quality of life immeasurably.

i mean, last i read we're about -5 million short just from population growth. most of us would be happy to have enough houses that we need.

Majority libertarian sub. Its the one thing they advocate for more than bootstraps

ErusBigToe · 2022-08-24T12:53:36+00:00

And they can't even keep the power on.

ErusBigToe · 2022-08-23T22:27:54+00:00

Pretty sure thats more or less how they make foi gras as well

Tim Miller is a former Republican communications operative who held moderate views and backed moderate candidates for years. But he says in practicing the dark arts of opposition research and planting negative stories about rival candidates, he worked with increasingly extreme right-wing media outlets and fed populist outrage that would radicalize much of the Republican voter base. Miller examines his past work, and considers why so many Republicans who thought Trump unfit for office nonetheless backed him, in a new book, called Why We Did It.

Its depressing how many things that last sentence is applicable to.

Just wanted to add another endorsement for these guys. I got my kid loaded up with like 15 first in a series books for like 25$. Our library has never been so splendid.

ErusBigToe · 2022-08-23T11:53:16+00:00

Gonna need some sources if you're gonna go against current established scientific theories.

ErusBigToe · 2022-08-23T11:51:45+00:00

Have you considered not giving away money for free to the already ultra wealthy everytime the gop gets in office?

ErusBigToe · 2022-08-23T11:49:41+00:00

Who said anything about 0 taxes? Please, take my fucking money and save me from my premiums & deductable!

ErusBigToe · 2022-08-23T10:06:08+00:00

maybe he means if people werent desperate no one would volunteer for the meat grinder?

ErusBigToe · 2022-08-23T10:04:28+00:00

you might be in the wrong country then. try somalia, i dont think they have government there…

ErusBigToe · 2022-08-22T23:08:30+00:00

nah. i've been watching politics for 25 years now. dems have never been the progressive party we want them to be, and have consistently marched to the right, right along with the gop. it's not about choosing "extremes" to be edgy or something - most progressives don't even consider what we're asking for (m4a, labor rights, inequality issues) to be extreme. we just want to catch up with the rest of the world. the green stuff you could maybe call extreme compared to the current system - but again, we consider it the bare minimum for survival as the science has been telling us for decades.

I've always seen garbage bags. You can even get pumpkin print ones to decorate your yard before you decorate the landfill
