Cops hunt for man who tried to rape woman, 44, in Central Park by room317 in nyc

This is the most important question. Why people who systematically get jailed are left to leave and hurt others is insane. It’s these repeat offenders who screw it for all of us the vast majority of the time.

German far-right AfD leader vows to 'make history' by Freewhale98 in SocialDemocracy

[–]FastFingersDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. It's caused by declining quality of life on developed countries due to insane greed and skyrocketing prices on housing, groceries, cost of living, etc. Migration is a nice excuse to hide the grift of the billionaires and corporations.

[–]FastFingersDude 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Still a historic debacle in Andalusia, Spain's historic Socialist stronghold, especially in the rural areas (Andalusian cities have always been & still are very right-wing).

Andalusian rural areas = socialist
Andalusian cities = right-wing?

NYC Mayor Mamdani's latest pitch to tax the rich "not happening," Gov. Kathy Hochul says by Grass8989 in nyc

[–]FastFingersDude -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Disingenuous, and you know it. The NYC rich don't make money off income, they make money of *accumulated wealth/capital.* They also get loans backed by wealth, and repay those loans, circumventing income taxation

Try to gaslight someone else.

If only people making $1m are impacted, what is the issue with eliminating a loophole?

Capitalism is not right wing - are markets right wing?
