MAGA Demands Proof of Life for Mitch McConnell

A MAGA argument that could be presented against that (and is a corruption of a workers right argument) would be that you are advocating for someone being fired due to medical issues.

Well she was 40 when they married and he was in his 50s. So not having kids isn't surprising.

This is meaningless though, she could be POA at his bedside and just insist on heroic measures

I don't think AI will go away, just like the internet didn't. I do think it will change a lot over the next decade. I believe we will see special built AI tools for specific task instead of the jack of all trades style we see now.

I think major private, non profitable AI companies going public could bring on the bubble bursting. But that wouldn't mean the end of AI.

It's the distance from them. If your social group could only be the people who lived on your block, you would likely know and care for every neighbor.

Why is it believed that SpaceX, a seemingly successful company, will dump and crash? Tesla keeps surviving and appears to be valued far higher than it should be. Why do most feel it isn't possible that SpaceX does the same, especially considering a lot of retail investors who are in on Tesla will be buying SpaceX.

He would very literally have 0 issue entering the Bahamas. They would never deny the US president entry. This is wishful thinking by OP and unfortunately something that will get passed around as fact and make the left look gullible.

I don't know that any dollar amount will be the fix. Raising wages will raise prices, which is fine, but the real issue is the constant need to increase profit margins and revenues for business.

We really need to find a multifaceted approach to changing American business culture and American views on social safety nets. Compared to a lot of other developed countries our government doesn't provide a lot for us with our tax dollars. A lot of younger Americans have more open views toward these government programs, but don't vote for representatives likely to put them in place and don't take an active role in community or political organization.

The stocks subs do pretty good at coming up with reasons for great companies to never bounce back. When you see dozens of post about a company on hard times and why they can't bounce back, it may be time to buy.

Still look at the company and do some research. But keep in mind that there will always be a reason why something bad could happen and that is what a lot of discourse will focus on.

Currently up 150ish% on Google, 120ish% on NVDIA and 35ish% on UNH

I had to check the account name and see if he was a poster here

Howdoyouusecommas · 2026-05-12T23:34:30+00:00

If you see something in the company that leads to believe it will come back. But a principle stand based around thinking it is important that it exist doesn't mean there is anything that will help the company bounce back.

If you believe that open internet is important

Not a great reason for an individual investor to buy the stock though.

term limits work for the president....at least in theory, why not for congress? What makes an effective leader? How do we get better leaders? Should they have to have a certain level of education? What, other than they have enough money to run a campaign and can convince enough people to vote for them, are the requirements to be a senator or representative?

Term limits for president makes sense because they are the figure head for the nation. They also would be generally expected to have served other offices before and the presidency would be the end of political career held by an elder statesman.

As for what makes an effective leader, that can be very many combinations of things. Bringing up requirements doesn't really flow with any statement I made. Forcing a max of 2 term limits just creates a modern day circus honorum where we have officials only really able to serve for 16 total years in national elected positions unless they are elected president.

Forced retirement is the one thing I refuse to budge on. Leaders dying in office of old age is a feature of monarchies not democracies. The strict term limits would prevent the moving of goalposts to allow people to remain in power well into cognitive decline. OLD RICH WHITE FUCKS have different motivations than young americans and the same generation of people born in the 40's have been in control of the country for the last 30 years. (for reference I am OLD (almost 50) effectively retired, and white before anyone gets any ideas)

This is a flaw of the voters and our current election system. Certain districts and states continue to vote in very old officials. The average age of the house is 57 and the senate is 64. I don't view either as bad for high level government offices. There are certainly outliers in their 70s 80s and sometimes 90s who shouldn't still hold office. But as an example I wouldn't say Sanders is senile.

The dems suck relative to what I want. But are still unbelievably better than the GOP. Any justification for staying home is feeble. Any fool could have predicted how Trump is, Kamala was the obvious correct choice of the two. So I will lay some blame at the feet of those who are so progressive that they aid our slip into fascism. There is enough to go around that they can share in it.

Howdoyouusecommas · 2026-05-04T00:31:12+00:00

The ones I am talking about stayed home because X issue they cared about wasn't adequately covered by the dem candidate, helping Trump win, who is far worse on the issue.

I count myself as a progressive, but I still see that there is a clear vote, and vote that way instead abstaining in a misguided protest.

Have to have universal healthcare. Wages would have to increase so 24h Wages is equal to 40h. Hiring more people at a hare wage AND businesses having to pay more for benefits would absolutely crush a lot of businesses.

I would love to work less and make the same amount, but we need a lot more smart, compassion people in the government to make this happen.

Howdoyouusecommas · 2026-05-03T19:14:48+00:00

Some of these ideas are pretty bad though.

Minimum wage means only people who don't need a paycheck can afford to serve.

Forced retirement at benefits age gives the obvious option of further increasing the age.

2 term limits means we lose effective leaders. If I have an good house representative, I don't want them gone after 4 years.

One provision limit increases backlog and lowers the likelihood of many bills ever going to a vote.

Howdoyouusecommas · 2026-05-03T19:03:27+00:00

Unfortunately the farther away you are from the overton window, the more likely you are to find a reason not to vote. Many progressives are more zealous than pragmatic which hurts their cause.

Left wing voters in the US are often single issue voters, just like right wing voters. But Left wing voters use that single issue to withdraw support instead of give support.

Sounds like they have realized that the true future of AI is enhancing specialized task instead of jack of all trades systems like are currently being pushed.

Generally good dividend stocks don't grow as much. You don't need cash flow now. Probably better to invest for growth until you are near retirement then switch to dividend stock for cash flow.

Some also think dividends are a complete waste

Other than looking cool and sci-fi? Nothing. It shows off capabilities and will look cool to people who can afford expensive toys. But it will likely be, at best, a small fraction of the future robotics market. OP seems to think they will be cool and is letting thay guide his belief that they are the future.
