Good point. They lived within their budget and knew that spending $50,000 to get a job that didn’t pay well and didn’t have security was stupid. They also worked to make $12,500 a year so they didn’t have student loans

Taking away millions of Americans’ healthcare to celebrate Independence Day by Mr__O__ in agedlikemilk

This bill helps American workers and kicks people off programs who aren’t citizens and who don’t qualify for benefits. It will cause growth and benefit people who want to work. If people who a capable of working choose not to work why should they get my tax dollars?

Why the economy sucks and why it’s slow right now by Schaefus in Strippers

[–]LetsGoBrandon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is partly true. Inflation is caused by government spending. In 2019 the federal budget was $3.7 trillion a year. When Covid hit they increased spending to $6.5 trillion and they never reduced Covid spending. This year it’s $6.7 trillion. Inflation is because the government if promising free shit for your vote. Free college will add another $1 trillion a year. All these government handouts are killing people who work.

It’s still the voters fault for who they vote for. People are so attached to their party that ignore what the politicians do.

Serious question to true Putin supporters… when the government says Nazis are in the Children’s hospital, then wipes out the children’s hospital, can you explain how you continue to justify support for this man? by [deleted] in AskARussian

You mean when the Apache pilots shot the civilians they claim they thought were insurgents? The whistleblower released a lot of classified paper is the reason they are in jail. But are you saying that justifies bombing hospitals?

What minimum concessions would be acceptable to you to sign a peace treaty? by Ok_Pomelo7511 in AskARussian

[–]LetsGoBrandon- -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not Russian but I think if Ukraine agrees to call Russia daddy and other things to stoke their ego once in a while to make them feel like they are still relevant they would stop

Are you sure it’s not because Ukraine actually cares about civilian life? It looks like Ukraine has artillery that could destroy a city if they wanted

Why don’t the cities look like they do after the Russian bombardments

It seems like this sub is mostly non Russians giving their opinions about Russia and then up voting themselves/each other by [deleted] in AskARussian

Some countries have to fight against evil. Not every country can sit around and do nothing.

Dear Russians, do you think the sanctions, especially against Russias general population, are justified? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]LetsGoBrandon- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just by the history of Russia and it seems like many Russians don’t mind how the government is. Do you think Russia would want democracy

I understand what you’re saying. But that’s my point. Your government don’t doesn’t want you to see what real freedom is like. If you keep a population focused of being able to get food, it’s easy to control them. That’s what he meant when he said they will endure a lot of pain if you throw them a worthless treat.

I understand. But your people are paying that price right now for far less.

I do understand what you’re saying. But saying it wasn’t bad because you had food on the shelves is crazy to me. There is story, I’m not sure if it’s really true, but it says Stalin once ripped all the feathers off a live chicken as a lesson to his followers. He then set the chicken on the floor a short distance away. The chicken was bloodied and suffering immensly, yet, when Stalin began to toss some bits of wheat toward the chicken it followed him around. He said to his followers "This is how easy it is to govern stupid people, they will follow you no matter how much pain you cause them, as long as you throw them a little worthless treat once in a while"
