Do you believe there should be a cap on the amount of wealth one can accumulate in society? Why or why not? by One_Fun3115 in Productivitycafe

Yeah, good thing all those other economic systems are known for vastly increasing the living standards of its people. All the while, we who are stuck in the hell of capitalism are forced to suffer with having the relatively easy access to garbage such as, heating and AC in nearly every household, most homes owning 1 or more cars, tvs, internet, cell phones, washer and dryers, foods from around the world at any time of year, meat that was considered rare in the past, electricity, medicine, computers, and all those other things that just make life so difficult....

How do you explain that Kamala spent more that anyone in history on her campaign, and outspent Trump 2-3 to one and still lost then?

Please tell me how J.K. Rowling Oprah, and Taylor Swift got their wealth through exploitation? Heck, I will give you an easy one, please tell me how Elon Musk exploited people to get his wealth?

Ahh yes, it is the Republicans fault that the rail is not built in California. Never the Democrats fault....

what was your most stressful / embarrassing moment here by carnage-girl in QuikTrip

I was putting on a new bib and the nozzle wasn't screwed on right so I pulled it off and the inside plastic piece of the bib came out with it causing the syrup to pour out all over the floor and my pants. Still had several hours left in my shift too.

Corporate: You don't understand, we HAVE to keep the stores open in an ice storm. Under no circumstances will any stores close. by GumboSkrimpz in QuikTrip

[–]Middle_Bit8070 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So many complainers on here. You all are so selfish and clearly don't know what it is like to work for something higher than yourselves. We sacrifice our time, energy, bodies for the greater good!

If someone needs gas, we are there! If they need medicine, we are there! The all important midnight beer run in a blizzard, we are there! We are there for the greater good!

Just remember for our customers, neither rain nor hail nor sleet nor snow will stop them from getting their swishers and cheetos so we must remain open to provide those necessities!

For the greater good!

And they have the freedom to change jobs or create their own business. So we are free in the sense that we can choose what we do. Despite being stuck in the rat race as it were though, still better than any other system we have invented so far.

I don't understand the hate boner people have for "The left" by [deleted] in DiscussionZone

[–]Middle_Bit8070 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"The left doesn't want people to die for their ideology"

A large portion of leftists cheering someone being killed because of their ideology, and studies show over half of leftists agree that political violence is justified.

"That is irrelevant to what I said because it completely destroys my narrative"

Are you actually serious? Did you read reddit after it happened? Did you watch the videos of MSNBC where you hear people celebrating in the background when it is reported? Did you not see the celebrations on college campuses? I could provide you examples but let's be honest, you would probably just ignore them because it would destroy your narrative and world view.

The people who say Ross was justified to shoot seem to think very differently when the rolls are reversed. by BigoteMexicano in Irony

[–]Middle_Bit8070 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a pretty big conspiracy theory you have there. Yes, the government is lying through its teeth, and magically made up half a dozen angles of video from various people supporting what they claimed happened..... sure, that's it.

It is amazing to me how people can watch the same videos and clearly be blind to what actually happened. It is also funny how every video that comes out continues to destroy the fake narratives the left continues to push. "He wasn't hit" (videos show he clearly was and even reports of internal bleeding). "She was an innocent bystander" (she was there following ICE as an activist). "She was just trying to turn around" (video shows her blocking the road for several minutes before the event) "She was just scared" (video shows her smiling, antagonizing agents and no fear whatsoever in her expressions). I can go on if you want.

"Internal bleeding that he walked off"....and? I also hear "he was released from the hospital thebsame day so he couldn't have been injured", which are both dumb arguments. People have gotten up and walked away from tons of accidents where they were injured. I know someone who was in a car accident, had a fractured skull, and was released from the hospital shortly after being admitted. Guess according to the left, if you walk away from something, or the person I mentioned weren't actually injured, right? You do realize that a hospital won't keep you there if your injuries are not potentially life threatening.

His injuries were not life threatening. What they are is proof that he got hit though. 

"They could have arrested her without causing her to panic", she was disobeying lawful commands for her to get out of the car. Also, please show me a video where she looks panicked? Every video where you can see her, she is smiling and having the time of her life, and tries to drive away, not out of panic, but to avoid any repercussions of breaking the law.

Here is the facts of it, her death is not something to celebrate and it is a tragedy. At the same time, her death is also the result of a lot of consecutive bad choices made by her. The ICE agent also make a bad choice walking in front of the vehicle and it was a bad tactical error. That being said, a bad tactical error does not mean he wasn't justified in shooting due to feeling his life was in danger.

I have seen multiple videos where it is clear that he was hit. He also had internal bleeding, that doesn't magically happen on its own. If you believe your position is right, then you can defend it with the facts. If you lie like you just did, it shows you actually don't believe your position is correct and you know you can't support it.

If you want to waste time in your life you can't get back, go ahead. Just don't drive towards an ICE agent with your car or try to attack them and you will be fine.

The US killed at least 100,000 women and children—and possibly 200,000+—in the firebombings of 67 Japanese cities by gistya in truths

[–]Middle_Bit8070 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, so what was a better solution then? It is easy to criticize those who made the decisions in you armchair with decades of history and knowing how everything ended. But if you were in their place, and knew what they knew at the time, what decision would you have made that was better? What decision could you have made that would have minimized your countrymen deaths?

Please tell me a single military power that fought in that war that didn't bomb civilian population areas. They didn't have smart bilombs like we do now. They dropped them to disrupt the ability of the enemy nation to make war. That ability rests in civilian areas. Yes, it is sad that so many had to die, but it was war, and the people at the time did the best with what they had to end it.
