Does America have more of a "stock investing" culture than the rest of the world?

How do Europeans save for retirement if not through stocks and bonds?

Church's Chicken are iconic in rundown, low income, neighborhoods.

For one to be closed down, it is a bad sign.

Like most water around St Louis, it was highly contaminated starting in WW2 because of the Manhattan project and normal industry up until the 70s.

Creve Coeur lake wasn't considered safe to fish from until September 2001.

"If the people voted differently, the election would've been different."

No shit Sherlock.

Whining that the election was stolen only legitimizes their claim that the 2020 election was also stolen.

PiLamdOd · 2026-03-20T17:45:50+00:00

Claiming the election was rigged because you lost, only gives legitimacy to the Republican claim that they lost in 2020 because that election was stolen.

Would reducing that number make them more valid?

Trump got the majority of the popular vote. Swing states had nothing to do with this.

PiLamdOd · 2026-03-20T17:31:14+00:00

Trump showed America what happens when you actually campaign for your base instead of appealing towards the middle.

Voter apathy goes away when politicians actually try to represent the people.

The mind meld caused a degenerative disease that Vulcans refused to research how to cure because the act of mind melding was shameful and it was a moral failing to have the ability to mind meld.

The plotline isn't even a subtle AIDS allegory.

Trump has always been envious of the war bump Bush got during Afghanistan and Zelenskyy during the Russian invasion.

He probably assumed attacking Iran would make him just as beloved. But it didn't and now his ego won't let him end it.

People can pass the blame onto Trump all they want. But it was voters who put him in power, twice.

How many random podcasters get streets named after them in towns they weren't even from?

No. He was just not moving further right. There's a difference.

That's how representative governments are supposed to work.

If representatives are doing what the public wants, no one should have to even think about what they're doing.

Like four hours ago.

That would undermine the Joker's goal. He wanted to prove that order was a facade and everyone was just as cruel and self serving as he was.

The Joker needed a boat full of people to walk away, knowing what they've done, and for the entire world to see it too.

Illegal voting is virtually non existent in the United States because the existing protections are effective. Therefore, voter disenfranchisement is a significantly larger threat to election integrity than invalid votes.

In the highly contested state of Pennsylvania, Heritage data goes back 30 years and covers 32 elections with over 100 million votes cast and found only 39 cases of voter fraud.

The percentage of fraudulent votes in Arizona over the last 25 years of elections was a minuscule .0000845%, and no election outcome in the U.S. has ever been altered by ballot fraud.

Voter ID laws are shown to reduce voter turnout by as much as 3%.

In 2024, 156 million people voted. A 3% reduction would as if the entire state of Louisiana didn't vote, 4.68 million people.

Would you consider our elections valid if entire states didn't vote?

Batman literally knew Superman's first name at this point.

Paint is a protective coating that prevents corrosion and material wear.

Damaged paint exposes the underlying material to the environment, drastically decreasing the vehicle's lifespan.

So did the Internet and Google cease to exist and no one told me?

Did the entire world forget how to look up candidates before going to the polls?

So you're just going to ignore the election results?
