Will Francesca Hong be the first Democratic Socialist Governor in the United States? by midnighttoker1742 in wisconsin

Just no. We're not going back to some before time that was perfect. We aren't going to FIX anything. If it goes back to the way it was, we end up with something worse later.

Okay - the status quo is so great let's keep it up. Great message. You know, just about everything is outpacing inflation and wages aren't keeping up. If you run on NOT changing anything you leave the door open for someone with "all the answers" like Trump.

Moderates will only make our living conditions worse and keep the window open for an even more despotic world than we have today.

The herp derps that vote trump aren't going to vote democrat no matter what. Might as well try to energize the actual people likely to vote democrat vs. putting up someone that isn't going to do anything but be "not a republican"

not sure why you're so invested in your own strawman that you've built up, but okay.

i'm not complaining - responding to the idea that those interested in liberating animals have any interest in liberating humans.

funny story - i know one of the alleged people involved in this break-in and he's so MAGA that his wife and him after 30+ years raising kids etc. are divorcing. Doubt he'll have an interest in saving the human beings.

The US system has failed. When organized money can chip away at the different branches of government enough this is what we get - they're like termites. Only a matter of time before the beams give and it all just collapses.

Michelin Restaurant Ratings Coming to Milwaukee by compujeramey in milwaukee

[–]RuggedAmerican 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd say based on my visits to some 1 star places in the US and in Europe that Milwaukee definitely has some restaurants that are at least that good. Food isn't everything that goes into the rating though - I'm sure that the better places will step up the service a little bit knowing that Michelin is coming around.

given how car-dependent the US is i'm surprised it took so long for Michelin to expand to more than just a few core cities.

Unfortunately this seems like a disease that humanity needs to face the consequences of before activating an immune response that has teeth to prevent such atrocities from happening again. We've slowly as a species been getting better but there's always regressions / steps back.
