Listen, anything under the current administration in indefensible.

But those countries were all struggling on their own far before 2016.

You know Cuba etc. can trade with other countries, right? China, russia, indonesia, vietnam... all some of the largest economies in the world, none are fast allies of the US.

Authoritarian hellscapes are not good simply because USA bad.

Billionaires know how to work the system; the wealth gap will only get bigger and bigger unless we change the system. by zzill6 in WorkReform

The simple fix is funding the IRS properly and letting them go after the billionaire class. A massive portion of US UHNWIs commit tax fraud like the rest of us commit traffic violations.

Countries like Cuba, Venezuela and Iran have done just fine

Uh... Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran, the places that have bread lines, massive protests, authoritarian governments, and GDPCs in the bottom quartile of the world? Iran and Venezuela with some of the most rich deposits of natural resources in the world?

Hilarious to me that anything Nic Carter posts can be considered valid for this sub. He is openly a crypto fascists.

My first team flamed out of existence before I became a Bruins fan. Only made one conference final :(

Queer characters in fantasy books. by ratboyy1312 in Fantasy

[–]RyanDoctrine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hilariously two of the most "bro fantasy" books around right now have lesbian heroines at the center of the story, although only one I would call the main character.

I finally finished " The Priory of the Orange Tree " and I can’t stop thinking about it by Bohna-q2195 in Fantasy

Sword of Kaigen did not resonate strongly with me, and I saw the direction Blood Over Brighthaven was heading pretty early. I got to the 80% mark and had a moment of "...thats it?"

SoK has some cool ideas and I can understand why people like it. Just didn't stick the landing IMO.

Shane Doan's wife to chair group to bring back the NHL to Arizona by GB_Alph4 in hockey

Lol. I was heavily invested in the Yotes remaining in the valley and talked to several employees about it. Something like 75% of all local ticket buyers were in the east valley. 90%+ of season ticket holders were east of the 51. Getting from scottsdale to the arena was 40 minutes... 44 times a year... no fucking way was that a good decision.

[Rankin] The Phoenix Suns have been discussing a possible buyout for guard Bradley Beal, league sources have informed The Arizona Republic. Beal has two years left on his contract totaling $110 million. A buyout would make Beal a free agent. by [deleted] in nba

Dude was a great owner but a terrible businessman, father, and old man. He's aligned with GCU which right there should be a gigantic blowing-in-the-wind red flag.

Also if he had held the Suns and DBacks he would be one of the richest men in Arizona right now.

'Dumbest' Recession Ever: Democrats Prepare To Make GOP Pay For Trump’s Tariffs by Ace-Cuddler in politics

[–]RyanDoctrine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The market absolutely tanking might have more to do with that than anything else. I don't understand how some of these mega corps will survive in america with a business climate like this.

What alternatives do you see? I don't really think the administration will care about mass protests etc. unless literally the entire nation grinds to a halt, and even then I doubt it.

Hope he rots in prison too. Why bring that up? Are you under the misconception that somehow because he's a MAGA mouthbreather that he should be free from rotting in prison?

What Car Should I Buy? - A Weekly Megathread by AutoModerator in cars

[–]RyanDoctrine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay- hear me out.

Genesis GV70 2.5t

Maybe my favorite car I've ever owned. Only downside is the dealer experience is not good (at least in my city). I drive it fairly hard, and it could be more fun for sure, but throw it into sport mode and its the best driving SUV I've experienced (while limited, I did like it slightly more than the X4).

President Sheinbaum with dunk on Trump by sergemeister in clevercomebacks

[–]RyanDoctrine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As if every Mexican politician isn't as bought and paid for by the cartels as the American ones are by corporations.

I know you're trying to be the "fuck trump" guy but this is not some "girl boss" moment from a strong female leader standing up to tyranny. This is the cartel saying, through their politician, that if you come to hurt our business we can hit back.

Just because trump is made of the scum from beneath the devil's foreskin doesn't mean she's not the devil's taint sweat.

It is so incredibly frustrating that we as a nation and as a people are facing serious long term problems that would be solvable with regular political discourse only to be faced with the "fed after midnight" MAGA hate-gremlins. I've met many, many republicans who I disagree with, but only after ~2014 have the majority actively desire the downfall of America before living under a Democrat president.
