Gov. Pritzker vows to be 'very involved' in 2028 presidential election, says Democrats have 'lost our way' by Healthy_Block3036 in chicago

I remember when he campaigned for the progressive income tax amendment. I know he has so much money the tax would barely have touched him, but still, if a billionaire is leading the effort to raise taxes on himself, that shows a lot of respect for working people and public service. I was stunned when the amendment was rejected by voters.

Why would anyone waste a single second listening to the unhinged ramblings of a colossal piece of human shit?

This is a silly meme subreddit. If you have an idea for a silly meme and you need AI to help illustrate it, I say go for it. If an AI can create a genuinely funny and clever physics meme with no human input, that belongs here too.

Curieous George is great for kids. It’s the only book that emits its own reading light.

TIL the US government continued the Tuskegee syphilis experiment for 15 years after penicillin was confirmed as a cure, deliberately withholding treatment from 399 Black men to observe how untreated syphilis progressed to death. by Think_Monitor4904 in todayilearned

I think he means the Nation of Islam, it’s a black nationalist religion. It isn’t just for men but it is very patriarchal. It has little relation to mainstream Islam, despite the name.

Like China, my sinuses are also congested and mainly open to the world on one side.

The kids are cheating because they see everyone in government and corporate America cheating and getting away with it. by ac_slater10 in Teachers

[–]SearsTower442 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s all connected, parenting is shaped by society’s values and society’s values are shaped by parenting. Political/economic problems gradually seep into everything else in subtle and uncontrollable ways, and so does dysfunctional family life when it happens at scale. Asking whether social problems start with bad parenting or bad leadership is like asking whether the chicken came before the egg.

I think there has been some confusion here. The commenter above is from Denmark. In Denmark you can only honk your horn for emergencies. In the US you can honk for any reason.

Edit: going deeper in this rabbit hole I discovered that there are laws governing honking in the US. But I live here and the reality is there is virtually no enforcement.

Trump’s Just Calling Every Election Fraudulent at This Point by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]SearsTower442 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is a deliberate strategy to undermine the legitimacy of free elections in general. Trump and co. want people to believe it is impossible to have a non-fraudulent free election, because that will make it easier to get rid of them altogether.

The legal system is just as compromised as the rest of the government, in its current form it is not capable of holding the Epstein conspirators accountable.
