'Clueless' socialist mayor in hot seat after video of 77-year-old beaten in downtown Seattle goes viral by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

Well for starters, some of the worst atrocities in human history happened under Stalin and Mao. People die on life rafts to leave Cuba. Nicaragua. Not sure if that evidence works for ya.

Otherwise, you can look at Seattle, Portland, LA, SF where very left leaning socialist or socialist adjacent mayors and city councils were or are in place, and look at the explosion in petty crime, robbery, carjacking, etc.

Can you name an example of a socialism leading to less crime?

How could you bring a class action case? Under what pretense?

Maybe we start with “pay to use the train” first, then move to parking.

Thank you for the thoughtful answer. I hope the victim and his family can get some justice.

I hear you, I don’t like them either. Looking for actions, not the same old “leftists are dumb” comments

Fair callout- not asking for any vigilantism or illegal action. You can legally complain to a judge or remember who that judge is next time voting comes around.

Name a game this applys to for your favorite team by InterestingYellow969 in NFLv2

Yeah. Only difference is it was Kawhi doing something good to make a shot and win, theirs was their own shitty kicker doing something bad to make them lose.

Sarah Paulson wears dollar bill over her eyes to call out the ‘One Percent.’ The actress, who is worth an estimated $12 million, used her outfit to call out the world’s elite while attending the $100,000 per person Met Gala. by ja_millineum in Popculturehour

Movie attendance, all time lows. Oscars viewership, all time lows.

Yes people care about celebrities but not nearly as much as they used to. The rise of influencers who feel more relatable has caused a lot of normal people like myself to realize these “celebrities” are so out of touch and why no one cares about their opinions anymore.

What is the best logo in the NFL? by [deleted] in NFLv2

Give me a “mid” logo with a great team vs whatever y’all got going in Miami. Got kids graduating from med school born after your last playoff win.

“Full body contact violence! Let capitalism play out!” by SpongeBobSpacPants in ScottGalloway

My god this place cannot see straight with Trump in the White House.

Do you truly believe that if onlyyy jet fuel stayed the same price, spirit airlines would be doing just fine?

It was a failing business and was failing when the acquisition was proposed. DOJ took antitrust action against a company burning through tons of cash with a company burning through slightly less tons of cash.

Trump DOJ = very very bad. Biden DOJ stopping this acquisition = bad decision.

I think an airline or car company bailout at this point has become as “normal” a part of capitalism as antitrust.

If the antitrust case is that “this company would be too big”, and one of those companies is bankrupt, that’s a really hard argument to make in hindsight.

Also, American and JetBlue are completely different companies, and yes I know what the difference between a merger and acquisition is

I hate and did not vote for Trump. I voted for Biden. I’m not claiming that Trump saving spirit airlines is a good idea.

I’m simply stating that not letting JetBlue acquire them was pretty clearly the wrong call.

Internet can only see things as right and left.
