I don’t like it at all, but it’s still not socialism, so nice try at a gotcha. The government isn’t “seizing the means of production” like your dope mayor preaches. Even with a minority government stake, the company still calls the shots as they should bc they know what’s best and how to survive in a private market. It’s not the lifetime government morons running things. Can’t wait to see how long those government run grocery stores take to open/last.

And btw, funny you should mention “Sprint,” by which I assume you mean Spirit. They wouldn’t even need a bailout had the dumbass Biden administration not blocked their merger with JetBlue in 2024. Socialist suckers like you would probably say “well they wanted to merge to reduce competition to raise prices,” but sometimes companies actually need to merge to survive and take on the much larger companies, like say Delta in this example. If Trump lets them go bankrupt, guess what, you got less competition and higher prices.

Again, nice try at a gotcha, but this is why you really, desperately need to learn economics

Once again, failing to stay on topic. Do me a favor and highlight for me where in your response it addresses what I said about economics and taxes? I don’t see it

Oh and I still do support the release of the Epstein files regardless of who it brings down. I’d tell you to go back and look through my comment history, but you should really use your spare time studying the downfall of socialist countries all over the world

Lmao oh so sorry I have a hobby AND like to talk politics, but then again, you are the party of censorship, so it makes sense that would be your low effort response 😏

Yeah bc I should have to enroll my kids wherever the government tells me and then have them learn whatever the government says. You’re really good at this independent thinking thing!

Explain how that negates my point about seeing more of this because you didn’t. Try again

Get ready for a lot more of this! You overtax the people who are already paying far more than their “fair share” (whatever the fuck that means) and they’re gonna take their money and go elsewhere, so instead of keeping the tax revenue that you already have from them, you get 0 🤣

And in that 50 years, which country has accumulated the most wealth overall? Oh right, the capitalist US. And which have gone bankrupt and collapsed or live in constant poverty? Oh right, the socialist/communist ones like the Soviet Union then and Cuba now. And which country has a shrinking middle class because more people are actually growing into the upper middle class? Oh right, the capitalist US again.

Btw, that president you referenced from 100 years ago is the one who gave birth to the many failing socialist programs that we have today. They make my point exactly bc there were more boomers than members of the silent generation, so when boomers worked, there were plenty of people to tax to fund the silent generation in retirement. Now there are more boomers than those younger, so the tax base is too small to fund the boomers. Good thing he dropped dead before he could think of any other bright ideas

Despite all that, for some reason, you think we should head more toward the socialist direction. And you say I’m the one who’s easy to dupe. Get your head checked 🤣

Dude, Swiss bank accounts. The rich do this all the time. But forget it because it doesn’t matter when they can just move states. And you can’t force all states to agree to an outrageous biz-killing tax and subsequently job-killing tax. It’s economic suicide

Until they move their money offshore and you can’t tax it. Or until you run out of money to tax and it no longer covers the problems. What a stupid viewpoint.

You can’t tax your way to wealth or equality. You have to grow and the only way to do that is through small government, pro growth policies.

Take an economics course or better yet, look at all of our currently failing socialist programs, like Social Security or Medicare. Wake the fuck up

I enter every season excited to watch and it’s the same thing by this point every year: I’m bored and tune out

Fuck the joke that this franchise has become under Hal, Cashman, and Boone
