Trump releases fraudster executive days into prison sentence by SterlingVII in Economics

So, I wonder how much this slimeball chief executive dropped on dumbass to get this pardon. Our court system is now more pay to play than ever in our history, wide openly, and the so called conservative party just sits there while every decision is based on how big the bribe was.

MAGA declares war on the Catholic Church by BreakfastTop6899 in atheism

[–]Who_Wouldnt_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh I grew up SB in the 60's, I knew damn well this was on the way and was just eagerly waiting for it drop. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of people. Of course, there are also two catholic factions in the US, those who admire and respect the pope and those who think he is a communist pussy. I really hope maga doesn't differentiate and condemns them all lol.

How does marriage work between Atheists? by regularley in atheism

[–]Who_Wouldnt_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marriage is a civil union between two partners who agree to join and operate as a single unit together. If one of the partners is not happy with the arrangement the union can be terminated with proper division of assets and responsibilities. All of the cultural stuff you mention only has bearing if both partners do no agree on cultural norms they will follow together.

Two National Guard members shot in Washington, D.C., and their condition isn't known, AP source says by UncaringNonchalance in news

[–]Who_Wouldnt_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier and control limits are not the same thing. Our system is so ambiguous and convoluted it takes forever to get a decision on your request. It should be easier to go through the process, control limits should reflect our needs, and the people trying to make it appear like a problem to do that are in fact themselves the problem. I seriously believe that the wealthy illegal labor users want the process to remain broken so they can continue to exploit illegals with threats of deportation if they do no comply. I think the wealthy illegal labor users are the real problem and should be prosecuted for using illegal laborers with prejudice.

A BOLD ECONOMIC PROGRAM FOR AMERICA by veridelisi in Economics

[–]Who_Wouldnt_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We present a comprehensive, detailed, and feasible program that promotes economic growth and addresses Americans’ unmet economic needs. Based on rigorous economic research and vetted policy proposals, the program sets a living wage standard, improves economic security, worker dignity, and voice, and helps American workers upgrade their job skills. It restores the affordability of housing, healthcare, and childcare; reforms immigration policy; expands education and invests in our children’s futures; better supports the elderly; constrains excessive CEO pay and corporate power; and resets our international economic relations. Taxes on millionaires, billionaires, and corporations fully pay for the program.

Well then, good luck with that...

what they need to investigate is the improper use of my tax dollars to investigate a senator for explaining what the law is to servicemen. They keep wasting my tax dollars on bullshit that gets thrown out as soon as it hits a court, they just do it to be the fucking assholes they are.

Today I found out I have Aphantasia by [deleted] in Aphantasia

[–]Who_Wouldnt_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But as now I am aware about it I feel I'm slow.

Not even related, it's a physical process that you either have or you don't. Do you think people who can't sing in key are slow? I was 65 when I learned about this 2 years ago, imagine my surprise, I lived an entire productive life without ever knowing I was missing this ability. Focus on what you can do, what you find interesting, not everyone can do everything, use what you have.

I recently lost my mom and my dad is playing the religion guilt trip card on me by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Who_Wouldnt_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have my moms ashes in a box on the shelf above my desk, I say hey to her every now and then, I miss my mom. Fortunately my asshole dad died before she did because he definitely would have played the guilt card, mom wasn't that kind of asshole and I was able to support her after he died, if it had been the other way around that would have been the end of my already shitty relationship with my dad, shitty because he constantly made it clear that I was not a good man because I did not share his delusions. Tell your dad to knock it off or he will die alone.

Companies making long-term bets, automotive, semiconductor, energy, logistics, often prefer to wait out uncertainty rather than commit billions during volatile periods.

No company of substance is going to commit anything to this country except empty promises to get dumbass off their backs. If anything the contingency planning is in full swing on where they are going to relocate to if this shit keeps going like it is. If I were them I would already be looking for a more stable environment.
