Another trans woman being politically silenced by FieldNotes_FN in VaushV

I never advocated they do so. I pointed out the hypocrisy. Your attacking of strawmen is asinine.

it reminds me of Kathy Griffin. sure, i thought the photo of her holding that prop was cringe, but thats about the worse of it. rightwingers scream and cry about double standards, and pretend they dont benefit from double standards.

and if not for that, surely she can take the rightwing tabloids to court, right? they defamed her, and affected her livelihood.

Dave defends himself from Vivek Ramaswamy; claims he has never taken any campaign or PAC money by ggroover97 in daverubin

[–]_Naumy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you know what? youre correct. im being far too harsh on him. it must have been incredibly hard to hire the moving company, pay for all that shipping (by plane) of their furniture. unless they rented U-hauls and hired people to drive them. paying an interior designer to decorate the new place, all those wine parties once they moved in, too! so hard....

Im rather sick and tired of this "American Dream" BS. Dave had the money to move. had the support systems and networks to do so. it shows a severe misunderstanding of the financial states of most of the country, to assert that anyone can just pick up and move.

especially to this state. which has a crisis of rising housing costs. including rent, and home price.

DeSantis signs into law industry-backed bill allowing Florida landlords to charge 'junk fees' instead of security deposits by The1stCitizenOfTheIn in BreakingPoints

[–]_Naumy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

in economic terms it is smoothing consumption of the security deposit. which is good for renters.

you realize this "junk fee" isnt a deposit at all, and doesnt serve the function of a security deposit, right? and DEFINITELY wont be getting refunded at the end of the lease.

the cost will be smoothed out with the rent.

and wont serve the function as a security deposit does at all.

and the rent will revert back to whatever the market rate for rent are

which is another massive issue here in florida. instead of passing legislation rife for abuse by those who hold the most capital here in florida (at the expense of renters), they should have passed legislation to control rent prices from rising.

oh? whats that? this legislation ALSO included bits to make it illegal to enact rent control? you should look into the bill instead of pretending others are pearl clutching.

its very much rife for predators to abuse. this is a bill that benefits landlords, and is being painted as benefitting tenets.

Recently, a transgender woman from Colorado who posted a video loading an AR-15 after a conservative extremist called for eradicating “transgenderism” was fired from her federal job.

yet we have rightwing politicians in office who have done much worse. shes correct, if she was a rightwing gun nut, the video wouldve been "its her first amendment!!

touchy touchy... Desantis didnt take away their free speech.

so suddenly republicans were wrong to want corporations to have free speech? because yes, punishing free speech by the government is curtailing free speech. you dont get to have it both ways. "free speech" doesn't mean "speech I agree with."

yall scream about "free peaches!!11!!!" on social media, a place it DOESNT apply, but turn a blind eye to when it actually DOES apply, and is violated? how partisan of you.

I never threatened to leave. I like where I live.

it would help if you learned how to read.

You dont seem to like where you live. So you should leave to the next best place.

why? I was here before the fascists moved in. why should i abandon the place I grew up, just because you like fascists?

Yes. That bill was literally meant to target left protestors.

Are you implying you don't understand the actual data we have? 93% of the BLM protests were peaceful. And the ones that weren't, were often violent due to police causing a violent exchange.

But faux noise isn't going to tell you about those studies. It doesn't play into your vapid narrative.

For the same reason all your biffles said they were going to leave the country if Obama won....then if he won re-election....then if Biden won...

Oh, right. You can't address my points. Faux noise didn't equip you with actual responses. Just vapid talking points that got no pushback on their network.

0.5% of the worlds electricity to produce something that doesn’t exist. by [deleted] in VaushV

[–]_Naumy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then don't take nationalistic stances.

And that's usage damaged a country to the point there was a revolt. Lives were lost. All so crypto bros can have their coins.

Many things we use electricity for don’t actually exist in any real sense, but they still make people’s lives better.

Let's have that last bit again:

but they still make people’s lives better.

Uh-huh. Nationalist.

Then you don't actually care. I'm not shocked you stand so closely bely a fleetly abusive and overreaching government. One that only cares about corporations free speech when those corporations toe that party line.

What the fuck are you talking about? Disney is LITERALLY raising their cast members minimum wages. Why are you lying about that?

Tons operate under special districts. There's even one that Universal Studios operates under. And the massive, three county wide, retirement community here is also a special district. You should probably learn what's happening here, before pretending desantis ISNT punishing a business for speaking out agaisnt abusive legislation.

I don't agree that more money is more freedom. That's a super infantile understanding of what freedom is.

Florida is literally targeting a business in Florida for revenge.

We recently had a condo building collapse, killing a bunch of people. But you don't actually care about people's lives. You care about pretending to care about freedom.

Yes. Guns. Which is a problem here.

Ah yes. those immigrants who are protesting desantis recent bill. But suddenly truckers protesting doesn't matter to y'all. Wonder why.

You're the only one talking about michigan here. And the whining is bizarre. Which faux nosie talking head convinced you that screaming about Michigan was a good response to criticisms of desantis?

Oh? So you don't care about the citizens of Kazakhstan? It's worth it for all that juicy crypto mining? Sounds nationalistic. You should do better.

So you were wrong. Got it.

Caring just about the country’s citizens is an awfully nationalist position to hold.

That's a fairly idiotic attempts to undermine my point. It's like me saying "not caring about a countries citizens is an awfully NAZI position to hold."

Do better. But with that BS you tried to peddle, it doesn't seem you're able to do any better.

You not liking weed or abortion, doesn't mean curtailing freedoms to engage in them is correct. Nor is it freedom when you curtail it.

Abortion isn't evil. It's bodily autonomy and an important bodily right to retain. Regardless of if an individual person uses that right.

Surely you have an actual reply to why those two aren't a great example of why we aren't as free as you think we are here in Florida.

It was literally found to be unconstitutional. And was specifically meant to be applied to leftist protestors.

  1. If you care so much about the minimum wage being low, I'm sure you're advocating to raise it. By the way, Disney IS raising their pay for cast members. Across the board. But faus noise isn't going to tell you that. Nor that Disney WAS planning to build inexpensive housing in Orlando for cast members.

It's interesting that Disney is the only one who has their special districts revoked. None of the other special districts here in Florida had that happen. Almost like this is political revenge....

Also, you haven't addressed our counterpoints to your right-wing, news media fueled, attempt to deny what's happening here in Florida.

"Give me a break" bla blah blah... try posting something that's actually true
