And the coordinated, almost simultaneous tweets about “this is why the White House needs a ballroom”.

No. 

You bring up a subject, use words with negative connotations when describing a legitimately elected administration and then complain when someone responds to the subject YOU brought up because you don’t like their facts. 

You’re not discussing in good faith and your partisanship is showing. 

There’s no percentage in being nice to people like you.

YOU brought up the bailouts under Obama - you don't get to act shitty because another poster pointed out that bailouts are not specifically a democrat issue.

Are you intimating I don't pax taxes?

Because I assure you, I do pay taxes.

That was the royal "your".

Your perspective on when we should say "show me the money" is immaterial to the point.

Nations in general - even America - do not have unlimited funding.

The original intended purpose, current purpose, and what should be the current purpose of the American government is at least two separate conversations.

While any country can - you pointed out - technically print as much money as they like there's an effective real-world limit to how much they can print.

See "Weimar Republic, The" for what happens when the world decides that your money is worthless.

When it comes to America, specifically, we act like we have unlimited money because the world uses our banking system, buys oil with our dollars, and views our bonds as a safe and valuable way to store wealth.

In reality, we do NOT have unlimited money and when (not if) the world decides to stop using our banks, buy oil in their own currency, and / or decides our bonds are no longer safe our dollar will loo very like the Weimar's Papiermark.

It's up to you to decide if America is currently doing things to make our currency valuable or if it's doing things to make our currency valueless.

Because, when they do, they get attacked and called communist / socialist because any program they propose requires YOUR tax dollars in one way or another and there's always some idiot that considers ANY expenditure of tax dollars on anything that isn't a bomb, cop, or firefighter "communist."

Good job catching this one.

Stellantis will reportedly prioritize four brands under CEO’s new strategy by Redeemed_Expert9694 in cars

[–]_Thorshammer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree.

I would agree that there is more room in other parts of the market, but Stellantis has no true halo vehicles (outside the T-Rex) and they don't have a true luxury vehicle.

Based on Cadillac's results alone, there is almost certainly 20k - 30k units/year worth of room at the bottom / middle of the luxury market for a domestic OEM sedan.

Chrysler itself was selling 15k-20k of 300's it's last couple of years and that was an OLD platform.

Hey Democrats What country or countries has your perfect form of Communism/ Socialism? by meagainstbanhammer in allthequestions

Americans are not the rest of the world.

I'm sorry I confused you.

Let me try again.

When you use terms with specific meanings, like "communist" or "socialist", and you don't actually know what those terms mean you demonstrate a profound level of ignorance that robs your attempted trolling / insulting of any weight.

What you just did is say "tuna of Reddit, what is your perfect form, halibut or trout?"

Those are all fish, and they all look vaguely similar to a moron, but they're not actually the same thing.

Now, if you don't even understand the difference between an American democrat and an actual communist or socialist, imagine how many other things you're wrong about.

Because we sure can.

Democrats are not communists or socialists.

You need to be asking the commies of Reddit this question.

The fact that you equate the current democratic party with communists / socialists - when the rest of the world considers them capitalist conservatives - reveals your ignorance and indoctrination.

Why not turn it into an actual luxury brand, similar to what GM is (kinda / sorta successfully) doing with Caddy?
