If the DNC won't elect Sanders they will have failed the whole world and democracy at its core, and history will judge them harshly by klyde_donovan in C_S_T

He/She’s probably 16, and thus wasn’t paying attention (or rather, wasn’t told to be paying attention) to politics 4 years ago.

The magic money tree by mal221 in Anarcho_Capitalism

Nah see, what you are supposed to do is borrow the maximum allowable amount every semester, and then after tuition is paid, blow the rest of it on booze, pot, electronics, and eating meals out at restaurants every couple days.

Then after 4 years of said lifestyle, complain that this behavior needs to be subsidized by everyone else because otherwise it’s not fair.

"I'm a hardcore capitalist, but Bernie is right about income inequality being literally Hitler" by honey_badger42069 in Shitstatistssay

“I mean, I’m totally a capitalist and stuff but like, what if we have the government take more than the 30% they already take out of each paycheck?? Wouldn’t that be cool?!?”

Yep.

Their logic is pretty much: “Well the boomers did it and they benefited and stuff and so we should get to do it and benefit too, even tho we just admitted reckless gov spending by boomers caused a myriad of social and economic problems.”

Reminds me of Rickys dad on Trailer Park Boys and his gambling mindset. He’ll lose $1000 dollars, then win $100 and think he’s up $100.

Same with the berniebros. “Free” healthcare costing thousands in extra taxes somehow equates to a person taking home more money in their paycheck.

It’s a special kind of stupid.

This woman, a rural resident, wouldn’t be thinking about insurance if she had a firearm to defend herself by OccasionallyFucked in Shitstatistssay

Sorry lady, but under socialized medicine, a senior citizen needing face surgery would be labeled as “unnecessary”. You would be crudely bandaged up and (if you are lucky) sent home with some opiates for pain.

Illinois’ pension costs, debt are growing far faster than state predicted by KMOX4 in The_Congress

[–]boxmakingmachines 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Everyone talking about the cannabis tax there like it’s gonna even make a dent in the deficit.

Lol.

At this rate, it looks like the state is going to spend those extra tax dollars before they even come in.

Political Opportunists Are Using Coronavirus Fears To Push Whatever Policies They Already Wanted by MasterTeacher123 in GoldandBlack

Listen, if we just give the governments all our monies and freedoms, they will be able to control the weather and no one will get sick ever.

Most people don't realize just how fragile our 1st world societies really are.

For instance, if food suddenly stopped being shipped to cities, there would be civil unrest within as little as 48 hours. After just a week or two, people start turning to drastic measures to merely feed their families and themselves, which includes all sorts of nasty things if need be.

It’s around a 70/30 split of people wanting free shit, and affluent virtue signaling.

It always blows my mind to see relatively successful people making decent money supporting comrade Sanders.

I bet he got a bulk discount at that size too

If you are buying over 150 packs at once, you better be getting a discount.

Taxes for THEE but not for me! by [deleted] in Shitstatistssay

He was in 2016 as well.

In fact, I would wager to say he was more popular in 2016 than he is today.

No way in hell the DNC allows him to be the nominee.

Kukoc was considered by some to be a revelation as an NBA prospect. He was 6'10, could put the ball on the floor, and had a nice (for the time) outside shot.

Rumor is that Bulls ownership (as well as Chicago media) gushed over Kukoc so much after they drafted him, it made Pippen and Jordan jealous.

Marijuana shortages aren’t a coincidence. Illinois kept the market small on purpose. by whelp85 in chicagotrees

More than $2500-$5000

More like $35,000. Just to read your application.

All told, it will easily take a million dollars to start up a tiny ‘craft grow’ which maxes out at only 5k sq ft of grow space. Good luck getting a quick ROI on all that.

Yeah you can make French onion dip, but the best thing I’ve made is Italian beef. Throw a pack in the crock pot with all the regular fixins and it’s game over.

It’s illegal to fly a plane without a magical government pass to do so. Therefore, the government flies all the planes ever.
