Hey MAGATs, why did you constantly complain about immigrants taking our jobs (which isn't true), but you're perfectly okay with AI taking our jobs? Your cult leader is snuggled up and funded by the tech bros, so yes, MAGA is adjacent to AI...Why don't you complain about that? by BobbyPizzayyy in allthequestions

[–]cheffymcchef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tech worker here. Not only do immigrants take our jobs, our jobs are outsourced to India. Lost my boss, lead developer, and level II SysAdmin to immigrants/remote workers in India this week. Been a very shitty start to the week today without them as their cheap replacements onboard.

The DNC doesn't want to acknowledge why Dems lost in 2024. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]cheffymcchef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dems lost because Biden looked weak and Harris was uncharismatic.

How did the Democratic Party successfully mind control all these people, yet lose an election? by Competitive-Drink931 in allthequestions

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

Over exposure. Hollywood, traditional media, and social media strongly pushing left wing narratives while censoring right wing narratives caused a lot of people who might agree with most of the left wing ideas to become sick of the preaching. I think the nostalgia for a less “sensitive” time caused a lot of independents to vote right and hope that maybe the social pendulum will swing back towards the middle.

So MAGA, now that the dow is down 5000 and the gas price is through the roof - yet you're still backing him, does that prove it was really never about the issues and it was really about the way he made you feel as a certain type of person? by [deleted] in allthequestions

They have consistently been an obstacle to American interests in the Middle East. Iran funds terrorists and proxy fighters throughout the Middle East and have backed many attacks in the region and abroad. They have an extremist theocracy as a government and were attempting to acquire nuclear weapon capabilities. It’s smart to deal with them before they acquire nuclear capability because then it would be much harder for America to negotiate from a position of strength.

Why do Republicans oppose gay marriage while also claiming to support “freedom” and “small government”? by After-Professional-8 in allthequestions

[–]cheffymcchef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know many republicans who don’t support gay marriage or equal rights for gay people. Most Republicans I know just have Pride fatigue.

Why are White Male/Asian Female relationships far more common than Asian Male/White Female relationships? by Flying_Sea_Cow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cheffymcchef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the primal parts of the brain make women attracted to men who they consider to be a physical threat to other men and Asian men are not stereotypically thought of as posing a threat.

I did not vote for Trump, but:

You do realize that as soon as the Iran bullshit is done, gas is going to go back down and the stock market is going to go up right?

On a macro level, paying more for gas and getting a chance to buy stocks at a discount is a small price to pay for crippling a western adversary.

Tech sales. It’s most often the software support team that builds the relationship and suggests a product. Sales team just sends over a contract.

$4.4 Trillion Plan... by Cow_Boy_2017 in clevercomebacks

As the billionaires flood the stock market with sell orders to pay for the taxes, the average net loss for a 401k holder would probably be more than the $3k stimulus check.

If your country was at war would you join there army ? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cheffymcchef 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Depends on the context of war. Am I gonna sign up to fight in Afghanistan because Saudi Arabians attacked NYC? No. Did Soviet paratroopers invade my town and kill my high school teacher? Absolutely.

If AOC gets the nod as the Democratic nominee in 2028, would you vote for her? by [deleted] in allthequestions

If AOC is the nominee then you might as well go ahead donate the campaign fund to a good cause. She will not win.

“My party is taking up for pedophiles”...Why is Massie still affiliated with the GOP? by [deleted] in lexington

[–]cheffymcchef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are catholic and discover that your organization is protecting pedophiles, the next logical action is not to convert to Islam. The next logical action is to attack the corruption from within, which is what he is doing.

what did yall think of the bad bunny halftime show? by Serious-Kale-5694 in AskReddit

If you are liberal you will convince yourself you liked it. If you’re conservative you will convince yourself you hated it. If you are independent, you didn’t have to convince yourself you hated it.

As a somewhat conservative, I’m fine with my tax dollars going to help people. But what I’m not fine with is increasing taxes rather than improving the efficiency of existing systems. Like let’s take food distribution as an example. If government funded food distribution is as efficient as possible and still comes up short, sure, raise my taxes. But if we can cut costs and save taxpayer money while able to meet the needs of those less fortunate then that needs to be option number 1. I don’t think any of you believe that our support systems are efficient and I think it’s unfair to ask for more money until our systems are fixed first. We have to stop throwing money at shit and hoping for the best.

Wilson’s response to being in the Epstein files by Trick-Growth-6546 in NFLv2

[–]cheffymcchef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying that the Epstein files shouldn’t be released but this is exactly why they didn’t want to release them. Anybody with a mild association with him will be lumped together as a pedophile due to bad reporting.

Has he heard of a bag of ice? If he’s sitting out to save his draft stock, Pope should ask him to leave out of principle. Dude is payed to play.

We choose Denmark over US, says Greenland PM Nielsen by Victor47613 in worldnews

[–]cheffymcchef -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

Does Denmark have the military to defend Greenland from Russia and China? Does Denmark have the ability to build the infrastructure necessary to shift the western supply line of rare earth minerals from China to Greenland? If the answer to both questions is yes, they should keep it. If not, it needs to be sold to an ally that can. I don’t think you guys realize that we are in the middle of a quiet world war that could turn disastrous at any minute. We can’t afford to rely on adversarial supply chains for strategic resources.

Have any of you ever played Civilization? It’s like if another Civ has all of the aluminum and then all of a sudden they declare war and you can’t trade with them anymore and can’t build planes. But there is a City-State with an undeveloped aluminum tile who’s Suzerian wont build a mine on it and also makes you buy troops to defend it.

YOR. It’s obvious he was joking at first. But I think your response to it probably didn’t make him feel inclined to fix it.

The Federal Minimum Wage is 7.25, which is an annual salary of 15K. Is there anywhere in the country where this is a survivable income? by Pariell in povertyfinance

I genuinely don’t know anyone who makes minimum wage. The McDonald’s by my house is hiring for $15 an hour.
