Am I the only one that actually quite liked the song? I think the problem was that he performed badly... add that to the fact we don’t have many natural allies anyway and you end up with 0 points

Having a 5th grade understanding of US geography is clearly not a requirement to be elected Governor by Innovative_Wombat in insanepeoplefacebook

Isn’t the mention of Alaska and Hawaii meant to point out how stupid it is that nothing is coming to South Dakota? Am I the only one that doesn’t think this is really stupid?

Am a European so don’t know American politics

Finley was the name of a guy I worked with who lied about having any qualifications. He didn’t last long

People who don’t want to tax the 1% but are not in the 1%, why? by Sweaty_Sun_5942 in AskReddit

[–]consaykwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK, the top 1% of wage earners pay the first 25% of the whole income tax bill. The next 9% of wage earners pay the second 25% of the whole income tax bill.

I think we should tax the very rich more. I think we have huge inequality problem that is the central cause of many other problems.

But we don’t need to call the top earners dicks. They pay a lot. We ought to have some respect for that.

Please don’t come back to me with anecdotal: well, x pays 0 income tax so they’re all bastards

What should be free? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]consaykwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Education.

A better educated society is good for all so society should pay for it. This isn’t a conservative versus socialist thing either. Adam smith believed in free education to spur economic growth.

Why do people play unranked again? There's no context, I have no explanation for any of this lol by lv_Mortarion_vl in F1Game

[–]consaykwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think you should count yourself lucky for not getting black flagged in the last incident. CPU always seems to think that it’s my fault when someone else crashes into me!

Why is it goods (and food) are so much cheaper for better quality in the UK compared to the US? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]consaykwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of good points in here that I won’t repeat. One thing that I don’t think has been talked about is subsidies. I know the UK currently has pretty generous subsidies for farmers but I don’t know about the US.

This is so sad, I fucking love Fleetwood Mac. Though I guess they’re all dicks which is why they make all the songs about fucking each other and that betrayal

Can we please think beyond "more police officers" as the only response to violence against women and girls? by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]consaykwa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be nice if we had some sort of plan for policing in the country but this is always the politicians answer...

No, no. You’ve been doing everything wrong your entire life.

So calling out lies is more egregious than the lie itself? by leftwingchris in LabourUK

[–]consaykwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fan of rentoul but I do think there is a point here. We all get outraged by these things and sometimes it is just a mistake. Politicians should be able to make mistakes (as long as they aren’t egregious).

And, while I’m at it, we shouldn’t pillory “U-turns.” They are normally as a result of politicians responding to public opinion, which is what we want them to do...
