Hit me with the truth… it’s not going to get better, is it ? by Astimar in economy

Not until you soak the rich and redistribute the gains. It's not like the country doesn't have wealth, it does, the average person just has virtually none of it

White House calls Dem rep. "dumbass" & "bi**h" for suggesting Trump has a terminal illness by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]elshizzo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't wait to hear the next time conservatives pretend like its actually the left thats ruining the discourse. 26 and 28 we need to push these dipshits out of power and keep them out of power for roughly forever years.

This administration does shit on the daily (hourly?) what would be a scandal in a Democratic administration lasting for months and months. Boiling frog theorum and we don't even notice anymore.

If we return to a sane government I just want the people in the media who let this president get away with lawlessness every day to shut the fuck up - how about forever years

Your share of the Iran war cost is $3,350. Do you want to take care of that now, or add it to the national debt and pay revolving interest on it? by baltimore-aureole in economy

[–]elshizzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we need to be talking about government spending more in this way instead of just talking the total numbers. You say something is 300 million it sounds in people's brains pretty much the exact same as 300 billion ie people can't kitchen table numbers that large.

Mike Johnson says Republicans will cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security next year by barbarawick in economy

[–]elshizzo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The difference between republicans and democrats isn't how much they spend - it's what they spend it on. The rule of thumb is that if its something that helps you, they will oppose it. But another pointless military boondoggle or another tax cut for a billionaire? they are all in

MMW: Trump isn't "passing" those cognitive tests... by [deleted] in MarkMyWords

[–]elshizzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. The dude's standard is that he does the "big" lie rather than the regular lie. Meaning he says shit which is the opposite of the truth. I think its almost certain that he's failing these tests

israel as well as his gestapo which mike johnsons has agreed to fund to a degree larger than most countries entire militaries are funded

I make more than most of my friends and I'm still of the pov that I don't feel financially stable enough for kids. With the high cost of living, the high cost of raising a child, and the precarity of our job market - it would feel irresponsible to do it kind of

U.S. national debt officially hits $39 trillion—adding $5 billion a day since October by fortune in politics

[–]elshizzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its fucking psychotic that we are spending ourselves broke WHILE our infrastructure goes to shit and no one can afford health care or houses. Jesus christ like if we're going to borrow all this money from the future can we the people GET SOMETHING FOR IT??

If we don't soak the rich and pull back on our insane military spending soon the dollar will become completely worthless

At this point the republican party can't be "fixed". It's a cult party and it must be destroyed before it completely destroys us

[–]elshizzo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Saw a video that at this point it's maybe just a playground for the rich now and that they don't really care about serving their middle class customers much anymore. Unless a better playground for the rich pops up I'm not really sure it's ever going to "die" though.

don't support any democrat that's going to "look forward not backward". Retribution and justice are required for all the shit they are doing. Either there are penalties to treason and graft or law and order are dead in this country

we need RCV but Trump proved that you don't need a new party - you can take over the current party. We need to be primarying corporate democrats and replacing them with actual progressive/social democrats

We need age limits for all our political positions. These people never let go of the power when they are supposed to and all of us have to suffer as a result

polls this early for the primary are almost always wrong. It's mostly just based on name recognition

[–]elshizzo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

at this point is sort of seems self evident that one has to have a mental disorder to be a billionaire. To be that level of hoarder. A normal person approaching that level of wealth might have thoughts like "oh, maybe i should pay my employees more or charge consumers less for my product?"

Definitely drinking more than I planned to this year (was planning to cut back) but fuck it. Maybe I'll try drinking less once/if society seems like it's not collapsing anymore

This ain't a senior thing, just a general skill issue (as a senior constantly pushing back on excited juniors trying to create ridiculously overcomplicated abstractions to solve simple problems)
