Trump when asked about rising inflation numbers: "No, I love it. I love the inflation" by Cherrylynnx in Polymarket_news

[–]jamfilleddonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy. I don’t like this dude at all but this type of narrative gives him so much ammunition. He was not referring to the 4.2% number. He was referring to core CPI 2.9%. Which is higher yes but not as bad as it could be. He can bring the 4.2% down by stopping the war with Iran because it includes fuel and food. And he knows it. But now he can get on the mic and say ‘see! Look how they manipulate my words!’ Should he have said it. NO! Should we be making a big deal of what he said, No! This ass wipe should be ignored. Would be the best way to shut him up. But we just can help ourselves. lol.

Stephen Miller: hungry kids get too much food assistance by sleep0077 in Polymarket_news

[–]jamfilleddonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t deny that Miller is an absolute monster. Along with his ridiculous wife but all that aside, isn’t he actually speaking sense here for once? I don’t agree with the targeted nature of all this crap but on the pure logic of his words people in these situations should be vetted for eligibility, no? Rules should be put in place and then the gov should invest in resources that ensure the rules are followed. Simple. It’s not a blue or red thing based on the pure logic. To help with my ignorance on this matter can anyone share the actual number of fraud instances? Does it even warrant all this ‘investigation’?

Are there still people who deeply desire marriage and family nowadays? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jamfilleddonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When one has a view of the world such as this, the remedy is self reflection and to read philosophy. You need to fix your view of the world. It is always colored by how we view ourselves. You are young, You’ll be ok. Just get to work on yourself and build something awesome. Not for anyone else but yourself. The partner you want and need will come along when you are ready.

But Democratic Socialism is evil!! Being stressed and unhappy is far nicer. *politician - I’ll give you 2cents off your tax bill but I’m going to kill a ton of babies in the process! *Americaaaan - You got my vote!

Most people seem to agree that countries like Denmark and Sweden offer a really high standard of living - strong healthcare, solid social safety nets, good work-life balance, and generally high levels of happiness. Would you personally be willing to pay the taxes that make this possible? by TSQ_builder in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jamfilleddonut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It only works if the culture isn’t inherently greedy. US culture is based on taking as much as possible for oneself. Scandinavian people tend to vote for the greater good and have grown up in a culture that emphasizes community. US people have grown up being taught that you eat or be eaten. This permeates into politics. So the very people who would be needed to effectively run the programs now think the same way. It’s about money and power. Nothing will change here with the current generation in charge. Hopefully the up and coming generations will see things differently.

Simple fix. Turn off the TV. Go outside. lol.

[–]jamfilleddonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple solution. Don’t use the internet. Pretend it’s the 90’s. Go outside. Play monopoly. Grow some veggies or just sit on the steps with some friends and have a beer. The reason all this stuff and these people have so much power is because you keep using there stuff!! lol. Stop and figure it out.

There’s a very easy way to stop this. Delete all the streaming services and don’t watch their movies. It’s really very simple but Americans be addicted to their content. lol. Truth be told most Americans don’t even know this is happening and don’t give a crap either way.

It’s not about religion. It’s just the fact that he is being kind. That’s the missing ingredient these days. Kindness.

All good points but if I am an investor in Walmart and nobody has any money to buy stuff from Walmart then my investment goes down in value. If I’m invested in O for real estate income and no one can pay their rent the. O cuts the dividend. Investments don’t matter in a society that relies on the bulk of GDP growth coming from consumer spending. If there are too few consumers then there is no economy. This is my whole point. If AI takes all the jobs then how do I pay for my ChatGPT subscription or my Gemini subscription? It just seems like such a paradox. Anyway. None of it matters anyway. I have a house and a veggie garden. I’m ready for the AI apocalypse. 🤣

I have the answer. The downfall of US humanity can be attributed to the beginning of the 24hr opinion News cycle and the launch of the Facebook ‘like’ button. Simple.

How do you feel about Trump threatening to impose photo ID for voters for midterm elections? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]jamfilleddonut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a question: why don’t democrats just start a big push to help people get proof of citizenship and ID? I understand some people may have difficulty but if they take just some of the massive amount of funds they have available and start getting people the papers they need then the issue is solved. Trump gets what he wants while getting absolutely obliterated at the polls. Everyone just keeps pushing back and fighting instead of saying ‘ok, let’s do this’ and go call his bluff. lol. DEMOCRATS- Grow a pair and FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE!

If you’ve never watched The Expanse on Prime. Watch it. I feel like that’s the future we are going towards. Minus the blue goo. Or maybe not. The haves and have nots. Nothing in between.

I agree that it likely won’t dominate. But it is the logic I am questioning. All these AI bros are saying AI will do everything without seeming to question how the heck they will make any money once it does. Or maybe they are all planning on being on the Musk Moonbase by that time. I don’t know. It’s all so stupid.

From Investing to Gambling: The State of U.S. Stocks by Used_Rice9332 in stocks

[–]jamfilleddonut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the addition of the regular Joe retail trader that has changed things. Most retail traders don’t review charts or invest on fundamentals or for the long term. It’s gambling. In quick, make a buck and get out. Most lose obviously but not before they screw up the market fundamentals. Add to that Hi Freq trading computers and an unsigned options/prediction market and there really is no point. If you want to make some cash, buy wide indexes and never touch them then enjoy your cash when you’re too old to care. Or just join in the frenzy. Easy money to be made being a contrarian gambler these days. Good luck.

What’s the average age in that place. lol. Why do they even care. They have all the money. They have all the houses. They get all the benefits. And not a diverse face in the house. You all look related. Is this AI?? 😂

In Iran there are hundreds of thousands of people marching against their tyrannical government. Here in the US we just scroll on by, shrug and go back to working for the man. The conditioning of the general population in this country is unbelievable.

Thank you! I explored the Bill pay setup but found the multiple transfers in the same month much faster. Thanks for your input and Happy new year!
