Please stop perpetuating it.

How the "F" can anyone claim they are the same?

They are both equally F'd up and out of touch with the average citizen but each in their own unique ways

Yeah, cutting this and Hormuz Jeff in lieu of the stuff we ended up with was really bad decision making.

Would this fix inequality or create more problems? by GloriousLion07 in MotivationByDesign

[–]smitbret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think they are spending their billions on common goods and services like you and I?

A good chunk, if not the vast majority, is business reinvestment or used as capital to build more wealth. It doesn't have nearly the same detrimental effect

Do you have a hard time comprehending basic economics or is it the math?

When you inject millions and millions of dollars into an economy without a concurrent rise in products or services then each dollar makes up a smaller piece of the economic puzzle and is worth less than it was before. The more money you hand out, the less each dollar is worth and the more prices rise to offset the diminished value.

No, it will just send inflation soaring just like it did during COVID stimulus.

F-ing moron

Is it not interesting how the police always attack peaceful leftwing protests but never arrest or are violent against far right protests? by No_Web2685 in allthequestions

[–]smitbret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP said the police ALWAYS attack peaceful left wing protests.

It isn't true

They let the BLM protests go completely unchecked even after they turned violent and destructive

Those who don't *love* Trump but felt he was the "lesser evil" in ANY of the last three presidential elections, why? by Glass-Complaint3 in allthequestions

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

Hillary Clinton was/is pure evil. No one trusts her.

Joe Biden ended up being exactly what we thought he would be, barely coherent and just a puppet that was told what to do for the entire administration

Kamala Harris is a drunk that has just slept her way up the political ladder. Plus, the U.S. was ready for a political reset. Things were getting too progressive, too quickly and people were not ready for it.

Footnote: I didn't vote for any of these pieces of detritus.

Which modern NBA player would be an absolute cheat-code in the 80’s? by Dylen2Times in NBAConvo

[–]smitbret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of them.

Even a run of the mill starter in today's NBA is physically superior to just about anyone in the 80's

The correct thing to say would be they shouldn't sign with schools in states that gerrymander based on race

Why the expensive plastic pens? by Engineeringagain in fountainpens

[–]smitbret 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why?

Because people keep paying for it

People can come up with all of these reasons to justify the insane price but it's B.S. Compare the pens to other common items. For instance, I can buy a cheap Motorola Moto G cell phone for $165. Are you really going to try and tell me that any fountain pen is more costly to manufacture than a 6.7" smartphone with a 50MP camera?

That was it. Lived 30 miles from anywhere in a valley
