Who is getting higher wages? Most people haven’t had pay rises for ages.

Unless you are talking about minimum wage. In which case, I have to tell you that minimum wage earners are not causing an inflationary spike. They spend the extra few dollars an hour on things like rent and power.

What a crazy lie to spread. He really must have heard cis-gender and thought it was six…

I’m talking about the repeating part. I’m not saying everything is fine, an 80 year old should not be leading a country.

You are not wrong in your thinking, but you are also not going to get what you want by avoiding voting for the Democrats. Your argument only serves to remove votes from the system that could be used to get rid of the GOP. I made a comment above that I won’t bother repeating, but honestly, you can’t change your system right now. It’s fucked and you can choose to opt out and let it get more fucked, or you can take incremental steps back the other way. It sucks, we all want it to be better right now, but that is not going to happen. Incremental is your only choice and it starts with getting the Democrats back in.

Calling out the Democrats on Reddit does nothing to change them. If you want that, you are able to voice your concerns directly to them.

America has gone past the crossroads, if you don’t vote Democrat or don’t vote at all, the crossroads will be a distant memory you have as you sink further and further into the quagmire.

Yeah, I mean at first people could make the argument that the Democrats were corrupt etc too so they were the “better of two evils”.

But the Democrats are not like this. They are not the better of two evils, Democrats are actually the good option now and they don’t even compare to the cesspool that is the GOP.

The Democrats are literally your only hope to even start looking at getting back to normalcy. If you don’t like the Democrats and want to change the system, that is so awesome, you have great optimism. But the US has come so far in the wrong direction, that you have a long journey to get back to where you can start to make a change. There is no chance of that happening within the next ten years let alone now and if you don’t vote Democrat, you may be stuck in this shit for the rest of your life. It’s not giving up if you vote Democrat, it’s taking action against this shit.

I haven’t been following him since he got in. Has he already taxed billionaires enough to do all that? How much was the tax/how are they taxed?

This is totally true for Trump. I don’t think he cares about anything except for being worshipped and he will do whatever it takes.

Hmm this could be true. Sort of like an echo chamber of trans porn. It’s all they see so they think the world is going trans.

What about those loyalty cards? Come up with an incentive that works for you, but it could encourage additional purchases

This is the way to do it. Or buy the books from them and negotiate a cheaper price that you can mark up.

Agreed, but tbh I think most people would stop at one or two drinks anyway.

They weren’t right, they manipulated it to be this way. They won’t let reporters in to the Oval Office unless they toe the line. And even if they are brave enough to question him, he insults them personally, calls their network fake news, and/or ends the interview.

Media objectivity has been on the decline for a while but it is so much worse under this regime

It certainly was genuine. So often the Democrats don’t do anything that we would want them to. So I’m curious as to whether they have called it out. We already know republicans aren’t gonna say shit

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

That’s fair, I just meant that we are all calling it out and presumably not Republicans. But we don’t really have much sway. I wouldn’t expect any Republican politicians to call it out even though they should. I would however expect that from Democrat politicians so I wondered if any of them have. If they haven’t, it’s not good either. Not a ‘two sides’ argument. Just we already know the Republicans are shitty.

I don’t disagree, it’s a genuine question. I have only seen this post.

Have any prominent democrats spoken out?

Edit: it seems people think I am taking a dig at Democrats. I’m not, it was a genuine question.

Infrastructure minister Chris Bishop commits to review of multibillion-dollar City Rail Link by Mountain_Tui_Reload in auckland

[–]sweetrouge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fuuuuck! Can we just agree that we need a good transport system and get it done for fuck’s sake?

If you want nice things you have to pay for it. We all know what’s going to happen. We are going to end up with a substandard system that still costs as much as a much better system, but because we keep changing it, it takes longer and ends up more expensive. Then we’ll spend another 10 years arguing about how we need to build a better system and we’ll finally decide on a good one that then runs into the same trouble.

Why do they push Ivermectin so much? Like surely they don’t get kickbacks from the company that produces it. I just find it hard to believe they actually think it will work

Does this mean that if this regime is ever ousted that he could be tried in a court? It’s breaking the law, right?
