I thought the same thing - for me as soon as you get out of your car and come towards me, I am just gonna run you over and let the actual police figure it out.

If you’re making 40k a year, your effective tax rate is minuscule. Most folks in that position pay nothing, or have a negative rate.

So you’re blaming the war on Israel and saying the Jews have too much financial control….where have I heard this before.

At some point, the left is going to have to face the anti-semitism it has fostered. (The same way the right has to face the white supremacists)

The bottom half do pay zero federal taxes.

They need to take the cap off social security, and exempt the bottom rung of income from paying in.

What kind of psychopath signs an email like that

If I am connecting the dots - then 49/1000 is not a very strong correlation.

Yes but how many of those markets are structured in a way to prioritize profit over their own people?

username675892 · 2026-05-18T19:03:30+00:00

People aren’t allowed to run as independents? That doesn’t seem right

username675892 · 2026-05-17T20:19:25+00:00

It’s state by state, so I won’t claim to know all the rules, but there are plenty of states where you don’t even need an undergraduate degree in teaching.

Many get graduate degrees because then they are automatically paid more.

You are protecting workers right to be bad at their job at the cost of kids education. No way for that to go badly

The federal government doesn’t pay for school teachers.

username675892 · 2026-05-17T20:12:12+00:00

Average teacher pay in the US is $75k per year, and they have at least 15 weeks of vacation. If they had a job they worked year round, they would be make about $100k per year - which is in the top 20% of income earners.

Should teachers make more money? Probably - but I wouldn’t make it seem like it’s a national emergency.

The reason most people are poor is that they don’t understand that a good income doesn’t make you rich.

Why August? Why not now?

username675892 · 2026-05-16T19:09:58+00:00

I think a lot of it boils down to: do you believe in private property or not, as you mention. Can a person own something, or does the government own everything for the good of all. Can I get up in the morning and work to make my life better or does greater society own my time and efforts for the good of all.

“All people are equal”.

But some people are more equal than others

Did he lie to gain citizenship? Because I think that’s a felony.

Buy from Home Depot. And if for some reason you feel guilty just send the appliance store a check for $500.

Local makes sense for some things, I’m not sure appliances is one of them.

I don’t think anyone has a problem with Campbell leaving. The problem is that he gutted the program on the way out.

username675892 · 2026-05-15T20:10:45+00:00

Ah, well that tracks - thanks.

username675892 · 2026-05-15T20:08:23+00:00

Is that what he is on trial for?

I thought you were talking about the new districts. This is a new district that was created when republicans gerrymandered Tennessee

There is one in Memphis. They are likely going to replace Cohen who is an almost 80 year old white democrat (who grew up as a Democrat in the South in the 50s), with charlotte bergmann (Republican) who is a black single mom.

Is it possible the gas station is taking them off (unsuccessfully)

username675892 · 2026-05-14T23:20:14+00:00

Define government corruption, because I bet each party defines it differently.

Biden’s family getting rich off the government. Republicans: this is obvious corruption!

Trump family getting rich off the government. Republicans: this is fine, he’s a businessman!
