I heard that there is a monster at the end of this thread… if you stop scrolling, we will not get to it.

Every story like this is some guy complaining "Can you believe 23 people with free will took up a better deal they easily found elsewhere instead of the worse deal I offered them? Entitled pieces of shit".

being a conservative adult is just having to continuously find new ways to put yourself in a crib looking up at a crib mobile to stimulate your mind

WHEN YOU REALIZE THE BABY BOOM WASN'T JUST SOLDIERS COMING HOME HORNY.

It was soldiers coming home to the GI Bill free college, 0% down home loans, low-interest business loans.

It was strong unions. Pensions. A house that cost 2 years of salary.

It was confidence that the future was actually going to be better than the present.

That's what produced a baby boom. Not romance. Security.

You want a higher birth rate now?

Give people a future where they know their kids will actually be okay.

That's the whole formula. It's not complicated. It's just expensive, and nobody in charge wants to pay for it twice.

When Margaret Thatcher made England and Wales the only countries in the world with fully privatised water, the naysayers argued it was a terrible idea. Today, everyone agrees privatisation has been a roaring success.

It has delivered an impressive rise in customer bills which has coincided with an equally impressive rise in shareholder profits. These improvements were delivered through efficiency savings, such as not building any reservoirs since 1992 and forgetting about silly ideas like sewage treatment. Thanks to neoliberalism, turds are now a common sight at our beaches and marine life is not.

If that wasn’t impressive enough, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has confirmed the UK is officially the world’s dampest desert. Three-quarters of the nation has been plunged into drought, despite the fact it constantly pisses down. You are therefore banned from gardening and bathing your children so that data centres don’t go without.

No one knows why countries that contain actual deserts don’t experience the same difficulties we do. For example, Saudi Arabia doesn’t have a hose pipe ban. Unfortunately, we live in a place where the weather breaks everything. Sunshine? Drought. Rain? Floods. An inch of snow? The whole country closes for some reason.

The only weather the UK can actually cope with is grey and miserable. Any deviation leads to immediate national collapse. If we didn’t have such a brilliant water system, we’d be in serious trouble. But thankfully, our system is built to protect corporate profits, no matter what. Everything is secondary to that, including your ability to drink.

Thankfully, Andy Burnham is showing leadership on the matter. He is taking the emergency step of doing absolutely nothing. When questioned about nationalisation, the Prime Minister calmly explained that his donors won’t allow it.

In a bizarre coincidence, the system that allows them to personally profit is the only one that could possibly work. Sure, we could end up with crop failures and food shortages, but I’m sure things would’ve been worse if Jeremy Corbyn had got his way.

Obviously, this is not a systemic problem, it’s a technological one. Virtually all our rainfall is lost because we can’t make pipes that don’t burst. Water companies have absolutely no incentive to stop leaks and every incentive not to, but I’m confident this has nothing whatsoever to do with the matter.

El-Sayed: Now Mike, I'm just going to remind you: if you don't know how to say the name, keep the name out your damn mouth. Or just call me Abdul. But I got some opinions about his name. See, it's very fitting for him: Rogers.

Cause that's his answer every time a corporation or Donald Trump tells him to do something.

"Mike, we need you to put a data center in the backyard." — "Roger!"

"Mike, we need you to hike their prescription drug prices." — "Roger!"

"Mike, we need you to rubber-stamp this war we shouldn't be fighting." — "Roger!"

"Mike" — and this one's Donald Trump — "I need you to lick these boots." — "Roger!"

And I think—I think I speak for all of us here in Michigan when I say that we are done with Rogers. Go back to Florida where you belong!

Tapper: But you sued Stephanie Grisham for defamation, and then you backed down from that..

Miller: That's not true. There was a settlement agreement

Admittedly refreshing to hear someone respond to tired anti-immigrant talking points by saying “Isn’t your president a pedophile” you can genuinely see the Fox host realize he’s made a terrible mistake in real time
