@the_P_God We’re forgetting that a huge part of health nut culture is natural=better. It doesn’t matter what the science says because science is being used to make you unhealthy and unnatural. Same thing with GMO fruit.
@crowley_gavin@GenesisModding@james_e_b_@11thDayEmperor The way the gulf stream artificially makes Europe livable in the winter the Humboldt Current from the arctic makes Southern California have the best climate in the world. North and South is only a small part of climate! Maybe not on your little island though!
@james_e_b_@11thDayEmperor You cannot name one because it doesn’t exist. You have the elderly dying by the score every summer without a wisp of flame, so maybe focus on yourself playboy
@LeftFieldMask The use of the term shithole is just a dog whistle. If he’s even been to these places, this is just a list of cities he’s seen black people or Mexicans in public.
@MKaylaUltra Just make it for life at that point. Having an expiration already doesn’t work for public service lobbying restrictions as it is, and the gravity of the decision to serve should be higher for anyone who thinks they’re entitled so soft corruption as a retirement program.
@idobadtakes Doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be aggressively taxed on his fortune! The idea that we have to be so impressed by resumes that we can’t tax high achievers is absurd.
@ettingermentum This is completely backward thinking. He did an $800 billion stimulus in an era where a trillion dollars was seen the way the guys in the Manhattan project thought the bomb might incinerate the atmosphere. They think that NOW, as I’m sure Obama does, but then it was fantasy.
@mattyglesias why has this has become some debate about the moral desert of billionaires and not why they shouldn’t pay taxes?
Let’s remove the concept of desert, and say you earned a billion dollars flipping burgers. You should have a high tax burden no matter how you got there!
@skooks The story has been 5-1 being a violation. Would be very strange to see them reverse course on that and say it’s a win. I think we need to pressure the party to do better, but I also think it’s unhelpful to opine on a failure that has not yet come to pass as if it’s destiny.
@Noahpinion Is this not kind of true? If you’re someone who works a middle class job and matches their 401k and buys a house you’ll likely be a millionaire by retirement.
@dhaaruni The “real answer” of course is to get money out of elections, but I ask Santa for that every year and get jack shit. If we’re playing the game we’re actually in, it seems we should spend money to combat the endless stream of propaganda their network has wrought.
@dhaaruni I think dismissing the reality that the “other side” is being paid handsomely to make partisan slop full time that “our side” does not invest in is a much bigger issue than Hassan. Having a “Dem Rogan” isn’t the answer, it’s having 1000 mini rogans like they do.
