Nah. Then they’d just be embarrassed they had been pushing a book with such a woke lefty agenda. Some might even learn that they can throw away most of that commie stuff in the later parts of the book, and just keep the juicy bits they liked in the first half about how men are in charge, and slavery is okay so long as you follows some rules. Oh, except Revelations. That part rocks, let’s keep that. In fact… Let’s make it happen. That would be so sick.

/s (even though I really shouldn’t have to)

Shit, I’d do that job for minimum wage, if only to see Musk fired.

Sure, but that quote calls it a “virus” but the headline says “fungus”.

Is this lasagna?

I, for one, thought this was a reasonable take.

What else do people expect you to comment? Like…

Neat.

Or…

Thoughts and prayers for the driver and his family.

?

What discussion can a post like this garner except speculation? And to preface your speculation with an acknowledgement that the story has no real details… seems fair to me.

If you think growing up in a conservative household guarantees a kid becomes conservative, you didn’t grow up in a conservative household.

Billionaires now control 1 out of every 25 dollars of American wealth.

1/25=4%

According to Google, there are 735 billionaires in the US, and the US population is 336,269,260. That makes Billionaires about 0.000002% of the population.

And they control 4% of the wealth. (And that’s probably not counting money they have hidden and sheltered.)

For reference, 4% of the population would be 13,450,770.

So 735 people have as much wealth as would be held by about 13.5 million people, if all wealth was distributed evenly. So each billionaire would be worth about 18,000 people.

But, it’s even worse in our current distribution:

Due to this influx to the very top, these 800 individuals now collectively control 1.5 times more wealth than the entire bottom 50 percent of American households, who share $3.7 trillion between 65 million households.

And, since money is free speech, that means these 735 billionaires have 1.5 times the voice of 65 million people, the majority of Americans, combined.

We’ve gone full oligarchy.

Yeah, as a leftist who likes guns for fun, survival, self defense, and theoretical political unrest… I still think it’s ridiculous we don’t have gun licenses in the US. Or a gun ownership registry.

Bans restrict freedom for everyone.

License and registration lets you maintain that freedom for most, but still restrict it where necessary (e.g. crime, mental health), and more easily track and punish those who misuse firearms.

Nah, I think that’s Mason Verger.

I think the problem is inflation and stagnant wages. When you get paid a living wage, but a teacher is making peanuts, it feels wrong.

It’s not that you are getting paid too much. It’s that most people are being paid too little.

Eww! No I don’t! Take it back!

Prediction: Starbucks resolves the issue by raising all “milk” product prices to match the most expensive option.

I used the lottery for the same reason for a long time. Then they raised the price and lowered your chances to win even further.

Also, seeing people win a “$1Billion jackpot” and take home less than $400M after taxes, meanwhile multiple billionaires can be shown to pay $0 on taxes… It’s pretty disillusioning.

“Donald Trump is a scab.”

Trump would be a scab, but he’s never worked a day in his life.

But second girl only ever sees how first girl acts when she is around (regardless of who else is there). That’s how perception works. She can’t see how first girl acts when she’s not there, because she wouldn’t be there to see it.

Didn’t return your grocery cart? Straight to jail.

Say what you will about the game, but IRL does a decent job of switching up the meta on a regular basis. Though it’s pretty frustrating when you figure out a decent strat, and then next season it’s useless.

Pretty sure they are referring to average annual temperature. The winters may get colder in some areas, but the summers are getting hotter everywhere, and to a bigger degree. So the average temperature will continue to trend up.

On a tangential note: I propose we ship the top 1% wealthiest people to Mars and make them colonize it.

We can send all the life sentence and death row convicts with them.

Sure, but there’s also cost to the state to be considered.

That said, the common methods for execution used today are surprisingly expensive.
