It just means the ruling class made investments in things they haven’t figured out how to capitalize on quickly yet. Really they should be able to switch quickly and drive the market… But propaganda is shackling them to stupidity.

There are very few rich people in the U.S., there are far fewer smart rich people’s in the U.S.

There is no one who is worth nothing, money doesn’t decide the value of a person. Granted yes, the team wasn’t playing for profit most likely, so to the team, there is no gain from them getting injured but a plastic trophy and memories.

I think one of the main things that we need is to get a group of people together to write up an actual health care plan that covers all Americans and show that it costs the same or less of what we pay now. Then drill it into everyone’s heads that they are being stolen from and cheated every day of their lives by our current healthcare system.

The people who think we have great health care options need to realize we aren’t in the top 40 countries in the world for keeping a kid alive to 1 nor 5 years old.

The number of white women are around 3x as likely to die during a pregnancy/birth than those in Canada or the UK, and the reason I say white is because black mothers are around 6x more likely to die.

We are paying far more than anyone else in the world for healthcare and I would call the service we receive for our money absolute dog shit.

If we could get the population to agree on that, we can say fuck the Democrats, fuck the Republicans, fuck their entire existence being to divide us and trick us into voting against our best interests, but anyone who is going to walk into congress is going to put forward the healthcare bill exactly how we wrote it with no changes or we throw every person in Congress out of the country permanently and put new members in the next day.

“But the insurance companies” <- fuck them, they are out of business, the legislation was the permanent insurance for everyone, you don’t need to pay someone every month, you are already paying it out of your taxes

Why would it be more of a luxury? Fuel and maintenance should be cheaper, and with proper investments the cars should be cheaper as well. A lot of the battery research right now is showing batteries that could last say 1,000,000 miles. If you get decent standards for such, you could have parents getting a new car and moving their old battery into a cheap EV for their teenager. If it had 200,000 miles on it, they can keep moving it to their next vehicle, and next vehicle if they keep wanting to get new features. The average American drives 14,000 miles a year. In theory they can pass that battery down to their teenager as well, but at that point it’s probably better to just recycle it or use it as a backup generator for the home.

Making repairable, recyclable, reusable batteries takes one of the largest costs down by a long shot.

Notre; Obviously batteries don’t last miles, but for sake of this discussion it made sense to put it this way

Yeah but if someone worth tens of millions of dollars gets permanently injured, tens of millions of dollars have been lost, maybe more for the team. If a kid worth $0 gets permanently injured, there is another one on the bench, and the team has lost nothing.

Also I’ve never seen a dog try to make lamb-puppies

Yeah the Aussie I used to have would heard my chickens as well. Was worried he’d kill them when I first got chickens… But walked outside one day and saw he had hopped the fence to their run and was laying in the middle just watching them peck around him. Never worried after that

It happens to soook many people. Thousands-10s of thousands of people a day. And not all of them are complete idiots, they are just stressed out/worried about some shit in a rush and make a mistake. You get a convincing enough email/text/call whatever and they call the number listed because they are worried someone got into their account.

Shit, I think I saw an article a couple days ago saying roughly $16 billion dollars were scammed from people in the U.S. like that in 2024 alone.

Very often the person who got scammed realizes right away but soon as that person that remoted in presses whatever button it’s done. If they aren’t paying attention, that $5,000 in Apple gift cards was bought with your face ID to verify it, the activation code was grabbed from the email they delete the email and end the call. They immediately redeem the activation code on a random Apple ID they have, and it’s a race to use those funds up before the person scammed realizes, gets a hold of Apple, and apple flags the purchase and freezes the account it was activated on.

Even if all the funds are still on the Apple account and frozen… The person who got scammed won’t get that money back I don’t believe. Apple profits from that purchase, why would they want to lose that sale. People buy Uber and other such gift cards as well. And not much is done to stop all these people getting scammed

Id like to look that up but I don’t think it is enough to go off of. Do you know anyone who was on the show or what show it was? Maybe even just the channel might help. Searching Trump fake numbers basically returns the result: yeah

I like this response, but now I’m wondering what the beaver question was…

I’m hoping for a small handheld unit that has cellular. As someone who doesn’t use Nintendo usually, basically a mini-switch2 with cellular that I can install my own os (maybe steam is, not sure yet) I won’t love it

Edit: mobile is only mobile if you can walk with it, if it doesn’t have cellular, it’s a cordless phone. (Maybe I’m old, but cordless phones can’t leave the living space and work)

I had my LG Rumor2 at that time, but that was just me. It fell out of my pocket going 45mph on a highway, survived… I opened a cooler at Sam’s club and the moisture made the screen no longer flip and die. It was sad, but I enjoyed every phone I’ve had… Each has their pink sun glasses. But I must say… Never have I sat a flagship on the shelf and just used a phone with a cracked screen that is only 1/5 the price till now. I spent to much time focused on what features were, and the last year I have learned what use is like. I see 0 reason to use the pixel 9 pro, when it maybe runs laps supposedly around this. I had to change settings to make my spouse (Samsung 24 user) even able to think that phone was usable. (She doesn’t want gestures, there are no dock buttons by default).

Force quitting an app is like figuring out thermodynamics… As someone who studied thermodynamics. Rediulous

Kennedy is a huge part of the problem, but MAGA weaponizing/turning vaccines and healthcare into political topics unfortunately started long before anyone thought Kennedy would ever hold any position. Basically when Trump thought he may lose office his team tried to flip the script that the vaccines, he pushed for, and the lockdowns he started were somehow only because of Democrats. By 2022, near any conservative you talked to were saying Biden started the lockdowns and Trump never pushed for vaccines. And Kennedy wasn’t even in the picture yet for most people.

That was my first thought as well.

I don’t go anymore, but really as someone who wants to get out of the house more, I can 100% see it being as a good enough reason to get out of the house.

There is zero chance I could accurately provide this information to anyone, none of my family members could, because they don’t know the phone numbers I’ve had… All around it sounds like a shit idea.

Probably, my questions would pertian to what wealth could you get a majority of the population to agree on taxing, and how much.

It’s easy to say “I think we should put in wealth taxes” it’s hard to get people to agree that above $x dollars and for y% is what would be needed. Many Democrats would agree on wealth tax of 10% over $300 million. A lot of progressives would say that is far to little and to high starting entry, but if you shift those numbers lower/higher you would lose chunks of the population agreeing, and ultimately destroy the possibility of it being started. Which to be honest getting it instituted first, then modifying it seems like the easier thing to do, than launch i high enough tax to fix the issues up front. You’ll lose all the corporate democracts, and essentially have 25% voting for it at that point… making it a dead end

Sorry mate, I’m sure I’ll give up after a few more shots, it’s a dumb task

Hopefully it’ll shit itself eventually, until that day, it’s like living in the hate musk thread. Guys shit, will never have the warmth or depth to be a cunt, but really I don’t need to hear about the fucker every day.

Edit: To add to that. Since this account was created, the man has amounted more wealth than the lower 50% of the U.S. owns combined. ~200 to ~500 billion. Yet we are worried why we can’t afford a fucking dinner for the family, and skipping lunch

Things I shouldn’t have said for 200 Alex
