I’m not calling for a balanced budget. I’m saying “muh tax dollars” is a shit argument.

I agree with this, but also the “muh tax dollars” talking point is full of flaws. We haven’t even balanced the budget in almost thirty years. The government is debt spending. It’s not even “your money” (whatever that would mean because greenbacks are literally state property printed by the state) because “your money” doesn’t cover diddly squat.

They’re printing fresh currency, and handing out bank transfers to the people at the top of the economy everyday because “your money” was handed out twice already.

Let the kids eat for free on the fucking government tab, just like you let Israel genocide for free on the government tab.

Everyone gets a fixed allotment of pencils bro. Isn’t capitalism great bro?

Let’s not go that far. This person got something they deserved. Generally speaking, what someone deserves has little to do with what they get.

Reminds me of the Office: “I thought this was a meet and greet”.

Wow I didn’t know she looked human at one point.

I know what it meant, but it’s been slopped up worse than “fake news”. The right wingers wrapped it up with cancel culture and made it into a fake ass ideology called wokeism.

Now they’re doing all of the shit they claimed wokeism was doing and then some. I give them the label woke right because their charictature of “woke” now describes them accurately, and they also hate the label.

Trump 2 changed the calculus

Almost like they want to…be on the sidelines.

You can have some protests under the woke right regime, as a treat (and so we can ready our next list of people for harassment and kidnapping)

Just another day of Trump wiping his ass with the Constitution.

I feel like he watches TV and his pea brain decides “I think they should have…” Next thing you know, executive order.

There’s a pretty decent probability that this is exactly the case.

I think I’ll let them have the word woke because it was practically meaningless anyway. They’re the “woke right” with their policing of speech, their attempts to rewrite history, etc, etc etc.

Edit: they do everything they accused the “woke left” of but for real… I saw they were even getting concerts cancelled because the performer wasn’t supportive of the Israeli genocide

Oh yes, I remember the great mandate dear leader won on the back of the outcry by the electorate to rename gulfs both here at home and around the world. 🙄

Shart of the Dealy

Look, the CEOs already have the fifth cheapest yacht chef available on their payroll, what are they supposed to do? Source the caviar themselves?

A lot of smaller towns have a downtown area that could also pretty easily be served by public transit.

In fact, that’s how a lot of the towns became towns, they were adjacent to the rail lines.

I don’t remember all of the differences, but I think you’re conflating copyright, patent, and trademark here. Software patents should almost not be a thing, but copyright and trademark should still exist.

I have this on my Honda Fit for fuck’s sake.
