I don’t think you really have to go very far back. Since I was old enough to remember, I heard basically every adult say that they voted for the lesser of two evils. Maybe it wasn’t as overt then, but it was definitely the mind set.

Google it isn’t proof, but thanks.

And this is exactly why Republicans yell about people abusing the system.

Just adding to what you said. She denied people medicine and medical care because it was “godly” while receiving said care herself.

Where’s your proof from a reputable source?

Your info is right, but the last two sentences are uncalled for.

That was condescending. They likely phrased it that way because they thought the other poster didn’t know. Not that they just found out. You were rude.

Good for him. Take them down!

This has some “written in blood” vibes. We have absolutely killed people by working them too hard.

I’m in. Freaking do it. We need to have some strikes.

No, I know it’s not mutually inclusive. I just think that profit is going somewhere. It’s not just hanging out in the ether. Maybe it’s not execs, sure. Maybe it’s someone else. But someone is absolutely taking the money that every day employees should be getting.

I have a very hard time believing that.

Look, I know it’s idealist, but corporate profits are at an all time high. C-level execs make hundreds to thousands times what their lowest level employee does. It’s disgusting. The greed and their assumption that we will just let them continually be more greedy is disgusting. Maybe they don’t need all that. They can actually pay their employees better. They choose not to because we have barely any social nets in this country, what does exist can be really hard to get, and people have to eat and have a home. They prey on desperate people, hide behind the idea that minimum wage is "supposed to be for teenagers, and refuse to entertain the notion that they are the problem.

That’s so cool. Technology has come so far.

Either communism or socialism. Both are the Republican boogyman.

For the extra lazy, 1.8 trillion was spent on individuals and households through various things such as the stimulus checks, increased food stamps, unemployment, retirement, and child care grants.

1.7 trillion was spent on businesses. “A recent analysis by the economist Michael Dalton found that every $1 in wages that would have been lost without the Paycheck Protection Program cost $4.13 in relief money. Because the program wasn’t narrowly targeted — virtually every small business in the country was eligible — it benefited some companies that didn’t need the money, and loose fraud controls allowed scammers to skim off billions.”

I didn’t think they were brown…

It’s so pretty!

Right there with you. I almost exclusively use bags. Maybe loose leaf once in a blue moon if it looks really nice, but that’s also with the metal ball thing which is basically a reusable bag. 😆 Not to mention, my usual black tea is Lipton and water at 84c.

Then how about don’t engage and move on?
