I liked your post for the fantasy only. I just cannot wait until the lovers of personal liberty see the result of going into the projects to collect those poor unemployed for their beneficial national service time.
-
Sure, but we need to accept that it'll be folks with harder hearts than most making the calls. Also, what's the plan for those who just refuse?
-
Then give them a uniform, an orange vest and a white hard hat for example, and at days end pay them based on production followed by a nice inspirational speech -before dinner- explaining the direct life skills connection between their tiny burger and how hard they worked and Maryann's big burger and how hard she worked.
-
You just did judge them and judged they should be. If someone is old and infirm or disabled and are without resources I begrudge not a penny of my taxes paid. However if you are able to work at something but simply unwilling then my sense of humanity begins to slip and I can better imagine helping you by providing a stick with a nail in the end and a bag for the garbage you stab.
-
And then they can beg?
-
No, begging is also an honorable profession and no one is being forced to eat. Until we live in a Star Trek economy where free food and booze comes out of the Gábōōzosandwichafier at the press of a button society won't be able to accommodate institutionalized slothism.

Too bad things are far more complicated at the level of international relations than simple tit for tat by a simpleton will fix. Better might have been to adopt a tax policy that penalizes US companies for the jobs they create in other countries so as to sell their products at inflated profits here in the US. Apple really doesn't need to be a Trillion dollar company, for example, with gross margins of 47% to be an investable success.

They need to get second jobs. We'll be needing lawn mowers and cantaloupe pickers shortly.
-
Totally agree.

If you believe Trump won't budge on Tariffs, right now might be a time to invest in high quality, little used, foreign imports that will likely increase in value on the used market.

I was going by this: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/indivisible-action-1?refcode=web&utm_source=web We did start small, most things do. My thought is that interest and donations will from most will dry up after round one. But no one knows especially me.

Oh, good, Act Blue has sorted out another way to get some coin. A couple hundred thousand angry retired teachers, and similar, spread out over 50 states waving cutesy signs in defense of their pensions and lost public employment ain't the ticket, methinks. I know you are a serious guy and don't shrink from putting your money and time behind what you believe, more than the most of us for sure, and that I respect. I'm just not sure Act Blue is the right organization; we need warriors not worriers and I don't see that they've produced.
-
I'll wait to see if the currently $160 a pair Nikes I wear now increase by much, same with the Apple products I use. Seems to me that both companies long ago priced according to the most the consumer will pay for the brand, not according to value.
-
Sure, but thank the currently popular deity that we don’t have that certified idiot Harris at the helm passing out generational wealth in the form of Gay reparations to any self identified them.
-
Because it's just more useless opposition symbolism it is, well, as useless as a drum roll and a few more chants of Blue Wave, Blue Wave! So what that four self serving assholes saw more value their reelections by making a vote that goes nowhere and does nothing. The Democrats need to obstruct, obstruct, and obstruct some more all while telling the country that the whole mess is the fault of Dumb Ass Trump and his enabling Republicans in the house and senate. Unfortunately Bookers leadership will likely be soon forgotten.

Proving that physicists can be funny, CERN scientists have claimed discovery of quantum entanglement in sheep.
-
And you are right, absolutely. The sad reality however is that racists got us here, by and large. The only real chance, beyond martial law, that Trump has of a third term is by running as vice-president. Unless his brand is severely damaged in between now and then, and even that's a cold comfort at best, the cult will again be out in force. We need some 6-8% of them to win. Just the way it is now, offensive that it may be.
-
Except the assholes are happy about it: collateral damage is all the poor bastard is and the clear message in this and all else they do now is be careful and stay quiet or you could be next.

Ralph was out of date and should have quit 35 years ago.
-
Horseshit. It's El Salvador, give a bag of money and get him back now.
-
It doesn't work for me and the reason is obvious: too many racists won't give him a look. They are empowered now, a fact we ignore at our peril. The Democrats were stupid to run a black women against the biggest political threat of our lifetimes knowing the risks and the risks are even more severe now. We need to leave our better selves behind, hold our noses, and pick someone acceptable to at least a small percentage of the bubbas.
-
All according to the playbook too many are too slow to see being used as a template. Just because they're evil doesn't mean they are too stupid to have studied what works. The public will need to rise up to fix this, I fear. Hey, I know! Seeing as how our retired Special Forces folks are too busy deploring the situation maybe I can get all of us retired Arizona Challenge jumpers to march on USPA Headquarters. That'll show we're serious.
-
Didn’t Trump tell his cult that they’d only need to vote one more time?
-
I'll hit my studies again, but like the 2nd Amendment, the right to vote seems a matter of court cases not explicit language like freedom of speech or religion for examples. So as long as precedents are respected things will seem as they do. That said, if it weren't a right by precedent and evolution then why would this bill have been introduced in 2021?

That's nice. So any anybody given the right by another document gets mopped in if they're 18 and some color. Please direct my attention to the part in the Constitution of the USA that explicitly does enshrine a right to vote.
