Ah yes. The one mechanic per hundred machines or whatever is totally the same as millions of factory jobs.
Why the hell do these people want to be enslaved in factories anyway?
We can have unskilled labor that doesn’t involve possibly being mangled by machinery.
The problem isn’t the jobs, it’s the lack of jobs and the wage rate not keeping pace with production capacity and inflation for the last 50 years.
I don’t disagree with what you said but there’s not 3.5 billion people in the US. There’s like 340 million.
Destroying the economy and social security may also lead to more direct political action from the populace. If and when it does, I expect to see an attempt to apply martial law. The creation of all the chaos is part of the plan.
This. They do not care about facts or logic unless it serves their agenda. Truth is wholly malleable to these lunatics.
This is the capitalistic ideology in action. This is where it leads, always. It values and incentivizes selfishness above even the life of the planet. Literal insanity.
“National bankruptcy”. We literally print the fucking money ex nihilo.
The last political talk I had with my 70+ year old mother ended with her screaming at me and crying while she called me a know it all for actually having thought through my convictions and having data to back it up.
I called her out for holding a brick in her hand that has access to all of human knowledge and saying all she did was look at fucking Facebook.
Then I get told I don’t know what I’m talking about despite knowing very well what I’m talking about.
These people are demented
There is almost no greater wedge issue that could have been used to shatter the left.
Congress has the power, they just refuse to use it. The legislative branch was given the most power in the constitution, which they’ve ceded by being unwilling to actually do their jobs. They could take all that power back whenever they wanted of they had spines and morals
Amazing how the party of small government, who said Obama ruled by fiat like a despot, is immediately acting how they claimed Obama did.
That’s… not how tariffs work. No one externally is paying anything. The customer pays.
In case anyone doesn’t know, you can download all of Wikipedia of you have 120GB of space. You can download a whole bunch of wikis straight off Kiwix.
I refuse to let the fascists control knowledge
These people both need to sit down and have some empathy for each other.
They could be growing stronger together through their struggles rather than making it some competition about who is worse off. (Which, in this case, the guy has started by not empathizing at all)
My mental health struggles in no way invalidate someone else’s struggles.
I hate this kind of divisive bs.
This is the hostile attitude they were talking about
