    What tiny bit of democracy that we are allowed is totes at stake. Trump's administration is talking about regressing us back centuries in this country. Like corporate towns and child labor back. And all because some brain rotted morons are mad eggs got more expensive. Well it just makes me sad, cause they have no idea how bad shit can get for the common citizen.

  • Anychance all the inflation we're are seeing is foreign entities ditching the dollar after seeing the state of things?

    The state of things is the US dollar is still king. We export our inflation because the US dollar is the world reserve currency. Yes there are other states that would be interested in de-dollarizing, but what's the alternative? Flying planes of gold around the world like Russia?

    This unlikely to change in the near future, because there are few other currencies large enough to fill the role and there are exactly zero other countries with anywhere near the military power to maintain reserve currency status.

    We produce more light sweet crude from our oil fields while our refineries are set up to handle more heavy stuff from place like Mexico and Canada. Anyway I believe the bigger issue is refining not raw oil production? Why don't you mention that? Or do you just care about how much black stuff we pull out of the ground?

    I think they are just authoritarians. They just want people to fall in line, follow orders, and shut up. Logical inconsistencies in their arguments or policies? Well fuck you logic is for nerds.

    Don't want to play ball well too bad you're probably a witch anyway. Don't think the Earth is the center of everything? Do not pass go and straight to jail!

    It is kind of impressive how wildly unsophisticated the Trump clan is with their scams. I guess if it works on their rube supporters. What I mean is like why bother investing in a real bearded lady when you can just show them a poorly drawn picture of one and charge the same admission.

    Well you don't see the programs to get men into the sciences because those were like societal shifts. For example, rewarding young male students who tried different things versus penalizing female students that engaged in outside the box thinking. For a more recent concrete example one can look to the field of economics. Women in economics actually face measured animus simply for their status as female.

    You say you want everyone getting the help, but what I hear is a privileged class watching another class get more equal treatment or rights as somehow bringing you down.

    Yeah, good point. They should also be totally attracted to older men and if they are with a younger guy less critical of their immaturity. And hair that is like normal hair but doesn't clog up the drains.

    Corporations tried out binding arbitration and the people just took it with very little complaining. So why not keep eroding consumer protections or the other rights citizens fought for in the before times?

  • If there was a game show like are you smarter than a fifth grader, but instead it is are you smarter than previous President George Bush Jr. and twice impeached previous President Trump is the first contestant would Trump win? So basically who is smarter the 43rd or 45th?
