Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

That's why Obama enjoys 60+ percent favorability :rimshot:

can you have it explain whether or not comm badges are actually required to get a transporter lock or not?

no

any time it seems like its reqd, its because maintenance/ota system updates/superstrings and exotic garbage matter have made the system temporarily wonky enough that its not safe enough to lock on w/o the certainty of a comm badge signal

I think Ellison will run in my lifetime, but I don't expect it in 2020.

Gabbard will get crucified (justifiably or unjustifiably or more likely both at once) on foreign policy if she runs, so it would really come down to whether anyone does in fact give a poo poo about foreign policy beyond the usual vague platitudes about terrorism and being opposed to same.

So here's an interesting article that posits Trump is ruling like a 19th century forgettable president in the 21st century. Now what I think is funny is you read this article and shy l see how much v mote powerful the Presidency is today and you have to just scoff at the idea that Obama just didn't have the power to do what he wanted.

I think that picture looks OK. More natural than her campaign pics by far.

BTW, looking for her campaign photos, I found a delightful article - What Higher Ed Marketers Can Learn From the Hillary Clinton Campaign
https://blogs.ou.edu/webcomm/2015/08/14/what-higher-ed-marketers-can-learn-from-the-hillary-clinton-campaign/

These are the things Hillary did that should be followed by professional marketers:
- She created a Spotify playlist! "They’ve actually worked with Spotify to create branded playlists, like the “Team USA” playlist. I love it when marketers do this: They take something everyone is excited about, and they show their audience how they’re excited about it, too."
- She used Snapchat!
- She used Snapchat again! “Yaaas, Hillary!” Back to that Snap for a sec: Who really thought the U.S. Secretary of State would embrace this affirmative rallying cry of millennials everywhere? I’m talking about the “yaaas.” Hill, look at you speaking the language of the youths and nailing it."
- She had a custom 404 page!
- She used emojis and only one font!
- She had gifs! Clinton understands. "We love GIFs. They make us laugh, break up the monotony of our Twitter timelines and remind us of our favorite pop culture moments. When used at the right time, they have the ability to elevate a tweet or Instagram post to Internet gold."

So remember folks, if u want to become president, make sure ur campaign uses the most transparent, out of touch pandering methods in existence, and you'll be golden.

The show was on tv a couple of weeks ago while I was bored so I thought I'd give it a shot, it happened to be the Hillary episode and I was foaming at the mouth because of how bad it was.

Actually the economy was tanked by bad mortgages that were then dived up and mixed with good mortgages and then sold as AAA rated (by bought off ratings agencies) investments. You also had issues where the financial companies were all insuring each other creating a domino effect when one went down. If the problem was just people not being able to pay for their homes it wouldn't have tanked the world economy like it did.
please be careful how you frame this problem. the problem was much more bankers making terrible loans as bankers are prone to historically do more than people being unable to repay the loan.

Also the real economy died on its arse and has continued that slide while we have moved onto the going into debt so you can disburse it to a taxi app stage of capitalism.

also the problem is even worse than this. the entire economic system incentivized a profit motive everywhere (including fraud, deceptive ratings, willful ignorance) that caused actors to behave in this terrible aggregate way. if you didn't behave in a way that resulted in terrible loans, then you were punished by the system.
