God rich people are stupid as hell

Just offer a tiny fraction of your Scrooge McDuck fortunes as UBI and you'd be worshipped as a god and capitalism would never end

one of the ways socialist spikes (ex. medicare, new deal, etc) stabilizes capitalism is that it actively takes away money from rich people and allows new blood to claw the way to the top

if these spikes don't happen, the money just starts getting passed down to the new generation of rich ninnies, who don't understand this concept until it's burning down their mansions

as presented? no, it doesn't have enough pay-fors.

republicans want to use reconciliation so they only need 50 in the senate, but it has to be budget neutral to do so unless turtle can wrangle the votes to override the parliamentarian which is not guaranteed.

just to be clear, I agree with you that they're all terrible people. But if you think Rick is an admirable hero, you're a moron who doesn't even understand the very clearly presented message of the show. If you think House is an admirable hero, you're taking the shows presentation of him at face value.

I just finished binging R&M over the past two weeks and yeah he's obviously a complete rear end in a top hat from the start. poo poo he explicitly says multiple times throughout the series how he doesn't give a single gently caress about anyone but himself. How could you miss that until just now?
