Owlofcreamcheese posted:The courts are still lawful evil instead of chaotic evil and concern themselves with supporting frameworks that help republicans instead of just deciding individual cases in their favor. Exactly. If the courts allow Trump to use a state of emergency for his dumb rear end wall it opens the way for Democrat presidents to bypass Republicans to fund their own projects. A ruling in Trump’s favor on a state of emergency would allow presidents to basically bypass other branches of government on a whim and that would be catastrophic for the health of country

Look, some people just deserve to have mansions and yachts and slaves or slave equivalents while the rest of you just need to pitch in and do your part and hope you can put food on the table for your children.

That OxFam inequality report shows that 26 people each have the same amount of wealth as ~144 MILLION PEOPLE in the poorest half of the planet's population.

theblackw0lf posted:This is really the secret to Dems success, as AOC shows, and now we see with Warren. The best thing is that now that everyone is talking about a 70% marginal tax rate on 10M+ you can now “bargain” down to like 60%. I mean I think it should be much higher than 70%, but my point is 60% is better than nothing should 70% be genuinely too much to pass. (Alternatively, everyone realizes that 70% over 10M is too low and demand say 50% over 1M because gently caress the rich, and then everybody stood up and clapped and Einstein becomes the next President of United Earth.) It’s like putting a thing on Craigslist. If you want $100 for it you don’t ask for $100 cause now everyone lowballs you with offers for $50, you ask for $200 and then you “generously” accept $100 because you are “feeling nice” today.

Honestly this is the first time since the 2018 elections that I've actually started to feel a faint glimmer of hope rather than overwhelming despair when thinking about politics. Sure things still suck but it seems like people are finally getting fed up with it and there are leaders starting to emerge in politics with actual views for the future that don't repulse me.pseudanonymous posted:Maybe, believe it or not, the failed real estate guy Donald Trump is actually president now, so it might not be. The silver lining to Trump being President is that he's going to be remembered as the worst President in modern times, possibly in history. Imagine how much worse things could be if someone evil and competent had been elected.

The Lone Badger posted:According to modern monetary policy that is literally what happens to money paid as taxes. This is one thing about the economic right. They already base their arguments on the MMT observation that taxes destroy money, yet they're adamantly opposed that the government can create anything of value so the rest is a no-go.

Part of the buy-in for these people is the bone-deep belief that their ideas are so amazing it justifies their horrifically disproportionate wealth. They have to believe their thoughts are worth hundreds of millions of dollars or the whole game falls apart, so naturally, it's impossible for them to ever shut up because they are absolutely certain that whatever say will be mind-blowing and profound. It's basically the modern manifestation of divine right.

/\ yeah, A lot of them spend 99% of their time around people who they either pay the salaries of or who directly financially benefit from them so you better believe most of them have zero exposure to serious criticism. Hell, even serious disagreement for that matter
