who does the work, manual and non-manual for the hardworking small business owners?

would it surprise you to know that small businesses have lower rates of unionization, lower wages, and owners who actively push against minimum wage laws and high taxes?

Making a post on SA about how capitalism is bad is JUST LIKE going to your local Chinese food restaurant and screaming at the managers

I can't believe all Chinese food restaurant managers are forced to read SA posts, how terrible.

I have no strong feelings about SDF but the U.S. was essentially their air force against ISIS for years, and they were not going to get assistance without agreeing to allow imperialism in NE Syria. There's also a historical relationship between Kurds in Iraq/Syria and the U.S. with all of the betrayal that entails

oh whoops, was thinking about him on the first part, but there is a Daschle rule as well

obama nominated daschle to run HHS and be his "healthcare czar" at a time when daschle was a lobbyist government-relations consultant for healthcare entities along with his pal bob dole.

that's not what sank daschle, though; it was that he'd been writing off personal expenses as business expenses or something like that. A month later, when Geithner was found to have had tax issues, he was still able to get treasury bc already people were over the "hope & change" stuff. Also, bc capital wanted him there, whereas any number of toadies could--and did!--serve as daschle's replacement.

nancy de parle ended up as healthcare czar; she was daschle's alter ego and had coauthored a book on healthcare reform with him. Sebelius ended up at HHS.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

you fundamentally don't comprehend what people are giving you poo poo about, and that's not trying to be a burn on you, it's just reality. read more and post less because from what you're posting here you're a bog standard liberal with no self-awareness of your own ideology

"left on everything" is meaningless and individual policy ideas have nothing to do with leftist ideology

no one really knows because the members of the war council where surrender was agreed upon only kept the vaguest of notes and then a couple of the war ministers killed themselves over the next few days

Okay, but you need to be aware that the mom-and-pop shop owners don't share your interests. You see them as hard workers, and they may be. But it's not what they want to be, and it's not who they identify with.

yeah the bomb wasn't dropped with the purpose of ending the war, but the amount it contributed to the decision of the war council to surrender is up for debate
