Bloomberg is the only potential Democratic nominee that could have made me vote for Trump and nothing he’s done since then has changed my mind.

certain portions of the forums discussing invasion and bombardment of N Korea in terms indistinguishable from the most racist of chuds again.

anytime Biden failures come up in the news, it's what the weirdo vote blue no matter what losers revert to. how to invade the world.

Like Atrocious said house ownership being a very class and race based thing was a major component in hamstringing any threats to that. Preventing class solidarity by creating an artificial 'ah but you're a HOME OWNER' extra badge for the right sorts to wear was a very conscious thing that they just kinda abandoned in favor of milking more rent out of people for a little more.

i don't care what an obama advisor says.
people get passed over for jobs by the boss's neighbor's grandkid's dog walker all the time, i only care when it has a negative impact on our country.
i don't care what 'the other team' thinks. "oh, but the other party and their supporters will say 'blah blah blah'. nobody should govern based on potential twitter reactions.

I fully agree that it's an easy/wise move to not do poo poo like hire your relatives. i just don't find it noteworthy if there's zero impact on america's well-being.

i always kind of thought that it should just be illegal to hire family members for any job, kind of like how it's not allowed for family members of people who work at the lottery commission aren't allowed to play.

One of the most baffling things about the current moment is that the system could be very easily stabilized by doing a modest wealth transfer to ensure the middle class has at least some foothold into the next generation. You don't even have to stop loving over the poor or deal with racist institutions like the police. If around 55% of the public is comfortable enough they'll rationalize the system and work to keep it going regardless of how hard it fucks over those at the bottom.

And the rich are throwing that away because they have to have *all* of the money instead of *most of it*. They need those last precious drops of blood held by the middle class no mater what and are probably going to destroy the world trying to get it.

i mean this is the inevitable outcome of having a landed gentry class

the people who build the class have investment in it, they teach their kids and grandkids to have investment, but after so many generations the only thing that matters is wealth for wealth's sake, they view their systems of prosperity as things that weren't built, but that always existed, and will always exist, with or without their intervention. a perverse tragedy of the commons

I'm not sure, even if they cared about the idea of placating and stabilizing a middle class, that they would decide its necessary to do anymore. There was a time a long time ago they had to put on a show of competing with socialist systems by giving people things, but I think everyone is pretty comfortable now in the incredible power of the security state, to rush full speed ahead to a brazil/india future, with no fear of anything resisting it.


I think they're right, too.

All holidays are made up bullshit but Juneteenth is at least a more significant event then Colombus Day or Presidents’ Day.

Even Christmas is bullshit because Jesus wasn’t born in December, and New Year’s Day? Might as well
