see ever time there's a wage increase, and Fox finds a "small biz" shitlord to say "they're closing"

note theyre often in the process of already closing or have already closed months or years ago.

The wonderful and good thing that smol business owners here did was to go to the media and complain that they couldn't find anyone to work for them, even when they offered above starvation wages! and that's why the government should immediately open the floodgates to migrant workers whom they can exploit.

Redditors went digging and found that the business in question had never actually advertised for staff at all, let alone with whatever inflated and likely imaginary benefits they'd been touting.

If we do not elect Trump president we are all going to die is true. It's one of the few true things he has ever said.
Of course, it's also true even if we do elect him president, but still. "Death is certain" is a factually correct statement.

one question to ask is, if pressure to make the bad loans came from the government and not the banks, why were the independent rating agencies willing to sign off on all the mbs as investment grade bonds if the banks were being forced to make loans they didn't want to?

Twitter seems to be just a firehose of right wing propaganda about the Iowa event right now. It looks like the 2015-2017 era bots are back too. They're really loving obvious to spot with all the emojis and accounts full of retweets. Meanwhile with the Biden hash tag it's impossible to find a single positive tweet about him If anything it's more blatant than even in the years surrounding the 2016 election. Both the Trump and Biden hash tags seem to be trending in exactly the 818K territory as of this post. Almost an exact 1:1 ratio :thunk:

Weirdly DeSantis hash tag seems to be turning up just actual legitimate news stories about him so I don't think he's getting any boosting from anyone. This one might not even be Elon since I believe DeSantis is his guy not Trump.

The current GOP talking point is that 'woke banks' are the problem now

In fact, apparently DeSantis said that 'woke investing' caused this collapse but of course did not give any details

They've seized on large companies talking about ESG for good PR as kind of a corporate version of CRT. It's just as meaningless as their critiques of CRT. SVB board wasn't entirely white men so therefore had gone "Full ESG," and therefore failed.

Also the Community Reinvestment Act was forcing all those poor banks to make loans to unqualified minorities who'd never been able to make their payments for reasons that are totally not racist! It was Carter and black people all along!

And somehow a law that was passed in the 1970's just waited until 2008 to explode for reasons.

I had a discussion with my libertarian brother-in-law and he cited a government document that said "the CRA had little to do with the subprime boom and subsequent crash," because "little" meant there was some connection there.

I think that was the last time we seriously discussed politics.

Fox Business host Larry Gargamel: "Lord knows what other left-wing romping was going on in these smurf banks. By the way, San Francisco Fed head Mary Daly is considered herself to be quite a smurfster!"

Gargamel: "Where were Mary Daly’s bank examiners? You know, Mary Daly, I hate to get personal but she is known as a smurf Fed head, probably the leading smurf."

"That's what they all say!"
I can't imagine what kind of person would think like this. Or want to think like this. He's thinking that the problem with Catholics today is they're too hopeful.

Dare We Fear That Most Men Be Damned?
Modern Catholics live under the assumption that Hell is mostly empty. But doing so radically impacts our ability to fulfill the Great Commission.

https://www.crisismagazine.com/opinion/dare-we-fear-that-most-men-be-damned

This is a incredible read.

quote:

Yet when the inclusivist viewpoint became predominant in the 1960’s—and was essentially endorsed by Vatican II—missionary work crashed and participation in the Sacrament of Confession dramatically dropped, disappearing into the mists of history. Pell’s question is a fair one: aren’t all these things connected? Pondering its consequences, he came eventually to question the dominant inclusivist viewpoint in the Church.
Count the obvious fallacies in just this paragraph. I count two: questionable-cause and an irrelevant appeal to consequences.

quote:

Again, some might argue that such a “negative” attitude could lead a person to become condemnatory and harsh toward others.
No kidding! (His attempted counterargument to this is unconvincing.) Forget about other people: how would holding to a massa damnata make people's attitude towards God change?

quote:

In recent years Bishop Robert Barron popularized von Balthasar’s teaching, making it more accessible to the Catholic world, and Barron’s own loose evangelization methods (such as saying Christ is the “privileged way” as opposed to the only Way and not encouraging Ben Shapiro, who is Jewish, to convert when given the chance) have only strengthened the assumption among modern Catholics that most will be saved.
Bishop Barron should have told Ben Shapiro the truth: only adults over 5'7" can be saved.

If catholics are worried about saving people’s souls, they should get on what to do about the billions who died before Jesus was born. All those cavemen burning in hell because Jesus hadn’t been invented yet.

They'd be about 2,000 years too late for it. The Harrowing of Hell is far too metal a name for an obscure point of doctrine.

Though I will grant you that the sort of person who believes that their family are the last five genuine Catholics on Earth and therefore they are the Pope probably has a few things to say in contravention of it.
