Is this actually a thing where rich people actually hate each other and just marry off to each other for status' sake. That seems hilarious.

I have personally witnessed it.

Historically, widespread plagues are one of the most effective conditions to shift power to the laboring classes.

Is that because the ruling class tend towards being older/frailer?

So someone explain things to me - seems Biden picked up more than Sanders. Two questions - was it enough to overcome his lead, and is Sanders done?

good lord people

The Obama administration wasn't great, and quite lovely in a lot of ways, but there are orders of magnitude of difference between Trump's administration and Obama's, as well as their legislative and executive priorities.

I mean for gently caress's sake, right now we are living through a pandemic crisis where a lot of people are going to be infected and die because Trump shut down the pandemic response team started up by Obama.

And let's not forget Trump using the Antiquities Act to try and reduce the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase to open them up to drilling, monuments Obama himself expanded.

And there's pardons, which Trump used to help war criminals, politicians, and bankers, as opposed to Obama pardoning a huge number of people with drug offenses.

Healthcare I shouldn't even need to get into—because as lacking as Obamacare is, it's still helped a huge number of people and is something Biden wants to expand, whereas Trump has flat-out tried to get rid of it.

LGBT rights, which the Obama administration expanded and protected, and Trump has tried to shred and reduce (Like the ban on trans servicepeople)

And even if their efforts were far, far less than what was needed, the Obama administration at least tried to address climate change, which the Trump Administration has not only ignored but outright accelerated.

And this isn't even getting into the hordes of judges and political appointees who have spent their entire time in government trying to tear down the system from the inside.

Biden isn't great, and I'd rather vote for Sanders. On climate change especially, he's woefully short. But Biden is better, far better, than the motherfucker who's in office right now who's trying to tear down every advancement this country has made since 1916. Let's not loving forget that.

the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile.

Proud Christian Mom posted:

$35-25 is the break even range for US producers, and they definitely trend more towards the higher end. Virtually everyone in the industry, at all levels, not named Exxon or Chevron are leveraged so far out of their rear end and has been pouring cash into dividends and stock buybacks(like the rest of the market) that they cannot weather this at all. Cash is king and most of these people do not have it.

Its also worth noting that the majority of offshore companies have already collapsed due to the 5 years of unprofitable operations. There are very few left so things could get really interesting
