Among many, many other things our current administration big-brained leadership is getting wrong is that "OPEN 'ER UP THAT'LL FIX IT ALL ZOOM BANG RIGHT TO THE MOON" is not the loving answer because it is not looking at the problem. A HUGE portion of the country is looking at wicked long term symptoms or outright death and saying, "Ya know, maybe going to the theater to catch the latest blockbuster isn't that important."

This problem is running Wile E. Coyote face first style into the half century plus of 100%, absolute supply side *everything* at all levels of government, media, social conditioning and on and on. Demand side anything has not been allowed to step outside of the realm of stuff like obscure economics degree papers that are labeled as kooks and fringe whackos in that half century plus.

Now, whoops, demand side everything had what can be charitably called an accidental general strike and is still massively slowed down in the "recovery". Turns out an economy that is like 60% (totally rear end-pulled number) a service economy actually has a demand side component, only there's almost no methods in the halls of power to address that problem seriously. The $600 unemployment was a complete panic reaction solution using the thread-bare apparatus laying around that mostly kinda worked for it, but now we see McConnel('s donors) digging in their heels and looking to sever that lifeline.

Cool Zone here we come.

75% of our GDP comes from us spending money on stuff

How is not voting for Biden anything other than essentially supporting Trump? He's the only one that benefits as far as I can tell.

You should just argue about buses going to Colorado then.

I think our system needs to be change at a fundamental level and it needs to happen now but I have no idea how to make this happen. Entrenched interests and opposition to change will stymy every attempt.

The House and Senate are unable to pass anything and the executive will be hamstrung by that and be stuck trying marginal change through EO. Local level politics are where its at.

I am convinced that we killed Bin Laden in a very boring way like a drone strike and just used this guy as a patsy. They just flew around afghanistan for a few hours while telling him they were going on a super secret mission into pakistan and then let this dude mag dump an already dead corpse knowing full well that he's too stupid to NOT write a book about shooting bin laden.



the dude can't figure out how to wear a beanie with ear pro. Also note that the other dudes have their plate carriers under their jacket but chest rigs on top of the jacket. Not this dude though.

not just a seal, seal team six or whatever their current cover name is

But I still think they trained him wrong, as a joke for the sole purpose of being a patsy. Best way to prove you killed Osama is have a seal write a book about how he shot bin laden and then sue him because he's not supposed to talk about it.

Yes but Biden and Harris are not the ideal candidates who are not progressive in any way so naturally we must reconsider if voting is even a worthwhile task and :words:

Seriously ever since Harris was a lock it seem like everyone I know online has been complaining about how the election is just another lesser of two evils contest.

The election is not between a centerist liberal and a centerist conservative.

It's between a conservative Democrat and a loving wannabe Hitler.

lmao you're loving dumb if you don't get the irony of that comparison. the german version of conservative dems gave hitler power because of scary socialists

"Hitler required the vote of the Centre Party and Conservatives in the Reichstag to obtain the powers he desired. He called on Reichstag members to vote for the Enabling Act on 24 March 1933. Hitler was granted plenary powers "temporarily" by the passage of the Act.[86] The law gave him the freedom to act without parliamentary consent and even without constitutional limitations.[87]"

My grandma(babcia) was deported to a Siberian work camp by the Russians because her dad was a land owner and former military officer. She's always said Russians were behind anything that went wrong in the US. Then her rear end in a top hat friend tricked her into going with to early vote for Trump before we usually help her vote. I've hid a lot of the news from her since then since it's not her fault she'd been had.

She thankfully only experienced the Russians so she thinks they're the worst people that ever lived.

i mean what type of land owner because that can mean anything from small plot to plantation worked by serfs

I'm of the opinion that you should lose the vote when you lose your cognition, but then you get the tricky question of where to draw the line(needing a guardian is a good one tho) and how to test it and make it consistent (guardian isn't good for this, afaik they are relatively rare because courts are reluctant to order them for olds)

it wouldn't be that hard to impliment either, just a basic spelling test or something like that

I'm starting to be concerned only those of us making the Jim Crow jokes are getting them, so I'll just say it: cognitive or educational tests as a condition of voting was part of Jim Crow.

If you're worried that some people are too stupid to vote, figure out how to educate them, and how to outnumber them.

plus anyone old enough to have severe dementia is already set in their ways enough to determine who they vote for, or their vote is approaching true random when combined together so it doesn't matter anyways
