šŸ«Ø it happened!

Iā€™m sick?I donā€™t love my neighbor? You think you can talk to me like Iā€™m a monster?

Not getting rid of ec :: because I believe that itā€™s too easy to sway public opinion one way or another and there should be protections in place for communities that are smaller than say, NYC.Ā 

Not increasing the minimum wage :: because I believe that this will cause our already rising cost of living to increase faster.Ā 

Not taxing the fuck out of corps for an arbitrary profit margin :: because thatā€™s a persons entire life. That could be you. It could be my son. It could be the girl at the local mosque who was raised in foster care and worked her ass off to become successful. And then some little ant online thinks itā€™s okay to tax the fuck outta her just because sheā€™s done something with her life.Ā 

PLEASE. Iā€™m begging you please tell my how Iā€™m the monster.

Yeah man Iā€™m all for killing monopolies. Hasnā€™t happened, wonā€™t happen. Money drives the world, those monopolies are spending a considerable amount of their time and money lobbying the gov to make it so they can make MORE money, not less.

Now. If we also get rid of lobbying and make it a federal offense or treason to manipulate the legislative branch for monetary incentives, we got something.

Damn now talking like normal people is privilege. No wonder everyone else is fucking crazy.

And also thanks for commenting on all my comments. Love you

Itā€™s pretty simple really. Raising the minimum wage will cause inflation to everything else to balance out and we will be right back where we started. People canā€™t afford anything. But now with even higher and overly inflated prices.

Thatā€™s just how economics works. None of that trickle down bs or any other partisan view.

Simple cause and effect, and scarcity.

That was indeed the compromise.

Easier to think Iā€™m a troll than to believe someone could say those words and be serious?

Well Iā€™m not. So strengthen up buddy boy.

No, I get it. You donā€™t know how to have a discussion in which you disagree with the person and default to dismissing them completely instead.

Thatā€™s fine, just own it.

If any idiot here canā€™t tell your being sarcastic, thatā€™s their issue.

But yes actually. Some things shouldnā€™t change. From what Iā€™ve studied/learned we really were the first of our style of government. Itā€™s been successful thus far, when plenty of other systems have come and gone.

Also just because the core of our system shouldnā€™t be changed doesnā€™t mean other things should/couldnt/havent changed. Soooo donā€™t put words in my mouth šŸ‘

You said it best, why try to improve on perfection?

ā€œInsane takeā€ Literally the founding of our country was built off that take.

Because itā€™s not ā€˜incredibly shitā€™ itā€™s just not what you want it to be. It was designed to not allow mob rule. And itā€™s done a pretty good job at it.

Just because something doesnā€™t do what you want it to do doesnā€™t mean itā€™s bad.

Agreed with everything except getting rid of ec, increasing the minimum wage, and taxing the fuck out of corps for an arbitrary profit margin.

But damn. Solid otherwise.
