    Curious on your thoughts on this bill. What are the positives? I can’t weed through all the “millions will lose healthcare” (which is horrifying if it’s not done with precision to only remove those who are abusing the system) rhetoric so I’m interested in learning what the positive is? Tax free OT? Seems lame. No tax on tips? Sounds like it was written by someone who never worked for tips. 
     

    Not being argumentative; honestly curious what the pros are to the bill from someone on the other side of the aisle I respect. 

    I wish I could give you an answer. I don’t trust Washington republicans to get anything right. I just prefer their brand of ineptitude to that of Washington democrats. I do know that the fear mongering from the dems is standard issue. Republicans want to kill children and make old people choose between cat food and medicine, blah, blah. Been playing that tune for decades. I don’t know how anyone still buys it.

    Many reasons. Developing nations don’t have the capacity for a welfare net, or even basic services. They do not have the same trade agreements and access to the global market. They don’t have the purchasing power for goods like medicine and raw materials. 


    I enjoy conversing with @Orlando Buffalo because he argues in good faith and doesn’t resort to digging up posts from two years ago as some kind of “gotcha”

    Sounds like you may have an aversion to assorted comments you’ve made along the way. That’s too bad.

    Okay, why do you think certain posters on this forum find it so funny? Obviously they wouldn’t have posted it if they didn’t think so 

    The same general reason you found your comment regarding “bread mold” interesting/clever/edgy/witty? Unfortunately, as with the pets wisecrack, it was none of those.

    Since you asked:

     

    No. I don't call this one racist. It is playing upon a meme. That meme has been shown to be untrue, but if you don't pay attention to the source, it could have come from a Jimmy Kimmel or some similar comic making fun of the made-up story about eating the cats and eating the dogs.

     

    So yes, just a wisecrack.

     

    Not like KBJ doing a little dance rather than writing a reasoned opinion, which is, in my expert opinion, simply and clearly racist.

    Thank you for your input. I can now rest easy regarding the edgy tweets/posts/comments of the last couple days.

    Can you explain what makes it funny, specifically? Like why is this funny to you? 

    Attention to detail is critical, young progressive person. Please look at the very first sentence of the post you quoted. If you struggle to find it, it reads “It’s not funny”. This renders your questions above, at least for me, moot. 
     

    Calm down on occasion and you won’t seem so clueless.

    “Durrrrr the Haitians eat DOGS”

     

    I guess I’d find that funny too if I had the IQ of bread mold 

    It’s not funny. It’s just a lame wisecrack. For some reason you find it racist. Then again, you’ve fessed up to thinking 50% of the people you encounter on a daily basis are racists. That can’t be fun for you. 
     

    Speaking of lame wisecracks - bread mold? Is that supposed to be clever? Maybe run it past Frankish.
