What is your way forward?
I think giving employees the tools to do their jobs correctly is a good thing, actuallyNot having millions of dollars worth of that tool is really going to hinder these poor civil servants.

Why is that a “win” to you?
I don’t particularly care about manufacturing jobs, because it’s not 1951 anymore. I mention it because of the MAGA obsession with returning to brutal factory jobs.
Because the federal government is bloated and inept. I realize that someone that believes millions of dollars of politico pro subscriptions is a necessary expenditure cannot understand that. Np.

This looks nice on first glance, but the vast majority of jobs were added in the government, healthcare and service sectors. Aka, the sectors about to be devastated by OBBB.
Also manufacturing still hasn’t grown, despite MAGA efforts.
State and local governments. Feds down -7000. That’s a win. Other than that, it’s all just awful isn’t it? You REALLY should have bought the dip.

It is a response to a comment about the allegedly horrific infringements on our liberty from our COVID response.
So I'm pointing out that some of the same people who refused to wear masks then insist on wearing masks now. Albeit for different reasons.
Got it?
It was only about masks. None of that other stuff counted. The stuff like mom and pop had to be shut down but Walmart didn’t. The stuff like “sorry, you can’t be with your dying parent”. All good.

Sorry, I can't help it!
But seriously: some of these things are legal issues. We don't like someone's message. Should we censor it? Punish it? Or should we just live with it, criticize it, but accept it based on higher free speech values.
The question posed to the university presidents was “Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard’s rules on bullying and harassment?” I suspect the president’s would have answered in the affirmative for many other favored groups mentioned rather than Jews.
Hard to believe they lost their jobs, isn’t it?-

What does “destroy our country” mean? I’ve heard this hysteria since the Bush administration.
I’ve heard republicans are going to kill millions since well before the Bush administration. Turns out it’s always been complete bullsh*t.

My, oh my, Oh. My! So many snowflake right wing crocodile tears here!😂😂
I miss the old days when I was a Republican. If faced with this situation they would be rejoicing the opportunity to win the NYC mayor's office and would already be working to make it happen.
Not anymore. Far right is just as useless as the far left. You've lost your spine and honed your whine while hiding in your own echo chambers pretending somehow, your view is the more intellectual one! Guilty until proven innocent. Brilliant!
New Yorkers have spoken. It seems a tad unhinged to make the Mamdani situation about right wing whining. Very odd.

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.

No doubt! I’m still taken aback by how badly dems effed up to lose TWICE to the orange gasbag. Go figure.

No, I have an aversion to people who can’t make an actual argument so they resort to gotcha nonsense like that.I would be embarrassed too. You’ve dropped some real doozies along the way. Such is the problem with cyberspace.

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.

The “joke” is Haitians eat dogs. Lovely racist stereotype you write off as a “wisecrack” because you’re incapable of criticizing your fellow MAGAs heresigh
even the stodgy yet excitable Frankish has declared no harm, no foul on this one. Don’t let that stop you.

Just now, Roundybout said:
Hmmmm, I’m thinking there are some other biases at work.
You are on record as claiming the very lame wisecrack is racist. You have also expressed that you believe one in every two people you encounter on a daily basis is a racist. Those two things mesh nicely. Just run with it.

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 soThe 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.
2 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: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.

I absolutely agree. Just found it odd that you turned it into a gripe about right wingers.
