Death is actually very expensive, it’s just not the dead person that foots the bill.

Depends on the beans. Some taste really good on their own, others are very bland.

Fully agreed. Stuff like, you have to work for the government park corp and clean up parks as your job for the next year is a form of sentencing I could agree with. I don’t agree with random company 400 getting to use you as a slave being your sentence.

I think people are allowed to say that slavery is bad even if we benefit from slave labor. It’s not like shit is labeled, and even if a product is free from one form of slavery there are still so many types across the world it would take a global effort to get rid of them all. Isn’t it better to at least acknowledge the problem?

Fully agreed. The authoritarian institution of shareholders and CEOs makes large companies prone to arrogance and short-term decision-making, democratic control of these large companies would make the economy much healthier.

:P can also be more neutral than happy at times, which is a nuance that the emoji lacks.

Gerrymandering is a bad thing in a fair democratic system with political parties that believe in democracies. When one of the parties doesn't believe in democratic principles, it is good to remove them from power, and gerrymandering towards the Democrats has that effect.

He and the Republican conference look so ridiculous that it will diminish the Republicans' election chances in 2024. Voters don't want abortion to be banned and feel iffy about January 6th, so there's a strong chance that 2024 will be dismal for Republicans.

Why is censorship the answer? Can't parents and the educational system teach children to avoid it themselves and be responsible with their internet usage? That seems like a much more holistic answer to this problem.

Sometimes they can slightly tolerate Catholics, but just barely. The same can't be said of any non-Christian religion.

You're willing to vote for the fascist candidate because he's funny? Even if Biden is senile, at this point, I'd vote for a dead possum over Trump simply because the dead possum wouldn't try to overthrow the country.

I would personally love to see that happen, but I think it's unlikely. It would probably be more likely to get a more conservative compromise Democrat as speaker of the house, but only after the Republican party festers for another week or two.

It probably used some weird webview shit they routed through Edge, so when you uninstalled it the entire system broke.

The current Supreme Court doesn't believe in the supremacy clause and would rule it unconstitutional. Attempting to circumvent the Supreme Court without a constitutional amendment would trigger a constitutional crisis that could destabilize the government, literally no president is ever going to do that unless they're preparing to overthrow the country.

Politics are as subjective as the right to privacy. There isn't a hard logical truth to it, it's what people think is moral. Considering that, and considering that right-wing billionaires aren't known for being friendly to privacy, I think it's fine to bring politics into this discussion.

Voting needs to be changed first. Until it's changed, third parties will never be viable, and voting for their candidates will only cause a spoiler effect for the main two parties. Considering that the GOP is fascist, they need to be removed from office for any type of reform to be made successfully to the American democracy.

I'm sure these could probably be attached to an existing indictment, he already has so many.

Indeed. This is well-evidenced by the forming of political factions in one-party states. Even though no new political parties can form, individual factions will form in the single party based on individuals or popular policies.

He could potentially make millions of his grift, but I don't think billions. He's not getting back on that list.

Indeed. Had he honored the deal, perhaps the Democrats would have saved him. Instead, he made enemies of everyone and got himself removed.
