It’s one thing to vicariously be a decent person and virtue signal by sharing such a meme, but actually paying for it? Fuck no.

I’d bet local LEO are familiar with this guy.

Probably do the same thing most of the junk humans dump into the environment. Reduce average lifespan, cause diseases and reduced fertility.

Ah, great plan! When they return they can be disabled, traumatized men who are drunk dealing with PTSD.

Gonna love this:

Members of the U.S. Marines Corps are coming to Louisiana to aid U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with administrative and logistical work as ICE continues its immigration crackdown across the country, according to the Department of Defense’s U.S. Northern Command.

Alabama was proof of how shitty things have to get before people start taking action.

You sidestepped every bit of human nature and imposed your own reality. You ridiculously oversimplified how research and funding work.

Ok man. You’ve got it all sorted out. You got me.

Why the hyperbole? Why the binary choice? I have no real interest in defending unfettered capitalism, I argue for strict controls on it with strong social policy. However, you cannot deny that greed advances things very quickly, from shitty things like tiktok to Big Pharma pushing out a new drug that they can charge $10k USD a dose for.

What if…? My man, I would love a Star Trek TNG society where we are all above the pillaging of the Earth and each other for personal gain. But unless you have a plan to radically alter society in the near future your “what if” is fantasy.

Don’t split hairs. I didn’t say discoveries.

The ability to invest in new ideas and advance them more rapidly thanks to the incentive of profit. Yeah, shitload of baggage comes with that when it’s not on a tight leash, but capitalism is excellent at seeking out new things to make money with. Technologies, meds, design, whatever. Patently obvious when you compare that to, say, quantum physics, which has no profitable ROI and constantly struggles for funding and thereby advances at a snail’s pace.

He’s a toddler that can’t stay focused on anything long enough to give him credit for that level of thinking. Even his own advisers and staff have said as much when they can’t give him briefings more than a few minutes long or he gets bored, spends all his time posting online or watching TV. He’s not manufacturing anything, this is who he is. The press OTOH is perfectly happy to report on one stupidity and then abandon it for the rapidly arriving following ones.

Sharp, bitter, stomach pains.

Corporations already forgot about the dead CEO shortly after they replaced him and the new guy presided over stock value decreases and lowered forecasts. The only people that care now is the press looking to generate views with sensational news and district attorneys or AG’s trying to please their wealthy overlords for reelection.

She spent 15 years here illegally after overstaying a visa. As a side note, 40% of people here illegally overstayed visas and did not cross a border by illegal means.

Cities? Money. HOAs are designed to keep the poors out, and by poors they mean other colored people.

Actively working against people. For instance, Trump is looking to limit covid shot availability for elderly and high risk people. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5309654-trump-administration-covid-vaccines/

Anyone who has had to unfuck someone else’s work knows it would have been faster to do the work correctly from scratch the first time.

Says every person designing the system to benefit themselves most.

The F’d up thing is that being solid middle class and having sufficient income to help with a kid’s college money, put away money to actually retire, and pay a mortgage is top 10%. That’s literally what middle class was 50 years ago. Now you have to be a ~10%-er to do it.
