Facts. CEO of target should be like 70-80k per year. No extras. No bonuses, no free stocks. Just the salary.

Unironically.

I’ll give you 120k per year. Fair enough.

Yikes. Straw man much?

The purpose of food stamps isn’t the pleasure someone gets out of eating a candybar and redbull. The purpose is nutrition and food for those who can’t afford it.

Implying that I think poor people shouldn’t enjoy anything is ridiculous. Dumb comments are dumb.

I mean shit, I’m as left progressive as it gets. Id support and additional “pleasure joy” food stamp specifically earmarked for fun candy and treats and shit. Just supplemental to the real food nutritious one. I dunno. While we’re at it, make the billionaires pay for it.

Your way is “here’s money for food because you cant afford it, you can spend it all on skittles if that makes you happy”.

Where is this “far left” you speak of?

Like where is any party saying to abolish private property, arrest the billionaires, and give the entire means of production to the working class?

Nancy Pelosi queen democrat literally said we live in a free market after making her 200 million playing stock market games.

I dont get your argument. How’s it stigmatizing? Why should someone be able to spend it all on energy drinks and starburst? Just doesn’t make sense.

I support aggressively increasing food stamps for anyone in need. But I’d also support aggressive regulation, like no candy and shit. It just makes sense to me but maybe I’m missing something.

Yeah I absolutely hate this guy, but agree with this. I don’t know it just seems so logical. Others arguments replying to you aren’t convincing at all.

Anybody really know politics in detail and can explain their motive?

Are they afraid of retaliation in some form? What’s the rub?

He’s got such a punchable face. But then again, they all do.

It’s kind of a sad superpower, isn’t it? Especially when you see people who have always been coddled living in luxury, start complaining.

Some of these people live in a surprisingly tiny bubble their entire lives. It’s shocking if you ever meet and talk to one.

It’s mildly possible she’s just dumb, and thought they were only jello. She’s a Texas mom. Some of these people live in a tiny bubble. She might be dumbfounded to find out jello shots usually contain alcohol. Just sayin’.

Otherwise, knowingly bringing alcohol to 5th graders…? I got nothin.

That’s a different topic, although I agree with you.

I’m pointing out the undeniable surface detail, you owe money to the bank for 30 years. It’s debt. Pretty simple.

I hate giving away free money to a landlord every month also. But when you get a mortgage you’re giving away free money to a bank, in the from of interest.

There could even be an argument that landlords provide more of a service, in the form of upkeep and repairs. The bank provides no service, other then fronting cash.

Tomato tomato. I hate landlords and the mortgage industry both. But generally you’re right it’s much better for the individual to own due to equity and ownership.

The shitty thing for me and many people though is owning is semi-permanent. More of a hassle to sell and move. Landlords suck when they have year leases which also makes things harder if moving is necessary, but can be easier than owning. I try to only live in places that are month to month.

Call me a commie, I’ll accept that label with pride, I think all things housing should be socialized and regulated as a public good. No more profit for banks, wall street, hedge funds, etc. And yes, that includes small time landlords. I don’t know or care how it would be organized or work (it never will), but I hate our current system. People with more wealth are able to exploit and take advantage of people with less wealth. Full stop.

Nobel peace prize.

“Afford” = go into debt for 30 years.

Murdering people is not the answer.

You are stupid if you think that’s what is implied here. Your way of thinking, is what allows fascism to take power.

Maybe an overexaggeration, but maybe not…

If fascism does play out, and eventually “they come for me” because I am among one of the most hated minorities in the world (atheist). I will be armed. My only goal will be to take out at least one of the cops before they inevitably kill me. I’m not dying in some el Salvador or Rwandan torture prison. I only hope I’m prepared and have the courage to pull the trigger if the time comes.

Get armed. Learn how to use it.

I’d be surprised if people couldn’t put in a simple and cheap aftermarket deck and a couple speakers, which would only be around a couple hundo. If these things are easy to work on so you can install it yourself, even better.

Fucking FINALLY.

I’ve been waiting for a small pickup like the old 90s 4-banger Toyota. And this is electric, simple for function, and actually affordable?

Capitalists must be seething. If it doesnt have leather interior, 19 speaker surround sound, and cost 80k, get it out of our country! /s

This article doesn’t deny American disinformation. Nor does it imply there is no American disinformation. What’s your point?

Exactly. That’s why I highlighted that portion.

~60% vs ~20% is a staggering difference. This really shows the much bigger problem of how conservatives gain power. They use the large masses of unintelligent, manipulative gullible people to get votes, and enrich themselves.

This is not freedom. This is not democracy. It’s psychopaths, controlling and keeping people stupid, so they can stay in power and wealth.

Our system is so fucked.

Yeah pretty sure many of them did pretty well in the stock market games. They know what they’re doing.

What’s interesting is what he’s doing, but what he never mentioned until after he was elected.

The annexing Canada and Greenland stuff was brought up very fast after he won. It wasn’t an idea that just popped into his head. They were thinking about it the whole time, and very successfully made sure it never leaked during the campaign.

Had he been pitching this, he probably would’ve lost. It would’ve been too crazy. But they kept it quiet.
