Something like over half the price increases are because the businesses are able to raise prices and consumers still buy. So high prices are in large part due to greed. The rest I assume are increased input costs and costs of doing business.
They need to rebrand the march as a totally peaceful tour.
Are those the Texas guard that are coming from the perfect land of Texas where no one is swept away in floods or goes without electricity?
This is just my own speculation, but I think we are seeing a new group of techbros, for lack of a better term, jostle for their seat at the table. We as a nation have refused to expand our positions of power even though we’ve grown in size. For example, we have a capped number of Senators.
We’ve funneled so much new money into the hands of these tech elite they have near run out of places to spend it. So we have multiple private space companies, a booming apocalypse bunker industry, and why not buy a few representatives as well. My point is a bunch of Ayn Rand 1950s sci-fi loving man children who control resources as vast as they do present a terrible condition for democracy and human rights. We are just watching this power struggle between the old guard and the new kids play out in real time. And the women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ communities are the first to be rounded up this time.
I knew he wasn’t when he had his goons clear the protesters from the park so he could have a photo shoot in front of that church during his first term. You could see the bible was burning his hand from the way he was holding it.
We go four years of lessons about how the rich and connected live by a totally different set of rules and laws from those of us that are not rich or connected.
This seems a few levels beyond the drone strikes. These boats from my understanding could’ve been stopped and were no match for the US Navy. Some of those drone targets were in the middle of no where. Here we have the current administration choosing to just murder a bunch of people on a boat while being able to use any number of non lethal solutions.
You should reconnect with them to see if they are now blamimg immigrants for their situation.
Probably one of the round ones with the fuse coming out of the top. My understanding from TV is that modern dynamite isn’t lit but set off with a plunger or twisty mechanism attached to wires.
They’re still big about not being able to say the n-word in public. I don’t spend much time with the racist in-laws, but when I do I am always impressed with the new ways they’ve picked up to be racist without being openly racist.
In their defense lots of those teachers grew up in a society where graduating high school could get you a middle class family and factory job.
I’m mildly impressed they are managing to do all this without having an outside catalyst like covid-19.
This is just another inning of the great American past time of squeezing the middle class a game perfected by Reagan and started around Nixon. This is a country for the haves and got mines.
A people so stupid and uneducated they can’t figure out unregulated capitalism will just push the profits to the top and then leave the bottom rungs of the economic ladder to pay the costs. I mean we’re a country of immigrants with an administration arguing that 3rd or 4th generation immigrants are the only ones with true claims to the land.
What is crazy to me are the lengths that Trump is willing to go to distract from his Epstein debacle. Also, maybe before agreeing to go on South Park Trump should’ve familiarized himself with their type of show.
I think the Trump regime is getting push back on Epstein because they made a big deal of it during the campaign. And a bunch of their talking heads piled on the Epstein will out a bunch of Dems fantasy.
We have state constitutions!
Some of those people didn’t have a choice though so that seems excessive.
Lying and being wildly incompetent are like hallmarks of the Trump regime.
Sounds like some of them haven’t gotten their full updates yet. Trying to run a republican on old software can cause odd responses or straight up glitches.
Yeah real strange when a bunch of other billionaires start coming around your neck of the woods and messing with the people you have been exploiting. I guess I don’t know enough about Pritz, but his response seems as simple as the old poker saying you can shear a sheep multiple times but only skin them once. Which is my way of saying he might just take exception to the skinning of his constituents, and is not about fixing shit beyond pragmatic constituent shearing.
