Was the KGB agent Putin by any chance?

Misinformation campaigns are modern warfare. Killing your opponents from the inside is far more cost effective.

It’s two different problems. UBI helps with poverty, and a lot of other social spending. Give everyone enough money for rent and tomorrow the price of rent is higher than what you’re giving them. Housing is supply restricted, increasing the demand only makes it worse. What we need is a serious building spree.

Under current legal interpretation absolutely not. Which is the problem that’s being looked at. It’s not legislation, it’s based on supreme court rulings, that could easily be overruled by congress. It’s going to be a very long debate before that happens sadly. Which is good on the side that setting a new anti-trust standard will absolutely rock the economy, so a snap decision isn’t in anyone’s interest. But at the same time, as we’ve seen from the pandemic inflation, without competition in the market, price gouging is getting out of hand. Market steering and manipulation by individual corporations is also getting out of hand, it just doesn’t generate the same level of public outrage.

The other side of it is that there is starting to be support for actually using the anti-trust laws that are on the books. Right now it’s mostly focused on Google and other tech companies, but there’s a huge problem in US markets with corporate consolidation.

Some of us have actually seen the world. Try it some time.

What makes you think I haven’t been in their position? Most of the guys in there, deserve to be there. The ones on labor detail aren’t just being worked, they’re earning good time, and learning to earn trust.

Good, make them protect the communities they hurt.

Past tense, you’ve already been judged, he’s deciding the consequences.

Because if they lose, Palestine dies.

Stop, or I’ll shoot myself in the face, isn’t really political leverage.

And then Palestine will actually have a lot more political opportunities once the GoP is searching for a Trump replacement.

Break the far right by stopping Trump and Putin’s influence on the western world, and things like war crimes and genocide actually have meaning again.

Given her opponent will absolutely speed up that genocide, anyone worried about it should shut the fuck up until after Harris is actually president.

He already said Republican.

I dunno if you’ve tried, but I’m here to tell ya, cobble stone streets will absolutely stop speeding really quick.

Border security is still the bullshit band aid to avoid actually fixing the problem. We created, funded and armed the cartels, overturned their governments, and destabilized their countries. And now we’re trying to pretend all this blowback has nothing to do with us.

They import them faster than they die, even with Covid.

The main thing though is that anyone who says they know how Florida is going to turn out, is lying. No one knows, so the best strategy is to let Trump fail rather than put effort into beating him there. He’s already pissed off the Haitians and women, goad him into pissing off the Cubans and let the chips fall where they may.

You don’t want congress writing exacting laws in a lot of regulatory situations. Think if congress right now was setting interest rates. It wouldn’t get done until long after the economy had imploded. Even if they were listening to the same economists, political problems would create a disaster. The same is true in most cases concerning the EPA and other regulatory agencies. By the time congress would be able to respond to a situation, everyone would have died of whatever the problem was.

Accounting practices reflect exactly what is relevant to profits within the desired time frame. There are no laws that make employee seniority valuable within the business cycle, so it has no value to account for.

The investment that business sees is like you spending a thousand dollars a year for a century in order to make a million dollars. Sure it’s a 10 to 1 return on investment, but you’ll be dead, so is it really worth it?
