No, because the way she said it made it clear that was not the case. Also, they did typically drink cheaper beer like Schlitz.

Reminds me of when my brother and I were 18-20 and asked our upstairs neighbors, Wanda and Lou from Austin, to help with buying us a case of beer for New Years Eve. They asked what kind we wanted and we said Budweiser. Wanda said “oh, splurgin!”. I guess standard was Natural Light or Busch or something and she saw Budweiser as somewhat elite.

Yes, if you’re at the sort of party where there is a keg of beer, or at a large family picnic especially. They’re the standard disposable cup for situations where the hosts wouldn’t have enough cups for everyone and don’t want to deal with potential loss and breakage.

I don’t even think they care about that. They just care if they win. If they can convince a bunch of other groups to vote for them, as long as they can be tricked into staying enslaved, fine. They look down on non-wealthy whites almost as much as every other group.

Republicans have been dreaming and working on the same shit for decades. Pretty much, completely destroy the environment for the benefit of rich people, and fuck everyone else.

It’s true, the non stop ridiculous abuses and coverups of the Trump administration far eclipse what happened in Watergate. However, the only reason they get away with it is because Congress and the Supreme Court are in it with them.

It’s fairly unclear what they really want and I think they’re too stupid to have a clear idea of something that would even work. They can’t really think the country could function after they removed everyone who isn’t their idea of white?

Trump also frequently makes claims with “we are the only country stupid enough to…” while many other countries do the exact same thing he is decrying. They’re relying on the broad ignorance of their voters.

Also, this utter sleazebag claiming he believes in the sanctity and purity of voting is revolting.

That’s not my point though. It’s that he did have a legal punishment in effect.

Okay, by that token we don’t know that the lady in prison in Maxwell.

the people dancing are…. congress

I’ve seen a lot of stuff posted saying “just a reminder that the only person punished for Epstein files was a woman!“. But it seems like the people saying that forgot that Epstein himself went to prison and then died.

They have only released half of them, heavily redacted. The Trump admin is violating the law by keeping the rest hidden.

Not a great comparison as the Trump tower is one building while the Obama Library is an entire complex.

OK, what point are you trying to make? The discussion I was having is about when people go into a grocery store and fill up their cart with expensive items that they can resell, and then walk out. Then they go and sell them for cash. Saying that malnutrition has increased is in no way connecting those two things.

When people are hungry I would think they would steal food and eat it, not go sell it. I suppose they could steal expensive items and sell them for cash and then go buy less expensive food? Not even sure if that’s what you’re trying to say. I don’t think we’re discussing the same thing.

People steal and make money on the black market whether the economy is good or bad. Crime like that goes up in dire economic times, but it’s not even remotely exclusive to dire economic times. Stealing meat and selling it is much more about funding drug habits than staving off starvation.

Some Businesses do buy stolen meat or supplies. There just has to be a crooked kitchen manager or owner who knows a guy. Of course they’d like to save 50%.

Being paid $17.7 million in a single year is absurd, considering that $10 million is still enough to make a person with reasonable spending habits comfortable for life. But that’s not nearly enough for the average CEO. They want 10 times as much.

Vital living infrastructure isn’t going anywhere: stuff like plumbing or electrical construction, repair and maintenance, whether on a single family home scale, apartments, hotels, or municipal.
