You must be young. Because Republicans will vote for a criminal before they vote for “communism”. Because the Republicans attempt to destroy the educational system to keep people dumb enough to vote for them has worked. Because dispite the corporate media pandering and acting like they want Harris Because that’s what their viewers want, their billionaire owners don’t. They want the republican led centrist enabled tax breaks on their money. Harris has also brought in the progressives which have zero tolerance for the centrist mindset. She is in a situation where she has to dance a dance of trying to reel in the progressives even though they are going to throw a fit when she panders to the centrists and the corporate overlords.

The system is made and controlled by the billionaires. No hard progressive that doesn’t play the game a little is going to get elected… right now. They will destroy anyone that threatens their billions. Everytime she goes a little too hard left they throw a fit.

Welcome to end stage capitalism.

I feel like it is a story as old as time and not isolated to Boeing. I am pretty sure all companies that are publicly traded have a legal obligation to maximize stockholder return, it’s why most companies go to shit eventually. They may be able to frame making better decisions as an investment into future returns, but they are legally obligated to maximize returns. Boeing just did it while also being propped up by federal contracts where holding them accountable for the decline in quality and changing vendors was above everyone’s pay grade. End stage capitalism combined with good old boy government contracts = astronauts stuck on the space station. Boeing has been a powerhouse of profit for 50+ years before it crumbled, that is the entire adult life of a boomer. And we all know Boomers don’t give a shit about the next generation. So it served its purpose.

Disclaimer: I am in no way educated in business or have any experience. I am just stating my opinion. Back on the site we don’t speak of, usually a generic not relevant comment like this one just meant to join the conversation usually got buried with something relevant ending up at the top. Here it is one of a few comments so I feel obligated to point out that I am just talking out my ass. Remember, reddit went to shit when it became publicly traded and they began trying to maximize shareholder profit, unlike boeing who is propped up by the government, we just left.

"Since when did punk rock talk about politics "

Ummmm… pretty sure that’s a defining point.

He shouldn’t kill him, that’s too devisive. Maybe strap him to the top of a rocket and send him to low earth orbit? And leave him there?

I have found the gen xers are the WORST at texting and writing in general. At least the ones I know.

If you are watching a rom-com about some unrealistic storybook relationship, why wouldn’t you want to watch these people in an equally unrealistic financial situation. People watch them to escape reality, not watch more of it.

So… a hot dog is a taco?

I am sure this judge has all the say in those situations.

My point is they haven’t done it already because their doners want people in their prisons. It is the same reason it will never pass and they know it. She is just saying words. That’s it. Pandering to people dumb enough to believe them. Just like their spill about taxing the rich and student loan relief. It goes directly against the interest of the people that got them where they are. The half ass attempts are to make us think they tried and the big bad Republicans stopped it. It’s all theater.

"Move as quickly as possible " it is imperative so I can get reelected!

Just another thing they pretend to do to get elected but Don’t actually accomplish anything.

As seen in Isreal and the pandemic response. $$$$ is worth more than the life of minions to them. Humanity is better off without that scum.

Hamburder

Sucks because Trump is going to stay behind Isreal too. The people that refuse to vote for Biden because of this likely just won’t vote. Which = Trump.

They will forgive all his debt for a few strategic political favors when they insert him as president.

I fucking hate this timeline. It is either Biden, or Trump. Those are our options. That’s it. Either a babling idiot or… an orange babling idiot. Has there ever been such bad options before? I am so sick of it. It feels like there is someone behind the scenes pulling the strings just to see how fucking ridiculous this can all get before we rise up. Maybe someone is testing the waters for something in the future. Just to see how much they can toy with us. Maybe it’s all just the elite rich shoving whatever politician they can in that gives them the most control. I mean, we all know that is happenning, but maybe it is just becoming more and more brazen as they realize how much we all just… complain and do nothing substantial to stop it.

Literally open your eyes.

I can see what they are trying to do, but this doesn’t make the Republicans look bad. It makes the system look fucked and we all realize the dystopia we live in with a senile idiot on both sides of the ballot. Biden is a senile sock puppet to any corporate money anyone can make with him and Trump is a senile narcissist POS racist bigot.

You passing out from huffing on a vape is your own, wierd, unique reaction to nicotine due to your own misuse. I can pass out if I huff a glass of water and that would likely kill me. You can slam 20 energy drinks and make your heart explode, you can eat too much food and die, you can drink too much alcohol and get alcohol poisoning. That is all equivalent to someone who apparently has zero nicotine tolerance taking rips on a vape and being mad they got light headed. That is your own fault. That being said, I am totally down with legal weed and illegal nicotine, however, weed impairs your judgment for hours, nicotine only makes you a bit light headed for a minute, and only if you don’t have a tolerance. I say this as I rip my 12% vape with zero effect.

It is more proof that the US doesn’t give a shit.
