You think they have a single fuck to give about mandates? They’ve got the power - they’re itching to use it. Good luck everyone.

Can’t have those uppity workers understanding what you’re trying to inflict upon them…

It would have been uncivil - and as we all know, the most effective way to fight fascism is by letting them run roughshod over you while smugly pointing out how correct you are, and that they’re breaking the rules while adjusting your policies to be a watered down version of the fascists, exciting the fascists, liberals, and leftists at the end time.

If the Dems get another election and don’t pick a left populist like Sanders, they’re finished.

Scratch a liberal…

Right sentiment, wrong solution.

You don’t fix workers’ problems by being a dick to them and making it hard for them to afford to live - you fix workers’ problems by inflicting the pain on the decision makers - employers and legislators.

What’s going on with MTG right now? Release the results of the congressional investigations, allowing the crooks and paedophiles to be driven out as the cripplingly stupid welfare queen red states seceed to starve as the blue states enter an era of prosperity… Broken clocks and whatnot, I suppose.

In markets the typical response to a sudden shortage is an ________ in ______, leading to a reduction in demand, as the demand shifts to alternatives (other destinations, non-consumption) until a new equilibrium is found.

That’s right - an increase in pricing reduces demand by pushing people to alternatives, reducing demand.

Thank you - that’s interesting - particularly the quote about making him uncomfortable.

I’m surprised that the shifting Overton window, which has left the Democrats far closer to Reagan than MAGA, (who are busy speed-running fascism) hasn’t swept up more Reaganites, but that boils down to naivete on my part, I think.

Whatever the case, I certainly agree that the Dems need to move from institutional neolib/neocon positions to populist left positions, but that’s the last place the party wants to go - even when failure to do so represents an existential threat to the party.

I know nothing of his work, but my immediate assumption is that he’s just a contrarian asshole that has no actual principles.

In media (as in politics), this kind of thing is almost always a product of cynical expediency rather than sincere introspection.

In the context of people that claimed to care about the genocide, yep - the voters were undeniably wrong. That doesn’t make the Democrats any more right.

Policy is not to arm countries blocking humanitarian aid - this is just sparkling aiding genocide.

I think you meant serial rapist, paedophile, fraudster and insurrectionist, who has the support of a third of the country and who knows how much money.

Thanks for playing, Rudolph Jitler, but no prizes for a performance like that.

If we had to protect our whistleblowers, it’d be harder to get away with things we shouldn’t… which is a bad thing, apparently.

Brought to you by the nothing to fear, nothing to hide gang.

That’s not a reason to continue to actively fuel a genocide.

Yeah - while Temple was my first exposure, but Ice Station is the best place to start, and up there with his best work. Later stuff goes from silly fun to just… lost.

Loveeee meeeeeee! Pleeeeease!

Enough money to fix a lot of the world’s problems, change countless lives for the better, or to disappear and live literally whatever life he wants, and this is how these pathetic creeps live their lives.

Walking arguments against the concept of meritocracy and the existence of billionaires.

…What do we usually call workers that aren’t allowed to stop working?

Totally fine and normal, guys.

Why did Netanyahu sacrifice Israelis to refuse multiple ceasefires and hostage exchanges?

…but more relevantly, for the 4th time, you genocide defending piece of shit, why did Israel fund Hamas’ displacement of the secular moderates with predictable results?

There’s a reason you’re refusing to answer the question - it’s perfectly clear that Netanyahu is willing to sacrifice Israeli lives if it means that he can kill more Palestinians. You keep stating the obvious in an incredulous tone because you don’t have an alternative explanation - there isn’t one. You tell us you see the truth, then get all shy about it.

Go cheer for more dead Israelis, ya antisemitic piece of shit.
