Jack Dupourque joined the communityLord Ratner wrote: "Right?" I’m not touching the “semi” grading scale with a ten-foot pole, but yeah, that was a very specific qualifier. Also, this thread has definitely wandered a few grid squares from Iran at this point. Carry on with the political handicapping if you must, but let’s try to keep it from turning into a full-on 2028 thirst/horse-race thread.Yesterday
Paradiso_Found joined the communityAOC will be entertainment. She seeps a lot of spotlight because she is a semi fuckable young Latina with a mouth on her…her district is a portion of Queens and Bronx. She will flail on the national stage. Dems will let the DSAs have their circus then settle on someone safe like Whitmer or the guy that looks like he’s from the hunger games Newsome.Last week

The only politically feasible path to getting out from under this debt load is to systematically devalue past labor by allowing future labor to buy those assets (and pay for benefits) at elevated prices so boomers and others don't have to suffer paper losses and the government doesn't have to "default." The family has a 400,000 mortgage. Our combined income is 50K, but we're spending 60K. Also, we have 12K/yr in credit card interest we owe and which is accelerating, and we just decided to start paying the mortgage with the credit card too. How we doin? Even if we wanted one, there's no way traditional way out. Raising taxes doesn't close the gap. You could confiscate 100% of the wealth of the top 10 gazillionaires in this country and it would fund social security for about a year and a half. No political will to trim spending + no ability to close the gap with taxes makes all this inevitable. The only thing that could stop it (IMO) is large scale "additions" to the national treasury. Stuff like Venezuelan oil reserves.Arkansas Troopers running wild as they drag a shirtless passenger across broken glass by his hair...after punching him in the face for no reason. This same trooper was investigated and found to have violated policy last year after he punched an 18 year old female in the face during a traffic stop.
