It’s not the corporations, it’s the billionaires that run them. Every time Trump does something that makes the stock market drop, they get richer by scooping up more for less. Than sell them when Trump says “Just kidding” and the stock market rises again.
Not to mention that all of their companies get to raise prices and blame “tariffs” in order to increase their profit margin.
It’s the entire reason they paid to get him into the white house.
Working toward a nuke free world was going to get humans past the Great Filter
Ironically, I’m increasingly of the opinion that the Great Filter will turn out to be Ignorance; more specifically, greed, stupidity and humankind’s more selfish nature delaying positive change long enough for climate change to wipe us out.
Everywhere else in the world with the exception of prudish north america, “Cunt” is just a synonym for asshole; regardless of gender.
That may not be where the word started, but that’s where it currently is in modern usage.
There’s no such thing as a “non-harmful” pedofile.
Either you’re actively molesting children (yes…even teens), or you’re consuming the CP that is the result of OTHER people abusing children by forcing them to participate and worse.
You don’t get to say “its not repulsive to consume the product as long as youre not a creator of it”. Consuming the end result is still participating in it.
I can’t believe that even has to be pointed out.
I’m hoping he loses his own riding and has to get a real job for the first time in his life.
come at me, bro…
I was dumbfounded the first time my ex-wife tried to tell me that because I was a (former) Catholic at the time, that it wasn’t actually Christianity.
My exact words were; “Bitch please! We were the fucking original christians, what the fuck are you on about?”
That was before we got married and I should have listened to my gut in that moment.
Yes…yes…by all means keep shooting yourself in the dick by reminding everyone of how similar you are to that absolute clown-show to the south…
A French court found far-right leader Marine Le Pen guilty of embezzling over €3 million in EU funds, potentially ending her 2027 presidential bid.
“pfffft…amateur.” (Donald Trump, probably)
Handguns are tightly controlled. But Long Guns are literally everywhere. If 'murica is counting on us being unarmed…hoo boy…
it makes line go down.
You often see the question asked online “What radicalized you?”
For me, I was working for a telecommunications provider as a manager and was told that neither myself nor my staff would see any raises or bonuses that year because “the company didn’t make any money.”
The kicker being that the company made 6 billion that year. But because the money counters had projected them to make 7 Billion, and they didn’t hit it, giving out raises would make the stock price drop even more than it was already going to. Essentially, not enough profit, is the same as NO profit.
But you better believe the CEO and executives got their bonus that year.
it makes line go down.
still entirely compromised of “nerds evangelizing about Linux”
"Winger decries the accusation as “A slanderous betrayal akin to 9/11.” Later after the war, he would refer to the theory as “essentially accurate.”
So he’s basically telling the other billionaires to eat the cost of the tariff themselves and NOT pass them on to the consumer.
Trump really is stupid enough to start biting the hands that gave him his current position, all because Musk tells him to.
Apocryphally, CEOs have committed Seppuku for far less.
Are they getting DOGE to look into whether the tickets were non-refundable?
hmmm…upvoted for being an idiot. My ego doesn’t know which direction to go…
I don’t know what the solution is… But I feel like I’m watching America repeat in Canada.
I’m cautiously optimistic in the polls so far. We seem to be, almost universally, looking to the south with horror, and then watching Poppinfresh’s polling drop every time someone compares him to Trump in public.
The reality is that most of the Maple MAGA are a very small subset of one or two particular provinces, with the majority of people even in THOSE provinces not having none of Trump’s shit.
We always have to keep in the mind that the loudest person in the room isn’t automatically the most poplular.
edit - Absolutely responded to the wrong thread because I’m an idiot.
He’s drowning. His political acuity begins and ends with mimicking Trump tactics and coming up with three word polemics. But literally everything he had a slogan for is no longer relevant and so the punchable-faced twerp can’t find a good rhyme anymore.
Admitting your country has problems is “woke”, though. /s
