  1. Bernie's economic plans aren't going to help. Full stop. Jobs guarantees? This is just fucking silly. We're going to be giving government jobs out to everyone which seems nice, but what are we all going to be doing when our jobs are automated away? I guess I need to learn construction? We can guarantee basically no-show jobs, which just turns out to be "u" bi. Then the working poor will be in the same boat as before. Government skills restraining programs have a terrible success rate. 0-15% I'm all for free college, but why the fuck would we be pushing college so hard? A shitload of the jobs college degrees are now in are going to be getting automated away. VoTech programs are probably a better push, since I hear robot maintenance and repair is going to be big soon. The welfare state needs to be blown up. It's a fucking nightmare. What is your experience with it? Have you ever had to use it? I have. The safety net is filled with gigantic holes. It needs to be fixed in a major fucking way or it needs to be destroyed and rebuilt. I'm betting you've never been put in a situation that you had to use it because it's completely fucked. A means tested universal basic income isn't universal. All these government programs force us into becoming beggars. It's fucking demeaning. If you've never had to do it, I suggest you don't. They're stigmatized to a point that next time, if some tragedy strikes me and my family I would rather just die than try to use them. They also fucking basically try to trap you into them, into a life of them, then they just trample you with them. Fucking dehumanizing. Thinking about politics makes me hate everything. It's so beyond fucked up that I can't even stand it. The system is fucked beyond repair, and I have a great idea... Let's make that same fucked up system bigger, and let's make more people into wards of the state! I'm more for just eating the rich than I am for voting, especially for any candidate that can't seem to understand that we need to either change the course radically (and I'm not talking about dinosaur methods) or we're going to see some real, good old fashioned violence in the coming years.
  2. Yes. It's true. Granted, the men could earn more, but then they'd have to qualify for a fucking world cup to do that. "When it comes to revenue generation itself, there are some useful ways of looking at it. Did the U.S. women generate more revenue than the men while winning the World Cup in 2015? Yes. Is it a fairer apples-to-apples comparison to look at revenues over four-year World Cup cycles with the men? Yes." Also: But from the standpoint of equality, Kessler argues that women should be paid the same as the men irrespective of revenues. He cites the same argument used on behalf of men in figure skating, where the women produce more revenue than the men but prize money is distributed equally to “do the right thing” according to those in charge (SI.com verified Kessler's facts with figure-skating authorities). si.com/planet-futbol/2016/04/06/uswnt-us-soccer-wage-discrimination-revenue-unequal-pay
  3. How should they rule? That depends on if you think double Jeopardy is good or bad. I'm sure there will be lots of mental gymnastics involved for the tough on crime side...
  4. Let's see what follows from anything. Fucking Bernie is going to give us all fake jobs where we're all the same thing We'll all get free college to waste since we'll have doctorates to count cars that drive by. Universal is universal. If someone is making 5 Grand a month, there's been reason for them to opt in. The problem with Bernie is that his solutions are as old and tired as he is. Fucking dinosaurs trying to solve tech problems.
  5. Nobody is whining about anything. Don't act internet tough. I'm not the one.
  6. Yeah, ok... But the saddest part of it is that the women earn more revenue than the men but make less Who cares who'd win in a game? The broads earn more they should make the same. This is like comparing male strippers to female strippers.
  7. Must have started a thread with an unlocked phone in his little spandex while riding his bike
  8. You want my recipe for spicy ketchup? I'm pretty sure it's on par with Whataburger's.
  9. Why not just make your own spicy ketchup? It's probably a bit better, even healthier (no corn syrup etc)
  10. Well, trickle up is easily identified by putting capital in the hands of those who spend it. I can't remember what his exact figure is, but it's a solid majority of Americans that can't afford an unexpected $500.00 bill. Putting a couple trillion dollars in the hands of the lower and middle class, money that would circulate around 7 times before leaving that community, would in effect "trickle up." #2 is a direct statement that he makes quite a bit. Yang states quite often that GDP is a horrible measurement of how our economy is actually doing. We need to focus our reporting on the economy to numbers that reflect how we're actually b doing. Health and wellness, environment, etc... Of course, the first statement is just a clear-cut fact.
  11. No, that's the first step in a policy group that tries to build what he calls a "trickle up" economy. It's not supposed to replace work at all, which is why it's not more. In his research, they landed on that figure for a variety of reasons.
  12. I would rather not. I'm in the middle of closing a restaurant
  13. I guess you'll just continue to speak on it, then... He speaks directly to several of your points. I don't know why you'd choose not to watch because of the source, but the information is there.
  14. I see that you didn't listen to that podcast. You're a bit misinformed.
  15. Yes it is. Triple bottom line changes the way companies see their role in the world
  16. He really did well to get to the issues with Yang. Very little debate, no grandstanding or lecturing. He asked prudent questions and I never saw any interruption, other than to clarify his questions... I wish Pete would. But most of all I wish Pete would just come up with some fucking policies. He's still just promising everything to everyone. Maybe that's why he won't go on that show.
  17. Fucking Andrew Yang's appearance on the Rubin Report was outstanding. If the person who is the candidate doesn't see the danger of automation and the upcoming shift in our economy, we're all fucked anyways. So, unless we get behind him enough to get his ideas at least looked at, well, this country deserves what it will get. We're looking to dinosaurs to solve problems they can't even fathom. So we're probably fucked anyway.
  18. Amazing podcast. He's truly the only person who gets it
  19. Yang https://my.yang2020.com/r?u=GQ96LxW7tJscudkL8mlwNzVEKXk7dMDJzwJlfbbiiRZGOFJoPXHV18p-3Rq27EKe&e=c24546c91ca265fb384ae55dff98c300&utm_source=yang2020&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=060619_cnn_video_2&n=2
  20. Not understanding the question but yes, in Texas you always have to tell the dmv when you move no matter what your license plate looks like. Offender, short for sex offender... Something we used to say when I was younger... Maybe too much of an inside joke

  22. Why the fuck would Chad Briscoe be banned?
  23. Do you have to tell someone when you move, and give them your new address?
  24. You're a rainbow?
  25. I'd paint her house
