  1. Pretty sure these are reasons often cited why unfettered capitalism is harmful, but you do you. FYI Medicaid patients pay the lowest amount for drug prices despite the difficulties they may have in finding private practices that accept this as a form of insurance, but you do you hoss and let those markets fix our healthcare system.
  2. Surreal and then probably dealing with actual crazy people issuing death threats.
  3. How many people do this? There have been numerous stats posted before, but it needs to be shown again. Just because some wealthy may benefit doesn't meant they're the vast majority of who this is targeted for. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/06/student-loan-debt-charts/ And before you do your stupid shtick of painting a popular idea (that is inevitable btw unless we federally mandate college tuition) as the utmost impossible thing our county of quitters can't achieve , I'm not taking a position of all student loan debt should be forgiven. However I'm sick of assholes like yourself that constantly worry about the ones with the most wealth, means, and privilege. I can't count how many people I've met who now have a successful professional career and are now just making enough to pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans (law school, med school, etc.).
  4. LOL, little cry baby getting his flabby man-tits enraged that Megan Rapinoe said (a while ago actually) that she isn't going to the fucking Whitehouse if they win.
  5. So what's your goal in constantly posting stuff like this? To me it seems like a right-wing BUT OBAMA talking point.
  6. Fozz, the idea that this makes is somehow okay is laughable. You're being so disingenuous at trying to paint Trump and Obama as the same with regards to how we housed people entering the country. Do you see any posters here claiming that these people were treated with the utmost respect and care under the previous administration and that we've never ever had a problem before 2016?
  7. Bingo, fuck them and everyone who works to help them.
  8. Also, color me a little skeptical that ICE agents are just now waking up to this. I'm sure they see the system more stressed than ever, but this didn't happen yesterday, it's been going on since Trump took office and even before.
  9. Holy shit at saying she's doing nothing when she, Omar, and Talib are literally trying to use their power in the House over the congressional budget to not fund emergency bills for CBP and ICE in addition to bringing this issue back to the spotlight like it deserves. They are doing the exact opposite of nothing, the problem is that they aren't taking some stupid bi-partisan "middle of the road" approach and you don't like it.
  10. LOL, pretty sure AOC, like me, would gladly prefer 1000 immigrants over 1 trump supporter. They do give a shit, you're BUT OBAMA doesn't absolve anyone of the issue. They used it then, even though it wasn't to anywhere near the same degree, and they shouldn't have. AOC hasn't specifically gone out of her way to praise the way Obama's admin handle immigration, you're trying to obfuscate.
  11. Exactly why I said "supposedly" since this article came out how a lot of employers complaining about the applicant pool is because of their own bullshit. https://www.vox.com/2019/1/7/18166951/skills-gap-modestino-shoag-ballance
  12. Cool man. These aren't mobsters no matter how much rich people want to paint them, they're a necessary resource to protect your basic rights as a worker against companies that absolutely do not care about your well-being.
  13. I think probably most everyone ITT would agree that you shouldn't need college to have a life where you gain savings. I think most would agree that many of their college-educated-required entry-level jobs didn't really take a college education to be able to perform. The biggest thing in all of this that I wish more people would talk about (at least those who bring up the college isn't for everyone argument) is that most large white-collar employers require a college degree. There are only so many lab tech, trade skill, etc. jobs out there, and yes I am aware that there supposedly isn't enough skilled labor to fill these jobs. The good thing is that due to the economy, at least the employers are finally starting to realize they have to pay for kids to go to a trade school and/or offer much better benefits.
  14. Yes it's not 75%, but 53-41 in an election is a double digit landslide victory and I'm viewing it through that lense. I think you'd agree.
  15. To me, who did white boomers overwhelmingly vote for? Are you going to tell me they haven't been voting almost straight GOP since Clinton? White millennials aren't too much better in this graph, but they've at least started to strongly shift away from the GOP.
  16. Bingo bango bongo. Don't lecture younger people when the overwhelming majority of you (at least the white boomers who complain the most) voted for Reaganomics, gutting unions, ignoring or outright denying climate change, etc.
  17. Whoo boy, scoring 4 runs in the 7th abd the 8th. At least the lineup knows how good they are, not so much the pitching.
  18. Every single one of you who reads this and wants to argue concentration camp semantics or replies "but Obama!!!!" needs to get the fuck off the Earth. We are committing crimes against a population where people need to be tried at The Hauge.
  19. We just somehow got Hunter and Reddish, god damn!
  20. B-b-b-but they aren't concentration camps, they're biohazard camps!!! Fuck off anyone who is trying to obfuscate by debating semantics or event attempting to claim migrants were treated like this during Obama's administration.
  21. I was strictly talking about mental health in that post, but yes I agree. There are a million things we could discuss, NIMBYs, zoning, laws about loitering, etc. The laughable idea that providing housing is not the solution to help people get back on their feet because that, I guess, rewards their bad behavior of being an addict is downright dumb. Of course not 100% of people are going to end up turning their life around, but the Vox article I linked cities multiple studies and programs where they've shown this has a tremendous positive effect on homelessness, and it's cheaper than policing homeless people breaking laws.
