What common sense? All i see is Democrats running alongside the Chenneys. Right now in my homestate (Ohio) the Republican controlled government is trying to get rid of the cannabis policy that voters overwhelminly supported 2 years ago. Democrats can openly run on a platform of ensuring that Issue 2 is fully supported and make huge gains across the state. Instead they all ran ads about how they are going to help Donald Trump with the border and make sure your kids never have to see a trans person and wonder why they keep losing ground to the Republicans.

Offer them universal healthcare, make daycare actually affordable so that peole can afford to uave a family and work. Go after slumlords who are buying uo property to rent out. Breakup monopolies that are price gouging at every step of the supply chain. Require that any factory/firm that is outsourcing give the employees the right to first refusal so that they can keep important businesses in their community.

The problem is that all of this is anti-market, so liberal parties will nevwr accept them. But those are the sort of policies that immediately benefit people. It becomes a lot harder to say minorities are ruining your life if your life has become noticablly better

Do you put a $200 grocery bill/ restaurant tab on your bank card? Congratulations, Uncle Sam is now demanding that your bank report that spending to them.

The ChatGPT logo looks exactly like Megatron's butthole in Atlanta.

Boys start playing with their weiners as soon as their hands can start grasping stuff. It's instinctual.

If you read the article, the Claude logo is straight up the butthole from Breakfast of Champions.

You can just go to your local courthouse and say "we would like to be married" and they will issue a valid US marriage certificate you can then send on to Uncle Sam. No beed to get St. Lucia involved at all. Legally you'll be married on that date, but you don't have to change your anniversary or anything.

Academy is iwned by the same Private Equity firm that tanked Toys-R-Us. They are also the only national retailer that sells AR-15's. Corporations are not your friends. You should not idolize them

Europe is in the midst of a massive housing crisis.

Canada has possibly the worst housing crisis in the developed world

Korean homes are 3x as much in the major cities as smaller rural cities.

Housing has been consuming a larger and larger chunk of people's incomes for the past 15 years. That's a cost of living crisis. Because the 2008 crash allowed the wealthy to pick up all the pieces and restart the game using the exact same rules. Nothing changed, nothing improved, neoiberals just painted over the foundational cracks of our society and said everything is fine now. The finacialization of every aspect of our lives has only become more extreme, so i would definitely say the 2008 crisis was never actually solved.

Best American made Marzen

Replacing salaried desk jobs with hourly wages and no pay increase isn't exactly employment growth. If everything recovered just fine, why are millennials miles behind where their parents were at a similar age? Homeownership has been steadily declining, savings accounts have steadily been dwindling, and the rate of Americans living paycheck to paycheck has only gone up in the past 20 years. That's not a recovery, it's an adaptation to a new normal.

Idk how you can say it ended when the fundamental causes of the collapse were never addressed, the perpetrators were never punished, and the middle class continued to shrink. Stocks were pretty much the only thing that improved since 2008.

That's why i ditched my dab pen a few years ago. It was just too easy to lay on the couch and hit that all night, becoming ungodly high without realizing it. Now i go outside an smoke a joint so i EARN that ungodly high

Hillbilly refers to mountain folk from the Appalachians. Kinds like Highlanders in Scotland. Rough terrain, no real agriculture, just poverty.

Yeah, last time this happened the market and economy stayed weak, with only massive government spending on public works and job programs saving the economy from complete collapse.

I'm not paying for it, my boss is

The PA is just controlled opposition for Israel.

Austin is pretty much just tech bros that decided California was too woke at the this point. All the locals have been pushed out.

I found it very telling that HBO re-wrote the entire Butlerian jihad because the robots were evil, rather than the actual point where using machines to replace humans was wicked and evil
