Unlike Bernie, most Dems are beholden to their donors who are perfectly fine with these changes. Establishment Dems will not help us through this crisis.
The 2025 earnings tax cap for social security is $176k.
If those richest among us, like Elon who makes billions per year, had to pay social security tax on a larger percentage of their earnings, or on all of it like those of us making less than $176k annually, the system would easily be solvent in perpetuity. The only reason it’s potentially at risk is because rich assholes have lobbied successfully in order to not pay into it.
Yeah I’ve been saying this for a few months now, we are officially in “The Age of the Grifter.” Honestly it makes me a little sick this is what we’ve been reduced to.
That military black box is massive, and the pentagon hasn’t successfully completed one of its past seven audits. This is a prime area for reform and cost cutting, and yet house repugs just voted to add another 100 billion to its budget.
AOC is correct, it’s a grift, and the billionaires and corporations are coming for what little we have left.
If this is the quality of work they present simply summarizing their actions, these people should be nowhere near any of our governmental systems at all. Utterly incompetent jackasses.
It’s hard to say without a better system in place for verification, but yeah I agree it’s a pretty suspicious set of circumstances. Republican bleating is almost always projection, making it doubly so.
Agreed, would love to see FPTP replaced with ranked choice voting, and getting rid of the electoral college altogether. This would open the door for a party actually on the left, and if given a platform I’m sure they’d dominate the current establishment. Believe it or not only a relatively small fraction of America is full on maga fascist.
Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England. This is a human problem, not a national one.
It’s not necessarily foreigners, but rather billionaires that are the problem. They bought off and corrupted government officials long ago, and directed them to perform heinous acts to line their pockets further. The rich have got to be stopped in order for things to get better. I’d prefer to simply tax them out of existence, but there are other means available…
Or maybe there’s no voting holiday and people are too burned out from working 3 part time jobs to make ends meet.
Perhaps if the dems offered anything of substance to the working class, people could have found a way to get to the polling booths. But they didn’t, so here we are.
You say you changed port configs in the yml, but then refuse to share said yml when people ask to see configs.
If this is some sort of trolling attempt, going to have to rate it 0/8.
Let this be a lesson to you - don’t modify port settings unless you’ve triple checked the documentation. It’s easy to mix them up with docker. And don’t ever use a known port value for a service like ssh, that’s just asking for trouble. Docker provides other ways to access the virtualized cli.
Blaming the voters is a braindead take, Dems are supposed to win votes, they aren’t owed votes.
Biden and Kamala are genocidal monsters, and many Dems rightfully demanded better of their “representatives.” Many of these voters still voted for Kamala, even if it made them sick, because of how plainly tyrannical the Trump regime is.
And guess what? Dems still lost because they are so beholden to the rich that they offered nothing to the working class. That’s a shit strategy for winning an election, and it showed with their stunning and pathetic defeat.
Unlike Bernie, most Dems are beholden to their donors who are perfectly fine with these changes. Establishment Dems will not help us through this crisis.
