Is there a YouTube video that explains to me how we can't know who sent those texts. Somebody paid for that number (not the spoofed number, they actually had to have one to be connected to the lines right?). How can spoofing happen without the carrier knowing/enabling? Your carrier used their lines to deliver it to you. How is this not trackable?

I want a 1h26 minute Technology Connections or whoever, because this has never made sence to me.

Would he? Honest question I'm not sure how at would work if Trump was imprisoned or died before taking office.

I agree. Nearly every lyric in that song, when isolated, sounds fine and agreeable. Even when he attacks people on welfare "if you're 5'- 3 and 300lbs, taxes ought not to pay, for your bags of fudge rounds." Isn't wrong.

Taxes shouldn't be used by fat cats to get fatter. But he isn't saying that. He is punching down and attacking a group of people who are suffering in "the new world" just like him, and a fucking bag of cookies is one of the few joys they can still aquire. He could have chosen to attack the elite, even if he only meant the ones to the North. He didn't.

"It's a damn shame, what the world's gotten to, for people like me, and people like you."

Sounds great. Now picture his audience. Who are they, and who are they thinking of when they hear that line?

This song is called "Richmen North of Richmond." It's the Northerner's fault all these bad things are happening.

It's that movie with Rowdy Piper and the glasses. You have to put them on to see the whole message. Dog whistling at its finest.

If he had made a few small changes it could have been a powerful pro-worker lament and I would be playing it to death. Instead it was #11 on Trump's "Standing on the stage for 44 minutes swaying back and forth because America is so easy to con so why not?"

It's a damn shame.

I'm with you Cheese, the vibe was "just report that you weren't here so you aren't supporting genocide."

Richmen North of Richmond.

I love the sound, and at first it sounds like a pro worker union song (and it kinda is).

But there's way too much dog whistle.... An old soul in a new world.... Dude the south lost and slavery is bad. I'm sorry

And then he slips in some super disappointing language about fat people on welfare.

  • this is the argument *

This is exactly NOT what will happen.

I'm assuming that was your intention OP, but just in case:

What will happen is private sector clinics/practices/ect will be able to pay more than public, because they can charge whatever they want, so all the talented nurses/doctors ect will vacate the public sector for private, leaving public understaffed and underfunded even more than it is now. Then some shit government will point at the anemic public system they let suffer and say "it doesn't make sense to keep this thing alive" and take it out back and shoot it. Then we turn into the states.

The rich get better care (which they can already get with a quick plane ticket if they can't wait) everyone else gets $300 cream.

It's f-ing ridiculous that anyone believes for profit healthcare would (note I believe they COULD, they just are designed not to) provide better care than a unified public service that wasn't being slowly chipped away to make room for profiteering.

Hang on a tick. Is that my old cheese? My good-time boy?! Or is he but a simple human man?

PRATAI is a corporation, which the government created for you when you were born so they could enslave you to do terrible things like obey traffic laws. Pratai is you, the non person "natural man" who doesn't have to obey laws as long as you know this one weird trick!
