I believe Japan has less inequality than the US. Not sure on that, but I think it's true. I think in this case we see work culture playing a role. The only country in the world with a worse work culture than the US is Japan. No one has time to even think about having kids when you are a company man there. It's similar in the US.

It can be systematically deconstructed and defunded until it no longer works and is non-functional and frustrating to use and then that used as an excuse to eliminate it.

Why are we coming up with nonsense scare tactic arguments? He's obviously just going to divert federal funds to himself via his companies.

He has no need for a bunch of shitters' SSN when he would just open himself to the greatest class action in history because it would take about 100 million of us to make him any significant wealth.

You want to argue that armchair psychology is more important in this situation than condemning doing a Nazi salute?

Downvotes hurt, I get it. But remember, it's only an attempt to remind you you're an asshole. It's up to you whether you believe them or not.

First of all I wasn't comparing. 2nd of all it is incredibly stupid to argue that American machismo doesn't exist. Compared to fucking what?

This is not optimism. It's more irreverence. Which is honestly something we need more of these days. Everyone's so goddamn serious.

You're just wrong. Devs today work far more than those devs did. Devs today work insane hours. It's nearly physically impossible to work more hours than devs do today.

A burger with high quality ingredients is not the worst thing you can eat. The worst part about it will be the saturated fat from the red meat.

Most of the food comes from fast food along stroads. It is a core part of the problem. The education system is probably the root, but I wouldn't expect a tourist to understand that.

I've run across Wikipedia hate as well on Lemmy.

You forget that financially the DNC strategy is very sound, even lucrative. This can go on for a very long time and things will get worse before they get better. Winning elections is not the objective when money is what fuels the machine.
