The bill is horrible enough on it's face. Tipping culture is a cancer. This just cements it in place. Why should two people with identical earnings pay different amounts of tax just because one got it in tips always? This is bullshit based on yet another Trump brain fart on stage.

It's also perfect for running adds against anyone who votes against it, so I have no doubt it will pass.

Defense contractors have started entire wars to manipulate the market. It's all market manipulation.

well, progressives did tell all the young democrats not to vote for Joe/Kamala

Bullshit. "Progressives" did no such thing. Progressives are the most loyal and reliable voting base in American politics, with even more consistency than "Bible and flag" conservatives. Progressives also make up the bulk of grassroots Democratic activism and do most of the volunteer work for Democratic candidates. That is despite being shit on constantly, just like you are doing now. Democrats don't deserve progressive votes, but they have them.

congratulations to everyone who marched on every major us city, and took over campus commons across the nation in the spring and summer of an election year...

Maybe Joe and Kamala shouldn't have been supporting a genocide in "an election year". It's funny how you baselessly blame progressives while putting no blame whatsoever on the candidates themselves! It's so incredibly fucked that Biden thought he could run again and that Kamala didn't even seek the appearance of being democratically nominated. We lost to Trump because of gross incompetence on the part of Democratic leadership.

Trump has never really been one of "their own". They see him like Jed Clampett. He has some degree of wealth, but the elites can't stand him. Of course that doesn't keep them from kissing his ass as president.

The Democrats are responsible for 50+ years of neglecting working Americans that created the culture you're complaining about.

That, and they forgot that they were poorer 4 years ago than they were 8 years ago.

I could see very specific cases where arbitration makes sense with a very well defined scope. "Parties agree that disputes over widget quality related to this agreement are to be adjudicated by the Widget Quality Counsel". The courts are not always the best arbiters for every dispute.

However, what we have now is every corporation finding ways to slide arbitration clauses of global scope into every transaction. That is always bullshit.

That's the only way they got their power in the first place.

The existence of this dinner makes a mockery of the idea that the press should be adversarial to power. It's nothing but a bunch of elitists sucking each other off.

LOL, like Congress isn't complicit. The Republicans are fully behind Israel starting WW3 to bring Jesus back, and Democrats are split, but will never impeach Biden over it.

I have no idea what to do about Biden, but an impeachment over this is a fantasy. The 2020 primary was our shot, and we blew it. The Biden presidency will be what it will be, but we can't let Democratic voters forget their failure. Neoliberalism will end, or it will end us. It might already have done so, but time will tell.

I'm not saying that the person who said this isn't nuts but, as a point of interest , they did use "fifth column" appropriately.

Tell us you haven't read the Bible without telling us you haven't read the Bible.

Just in case you think that's all OT, Eternal torture was a NT invention. At least when OT God ordered you tortured and killed, that was the end of it.
