Libertarians cannot handle the cognitive load of multiple contributing factors, otherwise they wouldn't be libertarians.

I'm kinda tired of seeing this fucking website being passed around. Several of those rocketing charts begin their launch sequence in the 80s. Must be the gold! Regulations are bad!

Murdoch has been working on Repub propaganda for decades and that mass brainwashing has been successful.

Oh no if only a single person on the internet hadn't upset them, they could have voted for harm reduction. But now they have to vote contrary to what they want. So tragic.

I appreciate it. The modern world has destroyed my attention span. But I wouldn't even need to be awake to read that one.

Why would that ever be possible? None of this hacking is a problem that affects rich people. Why would the United States do a law that helps normal people?

If it is a poor then New York will hold them without trial for three years on suspicion of stealing a backpack.

It should be something that must be returned if there's a severe fuckup within five years or something. Also they shouldn't be getting bonuses, they are already massively overpaid.

But you don't need a scapegoat. The problem is literally the billionaires. You only need a scapegoat to justify white supremacist hierarchy building.

If everyone who complained about ads in Prime and Netflix canceled their accounts, then Prime and Netflix would be motivated to remove their ads.

Donald lowered their corporate taxes to nothing. They had three years of stock buybacks on the back of the strong economy Obama set up. Then in the pandemic, instead of being held accountable for raiding the coffers and needing to put money back in, they were given trillions more in handouts. And now they are recording record profits and blaming inflation on Biden.

The influential people make serious bank at the expense of the public every time a Repub gets power. Somehow the economy crashes, people lose their jobs and homes, but it is the wealthy receiving billions or trillions in handouts. So these influential people run propaganda networks to make sure low information voters can be tricked into voting for Repubs.

As for how it can happen, my opinion is because we have FPTP voting. If we had score voting, Donald never would have been selected. Dem voters and Independents all would have ranked every functioning adult higher than Donald.

Also the Electoral College means everyone's vote is valued less than a Wyoming vote. That violates the spirit of the 14th Amendment IMO. But Donald being able to run violates the letter of the 14th Amendment so what do I know.
