Remember when American tax payers gave billions to telecoms to install fiber in rural America?

It’s actually happened multiple times…

I remember two off the top of my head, but it’s possible there was a couple more

I just can’t shake this feeling though that things are painfully unfair

It is for everyone…

Everyone else got it, why not me?

Even if your childhood was rougher than most, some had it worse. Like, I saw a story about an adult 5’9 man in his early 20s. His parent took him out of elementary school when CPS started investigating. When he was finally rescued he weighed 70lbs and his teeth were breaking as he tried to eat food, but he was too hungry to stop due to the pain.

So you very well could have had a very shitty childhood, but it’s not as bad as that guy and you’re on your own with the opportunity to support yourself.

To look on the brighter side: all the bullshit that comes with being an adult won’t seem as bad to you.

Ok…

That doesnt disagrees with anything I’ve said, and doesn’t answer my question…

But I appreciate that you didn’t just type “this” with a bunch of emojis.

Well that laughable when directed towards me…

But does highlight how no one can answer that question still

It matters only insofar as Kramer is exactly the kind of person who MAGA thinks is really smart

They are not watching him on CNBC…

It’s Karen esque suburban voters that watch him, the people who legitimately couldn’t think of a “better” candidate than Hillary, Biden, or Harris.

They are not maga, they’re Republicans who don’t like the name and have spent 30 years trying to make Dems into Reagan era Republicans

Are you one of those people who think Dem politicians are a united block?

I keep asking those people why/how they could hold that opinion despite all evidence pointing to the contrary, but none ever do.

If you have the time to answer I’m genuinely interested in why you’d hold such a belief.

Jim Cramer is fucking stupid and it really doesn’t matter what he says, even when he randomly says a true thing

Federal government has already had their own for years…

He borrowed money to buy twitter.

It had just gotten a very bad valuation, which might have led the people he borrowed from to change terms or take collateral.

By doing this, he set the “value” at 33 billion because that’s what his other country just paid for it.

It’s a house of cards where if any of his projects goes under, they all will.

While this is a short term help, it’s going to make people less likely to invest in xai because it’s propping up twitter.

A lot of people are unknowingly

Retirement fund indexes likely are, so check yours and make change if appropriate

So can guys like Epstein…

If that was the only issue. Wouldn’t the right (which they claim is a majority) just buy Tesla at this price point?

Are these posts from non-Americans that don’t know how our shitty system works?

Are actual American voters ignorant enough to make these?

Or just bots?

So it sounds like the DNC is using him

…

What?

The DNC chair has all the power and zero accountability…

He is DNC leadership…

Have you considered putting effort into learning about how our political system works since you care so much?

They want to run governments like businesses…

The reason that’s a stupid idea, is governments have to plan years, and ideally decades ahead of time.

A publicly traded business wants to exploit every possible resource as fast as possible because that’s short term profit which makes the stock price go up. And eventually when all the resources are gone, you sell stocks before the number goes down and takes a parachute or declare bankruptcy.

But there’s only so many countries and so many natural resources to exploit.

It’s like an uncheck cancer when countries start acting like this, because there’s no one to hold them in check.

The current chair has spent over a decade running Minnesota’s state party…

Before his election as Chairman, Ken spent two decades working for progressive candidates and causes. He played key leadership roles on various campaigns, including Dayton for Governor in 2010, Hatch for Governor in 2006, Kerry for President in 2004, Humphrey for Secretary of State in 2002, and Gore for President in 2000. Ken led the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment campaign in 2008, which dedicated funding to the arts, environment, conservation, and parks and trails in Minnesota. It is the largest conservation finance measure in the nation to ever become law.

It’s not a hypothetical how he’ll be.

Although maybe you’re just still under the impression prior dnc chair’s weren’t giant pieces of neoliberals shit since the 90s, and arguably all the way back to Jimmy Carter’s days.

It’s a very low bar and Martin easily clears it to be “most progressive dnc chair”

All brands and businesses are trying to make money

But only publicly traded ones will trade the brand recognition they’ve built for short term profits…

Investors care about quarterly growth, which literally cannot keep constantly increasing.

A private company could have a flat dollar goal for yearly profit. And not give a shit if that number goes up 100k a year at the detriment to long term profits

I thought that didn’t need explaining, but I can admit when I’m wrong.

It would be a lot more common if we had anti-monopoly laws still.

There used to be a shit ton of regional stuff like this where one family owned everything, and 10 million a year was good enough instead of needing x% growth forever.

If you’re not cutting every corner to make the quarterly % increase constantly go up, workers aren’t getting fucked over as much, at least not every time. So everyone losses when we have mega corps. And that’s the natural result of unregulated capitalism

We really need to be more specific than “Democrats”.

This article is referencing senior elected officials in party leadership positions.

They’re all neoliberals and as such there’s lots of things voters want that they just can’t support even though it’s clearly the smart political move. Even if they tried to pivot left, they’ll get primaried by a progressive and lose without the same bullshit loopholes that Republicans use in the general against them.

Inherently all brands

All publicly traded brands…
