Here’s the rub… those practical moderates FUEL the fanatics (donations and tithing), and they also provide the fundamentalists with a smoke screen of respectability.
They’re a huge part of the problem. The fundies depend on the moderates.

- They’re not Jewish, even in the majority. Some are. Deutsche bank has been around since the 1800s, for example.
- They are “donating” money to Israel AND Hamas AND everybody else involved in the conflict. They don’t care who wins. They make profit off of the war and off of the rebuilding, when they load up whoever won with loans.

The banking cartels are a lot older than Israel, you’re putting the cart before the horse

My argument is typed out clearly, what a bizarre question.
DNC has something to do with every Democratic office holder. Don’t be silly.

The counter is always the same. “Get independent voters”. That’s ALWAYS the counter. You CANNOT WIN without it, you don’t have enough members in your party.
What’s easier for Democrats to get, I votes or R votes? I’ll wait.

Israel is a player, but not bigger than the banks, THEY are number one! Check out the history of, say, Deutsche bank. Older than most governments), and much wealthier than most of them, too. Israel does have their own very powerful “banking families” of course, it’s an international interest, not national.
I don’t think the banking families are concerned about, say, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They will sell to everyone involved, and make sure the winner is financed with many loans from the IMF or elsewhere.
Media? Yeah, US media is probably their biggest international ally after the US government, I think. Not an expert, new information always desired.

I was surprised he won! Unusual, bigger spender wins as a rule of thumb (90%).
I wonder why they allowed him to win… the old switcheroo? stab in the back, “I had a stroke and now I am a fundamentalist Christian?” We will see.

The USA will undergo spiraling inflation until it collapses in on itself.
Our federal government is far more trouble than they are worth. We should be like individual states, but united. I declare it the… United States of America! Oh, wait.
But really, we will collapse and split into collections of states, some alone, some allied with others, I’m not sure if it’s officially a balkanization, but close enough.
Our state governments will replace the fed automatically and easily (easily as in possible, not easily as in staving off empty shelves, fuel shortages, etc).
Our banking will stay basically the same, because they’re not even the government, the Fed is a collection of bankers representing our various super banks.
- Comment on U.S. Federal Minimum Wage Remains Flat for 16th Straight Year as Billionaires’ Wealth Skyrockets 2 days ago:
And if you have a job “with tips”, it’s like two bucks and change minimum wage.
Every year, unions lose a little more. Was at 40% in our heyday (50s), now down to 10% (and most of those are feds and police).
If only we had some kind of labor party, that would be neat

Why is it not okay to be a scalper? What do you mean by “not ok”, should it be frowned upon by others (like pooping your pants) or do you mean morally wrong (like a sin) or a crime?

There’s no reason any of these drugs should be illegal, we managed to survive and flourish for centuries with no “war on drugs”.
Think of the millions imprisoned and murdered over this war, and the drug trade it creates.
Lobotomies seem kind of harsh, I do not support.

Thank you, I had no idea that reptiles and birds have eyeball rings, too.

Not arguing with you, but what’s up with that “bone ring” they have in their orbit? We don’t have that.

There are something like 10 million students attending Christian school and the like, and another 5 million or so being home schooled.
They don’t really believe in the scientific method and critical thinking, in general. At least in my experience as a student of a Christian school. I had no idea.

Pay attention to this nuance… regardless of who holds office, unions lose membership and power every day in the USA. Democrats can’t stem the tide.
Are they irrevocably incompetent? Are you on the short bus?

He’s dead. I’m sorry, son

Unions have been squashed for decades, they used to be 40% or so, now down to 10%.
People will blame Reagan, but let’s be real they are trying to erase unions every day (and succeeding in USA).
BoTh PaRtIes are anti-union and pro-owner. Because they have the most money to “donate”, there’s no big conspiracy, just math. People who have no money don’t contribute to political campaigns, yet free speech is money, or something.

- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 3 weeks ago:
I had a popup for ad free Amazon, a few dollars a month, so that was relevant to my interests and I signed up, then watched a movie.
There was another popup “ad-free experience is not available for this program”
I immediately cancelled, the popup should say “here’s an ad, fuck you”
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 3 weeks ago:
I was working floating hours (unpredictable shifts, can’t work second job easily) for a computer store chain, I did this for the promised health care plan after six months employment.
I was fired one week before my insurance was to start; I was accused of stealing by a manager (who was doing the stealing himself).
I have had the exact same thing coincidentally happen at two other shit jobs, all three times it was actually the night manager. So they all had insurance and much higher pay, and they still stole from the business and screwed over their poor coworkers who had to be available for three different shifts every day of the week.
Things are much worse now, sorry kids.
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 3 weeks ago:
Those companies would be screwing you regardless, you can’t get a company to do anything but acquire profit without government to restrain them, otherwise they run the show and would own you as a slave. Only government limits their power, which would be absolute otherwise.
Unfortunately, our government is now under the control of corporations and has been for some time (since at least “money is free speech” and “corporations are people” court victories), defeating it’s purpose. We used to break up monopolies and remove business licenses for unlawful practices! The good old days.
Hmmm, if corporations are people, and they make and employ AI, that means AI is people or something. So that’s kinda neat.
