yes

Oh god I remember a debate at work between two guys trying to decide if Stephen Colbert was really conservative or not, and therefore good.

Bernie, as usual, is the exception. And you know it.

Yeah, he’s “only” worth $150. He’s not in the billionaire class. He’s not part of the oligarchy. He’s just a lesser noble.

No

And ring a bell

Sounds like you’re talking about a very specific anecdotal group of people, and they’re talking about the general trend.

As someone also in a red state, I believe they’re right in general.

We’re also on track for voting to barely matter by that point, unless something massive changes first.

There’s sadly been much bigger bribes.

Even within his family.

It’s certainly the biggest one a president has openly accepted. By, like, 400 million dollars.

Seriously, what’s with the masks?

What would that matter at this point?

They’d need to do something more.

When was this?

Sometime after it was publicly created? Shortly after, when it was in the news for being called in for 3 mile island? Or did people somehow forget it existed after that, despite all the funding and public appointments and whatnot?

I mean, this is part of the authoritarian shit.

Do what I say, or else.

For the actual politicians it was originally mostly just the greed. And cowardice. Genuine hate is creeping up the list though as all the hate-enablers get replaced by true believers. Who are also greedy cowards.

Depending on the scenario, I wouldn’t always disagree with that.

At least the first thing. The second is obviously the greatest issue that the nation faces. In all of human history, really.

They specifically say that it didn’t even happen.

They think it didn’t. That it is fake news, just people lying about what killed people. Or not worse than the flu. Or whatever.

Yeah sounds awesome

No one, 10000 years ago, was only “working” 4 hours a day. This is garbage.

For most humans the fight for survival it was constant and grueling and frequently unsuccessful… Shelter was hardly a thing. You most likely died by your 30s. Etc.

?

No thanks
