Why does it matter if everyone’s taxes go up to pay for single payer as long as it’s by less than what they pay for health care?

We don’t have to raise taxes on everyone, just the 1% who own 39% of the country’s wealth, a percentage that has doubled since Fox News went on the air. We just have to close the loopholes that allow Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon to stash a trillion dollars in off-shore tax havens.

He is every kid who said he could do a really cool thing but isn’t going to right now because he doesn’t feel like it, writ large.

Nope. But she still seems kind of toxic. She seems to think the girls on the beach are deliberately parading themselves in front of her boyfriend, which would be a massive case of projection from which one could reasonably surmise that she’s projecting her own fears onto what he’s thinking, and thus may well be…

What the woman in the article really wants is for him to show her some respect by showing some discretion.

Outside of the fridge, you have the same problem with onions and potatoes. If you store them too close together, they’ll both go bad more quickly.

People who don’t eat a lot of bananas and so would have to throw out the last couple from the bunch if they didn’t put them in the fridge once they got really spotty. The peels turn brown, but the bananas are fine.

Just the peels do. That’s actually a perfectly good way to extend them until you have time to eat the whole bunch. I put the last couple in the fridge all the time. 

China, India, and Africa combined probably don’t use as many single-use disposable products as the US does.

Tubing and dispensing lines can’t be casually thrown into a bucket of bleach.

Countdown to someone reminding us all that Kurt wrote her songs for her, despite Kurt himself saying he borrowed from her journals all the time in 3, 2, 1....

God, I know. Courtney was an excellent actress, but she screwed herself out of ever acting again with that.

So what, I should not bother to express those thoughts because they’re wasted on the audience? Nah. Organizing one’s thoughts enough to put them in writing is always good. And now you can link to them when arguing with well-meaning white guys. ; )

That was the actual stat the last time I checked.

That is not the correct interpretation of my comment.

Thank you for starting a comment with lol, thus informing me that I need never regard your opinion in the future.

Yes, they are actually altering official transcripts, and claiming it was a mistake when they get called out. It’s happened several times. It’s all part and parcel of them getting rid of visitor logs and public schedules so their base will think they’re draining the swamp rather than meeting with its most notorious…

This is for all the people who complain that any criticism of non-white male characters is dismissed as sexist or racist, of which there are quite a few on io9, where I originally posted this.

Fuck Bernie Sanders. It’s easy to speak truth to power if you represent a tiny liberal state that has no major manufacturing, no military bases, no extractive industries, and no big banking whose interests you would have to represent, who will keep electing you even if you never actually accomplish anything except…

Nah. He folded so many businesses and went bankrupt so frequently because he deliberately lied about his worth to Forbes to get on the Richest 400 list and then lied about his worth to banks, using the list as proof he was as rich as he said he was, so he could borrow more money than he could ever pay back so he could…
