Sales numbers of American cars would barely budge in Europe

If you did this, parents would just give the money to their relatives earlier or set it up in trusts, and there would be big scrambles every time people got sick. I appreciate the idea, but you’d just be trading one shell game for another.

Yup. I just filed my US taxes, despite not having lived in the US for several years. Luckily you basically don’t actually owe any money unless you make a truly ridiculous salary, so the foreign taxation pretty much only applies to the wealthy.

Peugeot’s interior quality has come a long way. The Zipcars around here are Peugeot 208s, and even at fleet spec they’re pretty good.

I’ll be over here waiting until you point out to me any other first world nation’s military who is squeaky clean

Also don’t forget Sanders’ shitty race record. Seeing his stans try to dunk on Buttigieg for this while conveniently ignoring the guy who completely ignored BLM in 2016 is fucking rich.

It’s truly amazing to watch the Sanders purity police go after him about this, considering Sanders has at best a mixed record on race, and had very touchy relations with BLM in 2016.

I’ve heard of that piece/read some of it. It’s not nearly as rigorous as what I expect from that site, and has been widely dinged because of it.

And he’s a shittier candidate than almost every other person running, apart from maybe Gabbard. We can do better.

Fascism isn’t economically left at all - Strasserism is, but most fascist governments have been exceedingly conservative.

Some of the commentariat around here stanning for Maduro is pretty pathetic, and Hot Take isn’t the only guilty party. It’s also pretty impressive to see some allegedly committed leftists seemingly not know anything about pretty well known divisions in leftist philosophy.

“Bannon said he wanted to talk to those around the table about how, after Brexit and Trump, he saw an opportunity in Europe to have something like the [House] Freedom Caucus—of which Gosar is a member—in the European Union,”

calling them out for their obstruction, lies and hypocrisy and exposing their duplicity for all to see, in ways that Obama would never dare have tried.

Good grief, the right wouldn’t even work with Obama. The notion that they’re going to cooperate with a self-declared socialist is ludicrously detached from reality.

Bernie Sanders said that instead of packing the Supreme Court, Justices could be rotated between the Supreme Court and Appeals Courts

The captive Fox viewers will see this town hall bookended by hysterical right wing propaganda - it’s not like the viewers will see Bernie in isolation. He’s not going to reach anyone this way.

Fair enough.

The thing is, we do make stuff. US manufacturing has been growing for a while, but manufacturing employment is going down due to automation and other technology.

He even took credit for the UK patient going into remission from AIDS a couple weeks ago. The amazing thing is how many idiots believe it.

If you have higher tier planes, the repair times without premium currency get ludicrous - think multiple days. Extra upgrade slots cost, better planes cost, everything costs. The balance is absolutely skewed to people who have shelled out more money. You may be able to have fun without paying, but they set the pain…
