A tweet I saw leading up to the 2016 election summarized it all:

“Spank me, daddy.”

It was directed at Dump.

I hope his Model X filmed the perpetrator.

Seems to be the new tech wet dream: build up a vastly promising idea, get investors, get to the IPO, then have the whole thing crash while you cashed out.

See WeWork or Theranos.

I mean, Gorka is a Hungarian (Orban’s country), Bannon and Mercer meddled with Cambridge Analytica (based out of the UK and used by quite a few conservative election strategists the world over), etc.

But, more than it all being a planned event: they all see what tactics are working to get them elected and keep them in…

It’s even less than that:

This. Caring if rich people might abuse the system is a distraction and not important.
Important is that the program works as intended, which is to render benefits to those that deem themselves in need of them.

Sadly, you’re right.

But conducting these tests doesn’t save money.

I wonder what these ‘asset tests’ cost. I bet it’s quite a bit more per recipient than the SNAP program costs per.

It’s not about saving money, it’s about the cruelty.

Your comment will age poorly.

Bragging about the amount of money you make isn’t the flex you think it is. It makes you appear to be 14 years old and shallow.

Just a thought.

Or ‘a whole rotten department’.

If you have been granted the power of the state to enforce violence, this is the minimum requirement.

Otherwise the state loses its justification for enacting said violence.

Steroids. Rage training. ‘Othering’ civilians. God-complex.

Defund, then rebuild. It’s broken to its bones.

Or, you know, “workers of the world unite..” and all that.

One wouldn’t wish the same misery on others in one’s same shoes, after all. That would be cruel.

How many folks do a monthly 10hr drive to see their grandparents?

It’s okay if you’re not the target audience for EVs. Nobody forces you to. It’s not the car for you. Chill.

For the driving needs of 90% of folks, an EV fills them.

It always amazes me how cheap our politicians are to buy. Spend half a million in lobbying and you get a 10 billion contract..

Oh, a conservative true to the meaning of the word, not the party that calls itself that (while being anything but).

I like this.

Depending on what mortgage rate they have, extra payments may not make much sense.

I’d suggest these:

BMW 128 with a manual, can be had all day long for under 15k.

Golf GTI with a manual.

Mazda Speed 3 with a manual.
