holy shit, I didn’t know this show was back on. Hooray!

The thing is, if he is what passes for liberal these days, then liberalism is in trouble, which is a shame. He is probably politically closer to Reagan than, say, FDR.

your ignorance of the legal mechanisms at the president’s disposal to punish those responsible for massive and publically catastrophic fraud and, in so doing, send a strong message to a venal and corrupt industry is, I guess, your own problem.

I know, and I understand that picking up on that throwaway line may seem arbitrary, but I bring it up because if people don’t think to question the received wisdom that Obamacare ‘helps the poor’ (which is true - but only to a limited extent), then people will think that Obamacare is merely imperfect (which all…

My father was a stockbroker and even he finds it pretty disgusting. There is nothing in capitalism as an economic doctrine that mandates corrupt behaviour of that sort (although it can allow it to flourish, especially the neoliberal flavour of capitalism). Setting aside that “well, everyone does it it” is an extremely…

Setting aside his premise of “this is why poor people don’t vote for dems”, it’s still awful and a demonstration of the fact that the ACA is tantamount to putting a bandaid on a gaping shotgun wound. (I would also point out that before about Nov 2016 aka The Year of Spectacular Dem Hubris, there was talk from some…

I think it is unreasonable for pats on the back all round and equivocating bullshit like “The ACA has problems, but”, which is typically what one gets. It’s a attitude that inures many people to the inadequacy of the legislation for literally millions of Americans, the fact that actually it probably should be repealed…

“and the millions of poor Americans who benefit from it” sounds like something written by someone who doesn’t know very many poor people. To wit:

I suspect the verdict of the investigation will be similar to that of the Clinton email farrago - “you’re an idiot, but yeah please try to do better next time. cya” - partisan outrage will, of course, follow.

This show is stealth-mawkish I swear

FANG-induced crapification under the guise of vague notions of tech-inspired “progress”? Say it ain’t so!

Not quite. The show has a very specific, relatively intricate plotting structure/formula to be sure, whose origin can be clearly seen in Seinfeld. This is doubtless what accounts in large part for these latter-day long periods between seasons. It’s generally accepted, though, that Curb ‘scripts’ are generally of a…

“Really, post-dubstep is just a clumsy way of saying, We like big bass sounds and synthesizers, but we don’t sound like Skrillex”

“but I want him to explain how he expects to accomplish what he promises.”

Do y’all actually unironically refer to every Superbowl by roman numerals? America’s weird man

what are the greys I don’t understand

Was AVC always this repugnant or is this a post-Kinja thing?
