Instead of bailing out billion dollar corporations run by an incompetent board and C-suite officers - usually with the excuse of, “oh no! what about the jobs of the ordinary people!” let me offer two different suggestions.

China takes most of the world’s plastic recyclables, and not only are they shut down at the moment, but they tightened the rules in the last year that the recyclable plastic has to be 96% pure.

Except it’s not the fault of the CRA. Subprime loans and credit default swaps came after the housing boom caused by the reform of the CRA, and were not stipulated by the CRA.

I agree. Instead of “bailing out” the airlines and then business as usual for the next 10 years, partially or fully nationalize any airline that wants a lifeline. Profits go to the American people and not some random group of 1% venture capitalists. “American Airlines” truly becomes American Airlines. Regulations to…

“How do you go from 100 to 0 and plan for it?”

The article suggests the airlines didn’t do any planning at all for a major shock in travel. This could have been foreseen as a global recession, as a major war sparking up, as oil and energy prices going through the roof, as climate change damage accelerating, or as a global pandemic which was certainly predicted by c…

Hey, way to miss the point on how to structure an economic relief package!  

“If the companies collapse it could mean bad news for many.”

“Let’s apply your same logic to the arena employees currently out of work. If Joe Arenaworker says he needs 5-10K to stay afloat while he’s out of work, do I get to scrutinize his last DECADE of spending and tell him to kick rocks if he has spent 5-10K on discretionary items over the last ten years?”

The whole premise of the show is that America in the future has degenerated into a few members of the working technocracy that are doing amazing things like building interplanetary cruise liners, and the rest of society which has devolved into Idiocracy levels of thinking.

The grift never stops.

I bet there will be a limited rerelease later on, after Covid-19 has subsided.

Thor 4: Hunt For the WilderGroot

I apologize for calling you a troll and an idiot, if you’re being sincere. I’ve seen too many “WHY DOES BERNIE AND AOC WANT TO TURN MURICA INTO VENEZUELA?” posts on GMG media and I assumed yours was in line with that.

There is no investment “some leftists” have, you disingenuous, ignorant troll. Venezuela is not socialist; Venezuela is a fascist, authoritarian regime who nationalized key industries for greed and power. It is much closer to the monarchical oil kleptocracies of the Middle East for the same reasons.

I don’t know why young people don’t vote. I don’t blame most of it on them.

The Electoral College was never to balance “small states” and “large states”. That’s your first mistake. The Electoral College was to give “slave states” an advantage over “non-slave states”, because while slave states loved the free labor and psychotic torture slavery provided, they couldn’t quite pound the square…

Your problem is that you get your Civics lesson from Judge Dredd. Jesus Christ.

Like seriously. I love the “moderate” Republican “both sides” bullshit train. On one hand, we have Donald Trump spewing lies daily, paying off porn stars, and embezzling hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into Trump Resorts every weekend. On the other hand, you have a Democratic Socialist that wishes America had…

I can’t really blame Liu Yifei, she’s a high-profile actress with government minders to tell her what to think and say... or else.
