Not only that, but there is so much historical data on austerity being an absolute disaster that posing it now is complete malpractice. Just because you figured out how to build cars in a tent doesn’t mean you can apply the same degree of cost-cutting to a country.

Yeah, except now the Gizmodo comment section is a right-wing troll shitshow. It ain’t what it used to be.

Excellent follow-up question

I grew up in a conservative Republican household, loved Reagan and HW Bush, hated Clinton, and hated Trump that whole time because he seemed like one of those elite NY liberals.

You don’t have to be smart. Look at trump. He has an IQ of 95. Like musk, he was given a lot of money from his racist parents. Jack Welch ultimately ruined GE and RCA by fucking them over. Was it stupid? Yes. Did it make shareholders money while screwing over the workers? Yup.

These guys have one thing in common.…

He’s not an idiot that should be ignored. He’s an idiot that should be called an idiot until everyone understands he’s an idiot and he loses his ability to influence our society.

It can’t be fixed quickly because the truth is that there is NO motivation to fix it, just like there is NO motivation to “fix” America’s immigration “problem” (fix/problem in quotes because IMO, it isn’t really a problem).

Right or wrong, one of the primary messages against Harris has been inflation and its impact on families over the last 4 years. Doesn’t seem wise to tell a national audience they will have to tighten their belt further under a Trump presidency.

Why didn’t Trump do it in the first half of his first term when his party controlled BOTH houses of Congress?

When asked about “tackling the nation’s debt,” he mentioned changing the tax code, and then went on to say there would be some financial difficulty imposed on some Americans. “Most importantly, we have to reduce spending to live within our means,” he said, adding that these efforts will “involve some temporary…

Elon is garbage. MAGAts are garbage. Vote these idiots out of relevance and then let the prosecutions for insurrection etc. begin. Arresting political opponents is not a strictly political act if they are actual criminals.

It’s projection all the way down. Every accusation is a confession.

It’s not an assumption. Almost everything he says is absolutely fucking stupid. He’s rich because he inherited wealth from his dad’s slave labor emerald mine and made a few lucky investments and then bought his way into nearly every company he owns today.

Every single day he proves that wealth and intelligence are mutually exclusive.

Hard pass. I hate looking at graffiti. It just instantly makes an area look ugly. If they want to “express themselves” get a sketchbook like every other artist. Somehow I don’t think they’d appreciate it if I spray painted unreadable gibberish on the side of their house.

Nonsense. It’s vandalism full stop. If a town wants to set up a blank wall specifically for graffitti artists go for it. On all concrete structures? NFW. Graffitti in public places that aren’t designated for such is destruction of someone else’s property.

Unlikely assumption. Back in the 1950s, civic activists called for public racetracks to be built in more areas, claiming that the hot rodders who competed illegally on the street would cease this activity if they were granted access to a place where they could do it legally. You can guess how effective that was.

Another day, another reason to hate people.

Seems like somebody gave it their personal tag so should be able to find them for this at least
