You’re still here? And still unable to explain where you got your stupid post when it had zero to do with my comment? Imagine that.

Um... poverty does lead to having larger families. It is a buffer for high childhood mortality that is a problem in poorer nations. This is pretty well established.

That was 60 years ago. Africa is still insanely abundant in natural resources. They left it far from impoverished, too. Rhodesia/Zimbabwe being a great example of the “failed state” Macron is talking about.

You are so desperate to find fault and push the racist narrative that you will do unreal mental gymnastics to make it so. That is why you have 9 stars and I have 170+. A good chunk of people apparently see through the outrage clickbait bullshit and realize this phrasing, while not ideal, was not racist.

...wait... what? That post is a fucking mess.

Yea, except I don’t. And my post history here should make that pretty damn clear. But definitely keep being a giant asshole who alienates people like me - the more you shit on us in the center (of center-left), the more we will reject your Democrats and just not vote.

Also... I mention Colonialism for historical context. Still doesn’t make what he said racist. Nice try though!

hurt your fee-fees

Exactly how is what he said racist...? He talks about failed states and poor transitions, combined with a socio-economic issue based on large-family size and easily inferred from said family-size, need. Takes a lot of Euro to feed 7-8 kids, vs 1-2. It isn’t racist at all. Large-family size is a pretty common…

The only real news is Trump-approved State news. #MAGA

Peter Parker has been Spider-Man since 1962. He is iconic, well-known and well-loved. I expect Miles to get some screen time as they move from the original hero incarnations to the new age as Phases come and go. Chill the fuck out. It was a diverse movie. Or is that not good enough?

He might be worried Trump would put in someone somehow less competent?

THIS

The problem with your entire argument is that it forgets business realities of salary costs vs needs. If these jobs were superfluous, why keep them? In doing that, it keeps money from projects they want to invest in and hire for. Sure, he could cut is salary and keep on those editors... but why? If they are not…

Nope. I dislike both parties pretty thoroughly. I long for a viable third option, honestly.

There’s the charm. Winning us over one insult at a time.

As I said, I’m going to need an example...

So you work at the NYT? You know these jobs aren’t superfluous? You think they should cater to what you think they should do and not what they deem appropriate for the businessmen they own/run? Huh. If they want to lay off extraneous employees and reinvest elsewhere in the company as it moves forward, who are you (or…

God damn that was savage.

No, this is where workers are pushing for something arbitrary and not deserved. They are voting for a pay raise they absolutely did not earn (or they would be making $15/hr already).

I do agree. Unions became a dirty word for some reason. That needs to change and bad. Though of course, the HamNo articles likely won’t…
