A lot of damage has already been done, unfortunately. Many of these people won’t come back, and even those that do will still be working in fear as this works it was up to SCOTUS, who I’m certain will rule based on law and precedence.

Pluto isn’t a planet.

Argument destroyed, pharma shill ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

What does any screaming toddler in the toy aisle expect to gain?

Unfortunately, POTUS can’t unilaterally increase minimum wage, which would require legislative action… and the tangible good he (and Democrats more generally) actually did do for people, like student loan forgiveness, abortion access, college admission rules that helped disadvantaged students, gun control, and the ability for federal agencies to hire experts in a field to help make intelligent decisions were all thrown out in the courts.

They did the same thing last time

Sir, this is a Wendy’s…

That’s an obvious oversimplification. If it was just about making more dead soldiers, they would care more about all the dead school-age kids, too…

Dude is confusing attacks on his legitimacy with Illegitimate attacks.

Surely you don’t mean their god visiting wrath upon them for being sinners? That’s DEFINITELY gonna be in the textbooks

Maybe a Texas Republican…you know, as a deterrent.

I’m pretty stoked I was able to get Witcher 3 this year for under $8

This is the compromise to all the red states that can’t access ph anymore.

So homeless then, I guess. Unless there’s some secret sauce to owning/renting a home in DC and your home district while making $16k annually (that’s the average after tax income for the lowest earning quintile of the population)

Edit: i may be misreading what you meant…if you meant they’d be in the 4th lowest quintile, that gets its up to around $120k…still a tall order.

At least until the next pandemic

It’s probably a chute for an old coal or wood heater. These are pretty common in houses built in the late 19th and early 20th century in the US.

We just elected someone who promised to fix everyone’s cost of living concerns by deporting 1/3 of our agriculture workforce and applying blanket tariffs. We are not a smart people.

Neither. I’m actually pretty well aware of the harms caused by places I’ve worked, including in the US military. I’ve even left places when I couldn’t square that circle. I figured the comment would get some heavy down voting because I know how most of the world is looking at the scenario. I felt some schadenfreude watching the guy get gunned down, too. My perspective is that I see the left committing a lot of the same logical fallacies typically committed by the right in this scenario. It feels a little too close to “well, the cops wouldn’t have shot him in the back if he just complied” or “Palestinians elected terrorists so they’re all terrorists and gldeserve whatever they get” arguments to me. I try to practice the Principal of Charity, and I don’t have any good evidence that this man was cackling with glee while personally slamming a big red “DENIED” stamp on grannies chemo medicine claims. If he’d approved every claim, he would be fired, and they’d bring someone else in to deny the claims. I’m not defending the insurance industry or capitalism for-profit healthcare, but I worry more generally about society normalizing or celebrating violence.l and where that’s moght take us.

False dichotomy is a common tactic used to radicalize people and instigate violence.

Brian Thompson was the head executive of a corporation. He likely spent his days looking at spreadsheets and BI reports, going to meetings where he was held accountable for making a profit for the shareholders and playing golf. If he is responsible for deaths related to the 30-something percent of claims that the company he ran denied, then he is equally responsible for any lives saved by the 60-something percent of claims they approved.

I’m not mourning the guy, but I know his friends and family are. If his murder was justified, is mine justified for not feeling bad he died? Is my daughter’s murder by a Palestinian justified because I pay taxes that buy bombs my government sells to Israel?

There are lots of alternatives to murder (or whatever euphemism for murder you choose to use). Murder certainly feels easier in the short term, especially when you have no connection to the guy who pulled the trigger. His life is likely ruined now as well.

Thank goodness none of them were CEOs!

I think they’re suggesting that, if you think what you’re seeing now is “unlimited support,” you’ll have a pretty shocking 2025. There can’t be a repeat in '26 and '28 if there are no Palestinians left.

We had a shitty choice to make, and we chose to accelerate this genocide so we can get on to all the others, but hey…if it teaches a liberal a lesson that’s a chance we’re willing to take. At least it’ll be over for them faster this way.
