Shoplifting is baked into the cost of consumer goods. Therefore, if people did not steal, consumer goods would likely cost less. This would likely help the affordability crisis. If people steal more, this will likely lead to higher prices.
the joke on the reds is that in real life, blue-pressers who are willing to expensively signal compassion and loyalty end up living in high trust communities while vice-signaling red-pressers die alone and mad screaming "but if everyone just"
If President Trump wants to take the Falkland Islands away from Britain, then we must reclaim the United States. Perfect way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence. King Charles can announce it to Congress next week.
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?
>Everyone is saved if 100% press Red. >Everyone is saved if 51% press Blue Everyone pressing Red is just saying "I trust less than half of you to be decent people and I don't care if it kills Everyone else as long as I get to live!" That's cool bro. Still pressing blue, even if it saves people like you.

Call India a “hellhole” if you want but your healthcare says otherwise. ~47% of your generics prescriptions come from India. ~40% of your drug demand depends on it. You’ve saved $2.9 trillion in a decade because of it. ~Every 6th patient is treated by an Indian-origin doctor. Over 80,000 Indian-origin doctors treat your patients. Mock India all you want but your system leans on it! Idiot @realDonaldTrump

In Special Forces, we were trained to really pay attention to the language people use. There's a saying we lived by: "words have meaning". That meant breaking them down carefully, what exactly is being said, and who shares the same understanding of those terms? That's why phrases like "our democracy" immediately make me pause and ask: who exactly is "our"? Am I part of that group? Are everyday Americans like me and my community included? It's the exact same question that comes up in office politics when someone says "we." Who is that "we," really? If I just relied on my own definition or the standard dictionary one, I'd naturally assume I was included. But that's the trap. Without clear definitions, laid out upfront, like you're required to do in a college research paper to prevent misunderstandings, assumptions can lead you way off track. The Democrats aren't fools. As @DataRepublican lays out in this thread, they've made it crystal clear that the rest of us aren't part of their "our." It's a closed club, and that's the point
Immigrants make our country great.
