Anyone who is strongly opposed to a successful third party either makes money off of the success of their party, or are just one of the political sheep who follow politics as if they are a sports team.

@HerbsandDirt @KapoglisSteve But you obviously live in a heavily fuel taxed area because that isn’t the norm.
English
@KapoglisSteve Paid a lot more than $5.02 today.
Are you ok?
English
Just paid $85 to fill up a Toyota Camry.
Not a truck.
Not an SUV.
A freaking CAMRY.
Buckle up.

@MarcoRizzolo @GarbageHuman24 @Ozzie09222024 “Pure“. I guess that means there aren’t any whites in Louisiana because I’m pretty sure we’re all mixed with something.
English
They're Latina. They aren't White. You're only White if you're of pure Euorpean descent. Not sure why this is so hard to understand.
While many in Argentina identify as White, studies have shown that over half of Argentines have some degree of indigenous or Mestizo ancestry, reflecting a more complex, mixed heritage.

@Bitcoin_Teddy Dude, we didn’t have any fucking money, you don’t have any fucking money. It’s no different, we just didn’t cry about it so much
English
Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.”
No, you didn’t.
You didn’t pay $3200 for rent and $10 for eggs.
You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security.
Gen Z isn’t dramatic.
They’re drowning.

@Arfness Not formally, but they were separated after WWII with communist in the North being supported by the Soviets South by the US. Don’t try to use a technicality to pretend there wasn’t 2 sides and distract from the fact that the South has a stable Government
English
Imagine saying this when the US has killed hundreds of thousands of people in Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya and now Iran. And in the process managed to install...er ... zero stable governments.
Renaldo “Ngamla” Gouws 🇿🇦@RenaldoGouws
Imagine saying this with a straight face when the Iranian government has killed over 30,000 of their own citizens, allows children as young as 9 into forced marriages and allows women to be flogged or executed publicly for breaking the "law". We have some sick people in RSA.
English
@Arfness Take your own advice. We only intervened once N Korea invaded S Korea. That defense was successful. Though there was of course thoughts of a larger war, mostly being pushed by MacArthur, it wasn’t attempted to avoid a global war with China and Russia.
English
@JimHandley21 Not successful in Korea. North Korea is still a communist country. Please read a book.
English
@JimHandley21 Iraq is less stable now than prior to the US invasion.
English
@Arfness The goal in Vietnam and Korea was to foot the flow of communism. Unsuccessful in Vietnam, successful in Korea. Libya was not stable which is why the UN/US intervened. Khadafi was about to kill thousands of civilians.
English
@JimHandley21 Vietnam defeated the USA. North Korea was the subject of the attack. Libya was stable.
English
This is nothing new for the American Empire.
This is POX Americana from 1945 onwards.
The Americans are good at crushing defenceless nations, starving children and killing civilians.
All with the full support of Americans and their vaunted democracy.

Cuba is entering their the 2nd night of a total electric grid collapse. There were blackouts for days before this, but now it is near total. Only some backup generators in some buildings. They will also run out of fuel soon. The govt leaders are in a panic as protesters demand they leave the country.
English
@td_nash Not even close. Both great football players. Only one was a great baseball player.
English
@Its_ereko I'm sorry, but how is the US committing genocide by not allowing us businesses to do business in Cuba? BTW, it's not a complete embargo, we do allow certain things, like medicine and humanatarian supplies to be sent to CUBA.
English
🇨🇺🇨🇳 Cuba is installing Chinese solar power to restore its grid. Fast. While the US embargo strangles.
The good guys? Committing genocide with a 60 year blockade.
The bad guys? Flying in supplies. Giving lifesaving electricity.
In this movie, the script flipped.
The US blocks fuel. China brings light. The empire starves. Beijing saves.
Solar panels. Chinese technology. Cuban resilience. American shame.
The world is watching the contrast. And choosing sides.
The embargo is genocide. The solar is survival. The choice is clear.

@eurofounder @_nwblacksmith The internet, Airplanes, telephones…. There’s many.

@_nwblacksmith Name one innovation that came from the US. If it wasn't for Europe, you would be riding horses
English
My cousin Dietrich is one of the best paid engineers in Germany
He makes €41,000 a year before tax
Last week he got an offer from a big tech company in the US that would net him $350,000
"Are you going to take it?" I asked him
"It's a good offer, but I would actually earn less than now"
He is right. In Europe, he makes €41,000 and gets:
- Free healthcare
- Strong privacy protections
- Diversity
- Pension benefits
If you count this in, it's much more than $350,000
European salaries are the highest in the world if you adjust for quality of life
English
@amalikyoas VERY few white people say that. And regardless of how it became so or what it was, this is now the United States.
English
@davidpollack47 I have no confidence that any of them will go further.
English
Which CFP team from last season do you feel CONFIDENT will go further this season?
English
@BladeoftheS It's funny, people prefer the US to just stay out of things, and we could, but when we do people cry for our help. People also never want to mention the billions we spend annually on foreign humanitarian aid, which is more than 10 times the amount of China
English
China assassinated the leader of a foreign country.
China kidnapped the leader of a different foreign country.
China is starving yet another foreign country to death.
How come you could understand it is bad if it was China, but not when it IS the USA.
English
@MyNameIsK117 @JimLemire4441 Oh, so you are talking about a system that doesn't exist. Well if that's the case, it should be in a system where we all get really nice houses, cars etc w/o having to actually pay for them.
English
@JimHandley21 @JimLemire4441 His point is based on the current system and corporate greed and not worth refuting. Prices skyrocketing because we’re improving people’s lives is greed. Prices skyrocket nonstop but wages are stagnant and far behind.
English
I’d take it a step further: erase the 40 hour standard, everyone works 4 hour days. More shift changes, more job spaces to fill, more time to enjoy the only life we’re given. Do this and pay them more, money is fake just like time.

I think 3x12s a week or 4x10s should be the norm for work. Anything over that is automatic overtime. More days off during the week. 5x8s is dumb.
English
@nxt888 The US went to Vietnam to stop the spread of Communism. Libya occurred because Gaddafi was trying to wipe out protestors and rebels in Benghazi, Syria was to fight ISIS (guess you think they were the good guys?), Afghanistan? I guess you think Osama and Al-Queda didn't attach us?
English
The U.S. lies like it breathes.
It lied about Vietnam.
It lied about Iraq.
It lied about Libya, Syria, Afghanistan.
It lied about coups it organized, sanctions it wrote, famines it triggered.
Then it lied and said it was surprised by the consequences.
Empire of Lies is not an insult.
It is a job description.
English
@MyNameIsK117 @JimLemire4441 You didn't even respond to the point of his post. He's right.
English
@JimLemire4441 I’m sure people bitched and whined just like you when 40 hours became the standard and minimum wage was introduced.
