@NadaraTheGreat @LinkofSunshine 150k dead russian soldiers is not what Feb 2022 Putin wanted

@LinkofSunshine Ukraine literally gets nothing
Russia gets most everything it wants

I'm committed to living the anti-Risorgimento life. I do not recognize the unification of Italy, and somehow orient my lifestyle around that.

@PrimeCheckMark @KTisclutch @lymanstoneky why should your 8th hour working be taxed more than your 9th?
English
@KTisclutch @lymanstoneky Higher GDP is good for society. Increased revenue will also be taxed through other means
English
Tips, overtime, and social security should obviously all be taxed. Exempting them from taxation is crazy.

@MyLittleJackal @LinkofSunshine gay activists constituency was gay people. feinstein's constituency was californians. basil is saying their interests diverged in this case
English
Hot take: Both gay activists were right to oppose to bathhouses being shut down and Feinstein was right to tell them to fuck off and shut them down anyways
Not a Good Jewish Girl✡️@estherzelda0514
Absolute kudos to Diane Feinstein, who was vehemently for closing the bathhouses and got branded a traitor by the gay community for it. What a queen and a legend.

@JohnnyNatoseeds @ChadNotChud FDR hiked taxes massively on everyone, including those making less than $2000/year. (from 1.5% to 24%). Turns out total war is expensive

It would be cool if libertarians stopped cosplaying as socialists

@Fulkssie420 @Daramgar His tariffs and deportations would raise grocery prices!

Yes the cost of food in the US is insanely high
However, buying boxed "bone" broth (please just make this yourself get a pressure cooker), pasture raised eggs (the most expensive kind), overpriced soaking wet vacuum sealed grass fed beef is on YOU. bad shopper!!!

This cost me $175. I don’t care if you think Trump is “mean”

@paidtobestupid @slime_machine Joe biden won the 2020 election
English
@slime_machine it's cause the lesser evil party learned nothing from 2016 and just refuse to give simple people anything more to believe in other than "We'll be better than the guy who wants to be a dictator" while actively campaigning to reach out to people that think all of them are pdfs
English
its so wild that russia had a direct, effective campaign to sway americans toward trump back in 2016, because it would be inherently advantageous to them to have an insane dipshit US president who snores through briefings
and 8 years later we are just running it back on our own

@pyrrhlis @questionableway @TADStrange89 Obama wouldn't have primaried an incumbent Kerry. So maybe McCain vs Obama in '12
English
@questionableway @TADStrange89 I mean, in this hypothetical does Obama still exist? Like are we saying still him vs McCain 08?
English
kerry is particularly tragic bc in addition to being probably the best person nominated for president since at least mondale (probably longer) he also ran an excellent campaign. he would’ve won any other election since 1988—he was just doomed by 2004’s very bad fundamentals

If you think those “betting odds” are wrong, I have amazing news for you.

No. No. No. We cannot be determining the probabilites of electoral scenarios based on "betting odds". No.

@RecklessKami @NarniaJGC maybe she really wanted to play smash

@e_considine @mattyglesias not really, it depends on elasticities of capital markets and labor markets.
English
@mattyglesias Given capital takes 30% of income isn’t it a safe bet that a corporate income tax raise would be at least 30% covered by shareholders while a tax raise on income would be 100% on labor?
English
@darknessatnite @mattyglesias very unclear it would result in higher wages
English
@mattyglesias On pure economic terms it’s negative but it’s positive for the human capital of citizens through higher wages and lower rents.

@JesseMatchey @asymmetricinfo What leftist is flying the nato flag lmao
English
@asymmetricinfo 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ 🇺🇳 they cherish other flags
…it’s difficult to revere a nation’s flag when you are constantly working to undermine it and replace national identity, with other identities.
English
Unironically, the left could go a fair distance if progressives just re-embraced the flag as a symbol of awesomeness rather than oppression.
