Are you sure about that number?

People use the same lame-ass argument that the US is responsible for their horrible economic situation. Communism never works...well except for the few on the top, but hey, don't let history get in the way of a good time.

I am guessing you are attempting to leverage the "common Defence" portion of the statement...and way to not understand just what they were saying. This was to cover the raising of funds for a standing army and NOT centralizing the educational system in the country.

First off, the interstate commerce clause is one of the most abused clauses in the constitution so way to pick that one. So let me get this straight, because educational books can cross state lines because because not every state has publishers that you believe the Federal government has been granted the right to oversee the educational system.

I think we clearly see who amongst us has not actually read the writings of the people who wrote the constitution little alone qualified to interpret it's intent...and your ranting proves the point. Yelling slurs does not make you right, it just makes you look like a fool.

So let get this straight, you want us to feel sorry for people who moved "far away" from their job during the pandemic with the belief that their job would stay remote-only? Yeah, no, I can't feel sorry for foolish people who make foolish decisions. Now if you can show us all employment contracts that stated the jobs would stay 100% remote after the pandemic then I might be moved here.

We either get this or a series of re-posts....take your pick.

And you do realize that the left-winger in the Presidential office has done just as much as others to force the isolation right? You started to make some good points, but you lost serious credibility when you started to use such foolish and polarizing terms.

Are any of those cell phones that the average Joe would have? No, so now you are requiring the average Joe to purchase thousands of dollars of equipment so they can be informed just like a simple AM radio.

You give no concrete examples of solutions to keeping people informed during emergencies other than your rants on how AM should die and how you apparently collect equipment from eBay.

Keep it cool bro, you are the man with all the critiques and no solutions. If anyone should as you kids say STFU, it am thinking it applies to you.

If you are referring to Dan Bongino, he was a NYPD officer and the a member of Secret Service.

So your sole argument is that you believe the average Joe won't think of tuning into AM during an emergency? Really? Guess you don't get out much and see where road signs tell the average Joe to use into an certain AM frequency for traffic and emergency updates. Plus, if they aren't smart enough to follow the basics then I guess we are just supporting Darwinism while the rest of us move on.

Now if AM should die it's timely death as you seem to think, what is the replacement mechanism to get emergency information out during times of need? Hope you aren't deluding yourself with cell phones because those will work just as long as a cell phone holds a charge which is pretty crappy compared to hand-held radios which will last weeks if not months.

So because you don't listen to any stations on AM that OBVIOUSLY translates into the rest of society. I have a feeling there are quite a few thriving talk radio programs on AM that beg to differ on your simplistic view on society.

AM radio has some special abilities that make it ideal for emergency broadcasting that warrant it's continues existence including the fact that FEMA has already invested (guessing here based upon napkin math) hundreds of millions of dollars in the existing infrastructure.

And on a personal note, I am willing to wager a small bet that FM stations go the way off dodo's before AM stations.

Or could it be that Medicare whats data on the true effects of the drug before it decides to continue to spend that kinda money on something that simply isn't working like promised. I'm not saying for sure it is the latter for sure, but there is no reason to go full-bore negative when there very could be a positive outcome of all this.

Bzzzzzzzz, sorry, that was the wrong answer but thanks for playing. It happens all the time time, but you simply choose to see the abusive actions of a few and use those few as fuel for a system that you simply can't and don't understand. Long story short, the problem is you and not the system.

They were promised something by a person who had no right to make that promise. Anybody with an IQ above tepid water knew that the promise was not going to fly.

Or it could be that many people my age were smart enough to not take on needless debt and if we did, we made sure we could afford it. Look, I get it that fools like you have made a series of cascading debt-laid decisions which have put you to the point where you can't afford the dollar menu at McDonalds, but that does mean it is right that you now want others to foot your foolish decisions. Ironic that you make fun of boomers, but it is us boomers that are typically footing the largest tax bills....you know the source of your coveted and desired hand-outs. Glad you have karma here to burn because apparently you don't have much else...well, other than debt to your name. What I find funny is that the people who covet socialism are the people like you who make foolish decisions over and over until they end up just like you...broke and looking for handouts. I get that socialism would do you some good because apparently you need some outside entity (the government in this case) to tell you just what you can't do, how to address people and eventually just where and how to live.

So you and your kid knowing and willing signed up for the loans that you agreed to pay back, but now are complaining about someone else (that would be guys like me that are paying their taxes) is not paying your bills........WTF has this world come to. You signed the paper and now pay your damn bill like the rest of us. One day you might actually post something thoughtful or insightful....but not today.

Well done Comrade! Excellent recitation of paragraph 2 of chapter 5 of the manual.
Look, if you think that capitalism is the only system capable of having corruption, you simply don't read much. We don't even need to go into how communism/marxism are the utter abomination of personal and government corruption so lets move on shall we. Let's look at socialism now. We do need to throw out darn near all of South America because they are literally the epitome of corruption so what's next....Central America. Belize has their act together, but the rest....yeah...no. Now comes Europe. Other than a few Nordic countries, I can go tit-for-tat on examples against capitalist systems so nothing special there.
