The problem with this diagnosis is the prescription that follows.

The article laments inequality, then, wants to solve it by creating a super powerful government. So, the wealth is never really obtained by the individual when someone else is taxed. It's saying, "I'm going to help you by taking money from someone else". It's a total lie, is what it is.

The way to ensure money "trickles down" is to ensure that it must be risked and therefor spent. As long as governments run massive, chronic deficits, then, there's always an investment place of last resort in guaranteed treasury bills. Additionally, lending must be deregulated, along with the legal recourses given lenders due to default. The idea of creating equality is to create an economy where one either uses the wealth they have, or they lose. If they use it wisely, then, naturally, things will work out for them. But generational handoffs are much less likely to occur.

Additionally, deregulating private property is also good. To create wealth is to create savings and investment. However, one cannot go up the ladder when the cost of doing anything keeps going up due to regulation. While they may be good for some people, the fact is, all the expense around home ownership, building, and so on, is directly related to all the mandated costs and mandated hiring regulation creations. Whenever you get a dollar, there's someone you are mandated to spend it on in their interest, not yours. In that sense, what socialism we have is actually working very well, in that, it is keeping the middle class permanently suppressed.

Taken together, it seems the real story is, "we've ruined everyone else's life by creating economic stagnation, but now we need to ruin the lives of the people that did break out, too."

Left wingers hate individual success and surprises and above all they hate freedom, so they want to make it as impossible for anyone to succeed as they possibly clan by fooling us into thinking that individuals are not capable of anything. One man, as it is, can do a lot, and they on the left just hate that some men have more will and talent than others.

So this middle class man stuck forever who supposedly needs a liberal rescue will stick his wall in the sand with this quote:

"If you want me to care about the planet and all the things you say I should care about, then you can bloody pay me with all that money you are trying to steal."

It SEEMS like you can buy just about any kind of gun part online without a problem, but, the ATF has been wise to this since the days of mail order.

In order to buy a receiver, the part that fires the bullet, well, you must buy them through an FFL and have a background check. So, the problem here is that someone is selling components to Americans without, ahem, following the law.

But, once again, let's go after gun owners based on a left wing lie.

What it really means is that shorts haven't closed and all the new interest was retail FOMO. So in addition to all the new shares they sold, there is still 140% short interest hidden in all kinds of other vehicles.

So there's what... a billion or two counterfeit shares out there and they haven't closed?

It's official, the free market is a sham.

Ivermectin is peer reviewed, double blinded, actually does work against COVID though.

Just dump the radioactive waste in a subduction zone. The interior of the earth is literally radioactive waste... a giant spinning radioactive ball hundreds of miles wide....

Because, somebody has to keep the idiot commies from wrecking the country with all their stupid stuff. Just throwing it out there!

Only because liberals wrecked them by either mis-operating them, deliberately, or, by destroying them in the USA. They ruin everything they touch.

The Republicans are so very disappointing on this. The conservative rule here is simple. In a free society, if you do not like what a company offers you as a service, either find another business, or start your own. Trying to have the Feds pressure private businesses for deplatforming for any reason is wrong. Barry Goldwater is rolling over in his grave. If someone can refuse to bake a cake because they don't like you, find another bakery, or bake your own cake. If someone kicks you off their web site because you piss off all the other people on their - which is what this is about, then, go find another one, or make your own web site.

Once again, its not your money. The government doesn't "give money" to people through tax reductions. Instead, it steals less.

Sorry about Foxconn, but I guess the issue was, perhaps, if Trump supporters and BLM activists decided to hit the books and learn how to do something useful, instead of begging the Feds for crap, they'd all be better off.

Humans, I'd imagine. Maybe they are harvesting synaptic transmissions for their hive mind. Who the fuck knows.

Do a search for a graphics card on the google shopping tab. Notice anything strange with your results?

Google is going to have to give way more shits than they currently do to even be considered. I rate google as possibly the least reliable place for shopping for computer parts and that's the only thing I've ever tried to use the shopping search for. I'm sure it's better for other things but ffs, it's been a year of wfh for many folks and google still doesn't have their shit together.

And then there's the bigger issue... Google has no customer support. At all. Ever tried to contact a human at Youtube? Good luck. Google has no chance to compete in an arena which requires customer support. None.

The whole reason manufacturers are interested in "working with the government" to push electric vehicles is that they are ultimately less labor intensive to manufacture. GM won't hire anyone to make electric motors in the USA. They'll just buy the motors from China and slap them in their vehicles. Meanwhile, everyone in Mexico and the USA working on 4 cylinder to 8 cylinder engines is going to be given the pink slip and Progressives working in banks and universities for a living casting everyone who is angry about this as some sort of a racist who should be ideally just going for the welfare program.

Science doesn't tell us if something is right or wrong for each of us. It simply says what the effects of a course of action may be. There is nothing to heed. If I like daylight savings time and changing clocks, and the effects as determined by science are nearly not so bad to me or might even be beneficial, then I'm for the status quo. But, if I am in the camp where I have decided that the effects of daylight savings time are not worth the price, then I'd support doing away with it.

It's the same with global warming. Science is just about what experiments say what might happen, but, its up to each of us to decide if those are benefits for us or costs. So, if I lived on a hill in Kentucky and liked the ritual of changing clocks, it would be perfectly ok for me to say that I can live with rising levels and keeping daylight savings time. It's up to the political process, for all of us to say, what the law will be regarding the keeping of clocks and emissions.

You're not getting it, they don't have to come up with that much. The stock is overshorted, more of it is shorted than actually exists. This means at some point the hedge funds have to buy it, whatever the price. They *have* to.

Maybe Gamestop could issue more stock to stop the problem, but why would they help the hedge funds that have been driving their stock price into the ground for the past 2 years?

I'm not really sure why crowded city coastlines should have the right to charge much less densely populated rural interiors for the urban sins of overbreeding. I live on a hill in Kentucky and I have 4 growing Giant Sequoias, with more on the way, and over my lifetime those trees will consume all the carbon that I could ever produce. So, why should I have to deal with an inconvenience to my lifestyle, when I live on a hill, am already carbon neutral. Seems to me, cities should think about nuclear power and walls. You aren't building windmills on my land. I think they are noisy and ugly, although I might have a smaller one and some solar panels for myself.
