If it works, I hope we give it to all the divers and improve our sea research.
If it doesn’t, maybe the suits should be named Titan’s and we can give them to rich folk so that they can call themselves Deep Sea Aquanauts or some shit
Republicans are scape goating a minority to distract from larger issues, yes.
But transgender rights are human rights. There is no trans agenda beyond equal rights. The only response to Republicans attack on transgender folk is that transgender folk deserve equal rights.
We don’t compromise with Nazis. So when someone spouts Nazi beliefs, we should be firmly punching them in the face not compromising over how many human rights we should strip away from minorities.
The only thing cooler that I’d ask for would be if the singer decided he now shall be addressed as Casper Babypants and then put out banger after banger for kids. Shit like Stompy the Bear, and songs about a tick living in a free couch. If only we lived in that cool of a world, huh?
There’s going to be a lot of people that don’t vote for various reasons, and while I want them all to vote, I understand that the opposition isn’t doing enough to make encourage people to vote.
If you think this bitch is a republican plant based on her transphobia then whewwwww buddy are you gonna be shocked when you discover how many top ranking dems are actually Republicans.
Calling out bigotry is not divisionism. The big tent party has enough room for everyone that wants to join, the only problem is there are too many empty chairs reserved for moderate Republicans that don’t like trump, as a result, there’s no seats for trans folk.
An ally with nuance. Probably the best ally I’ve seen of a politician whose main personality trait is his religion.
I’d probably give him a B or C. Which I don’t believe is high enough to be offended* at members of the LGBT community’s decision not to vote for him. Even if I personally think he would generally be a yes vote for senators that have great track records on supporting lgbt folk. I believe Talarico has an ability to learn and agree to pass more “controversial” bills unlike someone like Gavin Newsom
*to be clear, I have no right to be offended even if they a 100
When this bitch lose the first voting block theyll throw under the bus is transfolk.
I used to get so angry that minorities would vote against their interest in dems, but then I started to work towards becoming a better ally and realized how infuriating it must be for these privileged fucking centrists constantly vote against minority group interests and then beg minorities to show up when Trump started negatively impacting everyone’s way of life. When will the lesson be learned that we all do better when we all support one another?
I didn’t love the media franchise number 1 answer. I think the question was kinda unclear. Cars and Frozen not being answers was kinda weird considering mercy sales. The number 1 answer is technically media, but maybe not movie.
The last question I was so frustrated by. I thought it was asking how many different colors there were. So I guessed every number to 20 avoiding 6…
ACTCHULLY I’ve been to China, and since I’ve been that means it’s not. I just walked off the plane and they said, “Wow. This white guy arrived in our country, we are going to overthrow our government and implement a democracy - the best the worlds ever seen.”
My first night in China they all whipped out there phones and voted. 100% turnout. 100% of the votes went to the benevolent dictator. Fundamentally nothing changed. But I’m the reason why China has a democracy now.
Small and new businesses get loans not based on their competency but their ability to put 20% down and/or their willingness to put their assets, such as their houses, up for collateral.
They then personally sign liability from their suppliers.
Sure, some of them survive 5 years and pay back the loans, but most don’t. Most fail within 5 years. There’s a good reason many states print the suicide hotline number on the envelopes of their tax collection agency’s outgoing mail.
If a business survives 7 years, they’ve likely paid off their startup loans, and are now not risking their own personal capital as much.
Maybe small business owners are greedy, maybe theyre not, but let’s not pretend that they’re a part of the Epstein Class. The reality is they’re part of the same working class as the rest of us.
I admittedly didn’t finish reading the article, and maybe there’s some that I’ve missed.
I think a large issue with the discussion of capitalism is that it largely ignores discussion of free market, well regulated, capitalism.
This article is right, shareholders of major corporations are not taking risks.
But small, local companies? They are. Even if they’re an LLC. Suppliers realized that small businesses were all LLCs and most of them would go belly up. So why would they give any credit terms to the small time businesses? That’d be ridiculously risky. The suppliers make the owners personally sign for the risk.
Small business owners are also caught between, “do you quit a job that gives healthcare or do you moonlight?” Until your business is thriving you are making the choice of bankrupting and losing everything if you get hit by a car or burning out and losing everything.
If there was universal healthcare, we would have lowered the barriers of entry to entrepreneurship, which is a good thing. It would also reduce the risk.
I personally would love to see an economy of small business, in every (or as many as feasible) industry. One where the owner is present. One where its easy for the worker to think their boss isn’t doing things the way they would and go on and make a new business doing it the way they believe it should be done.
Small business takes on a lot of the risk talked about in the article. It’d be nice to separate it so that there can be real talks of reform.
The worker has much more say in a small company too.
Not that there are any tankies left on Beehaw, but Vucic was a tankies wet dream - so suck it losers.
Authoritarian rulers never make any sense when they talk about allies.
Apparently the student led movement only won due to American deep state, despite the likes of DJT Jr. and other coked up right wing influencers traveling to Belgrade over the past few months campaigning on behalf of Vucic.
If your leader cozies up with an authoritarian leader whose country’s deep state is influencing your election, then consider that the deep state may be helping you to destroy your own country. Deep States are always led by the party in power.
