This is the political landscape in a nutshell. Someone from the left makes a statement backed by reality about bettering society then someone on the right says some childish shit and name calls. How perfect.
Are you even capable of having a mature, adult conversation? Without all this school yard stuff and insults, just facts and we’ll formed stances on topics.
Let me ask this, after Trump’s time in office what did he accomplish that helps you? You said we’ll having nothing to show, what do you have to show from Trump? He decreased taxes for the rich, so if you’re rich I get it, otherwise I’m curious.
They do numerous things that impact you. If you don’t realize this then you’re just uniformed. I don’t say that to be mean, but if you think laws, policies, and elections don’t impact you at all then you’re just wrong. Taxes, medical costs, gas prices through negotiations, involvement in wars, infrastructure bills, holding companies accountable, immigration policies, gun laws, just to name a few. Take whatever things you care most about and I guarantee politics impacts them in some way.
Walz is good, but he doesn’t have the experience she has. But the VP plays a role in politics and is second in line to the leader of our country, them being a good person is important.
You seem to be of the mind that they all do nothing and all this discourse is pointless BS, so why are you even here? Why waste your time reading a post title about politics, click into it, then engage in a conversation?
So you ever actually read his platform? Look into what he has done? Tim has sound and practical reasons for … guess what… doing the right thing.
Feed school children for example. Turns out the grades go up and truancy goes down. Juvenile crime goes down. An educated workforce makes for better wages and a happier populace. He will tell you that… in plain English.
Instead of blaming everyone else and calling names he, you know, fills potholes and offers solutions. He isn’t perfect, but you calling names and acting like an ass with no actuall reasons is just pathetic.
This has nothing to do with “ageism”, which is a statistical idea applied individually. I’m discussing statistics applied to the appropriate population. I’m discussing the idea that a population, which holds no interest in the outcome of a decision, should stay the hell out of that decision. Check yourself.
I have no problem with elderly voting. My question is why do they vote?
This is why the right keeps attacking social security; to keep folks who don’t actually have a stake in the future at the voting booths. Then, en masse, they vote against equality and the very future of our planet’s surface all because of outdated ideologies. Because of their self-centeredness, they hold back progress.
WHY do they vote when they won’t be here to see the result? Do they think the generations that will are too stupid to govern themselves?
This has nothing to do with “ageism”, which is an statistical idea applied individually.
While I disagree with that statement, especially in this context, I'm glad to see that you understand the difference between discussing statistics about a demographic population (identified by observation of past events) and inappropriately applying those statistics to an individual.
When you said
The elderly need to SIT DOWN. It’s not their planet anymore, and they need to get over it.
You were insisting on specific future actions ("SIT DOWN" and "get over it"). Actions are taken by individuals. Age is a characteristic that individuals do not have control of. It is not a decision, and we don't cast aspersions on people for things they do not have control of.
Again.. it’s not agesist when you literally call out the entire population for doing the thing that population does.
There it is again.
The entire population - every individual who is a member of the specified population - does not do the thing which is observed to be in the statistical majority for that population (if that's even the case here).
Ok, school time. You are conflating the “entire” population with “every member” of the population. Perhaps you should actually learn about the thing you are trying to correct others about.
Do you also buy the Vance line that people who don’t have kids should not vote because they don’t have skin in the game? At what age are you too old (or need to have kids by) to be concerned about the future? And regardless of “the future” at least some policy’s are about right now. Like the abortion bans or getting rid of Medicare or social security, or raising taxes or regulation of sources of heat or stoves etc… These matter to people till they die ffs.
To clarify here - do you think that people should be forced to leave school boards as soon as their kids graduate? Do they end up eligible again if their kids have grandkids? Is this limited to people with kids going to that specific school? Also, does paying school taxes not make you have some skin in the game?
And what about just input on the society you live in? It seems to me the solution in your example would be to have younger people run for / contest the school board.
I want to go on the record on the side of "Yes, people without kids are absolutely capable of caring about education."
But I also wanted to offer a correction:
Is this limited to people with kids going to that specific school?
School boards are for the school district, which is obviously composed of many elementary schools, junior highs, high schools. Without speaking for every school district in the country, I would expect that school board members would need to be residents of the district.
Here try this: Do you think people from Russia should vote in our elections? If you put any thought at all into your argument, you’ll see in advance that you lose this little debate.
If you made an argument, I could perhaps put some thought into it. My argument is simply that Russia isn’t paying our taxes, and is a different country, so there’s no comparison I can think of.
People living in an area paying taxes for that school have every right to be on the school board - it’s a direct application of “no taxation without representation” in which kind of implied in the US is the right to run for the office and be elected to the office. We fought a revolution over taxes and representation. So, not - I put some thought into this and think I just won the debate right there.
It’s not that they’re indifferent- not that they don’t care. It’s punishment. Anything to make their lives worse is a good thing. The prisoners “deserve” this treatment. Also, they’re slaves and have no real standing to challenge the treatment under the law (source: vibes).
Pelosi is a fossilized old barnacle that need to be scraped from the hull. If you’re old enough to remember when steam was the number one source of power, it’s time to step aside and let some younger blood take the reins.
Who will replace her if she suddenly passes away because shes 84? She should be ensuring the party can function without her. She should be spinning up the next generation of leaders before it becomes critical. We shouldn’t have to Weekend at Bernie’s politicians in order to keep the government from collapsing.
It’s a big pile of money that Trump/a Trump lackey doesn’t directly control, of course he wants to strong-arm someone in to putting his loyalists in charge. Lest we forget… the head of the RNC is his daughter-in-law.
This is fucking insane. He wants them to create housing immediately, as if building things like apartments doesn’t take time.
Bad enough that the camps are being broken up. They literally have nowhere to go but prison. Oh well, at least the private prisons are making their slave quotas.
He wants them to create housing immediately, as if building things like apartments doesn’t take time.
He says that occasionally, but that’s not really what he wants, he just wants homeless people gone out of sight and out of the minds of his donors and their customers. If they disappear into housing that’s fine, but he’s ok with other solutions too so long as they happen now now now
Los Angeles County, in particular, has become a frequent target of Newsom’s ire. The governor again criticized the county on Thursday for delaying implementation of a law that expands the criteria for people to be detained against their will.
When is the cocksucker up for relection. We need to Primary him and remove him from politics at least as a Democrat. He fucking DINO and horrible human being. He should join the GOP because everything he does reminds me of them.
it would be impolite to say so though. 🤷♀️ sorry. can’t listen, you’re rude for accusing someone of doing something only a total piece of shit would do, implying that he’s a total piece of shit. what kind person would even DO that?
maybe we could listen to you if you also said it was fine and good?
Apartments take a few months to build. There are standard designs they build over an over again in different locations. I realize CA has earthquakes and maybe cannot take a design from Ohio (though I wouldn't be surprised if they could), but there should be plenty of designs that meet codes. If they cannot build thousands of apartments in a year the problem isn't the time it is they are doing something to make it not possible to build that fast.
Building should be by right - no need to ask the neighbors for permission or get a review (for a standard design that doesn't do anything unusual), just half hour to get the permit and then a few routine inspections along the way.
You read what he’s saying in the article, because the implication is pretty clear that he’s saying, “you house these people right now or else” as if that’s possible.
Wow. My building was finished 6 months ago after a 3-year process.
I envy your comparatively-overnight build. Pouring the foundation (parking) alone is a month for 5 storeys for the new one going in next door, and then concrete for each level is at least another fortnight. That’s like a year alone just for the concrete skeleton, let alone the infrastructure and then build of the units.
Forced prison labor is determined by state, not by ownership. There are Federal prisons in many states that use slave labor, socialized by our tax money.
