Hey, they had to get rid of the public option part and gut the bill to get some republican support! Ignore the fact that it was still passed entirely from a down party lines vote with zero republican support. They had to make it a shitty gutted bill for some reason. It was such an accomplishment forcing everyone to get healthcare from multi billion dollar companies with fat profit margins.
So, what you are saying, is that Democrats are extremely bad at getting their own party members to vote in line with what their voters want them to accomplish? Sounds about right.
Tesla was built off the backs of the US taxpayer. It’s so crazy to me that he’s too dumb to realize being a toxic right winger is bad for business. He gets tax payer funds from the Democrats, his customers definitely skew left of center. I always thought Tesla was insanely over valued, but with all his bullshit and the major car manufacturers giving them competition now Tesla is bound to collapse…
The ones that say the just top tier delusional horribly false things are something else. I’ve seen multiple people claiming that China is more accepting of LGBTQ people than America/the West. Denying Tianamen square…
There’s some of them mixed that are level headed communist believers. The most vocal, if not the majority seem to be totalitarian sympathizers. It’s so weird to me that all these “communists” don’t seem to realize the economic system a dictatorship claims to be doesn’t really matter.
The people who saw what it’s like first hand for a large portion of their life surely don’t know better than me. It has to be something like selection bias because they left!

I feel like the line between prostitute and women who have sex with 69 year old guys who have money and drugs is pretty blurry. Then again, I don’t really have a problem with sex work and don’t think it should really be considered a stigma or insult.
It doesn’t say anything about the amount of drugs. Drug trafficking simply means they moved the drugs with the yacht. It’s a scary copaganda word used to make things sound worse than they are. Probably just a couple grams of coke and they happened to of moved from one states waters to another.
I think a ton of the disposable vapes are THC ones being bought by travelers from states without legal pot. People not worried about being caught with a illegal device buying them… Wtf you doing?
YouTubers already become a steaming pile of shit, the shorts being pushed in your face constantly is just a symptom. Their algo, content and ads are just horrific. I used to surf YouTube a ton, now I only go when I’m looking for specific instructional type videos, maybe a review. Watch that and leave.
I think they’ve been putting out very similar games since like fallout 3. If that’s what you are looking for, it’s fun. People for some reason seem to put unrealistic expectations on things. I assume this game is just improved graphics fallout 3 in space. Which isn’t a bad thing, but if you expect a revolutionary game you are in for disappointment.
People will often ignore FHA offers or take lesser conventional offers. FHA loans fall through more often and have additional requirements on the property. I’ve worked in mortgage for years. Took an offer for 5k less when I sold my first home to take a conventional loan offer…
Anyone who’s dealt with real estate knows how much more likely the conventional offer is to close. In a seller sided market no one wants to take government loans.
Eh, I think you’re making it too complicated. The simplest explanation is normally true. They’re just brainwashed low intelligence goons forming a groupthink echo chamber. Instead of blaming brown people and “libruls” they blame capitalists, liberals etc.
I wouldn’t put it past the hexbear crazies throwing a tantrum. They claim to be left wing… Sure seem more like fascist trumper types though. Maybe it’s just that they’re all incels and incels all seem about the same.
Aren’t you supposed to own the card to use a proxy? That’s like the whole meaning of the word right, substituting for something. Not just making a fake.
I went to buy rice for the first time in like 2 years (I buy a 50 pound bag and live alone), was shocked. Bags were smaller and prices double or more. A dollar a pound used to get you some really primo rice. Now that’s the cheapest shit.
The only issue I’ve ever had with TikTok is that it’s the Chinese government spying on American citizens in a way they don’t allow America to do to theirs. Not that either instance is right but you can’t say something is wrong and not allowed and do it yourself.

I assumed this before I even opened this shit. It’s funny how it’s the same small group just spamming group of blatant pro China/Russia crap. Saw one the other day that every post or comment was pro Russia or calling anyone anti Russia/pro NATO a Nazi.
