*40 year inflation brought on because the government wanted 14 years of free money for Corporations.
Monetary policy and Corporate price gouging are the drivers for inflation. Everything else is noise.
Then you should have voted blue, idiot. This situation exists because of apathy and antigovernment sentiment.
Mostly agreed, but is anyone really getting minimum wage? Walmart pays double that to start in my little town.
Idaho has federal minimum and iirc laws preventing county or city minimums to be higher than the state minimum. Lots of service and farmhand jobs there are at minimum wage. One of the places I used to work was saught after in the town because they pay higher than minimum. I made $7.50/hr

Go to places like KY, IN, TN, WV. Probably LA, and MS. They regularly start people @ minimum wage, and the rents are about 2/3 what I would pay in San Diego.

"a genocide" LOL...this palestine propaganda is really getting out og hand. it is one of the many current genocides. russians wiping out cultures and nations, china on tibet or the uigurs, shit syria on aramaics and assyrians, fucking turkey on kurds and armenians. but yeah...it is "one" genocide now. kids are fucking stupid.
You had me in the first part, NGL.
How dare you assume I was talking about Palestine, I was talking about the Uyghurs in China.
How can Steve ban tiktok if Doug won't let him mitigate homelessness? Why is Bob talking about housing when Alex is gung-ho on genocide?
Sorry, I meant to ask: how can the government ban tiktok when the government won't do anything about homelessness? How can the government be proud of mitigating homelessness when the government supports genocide?
Citizens United must be a curse from a Greek god. A funny little jab to highlight our tendency to oversimplify.
Watch? That would imply looking at the situation, so no I don't think that's quite the right word...
For one side it's more like "stand back and stand by", if you catch my drift, while for the other it's somewhat like claiming every four years to always have a ready supply of hot sauce stored in one's purse. (you see, a "purse" is a bag that we poors, specifically women, use to carry things - basically it's a nonmoving car where your butler puts all the "things" that you need for the entire day, except you are your own butler, and the purse doesn't drive to anywhere, and it gets heavy!)
I’m on board with the sentiment but are we really defending TikTok? I haven’t kept up on the issue but personally I wouldn’t cry if TikTok went away.
We are not defending tiktok
Didn't you know that if you criticize one thing it means the opposite is perfect and beyond reproach!
Facefuck and Twatter are just as bad but they spy on Americans for America, so it is allowed
Exactly get rid of all of them
I want Facebook! The one without recommendations and with posts from my friends.
They won't go away until people stop using them, and good luck with that.

They aren't protecting you. They are protecting themselves from what you may give their enemies. Don't think just because the federal government is doing something "for the people" that nominally it's not about the government itself. National security is literally the government protecting itself by protecting its citizens.
Facebook sold personal data to a foreign organization called Cambridge Analytica who used it to influence our elections. If their motivations are to protect us via protecting themselves, why is Facebook not banned, and not even in the discussion of being banned?

Pretty much this! Also it is much easier and cheaper to tell Google to stop offering tiktok in their app store then it is to build affordable housing where it is needed..
Yea but where? There’s a push for it in my state. Drove past a new area that will be a neighborhood of cookie cutter SFH, probably with driveways too short to contain full size vehicles. And they’ll cost more than half a million so I’m not sure how that’s affordable. Anyway. It’s being built on the flood plain. 8/10 flood factor.
We really need more high density housing closer to urban centers, but Americans seem to be allergic to it. Everyone wants their single family house. Also too, without subsidies they're is no profit incentive for developers to build the necessary housing stock, they all shoot for "luxury" housing because it's the most profitable.
I've always wanted like... A townhome. But the problem is anything like that (even away from city/population centers but still near enough to commute is astronomically expensive.

Ah yes, the obvious solution: more suburban blight.
