It takes a lot of sugar for it to act as a preservative. Like candy levels of sugar. Below those levels it’s part of a growth medium (i.e., food).

Of course he is.

He’s not the bar we need to rate everybody against, though. Being better than Trump is not enough. Let’s hold our government to reasonable standards.

We built an entire system based on perverse incentives and then act surprised at the outcomes.

In before “But… but… whatabout Trump!”

This sort of bad faith badgering is what he does. The best strategy is to avoid engaging with him at all. He has nothing better to do with his time and will keep it up indefinitely.

Also note that he’s a mod on many of the channels he posts on and has been alleged to wield the cudgel readily.

Americans aren’t lining up to do these jobs at low wages, without proper worker protections. Creating a society that depends on a lower tier of people that have fewer rights is seriously fucked up and is not something we should be embracing.

Siding with the rich business owners who are taking advantage of illegal immigrants is extra weird.

Not too far from the truth. The scientists are also putting random stuff in there just to see what it looks like!

But we really need to know what Random Internet Arbiter Of Truth has to say. That bot is why we come here.

That is a brilliant idea! I’d bet the hoplophobes could look past it too if it made Trump look like a chump.

Many of them are voting for Trump because the Democratic Party has abandoned them entirely for decades now. It’s stupid to fall for his lies, but he’s at least bothering to address them as a demographic in need of attention (with lies, of course).

Listening to NPR the other day, there was a piece on how many of the unions aren’t endorsing Harris (either candidate, actually) and that it’s because the working class whites men that make up the unions aren’t ready for a mixed-race female president. Of course jumping right to blaming the voters of bigotry instead of admitting that neither Harris, nor Biden or the party in general, has done anything to earn a union endorsement. If they were just bigots, wouldn’t they be endorsing Trump?

Trump is shit, but Biden’s hands are not even close to clean in this situation. He has done everything he could to allow the situation to escalate and the war is starting in earnest on his watch.

Let’s all be honest here and recognize when our team is doing the wrong thing also.

Who brought Trump into this comparison?

You can “win” this argument if you want to. I don’t really care. My issue was with Gates being described as a good hearted oligarch. I’m not trying to rank them or say that Gates is the worst or anything. Rewriting history so that Gates is a good guy is a bit much though.
