There aren't 40 million black descendants in America. It would be 25m tops. Are we going to make the third of America who did not have ancestry back then pay for it? Or only "white" people, of which 98.6% had nothing to do with slavery?
I just came to realize this: the people I know who are "all in" on this covid thing are the ones who have no lives, never go out, never do anything, and sit and read reddit all weekend. They love covid because it justifies their shitty lifestyle.
You've laid it out accurately. I continue to believe most of the Dims around me actually believe in the common-sense argument... they are just brainwashed and fed propaganda so they don't vote correctly. Listen to Richard Baris (People's Pundit): he does a ton of polling and proves over and over that the vast majority of Americans don't support all this insane shit. They want ballot-harvesting banned. They want voter ID, a wall. The want illegals to fuck off. They hate tribalism. Maybe none of this truth matters, as long as they continue to vote for Leftists... but I hold out hope that at some point some of these trends and fads will go away.
Just went on a trip to visit the inlaws after not seeing them for a year. Half didn't show up, they said they made it a whole year on lockdown, why mess up now that they are so close to getting a vaccine. I was so fucking pissed, drove all day for this "get together". A few days later 2 of them did get the vaccine... but still wouldn't see us. The excuse? "Well the vaccine isn't 100%, so..."
Remember when AIDS was becoming a household name? Eddie Murphy had a joke about your girlfriend going out with her gay friend, kissing him on the lip and bringing home the AIDS. Can you imagine if we forced people to get AIDS I.D. cards? If you can't prove you don't have AIDS you can't work, can't buy food, can't travel. Random housewives screaming in the faces of gay men. And if you DO have AIDS? What then? There is a pretty good reason why medical records are kept private.
In the 80s I would've assumed if 3/4 of the world had a super-computer in their pocket, with access to all the world's info - that the average Joe would understand the difference between there, their and they're. Boy was I wrong!
Yesterday morning my wife - who is not particularly political - goes into a tirade against the border problem and how Joe is handling it. Says we may have to leave the country, rather than pay for the entire third world. In the afternoon I visited my very old father - who is not particularly political - and he goes into a tirade at what is going on at the southern border and how Joe is handling it. Maybe this is pissing off the normies?
Please watch "By the way - Woody Allen is innocent" on youtube, it is excellent. The HBO series was literally commissioned by Mia. Study her and you will discover she is your typical Lefty SJW, who fabricates drama... it comes down to this in EVERY one of these cases (Blasey Ford, Mattress Girl, etc): Is the victim trying to build a legal case for justice under the law? Or is the "victim" trying to build some media lore while avoiding all legal avenues? Dylan still has 12 more years to file charges, why hasn't she? Also worth reading Moses' book... the only sane Previn.
That's not true, it was 3X salary. It's also not apples to apples - do some math on what a 17% interest rate does to your interest portion, vs 3%. Housing prices in the US were low due to it being the youngest nation, and coming off a war that killed of 7% of the global population. Now we have caught up to everywhere else in the world where the average pleb will never own anything.
Then tell me why Boomers are voting correctly and Millennials aren't. Boomers didn't ban Dr. Suess, or Apu, or plastic straws. In fact they created them. The "power" comes from entering and shaping the workforce, the culture, and how you set up your spawn. The "power" comes from the 20-30 years olds, who can burn down cities and get the vice president to bail them out. Face it - your generation is absolute fucking garbage and has set a trajectory that will end the USA.
I'm sorry - "your guy" ran up a national debt of almost $8 trillion dollars in the space of 4 years. The next guy will be even worse. By your logic - you own that since you voted for it, and didn't try to stop it... or even complain about it. Boomers didn't do jack shit except try to live their lives the best they could with the resources and knowledge they had available to them (kinda like every generation). Life was good under the Boomer's time. Can't say the same about Millennials.
Imagine you watched Maddow every night and you believed Trump is a pawn of Putin. You believed he had prostitutes pee on a bed and Putin had the tapes and was blackmailing him into doing his bidding. After 4 years of analysis and a $40 million investigation there was zero proof found... and yet you still believed. You don't really need proof, you just know Trump is corrupt in your heart. That is "faith".
Atheism is simply NOT believing in crazy theories until there is evidence.
Then we pack it to 50.
