Cynthia Nixon never held a political office before, but between her decades-long political activism, clean capital record, and continual proof of having the big, bold ideas to clean up Albany, not taking any corporate PAC money, and improve New Yorkers' lives thousandfold, she's EASILY more qualified to be NY governor than the heinously corrupt Andrew Cuomo!

The U.S. is super-rich, but we give massive amounts of dough to the military, for-profit wars, banks, and the 1%, when the rich can be taxed and the money shuffled by the government can be allocated to:
- combat poverty,
- tuition-free public college,
- rebuild Puerto Rico (and cancel its debt),
- single-payer medicare for all,
- weed legalization,
- nationwide living wage.
Because of this, the phrase "How do you pay for *insert human rights program*?" should never be asked in American politics again.

Taxing the rich is a BAD IDEA. http://www.inflationomics.com/article.php?article=Four Problems with Taxing the Rich
https://www.commondreams.org/.../10-reasons-not-tax-rich-and-why-theyre-all-bad This article makes even better cases.
Sorry I'm not an economics expert or anything, it's a really complex subject. However I know I've read over and over again that taxing the rich is not the solution. Your ideas are good and all. Here's one more article with pros and cons. https://toughnickel.com/industries/Should-we-tax-the-rich-more-pros-and-cons

Sometimes I wonder how much these kinds of things would pay for themselves if certain corporations stopped dodging taxes entirely. It's an interesting outlier in the "tax the rich" strategy that doesn't seem to get covered much for some reason.

thing is it'll never happen
like
ever
it's innate to our human conciousness and it will never change because humans, despite there being many good people in this world, are naturally assholes
the only way things will change for the better is alien invasion or some other outside threat to force us to join together because otherwise I can never see all the change people want to happen

While armchair neoliberals continue to bitch and moan at Susan Sarandon, she's out there actually resisting Trump (and getting arrested for it).

The Greatest Youtube Videos You've Ever Seen

Mr. Rogers is such an international treasure that can never be duplicated. But out of everything he ever did in his show, perhaps the best moment is when he met then-10-year-old Jeff Erlanger, who became paralyzed when he was under a year old due to spinal tumors. This moment below is unbelievably sweet and will make people shed a tear. Please, watch it all the way through. You won't regret it. -
My Little Pony: Ace Attorney - Bucking Justice (逆転ポニー8) - Official Thread v2
Dark Qiviut replied to Sean's topic in Chit-Chat
I already watched it when it was leaked, and my thoughts remain the same. Non-Compete Clause is crap. AJ and Rainbow Dash were completely OOC here, especially the latter for putting her focus on winning Teacher of the Month over the Student Six's safety while rowing. Thank God FIM's a piece of fiction, because had it be real-life, the school and Twilight might've had their plots sued for negligence. This episode features easily my bottom moment of the season: Yona nearly drowning. You'd think for a second that Dash and AJ would stop acting competitive with each other, grow the fuck up, and learn to be teachers. Instead, they continue to qualify one of Neighsay's strongest criticisms of the School: AJ and RD act completely unqualified. You two, this isn't Fall Weather Friends; at least you two weren't that close at the time, and the stakes were much lower. Had they remained competent and in character, that canoeing accident wouldn't have happened, and Yona wouldn't have to have her life saved. The dialogue itself is lousy. Clunky, forced, and painfully unfunny. To make it worse, this episode feels a lot like filler. After thy learned how their competitive behavior got in the way, they started arguing again, and it was all back to square one. The only saving graces here are Twilight calling Dash and AJ out for their shit (and threatening to take over the field trip after Yona nearly drowned) and Dash and AJ getting nominated for TotM — them risking that reward will make them think about how stupid they behaved on the trip. Overall, a major thumbs down. -
Susan Sarandon is SO influential over the hundreds of celebrities and tabloids that endorsed Clinton that people still smear her as the reason Trump won the presidency. */sarcasm*
Here's a protip: If you truly believe that ONE celebrity is that responsible for costing her millions of votes, then Clinton's not as good a presidential candidate as you make her out to be.

With his 3,055th hit today, Adrian Beltre passes Rod Carew for the most ever by a Latin-born ballplayer. The continuation of an amazing career.

The poutrage (stolen from the user below) by Neoliberal/Donut/Hillbot Twitter after Senator Sanders stated yesterday in Mississippi that Obama's charisma masked the Democratic Party's institutional failure to connect with the 99% is really telling of what their backwards priorities are. My Party isn't fine, and the Democratic establishment is too incompetent to realize that. Maybe Neoliberal Twitter should work to help the 99% rather than sit on their asses, take shit out of context, and manufacture anger.

@Rusty Spy As he should. The Democratic Party lost over 1,000 seats in the last decade, and a good chunk of that has to do with how how of touch the DNC and Democratic Party as a whole are. If the DNC refuses to change, Progressive Dems will replace them, or the DNC can kiss their relevance goodbye.

Moondancer is worst pony. It's so petty and selfish of her to attempt to come out of her introverted shell, believing Twilight would have the heart to give up reading books for once and socialize with others. How dare she feel so rightfully hurt that Twilight stood her up and left town, thereby humiliating her at her most vulnerable moment and making her believe that friendship isn't worth it anymore.

FIM sucks. Why can't it be like G3, where girls can't witness genuine conflict and have plots that treat them like idiots? It needs more misogynistic pandering.
-
Changing Rainbow Dash from a generic fashionista into a badass hero with an actual personality was the moment when the franchise jumped the shark, imo.
-
I agree. Girls are idiots and need entertainment that panders to that.
-
and then stupid BOYS got interested in the franchise.
it ain't natural, i tells ya.
