“The comfort of the rich depends upon an abundant supply of the poor.” ― Voltaire

Those are both clearly libtarded quotes.

They are, above all else, self-congratulatory, which is the core of libtardation.

That's a bit better.

Nah, mere self-congratulation again.

thanks for playing extreme capitalism

BTW, it's the Democrats who are forcing people to play extreme capitalism with their absolute and unwavering support for outsourcing US jobs to China and insourcing millions of illegals.

Global capitalism = extreme capitalism = Democratic Party = NY Times = NPR

“Ultimately, totalitarianism is the only sort of politics that can truly serve the sky-god's purpose. Any movement of a liberal nature endangers his authority and that of his delegates on earth. One God, one King, one Pope, one master in the factory, one father-leader in the family at home.” —Gore Vidal

What was life like under Matriarchy? Dead by 30 from a disease of the tooth, or eaten tooth and claw.

The famous historic surgeon John Hunter took a special interest in oral conditions, partially because death rolls of the day consistently showed tooth abcess as one of the three top causes of death. Still happens, but is now an uncommon condition due to modern practices.
In the old West, the greatest hazard to European settlers was other European settlers, followed by gun accidents, various diseases, wild animals and only very distantly Injuns.

"I am not wearing my mask for me, I am wearing it for you. Now put your mask on for me you selfish MF'er"

Whatever happened to the thermite theories?

Someday we'll get the real story, maybe.

There are no accidents, only intentional accidents.

Only time I've worn one was Monday for a board meeting as a courtesy to older folks on the board. I usually wear contacts, but wore glasses. Fuck masks and the fog that comes with them. Particles can easily still get around the top and bottom on most masks people are wearing. They can then get stuck there and you're sucking on them while wearing. The positive and negative result of wearing is a wash in my mind, with it potentially being more harmful with an improper mask.

Also, I was chewing gum too, but fuck, even my own breath that close is nasty. No cavities or dental problems in my entire life, so the pearly whites are cared for.

thermite theories

flames do not look as if they were from thermite (iron oxide + aluminium powder)

I want a mask that says...

"These Masks are Useless you Fucking Knobs!"

This leaking may be designed to induce the Saudis to cease their attack on our energy industry. Either way, it's fucked up. Release the information to the American citizens!

Let's not start.

If you believe that two planes can cause three steel framed buildings to utterly collapse into their footprint, that's your willfully ignorant decision.

agreed, lets not start - we can argue back and forth.

We can agree tho on gov't definitely hiding a lot of things and not being honest about 9/11 :)

ONLY massive voting fraud with mail-in ballots can change this outcome. Which I predict has a 75% chance of happening between now and when 'all the votes are counted'.

"Vote Mining" as well? Would be funny if illegals voted for Garcia because of the Spanish surname.

Apparently illegals are refusing to send in ballots, believing Trump that they will be deported. That is fucking awesome.

I remember last election where Republicans were winning, and than truck loads of "harvested" ballots came in last minute and flipped every election. They got really "outplayed".

Once again, Spanish mutilators oppress the Indians.

Maybe folks just wanted a clean break from the party of their previous representative.

I already assumed that was happening.

BOOM! Wisconsin Supremes rule Gov does not have the power to implement shutdown without consulting Legislature. Immediately invalidates shutdown - way beyond what plaintiffs asked for.

I guess I'm ignorant as well!

World Trade Center 7 a 53 story steel framed building fell down at 5:30PM on 9/11/2001. No plane hit it.

I heard on the radio today that grocery prices had the biggest one month increase in prices in April since (not sure either the depression or WW2).

2 point something percent, one month increase in grocery prices.

So that must mean other categories were dropping hard.

Don't worry. They will surely find a way to screw over responsible people / savers. Hell, look at what recently passed!

Good. Fuck that fake market.

Can't get it made in America if the NIMBYs strangle all abilities to compete!

When you have one state with a sensible leader like Governor Cuomo who states he is reopening the state based on COVID-19 infections and hospital capacity, and then you have a nut like Mayor Garcetti who is doing quite the opposite by locking down the city for the summer, then this is what you have as far as an economy on the verge of destruction.

Garcetti is just trying to jockey for a cabinet level job in the Biden administration by doing this. Cuomo cares too much about New York to play that game.

This is exactly what it should be. Now each locality can decide on its own, and not a "one size fits all" for the whole state.

CPI is currently based on these approximate percentages:
40% housing
15% food
15% transportation
7% medical
The rest on clothing, entertainment, etc.

"Factory furloughs across the U.S. are becoming permanent closings, a sign of the heavy damage the coronavirus pandemic and shutdowns are exerting on the industrial economy."

There, fixed it for you.

Barr is now stalling so that all of the scumbag Judges can take a crack at exposing their criminal use of their office.

It's going to be a long train and a glorious perpwalk of every no good commie son of a bitch in Washington.

The sheriff in a neighboring county in IL just put out that he cannot enforce JB no neck Pritzker's executive orders regarding the shutdown. Said it's not law and therefore cannot be enforced by police. Said he wouldn't be breaking up gatherings as it's not an illegal infraction to have gatherings regardless of the number of people.

The dam has cracks and is about to break I think. Good riddance.

"US consumer prices declined for the second-straight month in April",

Sure beats April, 1974's yearly average of 10.1%! For all of 1974, the average was 13.5%

"Media outlets are called to social distance themselves from the truth, suppressing any good news and positive things Trump is doing." Seems to be working.

Those powers were not allowed to be given to CA Gov by the CA Legislature. The Legislature doesn't get/understand what they think they did is unconstitutional and thus null and void. That's the beauty of a Constitution. It is rules that have to be followed, and can't just be changed willy nilly, without a large portion of the people agreeing to it.

All I know is I might take a drive up to Wisconsin and get a burger, beer and some cheese curds. These state supreme courts are going to start overturning this shit left and right. Or businesses are just going to open up and say fuck it, we listened for a couple months now and we know what the problem is, it's not us.
