i am joking ok? i don't swim or the statue of liberty would need a air bottle
i know what is going on in the real world. we are in a transition from liberal bs policy's and regulations that cripple our country to more common sense.
you can't haul anything for any distance with a truck trying to get 65 mpg.
Under the Biden administration, NHTSA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had issued rules aiming to increase fuel efficiency significantly, reaching a fleet-wide average of 49 mpg for passenger cars and light trucks by 2026.
A 2024 NHTSA rule established standards aiming for 65 mpg for passenger vehicles by 2031.
You might not even have midterms, if it's up to Trump.
Disengagement is a sure way to lose your democracy.
But, democracy can be destroyed very quickly and it takes decades to restore.
Trump's presidency is staggering, the fall can come quickly, if everyone pushes.
You have a lot of years still in you. Don't live it out under fascism.
the younger generation can't even decide if they are male or female, and you expect them to care about democracy? hell, as long as they get a check each month, they are not going to give a shit.
You know why? Because they took money from the wealthy just like Republicans.
The wealthy pay the Republicans to fight for them, and they pay the Democrats
to bend the knees for them. That's why the libs are WEAK.
The only true fighters are THE LEFT. I think even you can see that.
It never took any courage to be a Republican. The wealthy got their backs.
Never any consequences, no matter how many laws you break.
Get rich doing nothing.
At least the libs have to make believe that they are doing something for the people.
Republicans just say that lazy and brown people caused your poverty,
and that lower taxes for the rich will bring you (better paying) jobs.
Best lie ever, when you have enough stupid people to vote for you.
Being a MAGA politician is the easiest job ever. You go on TV, to spread lies
once a week, you don't have to think, or write complicated laws, you just break shit, never show up for work, while the money keeps flowing in from the wealthy, Israel and Russia, and the stupid cult members.
your shit is what is old.
She just wants a standard democracy, instead of an oligarchy.
Obama in jail
The Clinton’s in jail
The Biden’s all in jail
Bill gates in jail
Oprah in jail
Kamala Harris in jail
Whoopi Goldberg in jail
And a whole bunch more that I’m forgetting
Openly supports imprisoning everyone who ever made him angry.
Legendary!
They will only 'invade a man’s property' if he cheats on his taxes.
That's not Biden breaking the law, that's him upholding the law.
If there is no one making sure people pay their taxes, no one will.
And then your country goes bankrupt. It's already pretty close to it.
You probably are a tax cheat, but that's you breaking the law, not Biden.
Throwing Biden in jail, so they don't go after you? Are you fucking crazy?
If you think that Trump will let you scam taxes, you're really dumb.
He only lets the wealthy do that, NOT YOU. He needs YOU to pay MORE.
What do you think tariffs are? TAXES! ON YOU!
What about Oprah? She's at best a centrist. What did she do?
And Whoopi Goldberg? She's damn right-wing and ignorant as fuck.
Did you just thrown in some black women, for good measure?
Even if the government only pays for the military and the police,
that money still needs to come from somewhere.
And then who will pay for everything else? People!
It's either taxes, or you will need to pay for everything you want to use.
Want to drive this road? $5 please! Want to cross this bridge? $10 please.
That's much more expensive, because it's incredibly inefficient.
That would completely destroy the US, the opposite of MAGA.
Are you really this brainwashed or just acting like it?
they come get it from the average American and the poor.
It was your choice to have them do the latter.
They also don't need that many IRS agents, to go after normal Americans,
because you don't have an army of lawyers hiding your money
and defending you, when you break the law.
By letting Trump fire IRS agents, you are securing yourself as the targets.
Now the wealthy can cheat even more, while you get punished for a mistake.
Did DOGE find even one big wealthy tax-cheat?
No, they canceled grandma's social security.
If you don't learn from that, you never will.
Anything to say about dgraff wanting to imprison everyone you dislike?
You have the balls (and I’m using this as a figure of speech, not a statement of fact) to still think this Clown has your interest at heart? Sad.
Trump is an incredible narcissist, he only cares about himself.
The only reason he became president again is to save himself from prison.
The whole world saw him be a traitor and break the law about 100 times.
In any real democracy, he would have been behind bars the next day.
Companies during pride month, then vs. now

If you don't like socialism, provide a link to a video called:
"How Capitalists Solved The Housing Crisis"
You don't need social housing, you can afford to buy.
So do I, but I still think people who are not as lucky,
deserve to live in a decent home as well.
They are a useless burden to society. It's your fault for creating them.
I'm not a lefty/socialist out of compassion alone, but because it's better for ALL OF US.
It maximizes people's potential, so they contribute to society.
Bums in cardboard boxes don't contribute anything. Well, maybe diseases.
so they could live in a nice box.
whats wrong with putting down the needle or the bottle and going to work?
whats wrong with not having kids or pets if you can't feed them>?
whats wrong with people that they think the rest of us owe people that choose to be worthless bums a damn thing?
What's wrong is your 'thinking' that those problems apply to all bums.
Your system is very good at crushing people, who do everything right.
There are many people who have no fault at all for getting crushed.
People's lives can also get crushed to rubble, AFTER having kids or pets.
Losing ones job or losing ones health is a big risk of that. No fault of them.
We should have a system who prevents occurrences like that crushing people.
The US didn't have that already, but your political side made it even worse.
There is nothing wrong with people who think we owe each other,
there is something wrong with people who think everyone is on their own.
It isn't logical and it isn't consistent with any religion.
In any case, the majority of people don't agree with you, and they will fight back.
The worse it gets before they succeed at it, the harder your side will fall.
taking away all motivation to improve 1's self by making sure the folks know they will not suffer for being lazy and non productive.
tax the rich to pay for the lazy, the rich will just leave and your system would not support it's self.
edit, i got to thinking, damn, i must be poor, i don't have access to a swimming pool.
so can i live in this cheap government housing since i can't afford a pool? wait, i can get a plastic kiddy pool from walmart so i guess i don't qualify.
what would motivate people to do better for themselves if they are living cheap off the governments taxing the "wealthy" ?
and where is the line between wealthy and living in this cheap housing? what is to stop bill gates from putting his estate into a trust and moving in?
do you have a pool cat? maybe you could move into that fancy place built on the tax payers dime?
if you don't have a pool,you are poor according to the socialist
what we as a country need to be looking at is who do we put in for 2028? we need to continue the progress we are making as Rome was not built in a day and our country was not torn apart over night. it takes time,aka years, to fix the fucks up of obama-biden, just the border crisis alone will affect us for decades as we don't know how many terrorist swam over and spoke some spanish to get a free ride to wherever
well first, they would reduce the stupid regulations that cause houses to be so expensive.
We can't use what are referred to as tiny homes in my county, zoning won't allow it. why? because the democrat led county would rather bring in sub divisions with 400,000 dollar plus homes into the area and tax them.
another thing, the bullshit laws preventing you from building your own home on your own property should be abolished. you can't even cut lumber from trees on your own land to use in your home. your home,not the countys home that taxes it.
developers push down acres of trees and burn them to make way for new houses and then import lumber to build them. the very trees they push down and burn could be made into lumber and used on the homes being built. it was done that way years ago.
but not any more. why? because dems can't collect sales tax from the lumber.
i could go on, and may add some more later. but i have a feeling common sense,back to basics solutions are not what you are looking for.
I'm NOT supporting "liberal ideas", related to housing.
"Liberal" in that sense mean exactly what you want. Liberalization of housing means: privatization and deregulation. That's exactly what our government did and which resulted in skyrocketing rent and house prices.
I'm not a liberal, I'm a socialist, I support public ownership.
That's the opposite of privatization and deregulation.
First get your terminology straight, before you discuss economic models for housing.
Right wing policies, (neo)liberal policies, privatization and deregulation,
have NEVER on any significant scale resulted in lower living costs for the public.
However, left-wing (not liberal) policies have been proven to work many times.
When governments increase public ownership, regulation, and long-term investment in housing, affordability, quality, and access tend to improve, especially for lower- and middle-income households. This has been tried and done large scale many times, all over the world, to great success.
There is overwhelming evidence that it worked in Vienna, Austria, Sweden, Singapore and The Netherlands, until the 1990s. I have lived the successes and I have seen the results of privatization and deregulation all around me.
Houses are not so expensive because of stupid regulations, houses are so expensive because it's one of the simplest way for rich people to exploit poor people, when a government privatizes and deregulates housing.
I don't THINK that my ideas the only 1's that might work.
There is just a FUCK-TON of EVIDENCE that your ideas DON'T work and mine DO.
Civilization has been building houses for a while now. Right?
All the ideas have been tried and tested, all over the world.
They just keep telling you that you need deregulation, because it makes a small group of wealthy people even more wealthy, over the backs of everyone else.
You just listen to the people who get paid to LIE FOR THEM.
you can identify it quickly if the buildings are more than a couple years old because there is trash everywhere, they are covered in graffiti ,with junk cars in the parking lot and a mobile police tower nearby.
because the people that use that housing don't work,won't work and do not take any pride in what is provided,don't appreciate it nor do they care how others feel about the way they treat what is provided for them.
if you were given a home, how would you treat it? more than likely you would keep it clean and so forth,why can't everyone?
i worked with a black man for a while and sometimes we would go into poverished areas of town while working and i finally ask him 1 day," why is all this trash laying around?" he said, "because they are poor". i pointed to a plastic grocery bag laying near a park bench and ask him how money it would cost to pick up that bag,put some loose garbage in it and place it into a city provided trash can. he suddenly couldn't answer that question. people are quick to blame their lack of funds on all kinds of issues. and for some reason folks like you tend to make it taboo to ask them why funds are relevant to taking pride in what you do have and taking care of it.
If you don't want to inform yourself about what the rest of the world does,
your worldview on this is totally skewed.
you are over there,living what apparently is a very blessed life,not a care in the world.
You could actually learn a lot, from the successes of others.
But, you would rather believe that you're the best at everything.
It's a thing that CAN work, if you don't want to change the system itself,
but it's a policy of accepting defeat to capitalism.
