hilariously out of your element
Says the one who calls me a
conservative
Dude, can't you read? I clearly said that Biden's the lesser evil by far and that the Trump presidency was a catastrophe.
I'm not calling Biden an evil because I think he's too far left. I'm calling him an evil because he's way too far right and way too authoritarian. Dude loves cops and the fascist apartheid state Israel, just like Trump does.
No. I was about to refute their misconceptions point by point but decided it wasn't worth the effort since we're ostensibly on the same side and nothing I or anyone else can say would convince them.
Same with you, it seems, so unless you actually have something to add, I suggest you take your conclusion jumping elsewhere.
Everyone except dumbasses with no critical thinking skills understands that in order to pay people a living wage, prices have to adjust accordingly
Except not really. Businesses have much wider profit margins than they pretend to.
For example, in Denmark the McDonald's entry-level wage is the equivalent of $22 and a Big Mac costs LESS than in most of the US.
If McDonald's couldn't make a profit doing that, they'd simply stop doing business in Denmark. They don't.
Restaurants run on thin margins.
Not anywhere near as thin as you think. The official numbers are AFTER artificially deflating their profits for tax avoidance reasons.
he gives up every penny of that to make payroll.
Ridiculously unrealistic.
An employee pocketing $20 probably costs his employer $40
What have you been smoking?? In the real world, workers produce a hell of a lot more value than they're given in return. That's how companies profit.
he's trying to tighten up, keep those people on the payroll.
No, he's trying to recoup the profits lost from paying his workers a living wage by making it less livable for them. He's protecting his profits, not workers.
And gets demonized for it.
And rightly so. He's acting like the put upon victim when in reality he's complaining about having to pull other exploitation levers now that one is fixed at a lower setting.
I agree, but must say I'm pretty disappointed that you didn't use the time a GOP candidate literally body slammed a reporter and STILL got elected as your example of someone actually getting slammed..
You're discounting the many actual communists that are also actual idiots.
Idiots who truly believe in communism, but also think that the fascist Russian government and the equally repressive Chinese one are that.
Once again proving the old adage that every accusation from the fascists is a confession, in Russia too.
I meant that his ELECTION prospects are worse, in part BECAUSE life in general is better and many have forgotten just how awful it used to be.
It's much easier to get elected on "we know he's not the most exciting candidate, but at least he's better than the one ruining your life right now" than on "we know he's been underwhelming but at least he hasn't been catastrophic like the one who used to ruin your life"
Actually, European fascism started in the early 20s the first time around too, with the Italian National Fascist Party founded in November 1921 and Mussolini becoming Prime minister a little under a year later.
I'm sure everything's gonna be fine this time around, though! 😬
It's what plants crave!
You obviously have a lot more faith in the rationality of voters than I do, in spite of the whole gestures at entire world thing.
In stead of pointing out details, I'm just gonna hope that your faith will be rewarded in a little under 11 months and wish you a nice day.
That fucking amazing! 😮🤣 Gotta love Letterkenny 🥰
I was actually quoting Bo Burnham's equally hilarious Country Song though 😁
