I’m blown away that people believe trump somehow is cleaning the swamp. Like yes, the convicted fraudster who appointed his kids White House positions where they made hundreds of millions and the guy who forced the White House to use his own hotels and resorts… that’s the guy who is above corruption and will end corruption politics.

Because we know how well Trump talked about and regarded the troops.

Are these fools too stupid to look at the latest bills supporting vets and how republicans voted?

It’s mind blowing how republicans are able to convince people to vote against their own self interests so voraciously.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Home Alone.

In many ways this is the tip of the spear for changing the laws.

The same was done for any equal rights battle- blacks, women, etc. “illegal” acts had to be done.

Interestingly silent on trumps kids who were appointed White House positions and made hundreds of millions of dollars in those positions…

They should, but they wouldn’t.

We can’t even get fair treatment for humans.

Not to mention, people can’t even see past cultural veils… pigs are smarter than dogs, and people who would never eat a dog have no second thoughts eating pigs and mocking vegetarians/vegans.

When you have a system that values profits over everything, it tends to (either by accident or design) exploit workers and destroy the middle class.

With capitalism, you’ll pay the absolute minimum needed to get workers, regardless of the value they create for the business and regardless of how much profit your business is making. You’ll collude with other businesses to keep wages down, because again that’s a way to increase profit. You WONT support any worker rights laws like weekends, PTO, benefits, minimum wage, etc.

You can argue that the free market takes care of itself, but we’ve seen that isn’t true. Companies constantly exploit customers and workers. They will raise prices and lower wages in ways that a pure “free market” theoretically wouldn’t allow.

Now this isn’t to say capitalism is all bad. I do think smart people and hard working people should be rewarded. But any sufficiently large system is going to have some corruption. I’d like to have a reasonable minimum standard of living for everyone before we run off and let capitalism give us multi-billionaires. If everyone was guaranteed enough for a decent standard of living, I’d be fine with the rest being as capitalistic as anyone wants. But we dont have that. Minimum wage is $7. Healthcare is shit and tied to employment. Etc. etc.

Maybe reasonably but people are very irrational. Wish they had a cheat sheet on how to disarm the natural stubbornness and inability to admit mistake or fault. That’s usually far tougher than actually reasoning.
