If this bill fails we should all go long water and opt for physical delivery instead of cash settlement.
“Yes, seller of water futures, you have to deliver 800,000 cubic feet of water to my house. That’s derivatives bruh!”
Seriously you have to talk to these finance bozos in the only language they understand- money. For some reason, “people need water (and housing etc.) to live” just doesn’t get through to them.
In Mexico there is a town run by Coca Cola and the people literally believe in what I think is Fanta. Everyone dies of diabetes and the undertaker sees what’s going on, but it’s part of the religion. Coca Cola owns the water in that town. I think it’s a Vice report.
This sounds like a plot from fallout.
It’s almost like Fallout is inspired by real life…
If Biden stepped down and Warren was on the ballot again I would definitely vote in this upcoming election.
Vote against trump then? Unless you never want to vote again I guess
I only vote for, not against
Vote for not criminalizing human being? Vote for not giving tax breaks to the wealthy?
You can vote based on fear. I’ll sit this one out until there’s a candidate I actually want to lead our country.
It sounds like you’re looking at this like you’re choosing someone to marry. I’ll wait for the one. I don’t want to settle. Etc… but you may never, ever get a candidate you like. Instead, I suggest you think of it like picking a city bus. Is this one going where I want to go? Probably not but it’s closer. And unfortunately, in this metaphor, you have to get on a bus anyway. “Sitting this one out” just means getting on someone else’s bus.
It’s okay, when the Nazis come, they’ll realize that he is a purist and will not do anything bad to him.
You are the problem.
You’re brainwashed. The system is the problem. They want us peasants playing the imaginary game fighting with each other instead of unifying and making real change. You’re a pawn.
Unifying and making real change means coming together and voting against the fascist that’s going to make everything worse.
Feeling righteous about not doing the one thing that can actually help is immature and stupid.
Ad hominem. I don’t participate in fear based politics or hate based discussion. Try again.
If you’re not either participating in politics by voting, running for office or campaigning; or actively attempting to overthrow the government, then you are accepting whatever government we have and whatever government gets voted in.
There’s nothing morally wrong in voting for the less-bad of available. options now, while still working toward changes that give us better choices in the future. If nothing else, if you really cared about how this country and world runs, you would at least be voting for whoever you think will give you even a SLIGHTLY better chance of allowing or enabling the change you want to see.
The absolute least useful thing you could possibly do is throw up your hands and give up and not participate. As a matter of fact, that’s exactly what extremes on both ends of the political spectrum want you to do. The fewer people who participate, the easier it is for them to get away with all the money and power.
It’s the opposite. They need your participation to keep the machine churning. The more you care about red vs blue the more money they make and the longer the system prospers with little real change. Another 4 years of Trump is what the Democratic Party needs to get off their asses (no pun intended) and actually give us somebody who’s gonna make real changes.
It’s all business, you’re the consumer and our lives are the currency. If you’re not buying what they’re selling, they’re gonna need to give you what you want.
So close but still framing it as “Blue needs to save us so we need to punish them with Red”, which is still red vs blue thinking
They need your participation to keep the machine churning.
You are 100% incorrect about this. The system will continue regardless of your participation. Sitting on the sidelines and pouting about the rules being bad does nothing but make you look like a child.
Absolutely fucked that it’s even a thing in the first place
i think it’s more fucked that many leftists refuse to believe that this is happening despite stories like this coming out
I have never once met a leftist that was unduly skeptical about corporations or the government causing death for money. Who have you been talking to?
. Who have you been talking to?
The wrong ones, but it looks like it doesn’t matter when you look at the other responses my comment initiated
I only see mine and a response to mine.
Strawmen
ha!!!
Fuck cunt she fucked over progressive for her career. Anything she claims to want to pass that even sounds progressive, either isn’t really progressive or she knows it won’t pass and she uses it as a prompt.
This cunt would vote against Healthcare for all if it had a chance to pass. Remember she "capitalist to her bones’
This isn’t going to be popular, but fuck her. She shat on our chance of change. I’m still going to vote for the current Dems because of obvious reasons, but I’m not going to like doing it.
