What do you suggest people do then? Protest the vote and take to the streets? Not asking to be a dick, just genuinely curious.

Yo check this out. First, we stop sending them, saving tax dollars. Then, we release the ones inside, saving tax dollars. Then, we make it recreationally legal, creating tax dollars. Then we fuckin’ ban for profit prisons lol

Or maybe just a pile of money kinda lookin’ like Jabba the Hut.

Absolutely. I guess I just consider those things more in the realm of “hobby” rather than a job that might come to the union. No reason someone shouldn’t be able to make wood-whatever and sell it in their retirement. That was actually one of the things my dad argued, it’s sad to see someone work their whole lives to become a tradesman, only to have that same ability kneecapped because you’ve retired. And I agree. That’s why I also made point 3, because usually when things don’t make sense there’s a reason. Whether it’s a lack of information or just misinformation. We both had a lot of questions neither of us could answer, ya know?

Had to explain this to my dad when he told me about the carpenters unions not allowing his brother to work after he retired.

1: Unions are the democratization of workplaces; for better or for worse.

2: Should you really be working when you’re claiming retirement checks from your union?

3: People are often falsely confident on their views about things. People love to complain about the government while hardly understanding anything about it. The same happens everywhere, including unions. Just because some dude is miffed doesn’t mean they have any right to be. They can be misinformed.

American politics is so fucked, man.

This is far left to you? Jesus fucking Christ. We’re doomed.

When you’re expected to do something, there’s no real point in announcing it.

Death to Amerika.

Won’t somebody come and dismantle all of America’s self defense capabilities? Please?

They make the dish, they should eat it too. Death to Amerika.

Arsenic book covers are a thing? ….. Hello, eBay……

Using the word ‘terrorist’ doesn’t convey that message at all, unless you mean it sarcastically or facetiously. Which also wasn’t conveyed. Just saying, might be good to use an indicator. Especially when Americans are such blood thirsty psychos.

Website? You're talking about 99% of people in America.

This is a country where some greedy hicks are trying to sell a pair of shoes for $75,000 because a rapper used a picture of them. Capitalism knows no bounds.

It was never great, you were just deluded. Or, you enjoyed taking part in the spoils of slavery and imperialism. lol

A person born with hatred out of those conditions is not a terrorist. They have every right to feel the way to do.

Typical westerners, acknowledging their plight and still blaming the victims.

America really needs (deserves, really) a nuke dropped on it.

Put these assholes in check.

You want to be so flippant about human life? Hopefully someone comes along and gives America that same fucking treatment.

Fuck America and fuck Israel.

America too 🙏🏼

This is like saying: Anthony Blinken said something, so that means Biden said the thing.

Sure, you could make the case that they are charging for the same beliefs, but Jesus Christ. It’s not hard to tell the truth.

All you had to do was add “ ‘s spokesperson” or some shit.

So many gun owners I know share similar sentiments. Gun ownership to them is all about getting a legal kill. America is disgusting.

Absolutely. Of all places to see rhetoric like that, Al Jazeera? Granted, it was just some US Defense dog they were interviewing about the current escalation.

Same homie. I can’t even imagine what it was like to be a leftist after 9/11. The whole fucking country was blood thirsty. Heard my friends say some of the most abhorrent shit, and just brushed it off as patriotism.

So fucking glad I found my way out.
