Janelle Bynum wins race for Congress, flipping U.S. House seat from GOP to Democratic control
  • My inner cynic is coming to the surface on this one. I would rather the GOP control all 3 branches so it doesn't give them an excuse that the "other side" is holding back progress or some other bullshit. Yes it would mean unchecked power, but it might be the only way to open people's eyes.....I can't even finish that because I doubt even that would happen.

  • I’m Absolutely Sure America Is About to Get Exactly What It Wants
  • That also seems to be an issue that keeps happening. Single issue voters. People get so locked in to one issue and will just straight up toss salad of the person that says they are going to make their issue their #1 priority.

    Only problem is that #1 priority is on the same scale as 20+ other #1 priorities and the official is going to take on those issues that will benefit themselves the most.

  • Walz Warns Against Normalizing Trump's Threat Of Using Military Against U.S. Citizens
  • Being a vet myself I would HOPE that most commanders especially the Joint Chiefs would say no to that level of absurdity and bullshit. If it came down to it yes he could relieve commanders till he found someone to follow his orders, but if that happened I would almost assume a coup would take place because the CIC is trying to subvert the Constitution and every Service Member is charged with upholding said document.

    Now getting a 3 letter agency to do it...is another matter entirely, but again any federal employee is sworn to uphold the Constitution and not the man. I just feel those 3 letters can be swayed a little bit easier.

  • Healthcare rule
  • With my portion and my companies portion, it would almost be the equivalent of what Germans pay in taxes for all the programs they have over there. I think most are in the same boat we just don't realize that we are getting fucked or we do but we don't realize by how much.

    It was an eye opener to actually look at it since your health insurance is taken from your paycheck before you actually see it so most people don't even think about it.

  • Were neon in this cyberpunk dystopia
  • You are just being pedantic. Food insecurity is the term used for people who may have to skip meals because they lack money to but it, it is not provided by programs in schools/communities, or they have food but it is inadequate to meet their dietary needs to grow/develope or even live.

    So yes you could not be "starving", as you put it, because you can go to the corner store or whatever and buy a candy bar, but that doesn't mean that same candy bar is going to sustain you. You body will starve because it lacks vital nutrients.

    Do better.

  • Trump Warns That if Kamala Harris Wins, ‘Everybody Gets Health Care’
  • I pay my portion of my health coverage at a little under 20% of my paycheck for a family plan. That is technically half since my employer pays a portion as well. If taxes would be raised to that point or even less than what I am paying now I would not care in the slightest. Hell I would welcome it. If it is more I would be a little more upset but if I do t have to pay co pays or the other crap a medical bill generates like the portion my health coverage doesn't pay than in my eyes it again balances out.

  • TIL of research into genetically engineering humans for space and living on other planets.
  • Do you want real life Exo Squad? Because this is how you get Exo Squad.

    Joking aside, while this may be faster, I think it would safer in the long run to keep focusing on actually getting to space and achieving faster than rockwt/thruster propulsion and let evolution work with that.

  • After the only hospital in town closed, a North Carolina city directs its ire at politicians
  • I know you are being a little facetious but I think there really is a nugget of truth there. I didn't full realize how much my Healthcare is, until this past reup and it got me thinking how many people probably don't realize how much they are paying because it is a pre-tax deduction so they technically don't even see the bill to realize how much they are paying.

  • ‘It is simple. You name the crime’: AOC has contentious exchange with Biden probe witness
  • That is not true. They still need probable cause to detain you, and if they have that they can actually hold you up to a max of 72 hrs before they must file actual charges. But for a stop they can only detain you in so long to effect the investagory period. That can take however long but for say a traffic stop should be like 20-30 minutes.

  • Just over half of Americans over the age of 65 are earning under $30,000 a year, and it shows how stark the retirement crisis is
  • Yes, but also no.

    They don't call it the 1%, or 2%, or whatever percentage you want to use for nothing. There is still a large portion of boomers, my parents included that drank the kool-aid and by kool-aid I mean the pick yourself up by the bootstraps and work hard and you will be successful bs. They along with the rest of the leftover portion of their generation are pretty much unable to retire, just like the article points to. That is the class warfare. It doesn't matter what generation they are from it really does boil down to the haves and have nots.

    The true point of Capitalism is like a big game of monopoly at the end only 1 person is going to win. There really is no other way for it to go down.
