The Biden Presidency

Daily reminder that if a woman is raped and impregnated at gunpoint the assailant with the gun is now *legally* more protected than the rape victim, according to SCOTUS.

In America.

In 2022.

This is a really bad decision though. The only thing fixing our demographics issue has been repealed.

I'm looking forward to how this amalgamates people politically by states even further. Pro-abortionists will move to pro-abortion states, anti-abortionists will move to (or remain in) anti-abortion states.

The "peaceful divorce" draws nearer. It will be as peaceful as all the mostly peaceful protests.

Okay if the GOP wants to champion states' rights then can we end the federal drug war please?

Now all the psychopaths in DC can bicker and argue amongst themselves over parts per million and billion instead of how much in billions we should give to Ukraine and Israel.

It was Putin's fault, then it was the gas corporations fault, and now it's the gas station's fault for the prices?

Ian · July 03, 2022, 07:10:02 PM

Cost of resources (and especially gas) have always been an excellent bellwether for election results. The Dems know this November is going to be a bloodbath if they can’t bring down gas prices or inflation.

As of May of this year, the average monthly rent for a one bedroom in the US is $1,827. Almost every complex/landlord requires you to make x3 the rent a month to apply. The average US income is $31k a year; less the half of what’s needed to apply.

Fuck this clown world.

Yeah my dude, it's almost like unfettered capitalism is a corrupt and oppressive system that hampers social mobility and progress. Got me scratching the old noodle here.

*clown country

not that it isn't a clown world, too, but we shouldn't indict that world for the failings of one clown country, especially when other countries have the US beat when it comes to affordable housing, and also doesn't foster a culture where we force our children to attend college or kick them out by age 18

Is the United States unfettered capitalism or are there fetters? What's the proportion of fetters to unfetters on the capitalism in the United States?

Verbatim · July 09, 2022, 05:36:57 PM

do you need to know the exact ratio of fetters to unfetters to know that the ratio is off
does the ratio need to be 99:1 before you can make generalizations about its proportions
if it turned out that the ratio is 60:40 in favor of fetters after all, does that mean america doesn't actually have any issues with social mobility that could possibly be tied to its socioeconomic structure

If you think the US is unfettered capitalism I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

All I'm saying is that ending the government held monopoly on violence would basically solve both the affordable housing crisis itself and the fact that Landlords are the only people who get yearly raises that are actually in line with inflation.
