Shoot The Breeze

There’s the left. You’re either with us or you’re an idiot. Look he gets it we may not have a union. I’d rather have to fight that battle which would be hard to make thru congress and even if it does I’ll live with it because I’m tired of seeing socialism tear into the once progressive left. And now it’s just if you vote blue it’s universal everything and free everything. Fuck that. Work for things and don’t bitch when something isn’t handed to you.

There is socialism everywhere-dr phil got 7 mil on the recent coronavirus relief funds. How many student loans is that? How much welfare for struggling families? How much is the government paying for those shitty chairs in the radar room?
Socialism is everywhere the left just want you to get what your paying your taxes free. You don't bitch about free roads, free elementary school, why not have the millionaires held accountable for shit they use too.

The difference being that Bernie Sanders, and socialism by definition, strive to "create equality" that naturally would not (nor should not) otherwise exist by funding extravagant federal programs and diluting the merit of labor by forcible redistribution of wealth, ostensibly arguing by default the majority of people in the work force would not otherwise care to fund these programs voluntarily.

My personal belief that most instances of government excesses would be solved by "true" privatization does not preclude my taking advantage of a situation presented me by taking a job.

Inadequate comparison my guy.

So is it republican socialism when THE LARGEST TRANSFER OF WEALTH FROM TAXPAYERS TO PRIVATE CORPORATIONS happens. All unsupervised. Are you getting your golden shower yet, because it's actual piss-socialism for the wealthy right? Trickle down economics? The average taxpayer just got 1200 but it cost them how much?

The issues I have is that the common citizen can’t write off personal expenses and call them business expenses (like a haircut). Can’t write off more than $10K in SALT for their residence, but his residences are considered business expenses?
I think the tax codes give way to many benefits to business owners while not allowing similar deductions (like scrubs for nurses) to be deducted anymore on tax forms because the personal exemptions are now null and void.
Get rid of the BS tax deduction loopholes and just have everyone pay the same percentage of tax, regardless of your income level (say above $30,000 a year).

Exactly why would you want stronger border security when you can have illegals come in and take up jobs that millions of Americans could be doing. But instead they drive labor costs down force people into unemployment and make you pay for them to use the system.

Border patrol is a socialist system.
Using tax dollars for a border wall is socialist.
Why are we not punishing companies for hiring illegals?
Why don't you just get a better job if an illegal took yours, it doesn't force people on unemployment.

Would you rather have Donald trump or joe Biden separating airplanes

It wasn't a loss, it was the greatest use of runway. As close as as possible, no wake turbulence, wake is a liberal scam.

You aren't a controller if you don't use bad phraseology, c'mon on man

Exactly if you don’t like your healthcare, get a different job that has better healthcare.

Random question, but I’m not great with computers. I’ve been assigned ELMs courses and I’ve tried Safari, Chrome, and Edge on PC And a Mac with no luck. I’ve played with pop-up settings, and the pop-up windows won’t load it’s just a blank screen. Anybody else have that problem and find out a way to fix it? One of the errors I’m getting says, “Unable to acquire LMS API, content may not play properly and results may not be recorded. Please contact technical support.”

Shit it's almost like millions or cargo containers and semi trucks cross the border and enter ports every day and customs can't search them all.


This isn't wrong. The huge uptick in heroin usage is directly related to big pharma negligently pushing docs to prescribe narcotics.

The war on drugs is a farce, and the only reason they keep it going is to feed the prison industrial complex and to keep certain "undesirables" down. Again, look to Europe. Many of those countries have largely reduced thier overdose deaths and drug crime in general thru decriminalization and treating it as the disease it is and not a crime.

Holy shit move to England already.

Portugal has seen a huge decrease in crime and drug-related deaths since they decriminalized most drugs.

I don't disagree with the first part of your statement, but roads and elementary schools are most certainly not "free." Ever pay thousands of dollars in school taxes to send other people's kids to school? I 'member.

Can you even log in? My account was completely removed from the data base since I hadn’t logged in since March. The ATM has to request for a new account and email to be started like I’m a new hire lol.

It's like that other guy said. Sophisticated tunnels, crazy ass submarines, and yes planes. Trucks and containers are the crap shot.

I've only gotten it to work on explorer.

It's 2020 and we work for the government. The answer is "use Internet Explorer."

You don’t see like politicians or people marching in any of these countries for private health care. Wonder why that is.

Minus the fact that their supreme court ruled the wait times were so long that they were a human rights violation, so they had to allow private for profit places to open up. Then they have the same issue, good care for those that can pay, subpar for those who cant.

Trump can’t do that either. No matter who you are you can’t write off your normal living expenses. And also you can’t have ivanka working and consulting for your company at the same time

If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.

Legalization of drugs would destroy the cartels far better than a wall...

...but Jesus and shit or something...

Isn’t the problem with Trump owing all these millions that we don’t know who he owes it to?

If any of us had a similar debt amount relative to our income it would be deemed a national security threat and we’d lose our clearance. And that’s if we told them who we owe, trumps debts are pretty mysterious.

100% we would not get a security clearance.

100% Kushner didn't get a security clearance, even after MULTIPLE mulligans/edits/re-dos, until Trump stepped in and made them give him one.

On which note, why the hell are the President's daughter and her husband making policy decisions and attending state dinners in his stead? Clinton would have been absolutely eviscerated if Chelsea was doing anything close to what they've been doing, and she has a Master's in public health.
