Not ever bad thing is slavery…

But you don’t seem to understand any of this

You said it’s something that concerns you…

In the time you’ve spent making random guesses and defending your own ignorance, you could have learned about it…

So you have no idea how it affects you, despite it being something that affects your career…

And instead of doing any type of basic research, you’re just making random guesses nd hoping for the best?

I’m shocked you have a job to worry about losing

It’s not really slavery…

Because you can quit, you just go back to your home country.

And your home country might suck, but if you got a H1B, you’re upper class. No one goes from starving to getting a 100k salary in tech on a H1B.

It’s more like how Americans work on an oil platform. They come here to earn a shit ton of money on a short timeline, then go back home where the money is worth a shit ton more instead of spending here or even “investing” it.

It 100% needs to end…

Like, how it was intended was fine, but now it’s used to get employees who can’t quit. Sign them to a contract that doesn’t get OT and make em work 100 hr weeks when here till they burn out then replace them.

So Americans need to put up with it, or they won’t get hired.

Why do you think that?

It started out as Romney care, then republicans and “moderates” pulled it significantly to the right …

So now Mitts original plan would be more progressive than “Obamacare”…

I feel like I’m saying the same thing twice, but I’m not sure how to say this any simpler.

Are you still confused?

Six-figure earners “are concentrated in the largest and most expensive metropolitan areas in the United States, where the living costs are higher,” Adams said.

That and student loans are a big part of it.

To make 100k you likely have a bunch of student loans and need to live in an expensive area.

There’s way too much variation in America to act like numbers mean the same anywhere.

The more people unite against billionaires, the more we’re going to see rage bait where the goal is to draw the line anywhere else.

America is fucked, and it’s fucked for some people even tho they make over 100k, they’re nowhere close to the problem.

At least if Hillary had won we could say no US president ever sucked another’s dick…

Dayen mentions in passing that “the source of Epstein’s wealth” comes from obtaining power of attorney over the estate of Les Wexner, “from which he appropriated bunches of money” — but this is easy to misread as a euphemism for theft. In fact, Epstein was Wexner’s personal money manager, and his “appropriation” of Wexner’s funds is perfectly ordinary in the WMI — even expected.

Article makes it sound like “business as usual”…

But Epstein lived and ran his business out of a house Wexner owned and let him live in…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Wexner

Like, we’re supposed to believe your first client is a billionaire who lets you work and live out of his home?

Epstein didn’t create the ring, he just took over management. It existed before him and people owed it favors already. It’s the most likely explanation how someone with no experience or even really a business could land such a huge client that comes with a fucking house.

What?

It came up organically…

“sex act”…

It said trump sucked Bubba’s dick

Which even if it wasn’t Bill Clinton, that’s worse than raping kids to his base.

It’s not just that, an email leaked where Epstein told his brother that trump gave “Bubba” a bj…

“Bubba” is one of Clinton’s nicknames. But trump literally and consentingly sucking a dick will hurt him more with his base than raping kids, even if it’s not attached to a Clinton.

Fucking insane to call Mamdani a yuppie or even really middle class…

Looked her up on muckrack:

It’s all pro-israel and saying progress can’t happen.

Well, yeah…

If the people in charge of security were honest, they’d be fired. Anyone that doesn’t say what trump wants to hear get fired.

So when it comes to stuff like this, no real actions are taken to prevent it from happening again. Because you won’t acknowledge why it happened.

As the right fractures more and more, this will keep happening. Maga has always been a loose coalition of different groups with different goals. And trumps not even trying to keep them all happy anymore. They all thought they’d be the priority, and now they’re pissed and feel used.

Along with a shit ton of other things…

If it was something as serious as what you’re saying, they wouldn’t have disclosed it at the time. Which again, was a month ago, and it wasn’t a big deal then.

Like, do you people legitimately not realize this is Faux News desperately trying to distract from the Epstein list?

I overestimate people a lot, but come the fuck on, can you really not see what’s happening here?

No good war but a class war, and one side has always been fighting it…

Gavazzeni added: “There were no political or religious motivations. They were rich people who went there for fun and personal satisfaction.

Article is about an MRI he got a month ago and was disclosed at the time…

I’d say Faux is trying to garner sympathy for him

Mamdani and Pritzker discussed how to approach Trump, Pritzker’s experience with the president’s effort to send troops into Chicago and how to prepare should a similar incursion happen in New York City.

Sometimes learning what not to do is important…

Pritzker shit posting on social media and making bold claims while allowing police to work with ICE has not been effective at all at keeping trump in check.

The craziest thing is they could just pull out Mitt Romeny’s original plan from 2008 and it would still be a huge improvement.

It would be that easy. And trump gets the absolute told you so of “if it wasn’t for Obama, you’d have always had this!”. Which would be bullshit because Romney’s would have been drug to the right too.

But still, it’s such a stupidly easy win he’ll never take.
