As the wealth and pay gaps continue to grow, along with the possible impact of AI on unemployment, if we don't figure out how to provide such basic life necessities, those who are most impacted will, at some point, figure out how greatly they have the haves outnumbered, we could see an uprising that level the playing field.

As for your other generalizations.
1) refund the police was a really poorly thought slogan. No one was ever defunct the police. Any reasonable person understands that a group as large and integral part of society isn't going to be defined and eliminated. BUT, there is room for improvement in our police force.

2) Free day care. There are multiple studies and evidence from other countries demonstrating how this would actually be good for over all benefit of society.

3) this is the first I've read of this. I don't see how this would make sense logistically or how this would be of greater importance than universal health coverage.

4) I've read a couple articles and the supporting data that shows this has the opposite of the expected results. Hopefully in the study and debate of something like this these things would have to be considered. The market should help to control this, but with a rise in private equity buying housing, GA is currently at 24% of single family homes being owned by corporations for purposes of rental, there's going to be a breaking point without rent controls.

And all of these are components that support the evolution into a universal basis income.

The one that eventually would give amnesty to 5 million illegals?

Glad he did.

Now when they are on their way back to their home countries they can read up on how to get here legally.

Now if the GOP will abolish the filibuster and require that only U.S. citizens be counted in the census things will be great!

Another idiot who can’t do the bare minimum and fact-check the BS claims from the right.

That border bill was not going to give amnesty to 5 million illegals. Where the fuck do you clowns get this garbage from?

LOL!! You mad??

Relax. It did not do everything you said either chief.

The “real” border security bill is coming and it’s going to be a doozy!!

Already ordered an “Alligator Alcatraz” shirt!

You want to FAFO? Come in illegally and take your chances in the swamp!

See the fact that you have such a low standard for humanity that you think the alligator Alcatraz is funny or functional shows that you are a depraved withe piece of shit.

Please just go away and stop creating new usernames.

Yeah…. No place for civil discourse or facts in a place that believes not knowing the truth will lead your party to victory.

It’s ok…. You’ll be fine. Keep your radio on NPR, TV on MSNBC and you’ll never know the difference.

By the way…. Did you not say that all Trump ever did was lose???

How’d that working out for you??

Seems like he had a damn great week last week.

More on the way.

Enjoy!!!!

You call this bullshit civil discourse, are you delusional?

What was great about last week? Just more TACO and his family getting richer at the expense of the American people. He hasn't done a dame thing for the average person.

I’m not mad. I’m genuinely curious why you haven’t been able to carve out an interesting enough life for yourself where you don’t feel the need to come to this board over and over again under various aliases and countless bans just to stir shit up.

Aren’t there message boards for people with your interests?

Maybe CousinFucker.com? WhitesOnlyFans.com?
 
I am a straight white male, 73 years old and relatively wealthy . I don't worry too much how the Trump presidency will affect me and the missus personally over the short run...

I am deeply worried how the Trump presidency will affect my kids and grand kids over the medium and long run

Safe to say that they will not grow up in any version of America you thought you'd paved a path to.

They are politically well informed teens at 14 and 17yo...certainly more informed than the average MAGA. They are not doomsday cynics and remain hopeful that their elders will be able protect our democracy and survive the Trump/MAGA threat to it.

I tell them that is our ( anyone over 30yo ? ) responsibility, and their responsibility is not to succumb to self pity and cynicism.
 
BTTT

So where are you in this subject today?
Where do expect to be on this spectrum next year?
Next 5 years? 10?
Got kids? Grandkids?
Do you worry about their future?
Are they worried about the future?
How do you feel now about your family and “friends” who voted for Trump? Any worse today than you did in November last year?
Have any of them changed their tune or are they trumpeting the trump victory of his big beautiful bill?
(We know Froggy is doing backflips)

Do you think Social Security and Medicare will still be there for you?
Planning to retire soon?
How about your finances? You good?

If you are white, straight, educated, working at a cool job or successfully retired, mortgage and car payments manageable… do you even give a shit? Or are you - in the above position - still going to wring your hands over the current situations, even though you may somehow be buffered from any ill-effects?

Is it time to finally throw up your hands and say fuck it. I’m good. I’ll just fly under the radar, do my job, mow my grass, drink my libations, watch my sports on TV, placate my spouse, do the best I can for the kids and grandkids. Tune out, turn on and live my life as quietly as possible and hope for the best.
