  1. "No ones hungry, no ones cold, everyone has basic health insurance"... Literally none of that is reflected by reality. Millions skip meals, millions are homeless and millions have medical debt that is bankrupting them. And this is ever growing in number. I was homeless for nearly five years because the government didn't do anything to help me. I went hungry everyday, lost so much weight i was unrecognizable. When i finally gained weight it was because i was eating dollar tree food...

  2. There is big difference between working for a company in a factory and being a yard sweeper, newspaper boy, summer lifeguard and assisting your father at his shoe shop.
    96
  3. Workers of the world cannot unite if workers from around the world leave their homes for ours.
    43
  4. As someone who is actually "pro life" I support universal healthcare.
    36
  5. As a conservative, a true social conservative, as in i want to conserve family and community values, I do not understand how capitalism can coexist with conservatism. They are diametrically opposed.
    33
  6. Limiting the amount of residential properties a single individual or company can own to 3 would help alot with rent prices too.
    32
  7. Better yet, ban third, fourth etc homes and tax passive income.
    26
  8. Because that's not profitable.
    23
  9. What's the point in having healthcare if you have to pay that much out of pocket? Why don't we nationalize the pharmaceutical industry?
    15
  10. Workers want a bigger slice of the pie. Why? Because the pie has gotten much bigger and it's largely because of them. Yet they aren't seeing that increase in proportion unlike the few who own the factory that the pies are made in. Get the analogy?
    14
  11. Or impose acquisition taxes.
    12
  12. What's ridiculous is that Republicans and conservatives are now denying that they want to cut these helpful programs. They called Biden a liar at the State of the Union Address for pointing it out. Biden is a liar but not about this. I'm a social conservative. But these fiscal ones give me the creeps. They are vile people who genuinely have contempt for the working and lower class.
    11
  13. It's this stuff that makes me angry that conservatives don't see how Capitalism is not our friend. Conservatives. Adopt worker forward policies ontop of your social policies. You'll never lose.

  14. Costco makes sense.

  15. Same thing. It's inevitable this will happen. Everytime.

  16. The entirety of Europe and the Southern US called, they'd like to talk about outsiders reshaping their states and cities.

  17.  @SgtJoeSmith  well it would be a disincentive to merge or acquire another company in the first place, making your argument moot.
    7
  18.  @kelsiekraft5714  um, you're confusing social conservativism with fiscal conservatism. My entire beliefs system is that of working class values. Universal healthcare, collective bargaining rights, community association, family businesses, cooperative and small family farming. The only people I "bully" or believe should be bullied are the upper class brats who think the world owes them shit because they have a lot of money. For gods sake, I've been arguing with a dude in another comment section for an entire day about why capitalism doesn't actually create wealth, it extracts it from working people.

  19. Now this is content i am looking for. ST, I appreciate your journalism and am happy you and More Perfect Union are working together. Also your voice is soothing. No homo. Gotta say that.

  20. Never knew anything about this game. Wild to think that children modding is being exploited for profit.

  21. ​ @morten3465 you mean the give away more money to foreign nations bill?
    5
  22. Strong nations are literally built by strong domestic productivity, unions and secure borders. This is a step in the right direction.

  23. Boom. This comment speaks to the real problem here. We should not have door dash and under eats and whatever delivery app. They ruin everyones experience. Especially people who order in.
    4
  24. A better idea. Let's implement an acquisition tax. Every merger, buyout, consolidation, absorption and acquisition between 2 or more corporations will be taxed at the rate it cost to acquire and then multiply it by two. Company A bought company B for 200 million dollars? Now they gotta pay 400 mill to finalize and have the government officially recognize it.

  25. Tell me you don't listen without telling me you don't listen

  26. Wokeness is capitalism.

  27. What do you mean? Allowing foreign labor is what they have been, and are currently doing... They are doing it in the 10s of millions...

  28. "Socialism destroys family businesses!" No actually, capitalism does. Just as capitalism corrupts government, not the other way around.

  29. Can you stop calling people white nationalists just because they are white and rich? It makes many lose trust in you. And no, there is no such thing as white privilege.

  30. I'm sorry but I can't take this girl seriously. The piercings, the colored hair, the crazy lipstick... It's worrying what kind of crazy ish she advocates for. Doesn't mean she and other workers should not be compensated fairly for their productivity, they certainly should.

  31.  @markpoultonsrules  I am a hater. But I'm not jealous. I have no desire to profit off another person's need for shelter.

  32. If you genuinely believe those progressive activists are tough enough and masculine enough to actually do most of these jobs then you're out of your mind.

  33. It does not sound like a utopian future. It sounds like a dystopian nightmare where parents pass their kids off to paid sitters instead of raising their own child. Womn leaving home and taking jobs was the problem... They became wage slaves too and worse that that, they ditched their role and demanded men respect them for it.
    3
  34. Ban short term rentals. Limit private residential property ownership to 3. Stop massive immigration, close the border, expel foreign buyers and renters of land and property. Encourage young men and women to move in together and start a family instead of seeking housing separately as individuals. Incentivize multigenerational households. Most of this is policy. Some is culture.
    3
  35. Exactly.
    3
  36. No. The answer is to change your diet, stop smoking, stop having children out of wedlock and exercise more.
    3
  37. And small family businesses. Those don't need to be turned into cooperatives.

  38. Yeah I have no idea what that is saying. It almost seems like 175$ will be taken out of your deposit for garbage fees.

  39. You're speaking too many facts

  40. Socially conservative but economically left wing is the future of this country. And to answer the question of who i likely have more in common with, a "Mexican "migrant or Donald Trump? Donald Trump. Full stop. I live in whats now a Mexican majority neighborhood. I have zero in common with them and they don't want anything to do with me. They dont speak English, they party with loud music until 3 in the morning, they drink constantly and leave beer cans everywhere, and when they do throw trash away its in my bin... They have nothing in common with me and i don't want them in this country.

  41. Milton directly stated that workers demanding higher wages led to corporations raising prices to make up the difference. Are you claiming he didn't say that?
    2
  42. They are "mostly corrupt" according to whom and compared to whom?
    2
  43. People on the Right would say that profit and greed have always existed and question why now all of a sudden it's causing prices to inflate. So is the answer: because record profits have occured rapidly amongst the most powerful organizations? Could it also be because small businesses were decimated during the pandemic? It could also be the shock that came from people having lots of buying power and then suddenly not anymore, on top of the economy opening back up while productivity remained at levels too low to keep up with the sudden opening?

  44. American Reign of Terror? Count me in.

  45.  @michaeld4861  but the stimulus checks didn't even come from money printing. That's what no one seems to be aware of.

  46.  @ExtraSimplified  because it is inevitable. I'm not sure why that's somehow shocking to you.

  47. Or... The government could invest in the ppl as a whole where this becomes a common sight and not the exception

  48. This ain't it chief. Y'all aren't full time employees making a product. Y'all are essentially partaking in a hobby. The only way to get paid is if the owners of the team and or league net enough to distribute to the players. This is the minor leagues. I recognize it's not ideal to try and do this and feed yourself but demanding more pay that likely isn't even available to keep the league and stadiums afloat is the name of the game.
    2
  49. But there is no such thing as a "truly 100% free market" there never had been and there never will be.
    2
  50. I never understood the argument of "choice" when it comes to healthcare. I don't choose my sickness, i dont choose my disability, I didn't choose how i got injured. Why would i need to choose what "plan" I have for an unplanned event that needs to be solved regardless of ability to pay or what "plan" i "chose".

  51. The property managers name wasn't on the lease? Where were you staying? A black market apartment that houses illegals? And even then, those property managers are on the lease agreement. Tenants unions should be made required either way.
    2
  52. When the law isn't on your side, you must take the law into your own hands and make one. Do not ask for permission, command those who rule to abide by your dictates or else.
    2
  53.  @markpoultonsrules  I would argue that the private accumulation of capital is dysfunctional and inefficient and that workers themselves should be in control of their own labor. I am not a fan of private property ownership. Though I am more focused on the private ownership of land. I'm not interested in what you individually put into your properties. Its not landlords I am refuting, it's the concept. It's the material relationship between a property owner and those who have none. You owning 1-2 properties is not the big threat. But it's still something that should be addressed. Farmers, grocers etc own their land and produce a good. Many goods. You, the landlord, do not. You provide something that very easily could be provided without you. I doubt you built these homes yourself, let alone by yourself. Even if you did, that doesn't warrant you the right to own many and profit off rent seeking. Adam Smith's argument objectively applies to the market today. If anything, it's more applicable now than it was then.
    2
  54. And if the majority picked "no confidence" a whole new election would need to be made. Hopefully with different, preferred candidates.
    2
  55. It has everything to do with migrants. Just like how mass immigration from the southern border is causing the same downward effect across the US. It is also true that private equity firms and large corporations are concentrating property.
    2
  56. I can't watch this. Immediately, you can hear a squeaky confused woman with awful facial hair. These are the same people who feed the private for profit pharmaceutical companies with their demand to have their delusions fed to them. It's a give away to these companies to have guaranteed lifetime customers. It takes away from the seriousness of actually suffering Americans who have actual healthcare needs that they go bankrupt for. I support universal healthcare, but that first person is not example of the "healthcare" that should be provided.
    2
  57. Now hold on. Im a huge anti capitalist, but why all of a sudden are parents supposed to care what their kids are being taught? Ive been told that parents don't have the right to be informed about their childs education and personal plan. Im told teachers need to protect their students from their parents awful ideology at home. So which is it? We should know what our schools are teaching or we are backwards bigots demanding we know what are kids are being taught?
    2
  58. Wages tend to remain low when we allow millions of immigrants into this country a year.
    2
  59. Yah, its called teaching kids useless garbage like trigonometry and how to get triggered by everything under the sun. Public education is a joke and almost always has been.

  60.  @Universal_Craftsman  why should the government or anyone help "you" or anyone else? Because we live in a society where we all look out for one another for the common good of the country.
    2
  61.  @Excalibur2  the world doesn't owe me anything. But as a society with a social contract we owe it to one another to look out for one anothers interest and well being both as individuals and as a collective. If not, why come together as a group? Why form relationships? Why construct laws? Why form a government and why call it "of the ppl, by the ppl for the ppl"? What does the Constitution say? To protect and provide for the security and welfare of its citizens, no? What does the Constitution guarantee us and why guarantee us anything? Free speech, to bear arms, to assemble in protest. Life liberty and property can only be guaranteed when we come together and respect one anothers existence otherwise it's a war of all against all, man against man and man against all. We created society to be above this. Also it took me nearly five years to become housed again because I'm autistic, incomes are outpaced by housing costs and the government doesn't provide enough assistance to place ppl in homes fast enough and to keep ppl housed to prevent homelessness in the first place. None of that is up for debate. These are unwavering facts. You can either accept facts or you choose to reject them. But don't you dare demand we reject them as well.

  62. "I personally would never kill an innocent person that can't defend themselves, but I can't prevent you from doing it". There. Fixed it.
    2
  63. I still think conservative social policies and progressive economic policies make the best political environment. Weed should not be recreationally used and infanticide should not be choice. But strong labor protections are essential and corporate regulations are essential. As is ensuring everyone housing and healthcare. But certain things aren't healthcare, namely gender affirming care and abortion.
    2
  64. Oh no! Investment in communities for social purposes! God forbid we do that!
    2
  65. The free market is why there are only two major service providers. They won. The small pharmacies lost the competition that is the capitalist market precisely because their market was limited to their locality. CVS and Walgreens outcompeted the rest and became the giants they did because there was no government regulations enforcing anything, which allowed the market to consolidate.
    2
  66. These people want to work. But they also want to be guaranteed paid sick days and time off. They have the right to demand these things since they are the ones that make the company money.

  67. America has already been destroyed. And it wasn't by so called Christian fascists.

  68. I was never gonna buy one his stupid electric cars anyway.
    2
  69. If corporations paid their employees a living wage and the government guaranteed a basic standard of living, we wouldn't need welfare subsidizing low wages. Social policy is really going to get in the way. Because i believe cultural progressivism is a form of capitalist hegemony that benefits no one. But others think conservative values hinder necessary change. Thats the predominant divide.
    2
  70. Math isn't your forte is it?
    2
  71. Ban the ownership of more than 3 residential properties. Tax the passive income landlords and property owners make off rent, and make that tax marginal. Ensure that any household spending more than 30% of their monthly income on rent or their mortgage is automatically enroll into a subsidized program that assists in paying out. Ban foreign capital/ undocumented immigrants from renting or owning property. Provide a home building grant and a plot of land to any American family seeking to have multiple children.

  74.  @Krill_all_health_insuranceCEOs  i just realized. If we do in fact live on a small planet with finite resources then why would you want millions upon millions of ppl to be forced to share a tiny fraction of the small planet? Why would you want all those ppl from such a small world to move to another part of that small world and strain the living standards and resources of the ppl already living in their corner of it? Sounds illogical. And I just had an experience literally in the middle of writing this with one of these immigrants who can't speak English and who doesn't respect my property. He laughs. He's a landscaper with a leaf blower, terrified my cat then blew her food and her plate on my porch with the leaf blower. I got mad at him for doing that and he laughed at me. They take jobs. They take homes. They have no respect for this country or you. Stop respecting them.

  75. 1. Why is a foreign company/gov allowed to own any land or property in the US? 2. What an insurance agency need that much water for? 3. This is inadvertently proving even further that raising cattle is far more efficient and far less resource wasteful than agriculture. Vegans, accept you lost the argument. 4. Communal ownership of resources is necessary if we wish to have a future. 5. Newcomers to an area stain resources and are hardly ever a positive force for the locals.

  76. I hate Repugnantcans too but the the richest politicians are all Democrats.

  77. A non medical professional without a license to operate medicine is dictating to doctors what their patients need. Why? Go to the doctor, discover the problem, find a solution and go through with it, then the costs are covered by the government. Seems so simple.

  78. If you're trying to appeal across the aisle to Trump voters, maybe stop bringing up "reproductive healthcare" every five seconds. And maybe start acknowledging the migration crisis and the housing affordability crisis and how you're going to fix those things.

  79. That is a grievance of mine. Why not manufacture parts for public transit?

  80. I hate Illhan Omar and I have given up on Bernie but this is a true pro family issue.

  81. You should receive wage subsidies if your business is small and cannot keep up with inflation. You also, as an individual citizen, should receive a universal basic income like everyone. So there's that.
    2
  82.  @PerryWagle  Capitalists can afford whatever the like. But they still rely on government subsidies. Just because they CAN afford it, doesn't mean they will want to spend their own money to pay for it. So if we implement this plan, they will be disincentivised and will be less likely to do it. And if they do do it, then at least a bunch of revenue is collected to be used for housing and healthcare. And yes, anti trust laws can be used if it comes to that.
    2
  83. Conservatives and Progressives both want jobs in America. On economic issues, neither group actually have that big a divide. More libertarian, classical liberal types who often vote for either parties but are more common in the GOP, do however like deregulation and low taxation... Conservatives need to desperately escape their commitment to free market capitalism. Its not their ally. Conservatives (i am one) please support workers rights. Please reject the ethos of consumerism and individualism where it's every man and woman for themselves. Embrace community and family policies such as free school lunches, national health insurance, housing affordability, a universal basic income, social security expansion, union membership etc.

  85. If she is that disabled what does she do for money? She has a nice house and a few cats. That's expensive. I own cat. It's expensive. She doesn't even have a litter box. Anyway... I'm not denying that Dustie should receive medicaid or healthcare provided by the government in general, I emphatically support universal healthcare, but what does she do for work to afford her home?
    2
  86. Food wasn't exactly abundant in socialist states. The food that was simply wasn't as nice as the stuff we have today or even back then. This is coming from someone who identifies as a socialist. I recognize the problems of the previous model. But many don't. I hope you do.
    2
  87. I don't agree with that last bit but everything else you said is spot on.
    2
  88. So you admit you want workers to work hard for very little or else get replaced? Congratulations on being scummy commenter #1.

  89. @christopherbasham1551  because the job is important enough to fill. There is no such thing as a job that requires no skill btw.

  90. 8 seconds in and I already disagree with Benny boi. Ironically, my disagreement comes from a market based perspective. Consumers have more purchasing power in the economy to buy things like hamburgers, where more frequent exchange of money is taking place, absolutely, undeniably and quantifiably without a doubt does in fact stimulate the economy. Far more than rich people saving their money, since it doesn't recycle back into it. As a free market thinker who loves facts and logic, you'd think Ben would be aware that cash flow exchanging hands on main street is a positive thing for the economy as it lowers costs (eventually) and forces greater productivity.

  91. Ah yes, the power to choose who your corrupt slave owner will be. What a wonderful system of opportunities and choices.
    2
  92.  @Cobalt985  well obviously no one should violate labor laws but why go to such an extreme? If it's a family businesses, it's their business. They run it as a family they way they want. You work there but you aren't family, so you don't get a say. Don't like it? Join a cooperative then. Create your own cooperative then. And yes, a local credit bank should absolutely support and assist people trying to start their own business cooperative. All private banks should be abolished in favor of a national credit union system that works with local state banks.
    2
  93. That's a great comparison. I never made that connection before.
    2
  94.  @IdeletedRobinhood  by definition, yes, the reason your desire doesn't contribute to economic demand for a Ferrari is because you can't afford it. Are you saying you don't work hard enough to earn money to pay for that car?

  107. 8:18... If you suffer from asthma you should not be working in the weed business anyway. That's not just smart. And if she didn't know she had it (which i doubt she was unaware) then the company definitely didn't know. I can't stand having to say this as someone who despises corporations but in this particular instance, this was not their fault.

  108. This is why nationalism is so important. It allows a people to control their own future and resources. Ironically, Americans immigrating to Puerto Rico hurts their economy and because of that, it forces Puerto Rican immigrants to come here and hurt the American economy. Foreign residents should always have to pay more than locals. Integration, assimilation and cohesion are important. Yet we only care about this when it's white ppl going elsewhere, not when it's others coming here. It's hypocrisy.

  112.  @tuckerbugeater  what does that have to do with a society where workers own and/or manage the company they work at and a cultural belief in traditional values like gender roles and monogamy?
    1
  113.  @Nota-Skaven  conserve Capitalism!? No. Conserve values related to culture. Capitalism destroys the cultural norms I hold dear. Monogamy, community, minimalism, modesty, family, honor. Capitalism pushes consumerism and hedonistic lifestyles. As a conservative, o can't stand those things.
    1
  114.  @jaybleu6169  the government, aka the people and their will. The personal business of individuals effects everyone. Especially when so many are convinced to do the same thing. Monogamy is superior to the anarchy we have today when it comes to dating. The government most certainly needs to concern itself with families because then we can assist families, ensure abuse and neglect don't occur, not to mention it ensures stability in the community. A marriage is not simply a union between two people but rather a union of two families which is recognized by the community at large. Again, I've said this already I believe. I am a social conservative. Culturally, i believe in monogamy, gender roles and family honor. Economically, the people of those communities should collectively own their work. I believe in a community oriented society, rooted in practical traditional values. The economy should reflect that. Capitalism, doesn't reflect that.

  117. I want sovereignty for you too. And I want the immigrants that left your beautiful island (s) to return to rebuild and maintain your country for it's people by it's people. Statehood is not the answer. Taxes should go to your government not the American federal government. And y'all should deport Americans from your nation. As an American, I humbly apologize for our immigration causing problems. And humbly ask your immigrants to return home.

  118. So, the capitalists enforce their domination over the market by patenting products that were funded by the public purse so that they can prevent market competition. Tell me how free market Capitalism is the answer again? This is a "free" market. Its the inevitable conclusion.

  119. Everything you say is true. But mass immigration is keeping wages low and prices high for most ppl in most sectors, including in construction.

  123.  @ZentaBon  you make a valid point. But I would argue that there should be two types of holding facilities. Behavioral Rehabilitation Facilities and Punitive Justice Prisons. People who did not commit serious crimes or who committed an act of violence not out malice but rather unfortunate circumstances or desperation should not be housed with people who will be in there for life or to be sent to deth. People who only have 1-15 year sentences shoot not be amongst the lifers who are there because they are animals and should therefore be treated as such. The lesser criminals should be given a second chance and that includes an environment that teaches them to be productive and responsible. It should not be a cakewalk or a hotel but it should not be a dark, gritty, eat or be eaten hellhole either.

  126. Here's the thing, I don't support abortion. And I definitely don't believe wmen "should be able to do whatever they fuq they want their their body" since I don't think anyone should. Especially when it's not actually your body that is being protected, but the life of the unborn child. However, I think it's up to the states to decide. If the state votes to keep it then it doesn't matter what I think as an individual. For the record, I'm not pro life. I'm anti abortion.

  130. I don't understand. You expect a 24/7 restaurant to hire security guards? To do what? That will achieve nothing except decreased sales. Yes, they should unionize and get paid more.

  143.  @thehalfmanTL  we're talking in circles eh? Sounds like you need to think forwardly instead of circularly. You have what's called success bias where because you happened to be an exception to the rule you believe everyone else either has the same chances or will reach a similar level of success as you. Newsflash, most success is luck based. Doesn't mean your dedication and skill is irrelevant but to pretend that's all you need is to deny reality.

  170. While culture does matter, due to common values uniting a people, the class divisions have always driven society. Every aspect of our culture can be traced back to an economic influence/material condition. Let states decide their cultural leanings, let conservatives and progressives live amongst one another with their own like minded people. Conservatives, do not believe for a second capitalism cares about your family values. It doesn't. It hates them. The Family was destroyed by capitalism because it was seen as a competitor for control over consumption and production. Progressives, stop falling for the myths poured into your soft fragile heads, convincing you that biology doesn't matter and sex is just a physical activity for our mediocre existence. Monogamy is the greatest way to fight against inequality and disorder. If we want a more community oriented society, the economy should reflect that. Our economy now encourages rugged Individualism not families or communities.

  173. Communists and socialists do not believe in wage labor at all and solely believe in compensation through labor notes attributed to their productivity. Aka, the labor theory of value. Fighting for higher minimum wages is not socialist at all. It's a liberal tactic that does not radically alter the relationship to rhe means of production.
    1
  174. Two reasons. 1. Because what these corporations are pushing is disgusting filth that should be prohibited. And 2. It's easier than actually changing the business structure. They like Capitalism, what they don't like is degeneracy being supported by capital. Which is ironic.

  182. @Universal_Craftsman  no, they spent large amounts of money on NGOs. That money could have gone directly to mortgage and rental assistance but didn't. You can demand change from ppl after you've housed them. Until then, be quiet and stop demanding ppl "earn" their essential needs for life. California is a great example of why capitalism sucks, using liberal sloganeering to appear forward thinking and progressive. It isn't. It's a sham. It's all about creating a problem and then throwing money at private institutions to "solve" that problem without actually doing so cause if they did solve the homelessness crisis then there would be no more profit to make. Housing, similar to education, healthcare and energy, should not be subject to the profit motive.
    1
  183.  @Universal_Craftsman  California is a terrible example of how to solve anything. They are run by exceptionally corrupt corporations which create problems which the government then funnels money towards more private institutions to supposedly solve said problem despite knowing that they have no incentive to solve the problem because if they did there would no longer be anything to profit off of. That money should go towards rehab, and mortgage and rental assistance. Directly benefiting Californians instead of going towards NGOs who pocket the majority of the funding.

So you are admitting a bunch of illegals who should not even be here also deserve more workers rights even though they steal jobs from Americans and contribute to the very exploitive Capitalist system you criticize? You muppets are killing me. You want workers in America to have power? Kick out all the job stealers who forced their way in here and now demand special treatment.

And the people who hire those that can't speak (aka refuse to speak English) should be fined heavily. Glad to know I'm a white nationalist because I expect people who move here to speak the language. If I moved to Mexico I should speak spanish or I should leave. If I moved to Japan and refused to speak or learn Japanese I should be kicked out. "Basic human decency"? You know what's basic and decent? Learning the language of the country you decided to move to. Get bent.

  203. As a conservative, this makes me mad. How can Republicans look at this and claim to support Capitalism? It's maddening. This isn't pro family. This isn't pro hard work. It isn't even pro freedom. It's exploitation plain and simple. It's greed, a sin. It's lust and envy, it's the idolatry of money. This is not what conservativism should be about. I wish the two parties (or perhaps 2-3 more) were on a similar page economically (they already are just not in the way I'm talking about) when it comes to fighting for working class families and individuals. Then the only thing left in the way to agree on is cultural bs like marriage, abortion and gender stuff.

  215.  @TamarLitvot  ill grant you that Chinese slaves helped build the railroad but besides them, no, immigrants and slaves did not build this country. Picking cotton is not "building this country" and the majority of immigrants lived in shelf made shacks until actual homes were built to prevent crime and ghettos. Im extremely unfortunate to be forced to live amongst a bunch of ppl who refuse to speak English, who have no respect for my property, who have more money than I'll ever have because they cheat the system and the system allows it. They force housing to be more expensive and wages to be depressed. If you don't believe that then you're not a bright individual.

  216.  @Krill_all_health_insuranceCEOs  libertarianism is infantile. Hating immigrants is not the reason for my opinions. Self preservation is. If it's difficult for them to survive in those countries, tough luck. It tough everywhere. In America there are plenty of homeless ppl, abuse victims, those burdened by healthcare debt. It's not a justification for us all to leave and bring our problems to other ppl who have their own problems in their own land. Discrimination is necessary and we all do it to determine who our friends are, who we work with, who we marry, who we vote for, who we wish to avoid for whatever reason. Its integral to survival. Instead of fighting for immigrants fight for your own ppl. Or else you should be expelled from this country too, for sedition. And yes. YouTube despises ppl speaking freely. I have to practically speak in code.
    1
  217.  @Krill_all_health_insuranceCEOs  if there is enough for everyone, it's only because they stick to their part of the world. We live in a finite world with finite resources. I'm all for beneficial trade agreements to grow like minded economies. But some can't coexist. Also, while I might be "extreme" have you ever considered your policy positions are also extreme? Because I'm telling you in my opinion, letting anyone go anywhere anytime they please freely is an extreme position.

  235.  @mattolivier1835  ah yes, that so called tragedy that has no basis in reality? Because ultimately, things that are beautiful and shared among people of a group who identify with it, all have this patriotic bond to protect it.

If the state mandates these kids are placed into their schools or else face repercussions, then it should be the responsibility of the schools our kids are forced to go to to feed them while they are there.

  251.  @PerryWagle  well I also believe in a land value tax to replace traditional property taxes. That way, the more land they own and the more valuable that land is, the more they pay continuously. I also want to eliminate income taxes for all except people over 10 million dollars. Sales taxes to be replaced with a luxury items tax. I support an assets and market speculation tax. Then a small, progressively increasing tax on corporate profits.

  254. This is why women should not work full time. Getting pregnant is a real hazard. Your duty is to be home, safe and recuperating, to raise those children while the father helps provide resources via working full time. This doesn't negate the need for better wages and unions, quite the opposite. Unions are what allow men to be sole providers for their families.
    1
  255. One minor criticism, the population is not rapidly growing. Immigration is. It's straining resources, lowering wages and collective bargaining power, destroying trust in American institutions, and increasing the cost of living. If we want OUR population to remain stable, we need American women to continue having children with American men.

Complain no one wants to work when they keep being told to suck it up and accept a low wage. You're fortune 500 company exists because of labor. Without labor there is nothing the company can produce or provide.

  274. Yes! Exactly! But that's why class consciousness can't ever work amongst a diverse population. The only thing that could create a sense of class solidarity amongst the diverse working class is their shared hatred for their capitalist overlords. Once the working class takes power however, whatever solidarity and alliance's go out the window. Every group will still have competing interests and it will be a free for all. No one has anything in common with anyone else merely because they happen to both rent their body and mind to a capitalist. What brings ppl together is culture, history and ethnicity.

  276. Conservatives should be on board with things like this. It's pro community and pro self sufficiency.

  277. 1. Reduce costs, reduce quality. 2. American companies should not be able to be bought by foreign businesses or governments. 3. American corporations should be prohibited from outsourcing/insourcing jobs. 4. Companies found taking bonuses or pay increases while layoffs, cost cutting measures, or hiring of immigrants occurs should be met with legal action and potential jail time. 5. Make American Great Again by ensuring manufacturing happens domestically with unions, worker coops and state owned enterprises that guarantee these for profit cretens dont undermine American labor and industry. I swear, i might be a conservative but the more i learn about capitalism the more i want to become a communist.

  278. You CANT retrain, it's never been successful, and you will not take away my beef.

  279.  @johnmcnulty4425  in the aggregate, as a general rule, retraining hasn't been successful. Are you denying decades of data?

  280. Im a conservative. But this shit terrifies me. I'm disabled. My mom is disabled. If we lose SSI, we die. Simple. I'm not able to work a full-time job. Mom can't work at all. These Republicans need to be eradicated and the party needs to adopt populist economic policies that benefit the blue collar workers who support them. Im completely onboard with banning diversity and inclusion from public schools and the military. I'm all for school choice and more specifically, parent-teacher council's that work together instead of against one another. These don't divide anyone. Diversity training divided people. And showing a valid I.D does not restrict voting rights.

  282. If she worked 90 hours a week then how did she get a new job? How would she have time? Did she simply quit? If so, why wouldn't you just do that earlier? No one is making you work 90 hours. You're agreeing to it. Then you don't. And how are you that phat if you worked that many hours? I'm not necessarily arguing these points personally but these are arguments that are rather valid and that would be levied by the Right.

  283.  @pennyhiles4658  as I stated. This isn't necessarily ne making this argument. But these are decent arguments that are going to be brought up by people much less understanding than I. You have to be ready to encounter the Right wing criticisms. So far it does not appear you are.

  284.  @liighterspoppow5152  why would she do it? Do what exactly? Be specific.

  285.  @pennyhiles4658  I said Right wing, not conservative. Not the same thing. Though they are understandably conflated. Yes though, my point still stands. She was working that long and often but still managed to gain that much weight? How does weaken the argument? It doesn't. I care about logic. Not emotion. Logically it doesn't make sense. She complained about her hours and found another job that has better hours. Good. So what's the problem? I support paid overtime being guaranteed, I would argue the 83,000 cap is nonsensical and that there should be no cap at all. But you still need to be able to argue these points. Again, you seem unable to do so.

  290.  @NucularRobit  hey man. If being evil is what it takes to keep others in line and speak the truth then so be it. Personally, I find the immigrants who refuse to speak the language of our country and who demand rights that even most citizens don't have as evil. That's just me though.

  294. Endgame? There is no endgame. It's a reaction to a bunch of racist freaks dividing the country over race by condemning one race for existing and telling the other that they should distrust the other race for simply existing. Stick to unions not this culture war garbage.

  296. The idea that blaque people are charged more is preposterous and I don't believe it. They drive the most expensive cars I've ever seen out on the road anyway. Mercedes, Range Rovers, BMW, Jaguar, Cadillacs... I have never seen a white person drive any of those cars. They can afford these vehicles, vehicles I will never be able to even sit in. They trick out their cars to have those fancy wheels and shit too. And all those paint jobs? The idea that they are oppressed and the idea that the car dealerships are overpricing them does not reflect the reality of the situation.

  297. Could AOC be any bigger of a maroon than she is? "Anti immigrant policies"... What anti immigrant policies? We are rhe single most pro immigrant country on the planet and she was elected solely by immigrants. Immigration has done nothing but lower wages, make us dependent on foreign labor for food and construction, has raised housing costs, lowered our children's GPAs, strained local resources, spikes in trafficking, and has led to a decrease in national unity. We are too pro immigration and its immigrants who have destroyed our economy. Any employer discovered hiring illegal immigrants should be placed into federal custody and charged with sedition.

  301. "Why should my taxes go towards someone else"... Um, thats how taxes work. Everyone pays for a good or service that benefits the majority instead of everyone being on their own. There's this thing called the "social contract" which we all partake in for the betterment of all in what we call "civilization".

  303. Big yikes. They don't wanna be states, they don't even want us there. We should leave and let them control their own destiny. Our immigration there has done harm to them. Because immigration is harmful as a rule. It's why America should do the same and fight back against it so those people can fight for their own national interest back home without our interference.
