  1. Republicans got double karma from Stacy. The racist run off system and taking the governorship from her through voter suppression both came back to haunt them

  8.  @zinaj9437  "crt" isnt actually a thing actually tought in schools. It's an optional post graduate program in a handful of universities. Unfortunately consirvatives are using it as an excuse to ban the teaching of any history that paints the US in a negative light. Stuff like slavery or jim crow

  9. thats the trade off for growth and high employment levels. No free lunch. Also wages rise with inflation, so your purchasing power often stays the same or grows over time

  10.  @JP123-z6z  companies making a pro LGBT tweet doesnt mean they're aligned with the left lol truth is Republicans love nothing more than giving tax cuts to the rich and privatising every aspect of life empowering the 1%. Just look at trumps tax cuts, almost all of the benefits went to his rich golf buddies

  25. Looking at the data, partners of teachers faced a 29% higher risk of becoming infected than partners of teachers who shifted to teaching online. Parents of children in school were 17% more likely to be diagnosed with COVID-19 than those whose children were in remote learning.

  26.  @oldskoolmusicnostalgia  The haven't had decades of deflation, they've had bouts of deflation over certain periods of time, but even that has crippled their economy with a lost decade of stagnation. That's why they've been trying desperately to stimulate inflation for a long time

  42. ​ @jacobjankowski That isn't true. Social security isn't funded by the trust funds. In fact, theres no money in the trustfunds at all. They exist merely as accounting entities. The federal gas tax hasn't been enough to cover the highway "trust fund" for decades and yet we never have an issue maintaning them, they're paid for through general revenue. Have you ever wondered why all of these reports about how the trust funds are going bankrupt always leave out the SMI trust fund? Becuase the law says that the SMI trust fund is backed by the faith and credit of the government. All they'd need to do to end the worry about SS going bankrupt would be to give that same legal protectino to the OASI ns DI trust funds too

  56. we don't need to pay down the debt, it's not even really debt in the traditional sense. It's just a stockpile of US bond, these bonds come from the same printer as dollars and are perfectly interchangeable. Don't let rich people make you think we have a debt crisis

  61. it's not really debt

  62. The national "debt" is simply the total amount of untaxed money circulating in the non-govt economy. To reduce or eliminate the debt is to remove money from the private sector, which would cause a recession/depression. That's why the economy has collapsed every time the government has tried to reduce the debt

  65. We didn't do it because it didn't seem like something that would be considered valuable in any way. If I took a dump on a canvas, would selling it for 1 million dollars be justified just because no one else did it?

  66. china doesn't need military force to get it's payments, the US can create dollars out of nothing, so it never misses a payment to bond holders. This is why debt denominated in your own currency is never a problem

  67.  @andrewn7365  stagnation isn't fun
    1
  68.  @wasdwasdedsf  Because the private sector relies on government deficits. The governments deficit is our surplus, so taxing that away causes balance sheets in the private sector to deteriorate until it collapses. The private sector prefers to net save, but it can't do that unless the government net spends
