This dude has evangelicals in his base and mimes a blow job days before the election and he still might win. We live in interesting times.

Solar is very expensive upfront cost and requires upgraded infrastructure. Cuba is poor and their infrastructure is old as fuck.

Seems like they must have fucked up multiple times. I’m thinking it was probably the nurses that blew the whistle on this and stopped the whole thing.

Kinda get the feeling the for-profit medical system is deeply corrupt.

Kinda. Trichinosis will eat your eyeballs eventually if allowed to progress far enough.

Lazy. You are now required to clip DS9 together into a Steamed Hams parody and post the video.

Not sure what you’re talking about. Since the summer it’s just been post about Dems and how Republicans are weirdos. Honestly, the socialist presence on Lemmy is lacking.

Members who support Trump will never hear this story so it won’t change their mind.

So they decided to vote for the anti-union capitalist.

It’s painfully obvious lemmy is overrun with astroturf. Kamala spam has been oppressive and it’s just cringe most of the time. I refuse to believe that most of the real users here are that cringe. Also, I support Kamala.

This was for 2023 and the job market was hot that year. If you switched jobs you probably got a double digit pay rise, and many people were doing it. That’s what drove the number.

However, the job market is kinda crashing right now in 2024. So I don’t think it’s a trend that will continue.

They were betting he’d win and just blatant cronyism and corruption would ensue.

We don’t need more small businesses. We need less corporations, less ultra wealthy and more healthy middle class. This does not solve anything and a one time tax deduction doesn’t make small businesses sustainable when they have to compete against corpos.

The reason capitalism leads to fascism is that inevitably capitalism will lead to untenable inequality. Injustice will be too great to ignore between the rich and the rest. This will lead to populism.

There are two forms of populism. One will seek to rectify the imbalances caused by capitalism. The other will seek to divert blame to minorities. If there were less blacks, immigrants, gays, Jews, etc. etc. then our society would not be in decay. One is much more useful to the Capitalist and so it will ultimately prevail. The capitalist will devote all resources to crushing the leftist populism up to and including directly funding fascism.

“There was not a family relying on me to pay the rent, put food on the table and keep the bills paid by the end of the month,” she added. “But the reality of McDonald’s is that a majority of the folk who are working there today are relying on that income to sustain a household and a family.”

Gen X is too small to matter. Millennials are stepping up and will compete with Boomers for a little while until they finally take over. Thing about Millennials though is that it is a very K shaped generation. About half have had decent success and are conservative/liberal and the other half have been absolutely crushed so it’s kind of a mixed bag and as long as the Boomers have any influence not much is likely to change. GenZ is bigger than Millennials though and should be right behind them. They are very different and much more politically radical, on both the left and right. Things are likely to change with them.

If money is such a problem, they got so many problems. I think we can solve them.

Well this election isn’t about reading anymore. It’s about who’s still alive on election day.

Biden will lose. This is a critical juncture, just like 2016, and the Dems are going to fuck it up again, and then blame the voters for not voting when they had every opportunity as a party to correct their shit and not put a person who actually can’t form coherent sentences as their candidate.

If this is the best they can do, then the party needs major reforms. They are handing this to Trump.
