Yes. That Somali AK is undoubtedly full auto and the gobermint won’t let me buy one commercially because apparently we live in soviet russia… which is where AKs come from.

Don’t hassle me about this.

Ol’ one-titty Yumi.

Correct, but it’s coming from the wrong guy. Libya, Syria, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen would like a word.

Votes don’t equate to real power. Huge amounts of money and resources, like we see everyday in the news, are what move the needle. The only counter to that is mobilized political outrage. Overwhelming numbers of people making the economy sputter until demands are met. Otherwise, we can expect more of what we have now.

But yeah, a higher min wage is a good step forward.

Since no one believes in unions and they’ve been legislatively kneecapped, social pressure to pay them tends to fall on the consumer. It’s not ideal, but such is the economy we live in.

Have you tried blaming someone with power?

Doing well? They’re getting by like the rest of us. Why would they do that job if they weren’t being paid for it?

A lot of people in the comments are remarking on the tip culture in America. Friendly reminder that it’s not the culture that necessitates tipping here. We have a tipping economy when it comes to a lot of service work. $2.13 is the minimum wage for servers in the states. This is less than what could rightfully be called a starvation wage, so tipping is a social necessity. You might think that’s crazy and we should change it, and you would be correct.

Be honest, that’s not where millions of Americans are. 3 jobs, no overtime, ludicrous living costs is where many Americans are.

His support for invading Iraq was pretty bad.

😂😂😂 This is sleight of hand, yall. Don’t follow any of this.

Is this meant to suggest that reactionaries aren’t work-shy as hell? That would be a lie. They all want some bullshit media career as much as any liberal.

So sick of hearing about CK. How could anyone listen to him? He was always talking out the side of his neck.

Yeah, but most Trump sign houses are suburban McMansions and historic urban estates. Like we keep saying, the die hard MAGA people are thoroughly bourgeois and have been all their lives.

The carrot thing isn’t totally untrue, but it’s a bit more complex. If you’re skilled in a trade, you probably have more of a chance of not being financially uprooted than someone with a white collar degree whose job will be AI’d in the next 5 years. That said, to make decent money in a trade, it helps a lot to have a degree from a trade school.

If you want a job as a radiology tech, what hospital is giving them out with no degree?

Absolutely. An economic shutdown would have material effects.

It’s a sanitized social gathering funded by the Democratic party and a bunch of equally lame affiliates. I’ve been to these. They’re meant for boomers to sing We Shall Overcome together and not much else.

I wanna jump her beans.
