They seem to be heavily planted in San Francisco. Remember the $1.7M toilet: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/oct/24/san-francisco-1-million-public-toilet

I don’t drink. Is kandlekid also running for POTUS? He’s not me lol. My guess is I’m probably the only poster actually registered with the FEC right now. However, the others haven’t displayed their identities lol.

Guessing this was meant for me. Off the top of my head, this is the dumbest city council proposal I’ve seen in my lifetime. It distracts from people who are seriously trying to find actual solutions and becomes propaganda to broad-brush the entire party. Prominent black Democrats should be...

Well...the money has to balance somehow. This is not something that pays for itself through economic growth like education/R&D/infrastructure. In fact, it has the opposite effect as it incentivizes people not to work or produce anything.

Just run for Congress.

From my understanding Covid and drug overdoses were the main factors in the recent downticks: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/22/covid-19-and-overdose-deaths-drive-u-s-life-expectancy-to-a-25-year-low-00075081 The Covid factor should lessen, but I'm not so sure about the drug use. The...

The US shouldn't default this decade (unless the GOP forces it), but if they don't make changes to entitlements or have massive unprecedented economic growth it will happen. The main country to watch right now is Italy. They look to have an economic catastrophe coming.

The rich have always lived significantly longer. White people lived way longer than black people when Social Security was implemented.

Well, we could change things. Raise the age for social security. Make the healthcare system more efficient. We spend about as much on Medicare as Singapore spends on its entire healthcare system/capita. Singapore covers everybody. We don't. Singapore has better outcomes. Singapore has one of the...

$41T is the amount of wealth for the top 1%. If we take 100% of that (assuming there will be no other negative consequences which isn't true) that gives us about a third of what we need. The fact is that an economy is only as strong as the goods and services it produces. If you have a lot of...

Fine, then we need significantly more middle class taxes or we default. There's not enough billionaires to pay for it all. The math doesn't lie. People lived almost 20 years less and they were having a lot more babies when Social Security was first enacted. I don't think moving full retirement...

They need to do something about entitlements. Move the age limits around more aligned with demographics. The rest of the spending doesn't appear to be a major problem. Of course the GOP only cares about this when Democrats have the presidency.

Such a high consumption tax would likely massively expand the black market economy. We see this now with taxes on weed and tobacco.

Hopefully the guaranteed $97,000 is re-adjusted for inflation every year, because there's going to be a lot of it.

I approve of $5 million/black person as long as they include me.

The real reason you see a lot more crazy stories out of FL than other places is the public records laws which allow journalists to get the details of every arrest.

Come on...nothing is more American than a mass shooting. It's not just a FL thing.

Rape is underreported across the board. Furthermore, less than 1% of rapes lead to a conviction. Why? Because it's really hard to prove. If all you have is a he said/she said there's way too much reasonable doubt to prosecute.
