But what are you testing? Other income? Assets? If just income, you'd actually be harming those that would be more likely to need the funds since they were still working. It wouldn't make sense to me to exclude the person still actively working and yet allow the person with millions in retirement assets to still receive SS. 

Yup.  Only saying not all reaching retirement should get the while check.  Insurance, not pension, IOW.  Not everyone needs it.  The cat fight on this (terms) would be spectacular

Lifting the cap on contributions is easy pickings.  And I say that as someone who would sure as hell take a hit on it -- I max out pretty early in the year.  Just keep taxing me, and use the extra to make up for the shortfall elsewhere.  People of current means/income can do more to lift things up.

I'm okay with paying more in taxes if it actually means that fewer of my fellow Americans have to spend the last years of their lives eating cat food and living among roaches.

I mean, do that later.  For NOW, I want maximum suffering, I want the whole system to fail so that maybe the fucking idiots who vote for Trump and this shit will realize "gee, maybe we DO need a functioning government and society."  But, once we are back on some sort of "so, society and the common good maybe matter a little bit" train instead of the "fuck everyone, rich people get everything and more of it, everyone else can get fucked, TRIUMPH OF THE WILL!" train, I'm all-in on that plan.

Okay, Ana is catching a lot heat but this is funny. And accurate. I however am irritated by it. 

Well, let's take a look

I think there's a consensus that we overspend on defense.  One of the multiple reasons we don't cut our defense spending is the number of people employed and the economic activity it generates.  Defense exports were nearly 30% of our defense budget in 2023.

So, Trump's foreign policy is going to severely curtail foreign purchases of our defense products, reducing activity in that sector.

Yet our governmental defense spending will remain untouched and likely grow.  

Sounds like a win-win to me.🙄

So much winning 

 

In the spirit maker’s quarterly earnings call on March 5, CEO Lawson Whiting said blocking consumers from buying American-made products in Canada or other countries is a crushing blow for U.S. companies.

“That’s worse than a tariff because it’s literally taking your sales away completely, removing our products on the shelves,” Whiting told investors. “That’s a very disproportionate response to a 25% tariff."

Sounds like we need another law - no college for the trans woke bitches. You can be trans, not taking that away, you just can’t go to college while trans. America, Land of the Freedoms. 

I support them and I have no issue with anyone's gender identity. But I think we'd all agree that they shouldn't be allowed to use bridges or stairs. There are plenty of ramps and various elevating platforms. It'll be briefly inconvenient but we have to think of the kids. If they're driving cross country, which is another thing I'm not sure they should be allowed to do, and they come across a river, they shouldn't be permitted to use the same bridge we cross with our children. Go around. If there is no around, then find the nearest coast and use a boat, like the thousands before you -- can't expect special treatment. 

It's another issue entirely, but I agree that they should be prohibited from grinding coffee beans. There are plenty of pre ground coffee choices available. I shouldn't be expected to explain to an eleven-year-old that there's a high probability that at any moment a trans person somewhere might be grinding coffee. It's unreasonable to foist me into a position of accelerating that level of exposure to the youth.

Exactly.  Furthermore getting attention from the media doesn't mean one is particularly intelligent or insightful, but rather than one draws traffic.  See Boebert, MTG, Gym Jordan, Trump, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Herschel Walker.

It's a bit too factual to be a sermon.  No one gives a shit about the well-being of defense contractors, or their profitability, except to the extent they employ people.

I care very deeply about the well being of the defense industrial base and also think that the idea of “spending too much on defense” is something we can decide for ourselves is extremely naive in the multipolar world that DJT’s team is trying to explicitly create.

It’s not zero percent, maybe less than fifty percent but it’s no where close to zero. It shouldn’t be filed to begin with. And elected officials who do file them should be escorted out of the building. You know this. 

I agree it shouldn't be filed. What should be filed is a bill that restricts the government from collecting data on biological sex and gender.

I don’t necessarily think defense contractors hurting is something we should celebrate. I know it’s not exactly a popular thought, particularly on Surly in CR. 

1) Defense spending has its place.  National defense is literally one of the core missions of any State's government.

2) It should be purposeful defense spending, as opposed to wasteful/just handouts to cronies.  Our defense spending has long had problems on both the waste and handout fronts.

3) Any crippling of CURRENT defense contractors will have ZERO, NONE, NADA effect on our overall defense spending.  Why?

4) Every dollar not spent on missiles from Raytheon or jets from Lockheed will instead be spent on Tesla Robotanks and SpaceX SuperAwesomeMegaMissiles, and AI robot mechazoid COOLBOT3000's from XRobotics (to be founded this week).

 

Anyone who thinks that anything the Trump admin does is actually aimed at reducing grift and payouts to cronies is among the most delusional people the world has ever seen.  Every single thing the Trump admin has done tells you that their highest focus is funneling taxpayer dollars into the pockets of the regime and its loyalists.  Hell, even the cruelty isn't actually the point - the DISTRACTION that the cruelty creates is the point.  While sane human beings are busy seeing and decrying the cruelty, and trying to ameliorate the effects of it....the regime is busy shoveling every taxpayer dollar it can into its own/its friends' pockets.

Again, not a novel play.

A few things:

1. Wasn’t Hanania very recently a MAGA villain? Has he pulled a face turn in recent weeks?

2. This professor was (maybe still is) a fucking dipshit. See #3. However, it’s good to see people waking up (even if it’s too late to avoid a lot of pain).

3. So many otherwise rational adults overreacted to what should have been completely unsurprising boundary-testing by college students. I’ve tried to explain to so many people that performative wokeness is an ultimately harmless (albeit sometimes annoying) fad. But these unimaginative dipshits, swaddled in the false security of normalcy bias, insisted that a bunch of oversensitive college kids were a far bigger threat to their freedoms than an openly fascist would-be dictator and his cadre of anti-intellectual Christian nationalists. They’re in the FO stage now.

Define waste.   

Well, per the current definition, it's "any taxpayer dollar that doesn't go to paying/subsidizing an enterprise owned by Elon Musk."  That's it.  That's the whole definition.

He's not even approaching for the purpose of actually cutting ANYTHING that's actually wasteful.  He is engaged in performative bullshittery to cause maximum chaos, because when there's maximum chaos:

Nothing he does is complex.  Nothing.  They are straight-up-the-middle running plays, exactly as laid out in the fascist playbook.

- Do performative shit to get praise from the idiot masses.

- Cause massive chaos and destruction in doing so.

- In the midst of the chaos and dust, grift, rob, and steal.

 

Glancing through this thread, it occurs to me that we aren't even giving this Trump person a chance.

Just as a reminder, these dipshits were around during Trump's first presidency, which included Trump redrawing lines on a hurricane map, Trump saying windmills cause cancer, Trump saying that global warming was a Chinese conspiracy, Trump saying that we should rake forests, and, of course, the daily barrage on common sense while a global pandemic was killing thousands of Americans per day.  They don't get to pretend that this is a surprise.  They don't get to pretend they didn't have the data.  They just didn't think they'd be personally affected.

All these people who can't believe Trump lied to them are a product of living in the Fox News misinformation bubble.

We're all like, "Of course he lied to you -- that's what he does, stupid.  How could you not see this coming?"

But they really didn't, because they've never heard the litany of stories about how Trump has treated past business partners, etc.  It's amazing how Fox News was able to create a semi-fictional reality and convince a hundred million people that they lived in it.  

But even as I type that, I still can't manage to drum up an ounce of compassion for these people.  Yeah, they were hoodwinked by Fox, and they're being hoodwinked again by Trump, Musk, and a bunch of other colossal assholes.  But decent people did try to reach them.  They called the people who tried to save them libtards, Communists, intellectual elitists, and more.  They wouldn't even take two seconds to put a mask on during a pandemic, and they cheered on the incarceration of brown women and children at the border.  And they were so god damned smug about all of it.  

Welp, you're learning now, aren't you, you stupid little pawns?

Hell, a lot of them don't even watch the "news" portions of Fox News that has at least some basis in reality and current events. Rather, they only tune in for the pure, undiluted propaganda from the opinion shows, which informs them of absolutely nothing going on except what extremely distorted and/or exaggerated liberal boogeyman to get riled up about today even though it has zero effect on your life (the green m&m, Dr. Seuss, etc).
