  • Reminder that he won election, and four years later re-election, in landslides, even if you go by popular vote.

    Now, there’s one thing you might have noticed I don’t complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain’t going to do any good; you’re just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here… like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There’s a nice campaign slogan for somebody: ‘The Public Sucks. Fuck Hope.’


  • Businesses can’t make a profit without exploiting their workers.

    Literally false, even using your absurd definition of “exploit”. If workers were an overall source of profit, businesses would never downsize–by your logic, since every worker creates more value than they’re getting paid, laying anyone off would be equivalent to throwing money down the toilet.

    But in the real world, downsizing happens all the time. And in the real world, labor is a cost, not a source of profit.

    You can really tell when someone has no experience running a business. I’d love to see you try to open and run a small restaurant for longer than a year with this mindset, lmao.
