I remember many times reading personal accounts of people mention how "we were eating good" when they got a paycheck or extra money in some way. But later on I read them say how they would be struggling to pay bills and only have ramen to eat.

I realize that I could never see eye to eye with such people since I would never find myself blowing so much money just because I appeared to have extra. Long term thinking, it is not for everyone, it seems.

Not everyone is fit to be a leader. That is not a problem, since those who are fit to be leaders need able and competent followers. If you are someone who is not suited for leadership, you still need to understand what it takes to be a leader. That way you can understand who is worth following and who is not.

It is easy to be apathetic about our government when you are not targeted by them. But if you ever are in the same position as these parents, government tyranny cannot be denied.

So whenever you are asked, "But how does it personally affect you?" these assholes are either willfully blind or cheer on parents like these getting labeled as terrorists, and such naysayers cannot be trusted.

What this guy does not understand about the opposition to DEI is usually the DEI is not what people are upset about, but the bad outcomes from incompetency or agenda pushing.

When the bad outcome is due to DEI, it makes sense why people would oppose it. People do not like bad outcomes, and if you have a repeated reason for those bad outcomes, then you are going to have people call for the end of that reason.

Watching this video of out curiosity and to confirm if this guy matches the expectation of the Smuggie here. Pretty much.

But I had the moment of "are you freaking kidding me" was that he stated at around the 30:20 minute mark when he said "she was the only one in the argument actually offering statistics rather than emotion."

The "statistics?" That 1/3 women in the US get raped.

Offering statistics means nothing when your statistics are bullshit.

Seeing this video made me think about something regarding right-left politics. It was inevitable that the left would push young men out, because their ideaology of equality is antithetical to how men operate. Men are naturally competitve, and seek to compete to determine where they stand. If left to compete in all areas, men would be dominant in pretty much all areas.

Thus men are shoved down in order to try (and fail) at reaching the ideal of equality.

Even if we believe the data on inflation (we shouldn't), looking at the past 12 months is disingenuous because we cannot just look at economics and prices in an isolated window and proclaim that everything is sunshine and roses. We have to account for the previous years of inflation and economic conditions, which would show that those rising wages still do not offset the previous effects of inflation.

But I don't think the typical NPR listener will consider that one bit.

Even if the plan was to install Trump in office, the shitlib media will most certainly still do their best to run interference.

Example: on state media NPR they mentioned that "pessimism for the economy does not match the numbers" because "wages have increased more than inflation over the last 12 months."

Yes, they want their audience to think the economy is great with this completely retarded line of reasoning. There is no amount of hate for the media that is too much.

I have to wonder if these people like this buy waste basket bags for their smaller garbage bins. Because if you are on the "I can't use a plastic bag" because of "muh environment" but still buy plastic bags anyway, then you are not even doing your part by your standard.

Besides, grocery store plastic bags tend to have handles on them, which makes it real easy to tie your garbage when the bin is full.

But no, we have to virtue signal that we are "doing my part."

I have seen plenty of libshits (such as on NPR) come out against tariffs because "it will increase the cost of goods!" Yes, they are correct. That is what taxes do.

But I also notice none of these faggots ever object to every other tax that also raises the price of goods. Because it only matters that they oppose tariffs because Trump is pushing for them.

I may not be in favor of tariffs, but I despise the disingenuous opposition I am seeing to them.
