But they're certainly nothing like you and they're not going to vote the way you want them to.
Nobody in my family is going hungry.
Quote:
-- Smith earns $67,000 a year. Her husband brings home about $20,000 to $30,000 a year. She says she "makes too much for assistance" but too little to get by. Makes too much is very true because Georgia Median Household Income is $58,700. Makes "too little to get by" is very false.
I live off of just north of 1/10th the Georgia median, and about 1/11th of what Smith grosses in a year. In fact, I live on less than the $7508.00 in Federal Taxes that she will pay in April. Who do you think you're talking to son?
I get a great laugh when I see stories of families making $100k per year and bitching they don't have enough money.
That's not my point here. My point is that they're not voting the way that YOU want them to.
Have a nice day.

Quote:My Mother had a saying that people dig their own graves with their teeth. She would never be so rude as to withhold food from fat people (my Mother and Father worked at Burger King) but her meaning was apparent to her children because we could see fat people dying all over East Texas. Since then, it has become apparent to my children that Republicans dig their own graves with their voting. 6ix, your kind are free to kill yourself whatever way makes you feel good - food, alcohol, tobacco, Trump. Your habits put money in my pocket. Your voting for Republicans means I pay lower taxes when those Republicans, as they always do when in power, lower my taxes.

Let me help your understanding. I make money owning tobacco stocks. I won't use tobacco, but the people who do are making me richer. Thank you for smoking. I am not going to be so rude as to withhold tobacco from an adult. Smokers make their own decisions and I benefit.
One more example: I definitely support the Ukraine War. I also definitely support the extra money I make from higher prices for natural gas, which is connected to Putin's decisions. He is an adult and I'm not going to stop him putting money into my pocket.
Just for the record, there are a lot of fat Americans, Democrat, Republican and Independent. Them getting fat, sick and dead is very profitable for me. I choose not to get fat, but if they want to, I'll sell them beef to fatten them up. (It's health care stocks that make more money for me than beef.) From 1999–2000 through 2017–March 2020, US obesity prevalence increased from 30.5% to 41.9%. During the same time, the prevalence of severe obesity increased from 4.7% to 9.2%. Perfect freedom for them to get fatter/sicker/dumber by choice while I get richer by choice.

Is the United States Totalitarian?
In the three months since Russia began its war of aggression, the character of the country has been changing before our eyes. Its much-vaunted military has been exposed as not only weak, disorganized, and corrupt, but also criminal, engaging in pillaging and the torture and mass slaughter of unarmed Ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war. Resorting to a practice not seen since the Stalin era, Vladimir Putin’s government has also been deporting captured Ukrainians, apparently by the hundreds of thousands, to distant portions of Russia, first passing them through “filtration” camps where prisoners are interrogated for nationalist leanings and selected out for punishment. The Russian judicial system has been mobilized to crack down on dissent against the war; among other things, it is a crime punishable by up to 15 years in a labor camp to refer to it as anything but a “special military operation.” To the extent that there were independent media before the war, they have been shut down and the only voices now in print or on the air are official propaganda. Access to independent news sources on the internet has also been sharply restricted. In sum, Russia has taken a number of steps back toward the repression of the Soviet era.
But as draconian as these various measures all are, Russia is not yet properly called “totalitarian” as it rightly was during the reign of Joseph Stalin or even much of the Leonid Brezhnev era. About a century ago, Benito Mussolini called fascist Italy a “totalitarian state,” a concept that he defined with brilliant clarity: “Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.” But whether the label of totalitarian actually applies to Mussolini-era Italian fascism, or, again, to Putin’s Russia today, is open to serious question. All-encompassing statism was more of an aspiration than an Italian accomplishment. Even the more thoroughgoing oppression of Nazi Germany did not quite fit the totalitarian model, at least according to the criteria set forth by Zbigniew Brzezinski and Carl Friedrich in their influential 1956 volume, “Totalitarian Dictatorship and Autocracy.”

Looks like the Associated Press (fake Leftist "news") is finally admitting that nobody gives a shit about Ukraine or Russia too.

Signym, you write fan fiction where Putin and Trump are the heroes of the stories.
Signym wrote: "Anyway, no alternatives of the scale necessary have been found, which is why the gas-for-rubles payment system is being conceded and why the oil embargo cant get off the ground." That is fantasy. Reality is Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who is considered Russian President Vladimir Putin's closest EU ally, is opposed to the oil embargo.
