the only way this country goes down the toilet is if we allow the liberal democrats to remain in control. Its almost too late, but the country can be saved from the totalitarian socialist assholes that have ruined Europe and Canada
Really? So the private corporate bureaucracies are supposedly better? You drank the Kool-Aid. At least our government holds elections. When was last time anyone got a vote at work?
Yeah, about our health care compared to yours in Canada. Aside from your incredibly long waiting lists for healthcare.

I'll address only one of your goofy statements. Destroying that one destroys your credibility for the rest, as if you cared.
Democrats Are Nothing But the Richkids Rightists Love
Loyal-Peasant Attitudes Don't Belong in America, and Neither Do HeirHeadsI loved your comment "They compete with each other to see who can own the largest private jets and mega-yachts, multiple mansions all over the world, private islands, and even their own spaceships.
I was a data consultant for a yacht builder and most of the workers really liked the fact these billionaires were buying those mega-yachts. Plus there were a lot of real estate brokers made great living selling those multiple mansions. What is really funny is
I haven't heard of any of those evil wealthy people burying their tax savings in the back yard or under their mattresses. Seems they with their "yacht" experiences could see with those poverty ridden workers the adage..."rising tide raises all ships". US Average Hourly Earnings is at a current level of $33.44.

Don't like your private bureaucracy? You're free to find a new one.
No, I'm not, because my healthcare is tied to that employer, along with other important services and benefits, not to speak of my livelihood. It might be easy for millionaires like you to just hop from one company to another, but not for most Americans, who need to work to eat and have a roof over their heads. How many CNC programming jobs are there in my city or town, do you know? Not many. That's what I do for a living. Do you believe moving my wife and kids around the county, from one job and location to another, is an option? You're in Lala land.
More, I was responding to a comment about how supposedly incompetent and inefficient the government is. That was the context. That's an old canard, used by confused Right-Wingers, who think private companies are more "efficient" and effective than the government. They drank the capitalist Kool-Aid, because private companies are often more bureaucratic and inefficient than government, and their bottom line isn't to serve the community but rather to make a profit.
So efficiency isn't necessarily the most important performance metric or priority. I prefer to have someone working for my well-being and that of my family's, whose primary purpose is to serve and protect people, than a private company whose only bottom line is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
What do you do if you don't like the DMV or your local PD?
I haven't gone there in years. How does that compare to the place where I go six days a week, ten hours daily? The PD? If the DMV or PD needs to be improved, that can be addressed at the city council meeting, or in the next election. When was the last time your beloved private bureaucracy held an election? Like NEVER. You live in Lalaland, because you're probably a retired elderly person on Social Security and Medicare, who doesn't care about anything anymore. I find many of you older folks on this forum are nihilistic, you're leaving this world with a big FU to everybody. You don't care about anything. Behaving like an old crusty, bitter demon.
Every day, when they choose to stay at that job or find a new one.
As I mentioned earlier, that's an absurd position. That's like telling someone, that if they don't like how this country is doing politically and otherwise, they should just leave.

TODD THE ANTI-PATRIOT, WHO HATES AMERICA AND ITS WORKFORCE.
As if people have the option, to just pack up and leave everything, to settle in another country. At least in our country, we have elections that allow us to reform it. The workplace should be the same. There should be democracy in politics and in the workplace, where we have our livilhoods, not to speak of other needed services like our healthcare insurance.
Ok. Who has a better record of successful launches recently, NASA or SpaceX?
OOOPS!

You're handing over all of our infrastructure in space, even Mars, to Elon Musk and his "SpaceX company". Musk the billionaire rich boy, born into wealth and morally supported by devils like you. We don't need SpaceX or any of these billionaires. The American people through NASA, can accomplish 100X what SpaceX has. Fake "patriots" like you defund Nasa, and get America dependent on billionaires, that only care about their wealth and power. You're no patriot, you're a devil.
Musk didn't start a software company with his brother?
Didn't start another company that eventually became PayPal?
Didn't start SpaceX? Didn't help Tesla become wildly successful?
You're missing my point, as always. Your above drivel, is in response to my saying that Elon Musk, isn't "self-made", not that he didn't accomplish anything in life. That's your silly straw man argument. I never said Musk is a vegetable laying in bed all day. I said he got plenty of help from others, like his wealthy family, the US government..etc.
Like WalMart?
Yes, like Walmart, a multibillion-dollar company, that makes tens of billions of dollars yearly in profits and yet refuses to pay many of its employees a living wage, forcing them to receive food stamps (government public assistance). The government has to pick up the bill, for Walmart's greed.
Walmart ranked among the top four largest employees of SNAP and Medicaid benefits in the states whose data was included in the report, employing an estimated 14,500 workers who received food stamps, according to the GAO report’s findings. McDonald’s was listed in the top five for at least nine states and was said to employ nearly 8,800 workers who received SNAP assistance within the data set.

Well let's go back in history and tell me how many people were uninsured as repeated by Obama... 46 million. Right..

Well let's go back in history and tell me how many people were uninsured as repeated by Obama... 46 million. Right..
"Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the 'stupidity of the American voter' (remember he is talking about YOU!) or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass.”
This from the architect of Obamacare, Gruber who also said ..." using data from the Census Bureau,
estimate that Medicaid “produced 63% of the gains [in coverage] that we identified” for 2014.
Now you don't I'm sure understand the above but let me help you for your 8.5 second attention span!
Obamacare architect Gruber called YOU stupid for voting for Obamacare!
63% of the enrollees WERE ALREADY ELIGIBLE BEFORE OBAMACARE! Do you understand?
These 63% never knew they were eligible BEFORE Obamacare... why didn't Obamacare concentrate on USING existing Medicaid allocations to get these 63% enrolled BEFORE creating the gigantic wasteful Obamacare? Obama's lie has been totally exposed:
"46 million uninsured"was not the whole truth,
11 million are illegals and
14 million were eligible for Medicaid..
So that left 21 million truly "uninsured" BUT WAIT...
What about the military?
In 2021, 3.5 percent of all people in the United States were covered through military health care (including TRICARE, VA or CHAMPVA). This statistic shows the percentage of U.S. Americans insured by military health care from 1990 to 2021.
Hmmm... The estimated population of the U.S. was approximately 331.89 million in 2021, so 3.5% is 11,616,150 insured!Health insured by military U.S. share 1990-2024| Statista
In 2024, some four percent of all people in the United States were covered through military health care (including TRICARE, VA or CHAMPVA).
So 21 million truly uninsured is actually less than 10 million! nearly 80% fewer than Obama's
"We are not a nation that accepts nearly 46 million uninsured men, women and children," President Obama told doctors in a speech before the American Medical Association in Chicago in June.
So why didn't the MSM tell us the falsehood in this number? Seems pretty clear... there never were 46 million uninsured Americans!
And remember what the architect of Obamacare Gruber said about you believers.."it took the stupidity of the American voter'..
you see what Obama and his administration thought of you???
Overtime pay should begin, yes, only begin at 2x the normal hourly rate and it should be LAW.
