Ayup - and the article’s title contains neither an indication about life or death… that was my original point.

Is this a British wording thing? Because in North America the sentence I gave absolutely can be a headline.

I know you’re being sarcastic but have people really become so fucking self interested that they’ve lost sight of the fact that the people around you doing well is of benefit to you? It feels fucking insane how demonized it is to want your neighbors to have a fair shot at life as well

Oh gosh, sixteen months in prison… their wrists have been so thoroughly slapped.

“James Smith found dead from overdose at 27” - “at age” very much doesn’t mean “definitely alive”.

There is - socialist economic policies that do work.

The problem is that whenever people ask for those they get centrist neoliberal economic policies.

Bold of you to assume most of us could afford or would choose to have children in this fucked up world.

Neoliberalism (what Regean spearheaded) crushes the common man and its widespread embrace has deprived people of the ability to hope for stuff like a house or the ability to afford a family. People are struggling and want change - centrists are failing to deliver that.

One thing to observe is that in areas where true left wing governments hold sway (like Spain) they’re thriving. But yeah, disappointing centrists marauding as liberals (like Starmer) underdeliver and then get extremist right wingers elected.

Fucking hell whenever an article is talking about Carter these days their title should be required to clarify if he just died. Especially when offering a retrospective.

I don’t want to alarm you but posting this comment negatively impacted your KPIs. I’m afraid you’re endangering that two cent annual raise we’d discussed in our mid year meeting. Keep your eyes on your S.M.A.R.T. goals!

Mashed potatoes are not a suppository and I refuse to compromise on that.

Well fuck, I’ve got family there.

That’s what I’ve asked for in my will - it’s an excellent choice!

Have my upvote, you monster.

Please, Sir, you’ve had enough internet.

Yea his “funny story” about carrying around a briefcase to explode his data center is just an asshat wanting to play James Bond.

It would be fucking insane if they started deporting citizens.

I don’t disagree - the media does have an implicit bias… but rarely do they cooperate directly with a campaign. Donna Brazile was fired over how overt it got.

The Sanders/Clinton primary was an example of how powerful dark money can be in campaigns and is a terrible portent of how centrists can create an uneven playing field where money rather than policy or appeal will dictate the winner.

I’d clarify that nothing the Clinton campaign did was illegal - but they absolutely prevented us from having a fair election.

This is such a deeply bad faith argument but, yea, that’s what advertising is and several media outlets coordinated with the campaign to box out Sanders and portray his ideas as fringe.

Harris - because Trump is a fucking disaster… that doesn’t mean the DNC is beyond criticism though.
