Im all for good natured jokes but dont get the shit twisted, your talking ALOT of shit about the people who sent THOUSANDS so we might have a nation

WE are the ungrateful ones to forget that
Never forget Edmond-Charles Genêt, the French diplomat who tried very hard to drag the United States into (another) war with the British. Genêt sought "repayment" for France's assistance in the American Revolution by goading American privateers into capturing British ships, mostly for the purposes of trying to install the Girondins in post-Revolution French government (Note: the Girondins had interesting leadership who worshiped niggers as gods.) Genêt blatantly lied to both France and Britain that Washington, Jefferson and Hamilton were totally onboard with the Girondins. Obviously Washington (who favored neutrality at all costs) did not support this, did not like someone lying to such a degree it would cause a war, and asked France to have Genêt deported. France refused due to the fact that Genêt was a massive faggot who ruined French relations with Russia's Catherine the Great and, unsurprisingly, also nearly caused a war there as well. France was eventually prepared to accept Genêt back for the purposes of putting him in a guillotine, which led to him begging Washington for his life and marrying into a humble family of farmers known as the Clintons.

tl;dr - Whenever a frog goes "What about the American Revolution?", remember this faggot Genêt who tried the same trick to start wars and further French liberalist faggotry. Some historians (and me) believe that this single guy is the reason Americans and the British get along sometimes, while Americans have an enduring hatred of froggots.
 
Republican House Members Told to Stop Holding In-Person Town Halls

I can sorta understand the point here of wanting to avoid drama from protests, but does the GOP not realize the benefits far outweigh the drama?

It's really strong propaganda material. "Republicans will hear your complaints, Democrats will ignore you and pretend you don't exist." "Your Republican representative can actually be reached and spoken with, unlike the Democrat who is never there."
 
remember they switched from beef tallow to veggie/seed oil because of consumer health concerns and price. Beef tallow isn't exactly the best for your arteries (can't speak to veggie oil but remember there was a health scare in the 90s when everyone switched). As for price, while tallow and lard has always been cheaper, we heavily subside our corn and soybean production which leaves us with so much surplus it managed to be cheaper than tallow/lard.
Nah, I remember when places were saying that their fries were now vegetarian, back before veganism took off. It was a marketing tactic that allowed then to use cheaper oils.
 

The Democrats REALLY haven't gotten the memo after the election, eh?

When the enemy keeps making mistakes, don't interrupt them. Go on, put the angry black woman on TV calling the entire country racist and fascists because we don't want our taxes to pay for the fucking Ukraine and shopping sprees for the Faglenskyy family.
 
She’s legally blind in both eyes, and she’s a Moslem. This is just from scraping the surface.

They really couldn’t have chosen better.

The Specter of Kamala Continues to Haunt (Quick Little Dossier on Our Blind "Friend")

So as it turns out, Lateefah Simon is a well known associate of Kamala Harris dating back to her days as a deputy city attorney in San Francisco. She recalls meeting Kamala in her time working as a young organizer and executive director of the nonprofit the Young Women's Freedom Center (I believe in ~2000). At the time, she was a single teenage mother. She later married Kevin Weston, who has since passed away. What really interested me, however, was what came of their relationship later down the line. In Kamala's time as District Attorney (2004-11) of San Francisco she unveiled a plan to reduce recidivism amongst young dope slingers/users, known as Back on Track (PDF praising and detailing the program attached below). Guess who was at the helm of its creation? Ms. Simon. Typical of both California and the blind, attempt apparently has missed its mark. You can refer to the PDF, and this Jacobin article/archive as to why (it's surprisingly scathing).

Kamala would use the underlying framework to expand the program's reach (now to repeat offenders aged 23-53) as Attorney General--most likely failing as well, all things considered. After looking through her wiki, it becomes apparent she leveraged her disability to aide her progress in life. This much is obvious. But what I found somewhat hilarious was how she used it to get elected as a director of BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit). I found it to be ironic, of course. Not only that: she ended up getting into a residency dispute with the board. Nonetheless, she managed to keep the seat before eventually ending up where she is now.

Forgive the crude format.

500 lb calf. I bet you think a Ferrari shouldn't cost $500,000 "because it's just a car" and "they can't possibly pay their factory workers 20x more than Toyota does." Which they don't.

There's a reason luxury goods are expensive, and it actually isn't because they make 500% profit margins. They don't. They typically make much, much lower margins. It's expensive to run a company, and when you sell 1% as many goods as the mass-produced slop, you're going to sell your products for a lot more, because 100% of your company's expenses come from revenues.
 
I was today years old when I learned shoe constructions is US politics.

This thread should be locked again.
to be fair, really understanding how the fuck manufacturing works is important for getting how economics and tariffs can directly impact you, especially on the global scale
and pretty much everybody wears shoes of one type or another and knows the difference in price and build, so it's a pretty reasonable thing to focus on to learn the macro from the micro
