You would have thought that if the Irish were so against oppression, they would have joined the fight against the Axis in WWII.

But apart from a few volunteers that went to England to fight, the nation just sat on the sidelines.

I can't figure out if they are too cowardly to fight an active war or just too drunk.

Normal people, including most Americans in the 30's, were very tired of getting drawn into conflicts that were none of our business. Especially considering how many people suffered in WWI. FDR had to goad Japan into attacking us in order to get the war he so desperately wanted. Sickening.

1) The total unfunded liabilities of the US are 73 trillion dollars as of 2024.
2) Federal revenue has nothing to do with spending(deficit/new debt).
3) Tax cuts don't reduce revenue.

Definitely agree with the first two points, but what do you mean by the third? Do you mean that, because our revenue has nothing to do with our spending, the revenue generated from taxes is effectively not revenue? I agree that taxes are mostly just a stopgap on deleting money from circulation, but if you remove some money from circulation, and then add new money via deficit, isnt this effectively income in that it offsets the newly introduced money?

If you are disabled you automatically should be eligible to have social programs. He makes it seem like its inpossible. Unless its a self diagnosed disability. He shouldve just try to save up as much as hw could or figure out a back up plan why do these people exprct to be coddled by the government. Next thing they want is to have a big tiddied maid to spoon feed them and clean after them becuase its the government's role to make them happy

Best thing to do in this situation is to leave them completely alone. No press, no protests, no prayers outside the building.

These people absolutely thrive on the attention and if they're alone, they're just a bunch of nerds dressed funny and looking ridiculous for zero return.

This isn't surprising, and it looks like it all went to DEI shit (which they were likely already doing) so who cares. As much as I love Firefox they've done some shady shit in the past to get funding, and that plants seeds of doubt for any time something smells off about them.

But they are a tiny market share in the browser space, and as others pointed out, a fig leaf for Google to use as anti-monopoly proof.
