Joe Biden is considered the front runner because the media and the rigged polls keep telling us he is. Does anyone here know anyone who supports Biden as the nominee? I haven't met a single person nor have I seen a single sign or bumper sticker with his name on it. Have you guys?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/homenews/campaign/458551-gabbard-hits-dnc-over-mysteriously-incoherent-poll-criteria-for-debates%3famp The DNC is rigging the polls. Does anyone really believe that Beto, Klobuchar or Castro are polling higher than Tulsi? Does anyone REALLY truly believe Joe Biden is still polling at number 1? This whole primary process is a fucking sham. https://www.thedailybeast.com/joe-biden-confronts-fox-news-reporter-peter-doocy-at-iowa-event I'm voting Green Party.

My youngest bro just graduated airforce tech school and is home and my middle bro is going into the Navy so we're celebrating. Woulda got to this sooner BUT forgive me for doubting you expertise of the Japanese economy but I think you did a Google search and came upon this This Quora discussion so I would love for you to explain. If you could also back up your argument of how telling poor folks to not have kids is a good idea. Btw, we're both opinionated Irish pricks so it goes without saying that you can go fuck yourself you arrogant bastard haha.

http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/countries-by-national-debt/ "Japan, with its population of 127,185,332, has the highest national debt in the world at 235.96% of its GDP (although, notably, Japan is also one of the world's largest economies)."

There's one and it rhymes with Zapan.

How many countries have a debt more than twice the size of their gdp?

That's because they spend with a deficit right?

Did you read the part in white? Lol

Not true AT ALL. Poor people have and always will be more religious. https://www.pewforum.org/religious-landscape-study/income-distribution/

Lol I hear you but people with more money have less kids on average too. This would create a lot of problems. "In Japan, employers often struggle to fill job vacancies. Spending on health care and pensions has swollen Japan’s public debt to more than twice the size of its economy. The International Monetary Fund has estimated that the country’s annual economic growth could be 1 percentage point lower for the next three decades because of Japan’s aging population. That means the country’s economy, forecast to expand 1 percent this year and next, may stagnate further" https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-14/humans-having-fewer-babies-is-a-big-economic-problem-quicktake

Enter children into the equation. Say both parents make 15 an hour and they have two kids. They're fucked lol. Do we tell poor people not to have kids if they work minimum wage? What if they're religious and don't believe in contraception?

Renting is one of the biggest costs of being poor. It costs a lot of money to live in poverty.

Yeah but to his point 15 in some places isn't enough. It would be really fucking easy to determine what living wage is by location. It's just a matter of political will. I think everyone would agree that we don't need to be paying for people to live in luxary buy innocent kids shouldn't be going hungry or without healthcare. Isn't it like 1 in 5 kids live in poverty? That's unacceptable in the richest most powerful country in world history that prides itself on freedom. Freedom and poverty are pretty damn close to polar opposites. Poverty and stress also effect academic performance and general health both physical and mental.

Man the greed of Disney is just unbelievable lol. They have a lot of stones trying to make that offer to Sony. I don't blame them for walking. MCU is going steadily down hill too. No more Ironman, no more Spidey, no more Captain America. It's finna be all about gurl power lol. Which character are they gonna make gay? Lololol

To me UBI seems like another corporate welfare scheme. The tax payers are still covering the cost of employment. Also, why wouldn't we bump it up to 2k or something and only give UBI to people that actually need it? I think a jobs guarantee would be much better because it actually adds value to the economy. People get free training/education to rebuild and build new infrastructure and help clean up the environment. Just wanted to add that a jobs guarantee is also a much better solution to cleaning up neighborhoods than gentrification too. If you started giving people in the hood or in the sticks jobs pensions and a good wage they would repair their own neighborhood not only with their new found skills and knowledge but their new found money. Much better than being stuck in the projects or on section 8 barely surviving off food stamps, welfare and selling drugs.

Minimum wage isn't enough. Trillions of dollars have been extracted from the middle class over this 4 decade long corporate coup. Only the one percent has benefitted from increases in technology and these trade deals. The rest of us have been told we need to go into indentured servitude for our education with no promises of a job when we're done or to work 2-3 jobs in a service industry or some other low paying job that you have to hope offers benefits. We need to trust bust, we need to democratize the workplace. We need to take the money back that these people have stolen by gaming the system. This whole conservative idea that the only responsibility corporations have is to make the max profit for their share holders is literally poisoning our water supply and destroying the planet. It's not just Republicans though. This is what happens when you have two right wing parties and everyone else is pushed out of the political system. Regular people get fucked. Plain and simple.

It's also interesting that besides the US, the only countries without universal healthcare have been ravaged by colonialism. The US is probably the only country without universal healthcare that anyone in their right mind would want to live in. You know, all those shit hole countries that we sanction, impose dictatorships and steal their resources and exploit their labor and massacre or fund the massacre of their people? To be fair they're not all just former/current US colonies but I bet they're all part of those "free trade" agreements. Lol You guys say taxation is theft buy I say austerity is theft.

https://theintercept.com/2019/08/19/oil-lobby-pipeline-protests/ These are the worst fucking people in the world and they're the ones that own it. We need to change that.

@DalaiLama4EverIf we let states determine everything black people would be slaves in half the states and all the dumb ass white people down south would be happy to keep working for pennies because at least they're better than someone and all the while the plantation owner would laugh at them. It's like that Dave Chappelle joke about rich white people laughing at Trump voters and calling them white trash lol. Confederacy doesn't work. It's been tried twice. It got smacked down twice. The reality is that we do need a federal government, hate to break it to you.

If you want to stabilize the American family, give people healthcare and a living wage. If you're feeling suicidal you should be able to just walk in and talk to a doctor. Stuff like that would go a long way to preventing mass shootings. By all accounts you seem opposed to this.

The only point I was trying to make was that there are some things that we have to make laws against people owning or restrict ownership of certain things. JD was saying it's not the government's role to tell you how to live but that just simply isn't true. Maybe we should do away with drivers licenses and do away with traffic laws. Who the fuck is the government to tell me I can't drive just because I have narcolepsy? Again, I wouldn't ban assault rifles. I have already said what I would do. I actually agree with much of what you and JD say.

Knives have many uses. Assault rifles have two. To kill a lot of people and entertainment and I guess maybe if you're John Wick and have hundreds of assassin's trying to kill you, self defense. Also, if you recall I said like 3 posts ago that I don't support banning assault weapons.

Should it be legal to purchase chemical/biological weapons?

Well what if my hobby is raping bitches. Should I just be allowed to live my best life? Lol I hear what you're saying bro but we need some rules.
