My retirement plan:

I think for a not insignificant portion of people it's about the people around them. Maybe I'm committing the logical fallacy of using my personal experience to assume a larger trend, but for me I know I'm only still here because I don't want other people in my family to be upset. It would absolutely crush my mother so as long as she's around I have to be as well.

Wolff is an interesting character. I want to like him, but this is kinda his "thing." America is always in decline, which I suppose it is. I've listened to a lot of his stuff and basically if you've heard one "speech" you've heard them all.

Rather odd for T-Mobile to be aiming for what I can only imagine is a rather small population, the pedophile market.

Their new marketer must have graduated from the Epstein Island school of business.

This is going to have "downstream" impacts as well... For those poorer Americans that are "lucky" enough to have a space to rent out, that rent is going to get more expensive to cover the loss of income they need...

Between the social security, Medicare/Medicaid (I can never remember which is which) and this bullshit, my rent is about to skyrocket so my landlord can stay afloat. :/

I would laugh hysterically if news of his death lead to an immediate jump in the stock price as well.

I would also just be very very happy to not have to share the same planet with that opportunistic Nazi asshat.

You're seriously misunderstanding my comment if you think I'm a tankie. Hell I even posted a comment in another thread mentioning my distaste for the "dictatorship of the proletariat" concept.

My comment was about the fact that we openly refer to a judges political beliefs to inform us of how we should feel about them because the judiciary has gotten so broken that we can essentially tell how a judge will rule based on their political leanings as opposed to simply following the law. I didn't mean to say "we only have liberal and conservative judges" as some lamentation of the lack of leftist judges.

While that also sucks, it's not really what I meant. I just hate that it's come to the point that we need to identify the judges by their political leanings because that's how they rule on cases as opposed to a straight interpretation of what the law says which is what they're supposed to do.

If the judges have those personal beliefs and a case related to that comes before them I'd want them to consider the law not their personal beliefs, so we shouldn't have to be identifying them in this way.

We've come to identify them by their political leaning because it has come to the point that we get rulings based on their political leaning as opposed to what the law says. Hell it's why muskrat was pushing for "his" judge to win. He knew that the judge he backed would rule in his favor and we know he would have ruled in favor of Republicans plans for gerrymandering when that absofucukinglutly should not be the case. :(

I'm glad, but I'm still pretty damn irritated that we're all seemingly "ok" with the fact that we just have "liberal" and "conservative" judges.

They're supposed to be impartial. We shouldn't be able to tell how they're going to rule based on their political leaning, it should be purely about the law. :(

As an American I can say its actually gotten a lot easier, it's all sad. Just sad all the time.
