Come on, look at the alternative that the PARTY chose. Cuomo was meant to be handed that position.

The parties don't give a shit about what the public wants. They have an agenda and they're working towards it. Any time a candidate comes along and tries to really help people with policy changes they are stabbed in the front by the other party, and stabbed in the back by their own.

dump them to SSD RAID storage.

Because people totally have DS/3DS/NX card readers and do personal exports before running their emulators. (/s obviously)

The reality is that for 99.999% of owners of these consoles, they're probably going to boot up their old games and wonder where the saves are, if the old games even work anymore. I've already had this happen to the PS Vita with their first party hardware, I should have found a way to install a CFW and get micro SD cards working instead, but I paid for all my licenses and for expensive first party memory cards and now i'm SOL, just like most people.

The rent seeking is so hard with this automate-the-profits bullshit.

The moment we perfect auto-taxis the service should be a public benefit and run by a nonprofit.

The funny thing is that if they used the 100k/year for labor, they would be able to pay out $87,600 after 12.4% employer tax, this equates to ~$42.11/hr. I absolutely promise workers will line up for that wage.

Course that still doesn't provide healthcare. That being said, the farmer is pocketing more money by paying the employee so little than what the employee actually makes, and this money is not at all earned by the farmer, but a handout from taxpayers. The employer gets to profit from the fruits of their labor on top of making more money simply by paying them the legal minimum they can pay with the program.

Importing workers to make 16.84/hr. Just what American is going to accept that kind of wage when the boss is getting grants of hundreds of thousands of dollars?

The immigrant would have to work 11,876 hours to earn the 200k handout that the boss gets for hiring him seasonally for two years. How is this sustainable? Are we all going to be working to subsidize farmers by 100k/year to hire a single foreign farmhand?

Not to mention the program for that grant has only 141 members... it just doesn't make sense.

Healthy enough to work or sick enough to die.

That's what they want. Work or die. It's that black and white for the ~~slave~~ working class.

Isn't the national guard supposed to be a state level militia?

Makes zero sense that the federal government should dictate where and how they are used. The feds should be going to states and asking to borrow their militia for whatever happens, typically national disaster response and not murdering political dissenters.

I have assumed they want downward pressure on labor costs but by removing labor you just raise the cost of it. Supply vs demand... cut off the supply and the demand peaks.

Raise the labor cost on manufacturing, food, landscaping, etc and you just raise prices for everybody, more runaway inflation happens and the US competes even less with the rest of the world.

Just doesn't add up to me. Maybe for billionaires the math works out in their favor though.

Looks like four domestic terrorists.

If you were right it would be happening and they would be winning.

It just doesn't happen. If you aren't D or R you're not getting party funded, and running independent is fucking hard. If you're D or R You'll get primaried to death by a better funded same party opponent who doesn't mess with the source of said party funding.

I'm really wondering what the real reason is behind the anti-immigrant actions. Sure, racism is part of it, but there has to be a money aspect for somebody because of all the extra business.

This is generating a ton of jobs in louisiana, which is basically the last slave state as-is with how their prisons are run anyway.

All I want is a party by and for the people

Never going to happen.

Political parties are run by the wealthy elite, not "the people"

There's nothing to allow for a candidate who is sincere but not connected to big money to succeed at anything but the most local of elections.

If someone were to win a bigger federal level election with word of mouth and no money, be sure that whatever social media platform that allowed their word to go out and grow was on their side and working in the shadows of their 'formula' that promotes some content over others.
