Give the power to the working class, vs the owner class. Why is that such a bad thing..

Atrocitus @chicagobeersnob.bsky.social · 11m

Again, this is from the far right's failed ideology of gov handouts to the elite/corporations along with deregulation. We fixed this prior to the neoliberal era.

As always, the right is the cause of the problem.

What do we make the 8 year old do, and are they paid.. or just free child labor?

Atrocitus @chicagobeersnob.bsky.social · 29m

Yes, we need 8 year olds on the fryer, just think of the cost savings so the shareholders can not work anymore!

Funding is the only thing centralized.

When you're options are bad choices, as we do now.. are you really having choices?

Thank you for that!

Which party does the KKK Currently support in 2024 election.. Hint.. it's the party that won.

But, what does that have to do with the conversation other than deflecting more of what you don't know?

This is because of neoliberal (far right) ideology; again ridding America of that ideology.. we can then fix the problems. We didn't have these issues prior to Jan 20, 1981.

Agree, the Charter schools cost a fortune and add no value. Let's ban then, along with religious schools we haven't had a great school system since those far right propaganda places were in place. Public education only, 100% funded by the federal government.

There is nothing to debate, I'm telling you how it works vs what they told us it works.

They aren't holding our taxes, they are holding extra spending issued by Congress.

You know what "trumps" this.. the DNC going back to common sense policies. Simple in text, hard to do in reality.. cause then the DNC loses out on those bribes.. I mean campaign contributions. This didn't happen overnight, or one vote in Nov 2024, this is decades in the making.

Sorry, but taxes don't fund the US GOV, not since August 10, 1971. We know what the type is, US Dollars.. as issued thanks to Congress writing a spending bill.

Arrest and deport them out of the state/city.

Oh, I get what pegging the dollar does and why it's a bad idea. Just saying those like our new buddy.. don't understand that. And in doing so esp now after the elite/corporations raided the treasury thanks to decades of gov handouts from the right isn't a great idea.

DEMS new platform..

Make Taxing the Elite, Great again...

Don't know how we put that on a hat..

We the ppl have plenty of distractions and the media sure doesn't help recall how we got here for both sides.

Like Ron Paul and those wanting to go back to the Gold Standard (GS), they don't understand how the modern world works. They fail to see their ways are in the past and can not work in the modern era.

Thank you, I just recall the private banks bitching about needing to do that. But, haven't heard or seen since the Obama years.

Notice how I said a political ideology and you went political party.. Those two are not the same thing.

I recall umm, in 2008 when the banks ran out of money and part of Dodd Frank was to run random tests to ensure they had enough reserves on hand.. Banks hated this, cause money sitting in reserves doesn't make them money.. But, I don't recall the last time hearing of that.

This is a simple fix; Restore the August 11, 1981 Tax Rates (adjusted for inflation)

Problem solved..

Next?

The right loved the post Civil war period; where children can work and not be educated.. cause an educated public doesn't believe in the right's BS.
