Scary Democrat stuff
- Thread starter CO. Hoosier
- Start date
woke cultists are absolutely frightening!!! as an aside tho i'm not sure a company has had a bigger fall from grace than boeing. just pure evil mother****ers. a once proud co
I fall into every one of those privileged "classes".
Tough shit.
Oh, and I ain't relinquishing any advantage they may have bestowed on me.
And you who are underprivileged, neither would you if you were among the privileged.
Those of you who feel guilty, give up whatever you like.
That’s exactly what makes it TDS. Virtually no one is defending him, but you’re too dense to see that attacking the current administration & it’s bs isn’t the same as defending The Donald.
Bowls aren’t going anywhere as long as they are making money. Think about all the shitty TV shows that exist? Also, the coaches like it because they get a few more weeks of practice.
100% chance it will be a crapshow. I mean, if having all men in charge is bad having all women can’t be good then either, right?
That Hopkins thing is not only disgusting but is sending the wrong message to those who need a better message. The difference between Mae Jemison and a woman of color struggling to keep her head above water isn’t some white dude, or a heterosexual. The difference between a white guy holding a cardboard sign on a corner and a white guy who has a job and owns a home is not whiteness or blackness. Privilege is not a zero sum game. If a black guy gets a good education and a good job, he hasn’t taken a job and education from another black guy.
Sure, there are privileges in life. Some are indeed immutable characteristics. But most privileges have to do with fathers, family and education. Those privileged advantages can be mitigated, if not overcome, , but we can’t do that by telling people there is no use cuz you’re a black ,gay or whatever.

Because there aren't any dicks on the city council?
I thought you guys were all huge MLK supporters by the way you constantly requote the only thing MLK ever said....'don't judge a person by the color of their skin but by the content of their character'.
It's almost time to post that meme again fellas! How many times will it be posted??
To be fair he didn't, not say to judge a person by their genitals, just the color of their skin.
Is there a ranking service for potential city council members that we can check to make sure we have the top candidates?
You have a better argument going with a lack of gender diversity claim here FYI vs the city is going to collapse just because there aren't men on the city council.
That is cartoonishly misogynistic. Like a really terrible, woke movie written by AI level of dumb misogyny.
Appreciate trying to soften the juvenile insult here.
Many in Maga like to say Michelle is a dude with a big dick and that Obama is secretly gay because it encompasses what they perceive as the ultimate insult to the former first family....girl that's a dude and dude that is gay.
A decent comeback when you hear this kind of slur is to say 'we know Melania doesn't have one because everyone has seen her pu$$y.'
Cool link. Stop calling her Mike. @TheOriginalHappyGoat
You sure about those welfare spending numbers?
Welfare Budget
Here is the welfare budget of the U.S., including individual programs, their share of total federal expenditures, and growth over the years.

Can’t find my source but it was based on % of GDP. Want to say Covid bumped it 3 fold before coming back down. Will see if I can find it.
That site I linked to has some interesting stats and analysis. I wonder what this is missing:
Poverty Gap
The Poverty Gap is the annual income necessary to move an individual or family out of poverty. In the United States, the Poverty Gap is equal to the shortfall between the Poverty Threshold and the income of the individual or family. For example, a family of four with an annual household income of $20,000 is $9,950 below the Poverty Threshold of $29,950. Therefore the family is considered to be “in poverty” and $9,950 is the Poverty Gap.
The Total U.S. Poverty Gap Compared to Welfare Spending
The U.S. Poverty gap for all people in poverty in the United States totaled $279 billion for the year 2022. It is calculated using Census Bureau poverty statistics as described below. Therefore, we could have ended poverty in America for $279 billion. Yet in the same year, the federal government spent $623 billion on 13 welfare programs, not including Medicaid (health care for low-income Americans). Therefore, we spent $344 billion more than was necessary to end poverty in America. (emphasis mine)Was poverty eliminated from the high welfare spending? No. Poverty in America has hovered between 11% – 15% of the population since it was first measured in the 1960s. Here are the numbers on spending and the poverty rate over the last 50 years and the reasons the high spending does not eliminate poverty.

US Government Welfare Spending History with Charts - a www.usgovernmentspending.com briefing
According this, income security payments and Medicaid are the real movers, but overall govt spending (local, state, federal) is near 1940
levels. One shift noted was the fed govt taking on welfare from state and local . Had no idea.

I think the link I posted included Social Security in the welfare state expenditures. That might be one reason for the discrepency.US Government Welfare Spending History with Charts - a www.usgovernmentspending.com briefing

Also, I don't know how to square your 2% number with this, from your link:
Governments spent up to one percent of GDP on health care for the poor until the 1960s. Now the total is reaching 4 percent of GDP. (This excludes Medicare, the federal health program for senior citizens.)
I find this stupid rumor and "humor" even more crass than the Trump incontinence crap (intended).

These gov agencies and programs don’t fix anything. It’s like a gerbil on a wheel. Hell it’s against their interest to do so. Then how do they employ or get more funding. It’s no different than nonprofits. If a development director asks for less money in a grant they can’t keep staff and admit that whatever they are doing isn’t as vital as it once was. It’s always more
