These people are so insane it's beyond belief. But, but Trump.Oh no there’s no scarier narcissistic cult than progressives. It’s not even close. And Michelle isn’t Barack as Hilary isn’t bill. Michelle would be like the squad. Complete disaster.
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 coThese people are so insane it's beyond belief. But, but Trump.
Michelle Obama, the only one with balls in the family.who is big mike? i don't have time to watch a video. you know i'm just rapid fire whle doing other shit dbm
I fall into every one of those privileged "classes".
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.He's a twice-impeached former president who's running for president again with four pending indictments and 91 criminal counts. He's defending civil suits for fraud and defamation. His company has already been convicted of fraud and the organization may go belly-up. He spews bullshit and lies every day of his life, he tried to overturn an election he lost, and he's one of the greatest con men who ever lived. But no one can think about him or talk about him - - - unless it's justification, praise or promotion. Too effing funny. And what's even funnier is that you seem to have given up trying to defend him. There's never any substantive reply. It's just allegations of "TDS!" Weak.
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.Bowls will die a slow death outside of playoffs. No one will care
It's your fault St Paul will soon collapse.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.
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?
Lucas Davenport just hired a moving company and is on his way to Nashville.
@JamieDimonsBalls do you live in St. Paul? Because you’re screwed if you do.
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.These people are so insane it's beyond belief. But, but Trump.

Lots of memes about this.

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.

You're just being paranoid.@JamieDimonsBalls do you live in St. Paul? Because you’re screwed if you do.
Cool link. Stop calling her Mike. @TheOriginalHappyGoat
You sure about those welfare spending numbers?not like a frog in water at all. growth of big govt was fast. growth of welfare state is a myth.
and you're confusing the growth of the federal government, which started during the depression and then exploded during WW2. with the growth of the welfare spending, which hasn't grown much (now 2.3% of GDP, was 2.1% in 1940) minus some economic downturns and a pandemic.
not sure why you lobbed "public education that decreases individualism" into a mix that includes some decent points. other than that it made you feel good? lol
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.federalsafetynet.com
That site I linked to has some interesting stats and analysis. I wonder what this is missing: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.

I’m going to look at this later. Something doesn’t look rightThat 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.
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
www.usgovernmentspending.com
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 find this stupid rumor and "humor" even more crass than the Trump incontinence crap (intended).That's who Mike is? DBM knows better.
