[quote=svelte][quote=FlyerInHi]spdrun, maybe you should be for UBI instead of expanding the social safety net.
You could take your UBI and spend it in Prague.
However, i’m sure UBI would for US residents only and there would be a limit on how long you could be away.
People who manage their money well could save the UBI and invest it to grow their wealth.

With automation and AI, UBI will become necessary at some point. Or some kind of paid national service, perhaps. Andrew Yang will be seen as a visionary.

What is so funny about your whole approach to things Brian is that you really express Ayn Rand’s objectivist point of view. What’s good for me is good for society.

Yet you profess to be a Democrat.[/quote]

Ouch. Lol

I’m being facetious. I always vote my ideals. But if there are individually advantageous policies, I don’t think it’s bad to take advantage.

Being idealistic is not mutually exclusive to making money and earning a good living.

spdrun, you could be right that coronavirus may be Trump’s Waterloo.
Disgust sensitivity could be why conservatives like suburbs and suburban subdivisions.
I have disgust sensitivity myself, but i don’t mind urban grit that one may see or walk through in big cities. I just don’t want it my own space.

If sanitizers moms don’t feel safe, they may turn against Trump.

Personally i don’t mind 4 more years of Trump…. if Americans think that Trump means winning, let them win some more. I have lost confidence in the American people to make the right choices.

In two large samples (combined N = 31,045), we found a positive relationship between disgust sensitivity and political conservatism. This relationship held when controlling for a number of demographic variables as well as the “Big Five” personality traits. Disgust sensitivity was also associated with more conservative voting in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. In Study 2, we replicated the disgust sensitivity–conservatism relationship in an international sample of respondents from 121 different countries. Across both samples, contamination disgust, which reflects a heightened concern with interpersonally transmitted disease and pathogens, was most strongly associated with conservatism.

Whomp! There it is!

I feel tad better now. For awhile I was thinking the Dems had joined the Reps in going off the deep end.

But it looks like there are enough moderates who felt they were gonna get Berned so they got out to vote to put things on the right course.

The sun is shining again.

What’s crazy is wanting to keep overpriced healthcare in this country, not wanting to invest in infrastructure, wanting people to have to pay through the nose for college, and wanting to keep sending our military scum all over the world on homicide sprees. Also, incarcerating about 1% of our population. Not even China does this. Now, carry on.

hopefully after tonight the “movement” is dead.

Do you wanna know what’s really crazy? Someone as truly hateful as you with a heart full of bad feelings for your countrymen expecting the same to have empathy and take care of you

[spdrun]

Lack of empathy begets lack of empathy.

I love many things. I love education. I love science. I love freedom. I love trains. I love nature.

Americans love their military babykillers and napalmers. Americans love mass incarceration. Americans love institutionalized violence towards their own people and towards the world as a whole. Americans love trampling nature for the sake of the ecahhhhnamy and ignoring science.

This is what Americans do to other humans…

What’s wrong with loving beautiful things like trees and trains more than ugly people who bully, jail, murder, maim, and do ugly things to other people? I’m not ashamed that I love things, public things like nice, clean, electric trains to ride on and trees in national parks.

Civilized countries use collective money to build things and structures that improve their own residents’ lives. Parks. Trains. Nuclear power plants. Healthcare systems. Universities.

The only things this nation (as a whole) can agree to pay for are things meant to hurt other people. Prisons. Bombs. Guns. Bombers. Missiles. It says a lot about this culture that people are oh so offended by a “fuck”, “shit”, or the image of a nipple (the original fountain of life) while spending half a trillion a year on institutionalized, organized violence.

too late to take the highroad after spending over 10 years spewing hatred about people. There is nothing wrong with loving things but they’most definitely are things wrong with hating people. there is so much love in this country and so many people so full of love in this country but all you see is negativity and hatred. You’ve made that very clear for the last decade Sza

So, what you’re saying is, the US should have just stayed home and let Hitler ruler Europe? Maybe they’ll still have Parks. Trains. Nuclear power plants. Healthcare systems. Universities.
