What is hard about understanding this?
Since you like cars think of it like this:
If cops fail to enforce minor traffic tickets, do you not understand how people will stop following those minor rules, creating a culture where everyone disregards all driving laws causing serious consequences?
Like, this shit is as simple as cause and effect as dropping a glass of water and the water not staying in the glass …
But you and lots of others just can’t understand.
A correct but unfortunately unpopular opinion
she was investigated heavily. did you forget?
She was investigated…
It was found she broke the law…
And she faced zero consequences…
I’d try and help you understand more, but not when you’re that insulting
I just can’t shake this feeling though that things are painfully unfair
It is for everyone…
Everyone else got it, why not me?
Even if your childhood was rougher than most, some had it worse. Like, I saw a story about an adult 5’9 man in his early 20s. His parent took him out of elementary school when CPS started investigating. When he was finally rescued he weighed 70lbs and his teeth were breaking as he tried to eat food, but he was too hungry to stop due to the pain.
So you very well could have had a very shitty childhood, but it’s not as bad as that guy and you’re on your own with the opportunity to support yourself.
To look on the brighter side: all the bullshit that comes with being an adult won’t seem as bad to you.
This is what happens when both parties excuse anything their “team” does…
Too many Americans were fine with Hillary and mad about this, or mad about Hillary and fine with this.
Meanwhile saying something as basic as:
Everyone needs to be held to the same standard
And both sides pile on accusing you of “whataboutism” for saying standards should apply evenly. It makes zero sense, but happens fucking constantly
So you acknowledge Carter’s right leanings were a problem, not what voters wanted, and that it started a trend we’ve wasted 50 years on and led to Republicans becoming more and more extreme to the point trump is on his second term…
But you’re just ok with that
Because you think Carter wasn’t smart enough to see where his policy would lead? Even when the majority of Dem voters kept screaming it?
Not really sure I can say the name, but this one?

That semi-ended his music career…
The album art featured him standing in front of the twin towers while they exploded, and that was the lead single.
It was set to release like 9/16/01, and Boots did not push back the album or change the cover art
He’s pleading guilty to get life without parole instead of executed.
Boots Riley has been saying it for decades…
It’s finna blow cause
They got the TV, we got the truth
They own the judges and we got the proof
We got hella people, they got helicopters
They got the bombs and we got the, we got the
We got the guillotine
At the time of his presidency Carter was fighting a movement from the Dem voters who said he was too conservative for them. Their concern was politicians kept moving to the right, and they were concerned what would happen if there was no left party anymore…
People today thinking of Carter as a leftist is very unuronic, and what our grandparents were afraid of
So they’re running ~15 a day?!
You said “not 2012 Obama after we found out he wasn’t much better
I literally didn’t…
But by 2012 we knew it was all bullshit and most people were holding their noses again.
People voted for change in 2008.
In 2012 they voted to not have a Republican.
You seem well…adjusted?
I think the issue is I said one thing, you’ve clearly misinterpreted it…
And now you want me to defend a position you made up for me.
Why would anyone spend their free time doing that, even without you insulting them?
Why would anyone every help you understand things?
Who said that?
He was the most progressive president of my lifetime…
And as Americans we should all be ashamed the bar is that low.
We need to do better moving forward, if the goal is always “be what it was like 20 years ago” then how the fuck isn’t it a conservative party?
If that’s what you want, go moderate the Republican party.
Your ideas ruined one of two political parties, then moved to the only other option and insisted you know better than the people who actually pay attention
Why?
Don’t get me wrong, 08 was literally the only time I’ve been able to vote for what I wanted rather than just against a Republican…
But by 2012 we knew it was all bullshit and most people were holding their noses again.
We need a candidate like Obama in 08, not 2012 Obama after we found out he wasn’t much better
All brands and businesses are trying to make money
But only publicly traded ones will trade the brand recognition they’ve built for short term profits…
Investors care about quarterly growth, which literally cannot keep constantly increasing.
A private company could have a flat dollar goal for yearly profit. And not give a shit if that number goes up 100k a year at the detriment to long term profits
I thought that didn’t need explaining, but I can admit when I’m wrong.
It would be a lot more common if we had anti-monopoly laws still.
There used to be a shit ton of regional stuff like this where one family owned everything, and 10 million a year was good enough instead of needing x% growth forever.
If you’re not cutting every corner to make the quarterly % increase constantly go up, workers aren’t getting fucked over as much, at least not every time. So everyone losses when we have mega corps. And that’s the natural result of unregulated capitalism
Inherently all brands
All publicly traded brands…
Arizona Iced Tea
Dudes a multi-billionaire and doesn’t understand how someone could want more.
That’s why he puts the MSRP on the cans even tho he can’t control store prices. Most stores still sell it at 99c, because they’re still making profit on it.
He could sell them for 2x and barely lose any sales, but why?
Who said it was the same amount of bad?
I said they both broke the law and should have been held to the same standard: the law.
This isn’t complicated, although I have started to notice the ones not understanding this all have accounts on lemmy.ml
So I’m going to be an optimistic and assume you all could understand this, you’re just intentionally not
