  • Jim Beam shutting down bourbon production at Kentucky distillery for a year as Trump’s trade wars hit sales

  • We say they are stupid because they don't have the same information we have. We run in different circles, and read different information intentionally.

    But there are neurosurgeons out there who live in towns where everyone watches Fox News and such and everyone around them repeats the same shit, and they believe Biden caused the inflation, and Trump did nothing wrong and was going to fix inflation with a magic wand and no policies to do so. It is enforced by everyone/thing around them. Should they realize, yeah.. but that neurosurgeon isn't "stupid", they are ignorant.

  • They'll vote the way they are told to by the companies owned by the people who's interests don't line up with theirs.

    We say they are stupid, but the news tells them what to think, it agrees with everything their friends are saying because they watch the same news, and it isn't likely they are going to suddenly say something that is against all of the people around them.

    Parties are a terrible way to do democracy.

  • I agree that they mostly voted for it. But it sucks to cheer for people to suffer because they were swindled.

  • Except the jobs of those people more than likely... Meaning the town will suffer depending on its size.

    Edit: the population of Clermont KY is 478 according to a quick search.

    So the town may just die

  • I use Krogers delivery sometimes now. Prices are all the same as in store, and I don't have to drive there and back. If I pick a strange time for delivery, say 2-3pm on a Tuesday, shipping is like $1.99. It would cost more in gas for me to do it myself, and if you order $200 worth of groceries, it saves a lot of time.

    There is no way they are saving money doing it, it must just be to scrape up the possibility I don't stop at ALDI because it's closer to me.

  • Don't tax income, just tax wealth. Income gets bypassed currently because by no means are stocks money, but you can borrow against them. If stocks hav value to borrow against they are wealth though

  • Newsom criticised for praising Ronald Reagan, who 'facilitated mass AIDS death'

    Jump

  • Oh I wasn't saying Newsom would be a good candidate, I was just trying to say they were likely trying the same dumb things. I haven't seen much of Newsoms policies because I don't live in California.

  • My guess is it's half same old attempts/mistakes of trying to give a bridge to a way off the MAGA ship. There are A LOT of voters who believe Reagan did good things for the economy, and his economic policy directly conflicts with MAGA's pro tariff policies.

    It's not likely to help many Republicans see things as wrong, and is very likely to make possible voters who would vote for a good Democrat candidate to question them.

  • I think one of the main things that we need is to get a group of people together to write up an actual health care plan that covers all Americans and show that it costs the same or less of what we pay now. Then drill it into everyone's heads that they are being stolen from and cheated every day of their lives by our current healthcare system.

    The people who think we have great health care options need to realize we aren't in the top 40 countries in the world for keeping a kid alive to 1 nor 5 years old.

    The number of white women are around 3x as likely to die during a pregnancy/birth than those in Canada or the UK, and the reason I say white is because black mothers are around 6x more likely to die.

    We are paying far more than anyone else in the world for healthcare and I would call the service we receive for our money absolute dog shit.

    If we could get the population to agree on that, we can say fuck the Democrats, fuck the Republicans, fuck their entire existence being to divide us and trick us into voting against our best interests, but anyone who is going to walk into congress is going to put forward the healthcare bill exactly how we wrote it with no changes or we throw every person in Congress out of the country permanently and put new members in the next day.

    "But the insurance companies" <- fuck them, they are out of business, the legislation was the permanent insurance for everyone, you don't need to pay someone every month, you are already paying it out of your taxes

  • Florida man says his wife ‘wants a divorce’ after he lost $45,000 on an AI-generated Elon Musk car scam

  • It happens to soook many people. Thousands-10s of thousands of people a day. And not all of them are complete idiots, they are just stressed out/worried about some shit in a rush and make a mistake. You get a convincing enough email/text/call whatever and they call the number listed because they are worried someone got into their account.

    Shit, I think I saw an article a couple days ago saying roughly $16 billion dollars were scammed from people in the U.S. like that in 2024 alone.

    Very often the person who got scammed realizes right away but soon as that person that remoted in presses whatever button it's done. If they aren't paying attention, that $5,000 in Apple gift cards was bought with your face ID to verify it, the activation code was grabbed from the email they delete the email and end the call. They immediately redeem the activation code on a random Apple ID they have, and it's a race to use those funds up before the person scammed realizes, gets a hold of Apple, and apple flags the purchase and freezes the account it was activated on.

    Even if all the funds are still on the Apple account and frozen... The person who got scammed won't get that money back I don't believe. Apple profits from that purchase, why would they want to lose that sale. People buy Uber and other such gift cards as well. And not much is done to stop all these people getting scammed

  • Trump unleashes vicious attack on Rob Reiner just hours after shocking death

  • Id like to look that up but I don't think it is enough to go off of. Do you know anyone who was on the show or what show it was? Maybe even just the channel might help. Searching Trump fake numbers basically returns the result: yeah

    Best Phone I've Ever Had

  • I'm hoping for a small handheld unit that has cellular. As someone who doesn't use Nintendo usually, basically a mini-switch2 with cellular that I can install my own os (maybe steam is, not sure yet) I won't love it

    Edit: mobile is only mobile if you can walk with it, if it doesn't have cellular, it's a cordless phone. (Maybe I'm old, but cordless phones can't leave the living space and work)

    Best Phone I've Ever Had

  • I had my LG Rumor2 at that time, but that was just me. It fell out of my pocket going 45mph on a highway, survived... I opened a cooler at Sam's club and the moisture made the screen no longer flip and die. It was sad, but I enjoyed every phone I've had... Each has their pink sun glasses. But I must say... Never have I sat a flagship on the shelf and just used a phone with a cracked screen that is only 1/5 the price till now. I spent to much time focused on what features were, and the last year I have learned what use is like. I see 0 reason to use the pixel 9 pro, when it maybe runs laps supposedly around this. I had to change settings to make my spouse (Samsung 24 user) even able to think that phone was usable. (She doesn't want gestures, there are no dock buttons by default).

    Force quitting an app is like figuring out thermodynamics... As someone who studied thermodynamics. Rediulous

  • Probably, my questions would pertian to what wealth could you get a majority of the population to agree on taxing, and how much.

    It's easy to say "I think we should put in wealth taxes" it's hard to get people to agree that above $x dollars and for y% is what would be needed. Many Democrats would agree on wealth tax of 10% over $300 million. A lot of progressives would say that is far to little and to high starting entry, but if you shift those numbers lower/higher you would lose chunks of the population agreeing, and ultimately destroy the possibility of it being started. Which to be honest getting it instituted first, then modifying it seems like the easier thing to do, than launch i high enough tax to fix the issues up front. You'll lose all the corporate democracts, and essentially have 25% voting for it at that point.. making it a dead end

  • Hopefully it'll shit itself eventually, until that day, it's like living in the hate musk thread. Guys shit, will never have the warmth or depth to be a cunt, but really I don't need to hear about the fucker every day.

    Edit: To add to that. Since this account was created, the man has amounted more wealth than the lower 50% of the U.S. owns combined. ~200 to ~500 billion. Yet we are worried why we can't afford a fucking dinner for the family, and skipping lunch
