He will get forced out before anything gets too bad. There’s way too much money involved in many of the things he wants to change for corporations to just take it.

If the vice president can’t be the figurehead of a taskforce in a friendly administration for an important campaign issue, they aren’t qualified to be president.

That’s how live service games work. The vast majority don’t make money. It’s a go viral or die market.

It wasn’t just not validating, Trump was allowed to just promise no taxes on tips or overtime without getting called out on blatant false promises. Harris just went me too on that.

This message fell flat. She’s the vice president, the message should have been I’m working with the AG now to investigate price to gouging, and will continue that when elected. Also the end result is just the government getting a small settlement check, that means fuck all to people.

Maybe one day enough younger people will be in elected that understand computers aren’t magic. There’s no fundamental difference between selling a DVD and a digital movie, from a legal perspective.

An even older candidate would have absolutely lost in 24. He may have won in 16, but more likely he loses but gets a bigger share of the popular vote than Hilary did.

There hasn’t been peace in the middle east in what 1-2 thousand years? I highly doubt a president was ever changing that unless they nuke the whole thing.

But think of your sense of accomplishment in getting the legendary ending.

Three felonies a day is 15 years old and only more true than ever.

I’d hesitate to give him that much blame, as Harris could have ran a campaign that more aggressively separated herself from the administration, or one that campaigned for things instead of against Trump. She deserves an equal or greater amount of the blame.

Is it? He single handedly tanked the opportunity to find a strong Democrat candidate through a primary. After being forced out he repeatedly made comments that saddled Harris with his baggage.

He’s not 100% to blame, but no one is. He is probably about 30-40% of the problem though.

It’s easier when you’re a fascist that only relinquished power when the mob was at the door.

No I don’t think personalized news feeds really factor into it. The common narrative is directly opposite the lived experience of 18-21 year olds.

Women graduate highschool more, attend college more, graduate college more, and earn more. Despite all that the narrative is still women need more help because men are holding them down.

Pensions are protected from bankruptcy, but they aren’t guaranteed the same payment. There are maximum payments and it’s complicated to give an accurate number, because it depends on the type of pension plan, the age of retirement, years of service, and generally doesn’t honor bonuses like early buyouts.

Pensions have a number of multipliers that make job hopping less ideal. The formula is roughly percentVested x accrualRate x yearsOfService x maxSalary. Vesting hits 100% at 5-7 years, accrual is roughly 1.5% depending on employer. By leaving early you take big hits on the vesting and max salary multipliers that cause it to be a lot less money. One job for 30 year with 100k mak salary would be a 45k pension. 3 jobs, 10 years each with 50k, 75k, and 100k max salaries is only a 33,750 pension.

In this dude’s defense, Trump was the first president to not send troops into a new conflict in my lifetime.

401k is superior in almost every way though. The big downside is there isn’t a mandatory contribution. Pensions forced an employee to work in the same company for 20-30 years and hope they never got acquired or went bankrupt. Then they could retire and still hope the company never went bankrupt, because the pension funds were universally underfunded. Lots of people faced their pension being reduced by a significant amount after they’ve been retired for a decade or so.

A 401k gives the worker the power to move without jeopardizing their retirement. It allows the default death benefit to be 100% transferable to another. It’s not a surprise when a 401k runs out of money. All you have to do is fill out a form when you start a job to put a reasonable percentage into it.

I don’t understand the love for white devices. Thanks to everyone paying a premium price for an inferior color.

It happens all the time. Feminism was women’s rights until they rebranded and claim it’s for everyone. Literally can be used to mean figuratively. Inflation used to be a measure of the loss of value in a currency, now it’s just generic price increases for any reason. Racism used to be about a belief in the superiority of a race, then it got refined to only apply to a race with privilege.

Student loan relief isn’t a great message for a lot of people though. It’s a handout of 10s of Thousands of dollars to people that were able to go to college. That means fuck all to those that never had the chance. College is more expensive than ever, and nothing has been done to stop the massive increase in costs.
