I am without a doubt way more "educated" than you are, like that counts for anything. California is a fucking third world shit hole for anyone who isn't incredibly rich, and if you think otherwise you are either one of those dishonest and or rich people or have not bothered visiting Cali and looking outside a gated community.


Wow, you have a PhD? That's really impressive!

I live in California and you're right that it's 3rd world in a lot of ways. We have a really strong upper middle class and everyone else suffers because of us. I just spent $45 on lunch and this poor delivery guy had to sit in LA traffic just to get it to me. These Postmates people are effectively my servants and they bust their ass trying to make it.

But hey, I'd rather be here than anywhere else in America. I don't think my life would be as good in other states (Hawaii is a bit too slow paced for me).

make germany great again?


i mean, obviously we have our own fair share of problems. inequality, wages, and employment are issues here as well, but if you compare it with american standards, there is no question that healthy and strong economies can do significantly better for the average worker.

oh right, the good old 'if you tax millionaires they will just leave the country, if you hold corporations to a minimal standard, they will just automate or leave' tale. sure, that's why other strong economies (like the german for example) are similarly unequal and devoid of worker protections, why we also have to work 2-3 jobs just to earn a living wage... oh wait!

sorry to break it to you, but those are bullshit claims to explain to you why you just have to 'live with it', and unfortunately you seem to have uncritically accepted that.


apples taste different that oranges. you have 100 years of worker protections built into your economy, mainly based on a meta of corporations willing to make less profit % because they have less pressure from the stock market.

but sure, keep banging that drum. it will only make me hundreds of thousands of dollars while a recession happens and people lose homes in a country you dont live in that doesnt affect you.

i hate to break it to you but i sit in meetings with fortune 500 companies that already have plans to layoff 30-50% of their workforce over the next 10-20 years. this is what i do every day. what do you think forcing them to guarantee a more safe workplace and forcing them to divert profits to employees will do? slow this down? you're just used to using that "bullshit claims" against right wingers that are working on theories apologizing for billionaires from Tucker Carlson. im working on what i do literally every day with info behind nondisclosure agreements.

i find it funny that im acting as an alarmist against an industry that i make piles of money from, and yet people still dont take my warnings seriously. so go ahead, put that fire out with gas. ill make money either way and i'll keep on acting morally to help people rather than emotionally to back up my side of the political aisle's narratives.

if you want me to prove it to you name some worker protection measures you think need to be put into place that you also dont feel will result in the jobs being automated rather than made better. and i can provide you with industry and even machine specific info on when that was tried and how it failed.

Jesus vs Trump


Jesus would be a great vice president of america. make religion great again
but the #1 rule in politics and in life is the question, "what have you done for me lately?"
but i think it not possible for jesus to become vice president
because trump is the second coming of christ
sent directly by god 2000 years later to battle islam
in Trump We Trust.

Yeah what is that guy gonna do, wave his magic wand and bring all the jobs back!?

to be fair should probably just bomb California and GDP could be rocking 5-6% on morale boost alone.



California is the only reason GDP is as high as it is. Bombing the red states would realistically boost GDP.
