So not so dumb, basically.

Rome was indeed the GOAT until USA showed up IMO.

Made English the first ever global language, never has any wars inside itself (no one dares attack), its currency is global, its brands are global, etc.

The British Empire says hi.

The British Empire says hi.

At the time of the British Empire the fight was still on between the English, French and Spanish languages for the global dominance.
USA cemented the language's status.

2021 either ey lol I'm an 1980 baby so it hit home

Haha! A little close to home!

It is a means of manipulation. The modern intellectualism we see in this country is really "wokeness", which is driven largely by social media and media in general. They should create a Social Dilemma 2.0 that focuses on political manipulation. If you're a slave to social media, it's much easier to make you a slave to a certain line of thinking, whether it be political or other matters.

I see that less as social manipulation and more social gaming and performative politics. It's phoning it in to show off to your friends, doing-it-for-the-Gram-style. How to make zero real impact, but put on a show that you are so that you don't have to do any of the hard work. AKA Slacktivism.

I would say that there is a lot of government spending that might as well go towards combating fictitious lizard people, especially as much of it is a black hole that leads to nowhere. So what's the difference. If we could vote on where exactly our tax dollars are spent, it would be nice. But most likely your tax dollars went towards blowing up some Iraqis or paying a stipend to a congressional clerk to push papers at the capitol all day and give Republican senators a handjob at lunch.

And again, Trump never said "go to the capitol and kill Nancy Pelosi. These are orders."

In a strange way, I am more comfortable knowing that my tax money (and I still pay US taxes for realz) is being wasted on Chris Christie's bariatric prostitutes than lizard men. Because at least with the former there's still a chance that some good could come out of that black hole.

Bariatric prostitutes gotta feed themselves.

Damn right they didn't

Hopefully he waits until after he votes yes to impeach the orange baboon.

America is so doomed

It seems to have started during Clinton's term. Ever since then, I've noticed that the time between a new president taking office and the appearance of car bumper stickers demanding his impeachment have been narrowing with every election. Looks like we're now down to less than 24 hours:

It probably would have been negative time -- before Biden takes office -- if only Republicans could first acknowledge him as the legitimate president.

What kind of retard covers their car in bumper stickers anyway.

My car is too nice for bumper stickers. I only have one its a motocross one and it covers up the spot where someone hit my car and left a tiny dent.

Can we have trial by combat between Trump and Giuliani on the 19th? Fight to the death. Should last about a minute.

$15 minimum wage is going to destroy small businesses in my area. I mean, they're already struggling because of the pandemic, and this fucking moron wants to take their business and send it to the corporations which are moving more towards automation. Someone impeach this stupid motherfucker already.

 

[Post Ironic]

Yeah. People should work full-time for below poverty level wages! Dat dere Murican GOP logic!

 

[Bjerknes]

Better than being laid off because your business can no longer afford to employ you because of government regulation.

 

[Post Ironic]

Yeah. We should really have people working 40hrs a week and making less than living wages, impoverished. Murican dream right there!

Businesses unable to pay people living wages are shit businesses.

So you think restaurants are shit businesses?

Lol. Good logic, cupcake. Servers/waitresses make living wages thanks to tipping culture. Places can have different minimum wage for servers/waitresses due to this. We do here. We also have a lower minimum wage for adolescents working their first several hundred hours in a job. These things are alright. Paying adults working full time (without income supplements such as tips) below poverty line wages isn’t alright no matter which way you slice it, and arguing in favour of it is remarkably dumb.

But go on, tell us about the great American dream of working full time for poverty level wages.

Restaurants will have to compensate for the higher minimum wage. Which means they will either layoff a server or two or increase prices on the consumer. For my area, the minimum wage hike would be a 66% increase seemingly overnight. Increasing menu prices in this environment probably doesn't make any sense, so they may opt to layoff a server, which means quality goes down. For other small businesses, they will definitely layoff folks as they can probably swing it with limited staff. So you have a higher unemployment rate, which is one of the unintended consequences of a gobernment artificial price floor. This might not make a difference for certain parts of the country, but it will for mine and I don't want to see the businesses I support go under.
