We might need a thread for US Elections to collect all the hilarious stuff

Trump...

I suddenly have a picture of all the Republican candidates emerging from a tiny car.

Oh that's good...

Democrats too, Hustini. Democrats too.

Democrats don't have anyone of Chris Christie's dimensions to really make the scene work, though, do they?

 

[swag]

Thank god for HDTV adoption -- now a Republican debate won't look like it's only Chris Christie.

 

[icemaη]

What do you think of Jeb swag?

 

[swag]

I'd like him better if he wasn't a Bush. That'd be like having three Clintons in the White House in my lifetime (which also could happen).

what is this to do with immigrants? this was at a taxi strike, a strike being as indigenous to france as brie cheese

The strike is ridiculous though, and the government's decision to ban Uber service is even more ridiculous.

it is not.

taxi drivers pay 160€ a day for their license.

uber drivers pay nothing.

i completely understand it...of course they should not act like idiots though.

It's called a good idea. If I were a taxi driver I'd just sign up on uber and stop paying for the license.

USA

capitalism

whatever it is.
it is against the law.

 

[lgorTudor]

Is it true that American citizens can't actually elect the President? They vote intermediate electors who pledge to vote for a particular presidential candidate but the electors are not bound by law to follow their pledge. An elector who pledged to vote for Hillary might lolgtfo and vote Jeb Bush and it would be legal

I heard legends but I could never believe that the most democratic and free country wouldn't let their citizens elect a president

It's a genius and extremely efficient business model and it's really stupid to go on a strike against that. I want the service that I get to be as fast and cheap as possible, Uber gives me that. If governments had banned every smart superior idea to support the inefficient inferior ones, most of what we are conveniently using today wouldn't have existed.

 

[lgorTudor]

uber are ripping off their drivers, there is nothing superior in that unless you are uber CEO.

But I agree, going on strike is stupid considering the classic taxi drivers have far far better conditions. In Germany at least

it is not.
