we’re not in a left/right struggle as much as we’re in a class struggle against the billionaires.
This is just a reframing of the left/right struggle, though. The right has always been about maintaining the privileges of the ruling class since the terms were set when the Monarchists sat on the right side of the National Assembly.
A liar? In this administration??
That exam includes a 3-mile run, push-ups or pull-ups, and an abdominal plank.
I mean, that’s not much of a physical exam. Pretty much any person who isn’t physically limited in some way could achieve this level of fitness in a short time. I knew these fascists didn’t think much of women but I didn’t realize they thought they were totally physically incompetent. You really thought that women couldn’t jog for three miles? Or do a plank? haha
And then failing to realize that purpose.
Sure. I guess this falls under ‘natural experiments’ which is what David Card got his nobel for, figuring out how to test hypotheses some of the time. Now try and do peer review on that result.
The global financial crisis was a huge surprise to most economists and is basically the #1 example of the field not having any predictive power, something you generally want from a hard science.
Give me examples of economists coming up with hypotheses and then building experiments to test them.
What they said is actually totally reasonable. People (particularly economists) treat economics as though it’s a hard science akin to physics or chemistry, but it’s a soft science. They gave David Card a nobel in economics for figuring out a way to actually test hypotheses some of the time. In 2021.
Well considering that their federal government is currently being ran by an inveterate liar and his personality cult, that seems reasonable.
Yeah, of course. That’s what I’m saying. They aren’t suing for the right to be hateful. They already have that right. They are suing for the right to prevent the university from disassociating from them for being hateful. Which is to say they are suing to remove rights from those who disagree with them.
They have the right to make Nazi salutes. That’s protected by the US 1st Amendment. They will not face legal consequences for doing so. What they are suing for is taking away other people’s right to disassociate from them for making Nazi salutes.
Most likely an excuse to cover pulling more equipment/manpower from the area to throw at the failing Iran war.
Well as per usual they are giant failures because they are only managing to stoke hope.
I think that’s generous. I think the actual driving emotion behind this was Trump’s desire to feel powerful. Murdering people while knowing that their loved ones would never be able to return the favour to you seems to do that for him.
The US is literally THE example of capitalism. It’s just a shit system that leads to bad outcomes.
Those are both great policy positions, though. Fascist paramilitaries are bad for obvious reasons, and the US senate is an anti-democratic organization intended to ensure land has a veto over people.
So Trump wants us to believe that elections were fine when he won in 2016, but then got compromised under him for the 2020 election, but then Biden cleaned it up I guess so that he could fairly win the 2024 election?
Uh huh.
Or at least, this is what I want it to be and what I will tell anyone who asks did it.
Why don’t you write a DM to your president about reconsidering his trade war?
Oh, after this guy stuck his fingers in Alberta separatism, I’m loving the idea of him living in fear. May he live the rest of his (very few if Iran has its way) days that way.
