  1. So you do want the gov to mandate mcd workers get paid a ton more. You have to have an opinion on the matter.
  2. Pretty cool non answer. Your politics tell me you defo want McDonald’s burger dudes to make 15-20-25+$ or more per hour. Would you agree that you are not for the government mandating paying fast food workers a ton more?
  3. That 100b question (above) and the way they are hiding fraud awaits you boss. Please answer. If you purposefully don’t add the metadata where the $ goes how do you track it. It’s possible why none of these jokers pass audits and can’t figure out where the $ went.
  4. Which is it boss? Liberals argue that raising the minimum wage is essential because people need a living wage, (insert blue hair Portland people yelling here)………… yet they insist that doing so won’t increase prices for businesses like McDonald's. But when automakers like Honda move jobs from Mexico to Indiana—paying American workers more—suddenly, we’re told car prices must go up. Hmmmmmm…. Have that cake and eat it too? So which is it? If raising wages for burger flippers doesn’t make a Big Mac more expensive, why does raising wages for auto workers make a Honda $pricier? You can’t have it both ways. At this point, making sense of this logic is like trying to satisfy a crazy bi polar woman—I keep putting in the effort, but somehow, I’m the one getting screwed.
  5. Liberals would have to agree they don’t want illegals coming here In droves. Most don’t sadly.
  6. Biden gaffs 3883882477557 trumps 1 I won’t comment on this any more here as this is one of the wrestling forums….. make sure you read that Jake tapper book though New book on Biden by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson reports a ‘cover-up’ about his mental decline https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/26/media/joe-biden-book-jake-tapper-alex-thompson
  7. Nancy pelosi ‘s insider trading fund It does quite well I think she’s #1 on that insider list fwiw The Unusual Whales Subversive Democratic Trading ETF (ticker: NANC) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the stock trades of U.S. Democratic politicians. The fund is designed to mirror the securities purchased and sold by Democratic members of Congress, based on publicly available financial disclosures. Key Points: Launched by Unusual Whales & Subversive ETFs: Unusual Whales, a platform known for tracking politicians' trades, collaborated with Subversive Capital to create the ETF. Trading Strategy: It invests in stocks that Democratic lawmakers and their families have recently bought, under the assumption that these politicians may have insight into market trends or regulatory changes. Companion ETF: There's a similar ETF for Republican politicians' trades called KRUZ (BATS: KRUZ). Listed on BATS Exchange: The ETF is traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange. Essentially, NANC is a politically themed ETF that aims to capitalize on the stock picks of Democratic politicians, providing an investment strategy based on their disclosed financial moves.
  8. Will it include nanc? #1 is a big deal no?
  9. I was not. Does it seem like I was? also. If you think anyone really red that predictable mess of TLDR; you’re probably a bit confused.
  10. Plagiarism is the lowest form of intelligence. His copy paste skills are top notch though.
  11. Is this one reason why it is hard to find / track corruption. It’s been set up to be corrupt. What say you @Tripnsweep @red viking 100b of this.
  12. I remember when I was a kid hair spray was going to ruin the ozone and we would all burn to death. Acid rain was a big thing. I did my science project on it. Spoiler alert if you water a plant with only orange juice it will die. In 1968, with world population at 3.5 billion (7.9 billion as of 2023), Erlich penned The Population Bomb and lobbed an incendiary grenade in the opening lines of his prologue: The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate… Lauded by the press, Erlich amplified insistence on a “dying planet” and ramped up his warnings. August 10, 1969, Erlich in the New York Times: “We must realize that unless we are extremely lucky, everybody will disappear in a cloud of blue steam in 20 years.” April 1970, Erlich in Mademoiselle: “Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.” Erlich was not alone. In the early 1970s, a host of voices supported his beliefs. Harvard biologist and Nobel Prize winner George Wald, speaking at the University of Rhode Island in November 1970: “Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.” Dennis Hayes, key organizer of Earth Day, in The Living Wilderness, Spring 1970: “It is already too late to avoid mass starvation.” Kenneth Watt, UC Davis ecologist: “At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.” Next up, the Ice Age cometh. Big Cold In 1970, as greenhouse theorists pushed a rise in average temperature, plenty of prognosticators asserted a big freeze. Kenneth Watt sounded the ice alarm, speaking in Pennsylvania at Swarthmore College: “The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but 11 degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.” Also in 1970, the Boston Globe ran with a chilling headline, “Scientist Predicts A New Ice Age By 21stCentury.” In the associated article, researcher James Lodge warned, “Air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the first third of the next century if population continues to grow and earth’s resources are consumed at the present rate…” The Guardian, Jan. 29, 1974, echoed the Globe: “Spy Satellites Show New Ice Age is Coming Fast.” Time joined the cooling trend June 22, 1974: “Telltale signs are everywhere, from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest. Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7 F.” Newsweek weighed in on April 28, 1975, warning that global cooling would significantly impact agriculture. “There are ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production…” “The central fact is that after three quarters of a century of extraordinarily mild conditions, the Earth’s climate seems to be cooling down,” the Newsweekarticle continued. “Meteorologists disagree about the cause and extent of the cooling trend, as well as over its specific impact on local weather conditions. But they are almost unanimous in the view that the trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century. If the climatic change is as profound as some of the pessimists fear, the resulting famines could be catastrophic.” Following Newsweek, the New York Times piped in on July 18, 1976, with additional gloom on agriculture’s demise attributed to global cooling. “… the news for the future is not all good. The climate is going to get unreliable. It is going to get cold. Harvest failures and regional famines will be more frequent. Weather will probably make history—again.” “The relationship of global climate to food supplies is a case in point: climatic researchers are becoming alarmed that in the next 10 to 100 years humanity will be unable to feed itself—not through technological insufficiency or political mischief—but because of climatic changes that it can barely understand or control.” Even in 1978, global cooling was a “No End” fact, according to another New York Times article: “An international team of specialists has concluded from eight indexes of climate that there is no end in sight to the cooling trend of the last 30 years, at least in the Northern Hemisphere.” However, just a year after the global cooling article, the New York Times predicted catastrophe via global warming in a February 1979 story: “Climatologists Are Warned North Pole Might Melt,” featuring a jarring opening paragraph: “There is a real possibility that some people now in their infancy will live to a time when the ice at the North Pole will have melted, a change that would cause swift and perhaps catastrophic changes in climate.” It was the end of the 1970s and big cold failed to arrive. Bring on big heat. Baking and Burning Acid rain concerns kicked off the 1980s, but generally were replaced late in the decade with a flood of headlines on heat, greenhouse effect, and sea levels. In 1982, Mostafa Tolba, executive director of the UN’s Environment Program, pointed to the possibility of widespread devastation in less than 20 years. He cited “an environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible as any nuclear holocaust.” On June 30, 1989, the Associated Press squeezed decimation into a tight, 11-year window, with an ominous article, “Rising Seas “Could” Obliterate Nations,” containing a jaw-dropping opener: “A senior UN environmental official (Noel Brown) says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.” In 1990, aware the apocalypse was stalled, Mostafa Tolba, doubled down: “We shall win or lose the climate struggle in the first years of the 1990s. The issue is as urgent as that.” In February 1993, Thomas Lovejoy, assistant secretary for Environmental and External Affairs at the Smithsonian Institution, stressed the world had one remaining decade of opportunity to avoid calamity. “I am utterly convinced that most of the great environmental struggles will be either won or lost in the 1990s and by the next century it will be too late.” The 1990s was a steady chain of doomsday assurances, but the heaviest hyperbole was yet to be unleashed. Cannibals, Toast, and Chaos In 2006, former vice-president Al Gore projected that unless drastic measures were implemented, the planet would hit an irreversible “point of no return” by 2016. Game over. Rajendra Pachauri, head of the UN Climate Panel, one-upped Gore in 2007, insisting 2012 was the year of irreversibility. “If there is no action before 2012, that’s too late. What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment.” In April 2008, media mogul Ted Turner provided far more detail than either Gore or Pachauri, emphasizing the consequences of climate inaction. “Not doing it will be catastrophic. We’ll be eight degrees hotter in ten, not 10 but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals. Civilization will have broken down. The few people left will be living in a failed state like Somalia or Sudan, and living conditions will be intolerable. The droughts will be so bad there’ll be no more corn growing.” The acclaimed godfather of global warming, James Hansen, drew a line in the sand testifying before Congress in June 2008, on the dangers of greenhouse gases: “We’re toast if we don’t get on a very different path. This is the last chance.” A year later, in July 2009, then-Prince Charles chimed in, asserting the planet had 96 months to avoid decimation: “…irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it.” Only three months later, UK prime minister Gordon Brown urged nations to pull a historical handbrake ahead of a climate conference: “There are now fewer than 50 days to set the course of the next 50 years and more. If we do not reach a deal at this time, let us be in no doubt: once the damage from unchecked emissions growth is done, no retrospective global agreement, in some future period, can undo that choice. By then, it will be irretrievably too late.” In 2014, French foreign minister Laurent Fabius upped Brown’s 50 days to 500. “We have 500 days to avoid climate chaos.” Twelve years to 2031. In January 2019, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez put her chips on 2031 as the potential end of days. “Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like: ‘The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it? And, like, this is the war—this is our World War ll.” Eleven years to 2030. Echoing Ocasio-Cortez in March 2019, but shaving off a year, UN General Assembly President Maria Garces declared an 11-year window to escape catastrophe: “We are the last generation that can prevent irreparable damage to our planet.” In June 2019, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden threw his support behind Ocasio-Cortez’s dozen-year projection: “Science tells us that how we act or fail to act in the next 12 years will determine the very livability of our planet.” Full circle back to 2023, and the UN’s latest “time-bomb,” released March 20, as described by the Associated Press: “Humanity still has a chance close to the last to prevent the worst of climate change’s future harms…” In step with near annual UN declarations from the past 50 years, Secretary-General Guterresonce again sounded the alarm: “The climate time-bomb is ticking.” But therein lies the beauty of doomsday predictions: When one fails, make another.
  13. Those Clinton’s have a tad bit more power than you think I bet.
  14. Damn. The Clinton’s are hardly even corrupt. Did you smoke a cigar while outside without your phone?
  15. Now you’re just trolling. No one really trusts the government bro.
  16. And somehow …. They lost to the worst Hitler fascist maniac ever who was going to take their right to vote away and literally end democracy. How do you lose to someone who will end democracy and rake your right to vote away. it’s almost like the American public doesn’t trust their narratives any more. #Weird All the while Kamalalalala got 7 million less votes vs the dude who was ending democracy. I don’t know if Shakespeare could write this comedy lol.
  17. @Tripnsweep is this what it is like when y’all see Trump do something? Is Trump your “olives?” Is Trump a green olive and musk is a black olive?
  18. The screaming in your head that goes on day by day must be maddening. I can’t Imagine hating something or someone so much. It has to hurt.
  19. Run a better candidate next time and stop crying in your Cheerios.
  20. The waste in Cali needs its own Label. How much should a toilet cost? Spoiler alert. Newsome did not stop funding it got built San Francisco's $1.7m plan to make a single public toilet could be flushed down the drain as Gavin Newsom threatens to block funding after public outrage - as he denies presidential ambitions and promises to finish four-year term https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11347495/amp/San-Franciscos-1-7m-plan-make-single-public-toilet-flushed-drain.html
  21. your a delusional fellow. You must love paying extra taxes for nonsense.
  22. I couldn’t give 10 flying farks about that. My tax dollars don’t pay their salary. My tax dollars pay for federal state and local government corruption…..
  23. Also. I’ve send this a half dozen times. Doge needs to exist down in state and local government too. Rife with corruption.
