Columbus (Colombo) was a cog in the wheel of the machine that was the Spanish Empire - possibly the most efficient, ruthless, and corrupt empire to ever have existed. It's illustrative that he never landed on mainland America.
I do feel he's unfairly lambasted in history. If it

Just came back from Ohio. Plus side: lots of water and vegetation, love Lake Erie, humidity makes my skin and nose rejoice, my host had upscale house in nice area. Minus side: republican hell, meth and fentanyl central

Like it's made by someone in beginning Microsoft Paint. Looks horrible. Made up, just like the entire ridiculous acronym it represents.

That's absolutely correct. He's still on the clock and his scanner measures his every step and how long he takes. Man was keeping his job.
@TrashPandaGirl
By tying healthcare to employment, the corporate lobby has us stuck in jobs we have "for the insurance". By disconnecting this, people can change jobs w/o risking health coverage. That's "bad for business". Add for profit helathcare and health insurers, and you have the "why".

A lot of these employers still think $12-$14/hr is going to give them workers who care about the outcome. There's a tipping point at $18-$20/hr in my area. If you offer that, you'll have more applicants than you can handle.

Hi there! I post a lot of MAGA 1A 2A with some sarcasm. I like cigars and some sportsball too. Let's elect Trump in November! I will follow back but have had limits from X, so be patient please!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲💥

How true. The US Democratic Party would be a mainstream right party in Europe, such as the CDU of Germany. The US has no political home for those left of (true) center. Thank you for listening.

Ask Sweden how well their Syrian immigrants are doing. Sweden is now the Number One homicide country in Europe. Ahead of Croatia!

Thank you for pointing out class as the ultimate divider. The dude with that comment thinks about sex 99% of the time is what I'm reading.

I saw this coming right as it was introduced 30 years ago. Either you have a fully funded public education system OR you get a patch work where private entities gradually erode everything. "Education vouchers"? Really?
Before you self diagnose with depression, anxiety, or anti social tendencies - determine first if you are not, in fact, living under End Stage Capitalism.

As little as 3% of a population can set in motion events that will snowball and cause the widespread failure of a society.
Not talking about the 1% (or so) that "already did that".
I have a little over 1,000 surplus that I follow above what my follower count is. I'm gonna cull that by half in the next few days. A little less Mr Nice Guy 🤣🇺🇲🎃

Taxes pay a small fraction of the USG, but they will have us believe it's not so. Most is paid for by selling Treasury bonds to, among others, foreign governments like China, who is the single largest buyer of US T bonds. So yes, income tax is 100% about control.

People making less money are low hanging fruit. Can't afford lawyers to appeal and stall the process. They'll just pay (=have their pay garnished)

That's it. Poverty shortens your life. The constant stress and worry. The multiple jobs.
And then to be yelled at about means testing and drug testing. This country is just rancid.
If you are a conservative who's voting Trump, who wants to Make America Great Again, who's sick of liberal "values" destroying this country, then I want to follow you!
I follow back!

In two minutes he displayed more insight, more humanity, than any US president has ever mustered. Possible exception Lincoln. I know, I know...
Every couple of weeks, I'm going through my follows not matched by a follow. I can only ask nicely. Look, I get it that if you have 1M followers, you can ignore some issues. BUT large or small accounts are unfollowed and blocked. Your shit smells the same as ours, cupcake.

Also visa restrictions. If I were a foreign country I'd sure as heck limit the flow of Americans coming in. We're literally cancer on legs to the world now.

Meanwhile, US has had a nationwide spy program on us citizens for over a decade.
Supporters: we have nothing to hide
Me: that is not the point
