I'd just like to thank everyone for doing their part, posting, reposting, and fear mongering it.

Excellent opportunity for sabotage.

I personally don't see that as liberation. It's right up there with rainbow capitalism.

“the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.”

Just marriage honesty.

I have zero idea or understanding why any queer couple wants to metaphorically cosplay as squares.

Ben Franklin wanted the Turkey. I'm with him.

Heteronormativity

Some of that is due to patriarchal values (women can't harm men) which lowers reporting and those receiving reports not taking them seriously.

Some of it is due to disparity between it being committed by women for the first reason.

There are crimes that are wildly disparate by gender. Baby napping for instance is almost exclusively committed by women. And even when u find a case committed by a male, it's nearly universal that a woman put him up to it. It seems to be correlated to post partum depression.

The coverage the fire department provides is affordable. And my Library. And my streets. And the storm water system. And K-12.

Mmmmm... I haven't read the article but I suspect it's not true when factoring the Harding administration and inflation.

Might need to exclude Musk, but I bet it's not far off.

The saving grace is that our federal government relies HEAVILY on state workers and agencies.

A lot of states can simply say no, or "yeah, we'll get around to it."

It's on the same level as loan sharking

Little camps for homework. Where you can concentrate.

But as OP pointed out, the story is now the public reaction to the assassination.

And I can't stress this enough. In previous times, the media would not have been covering the public reaction. It's actually remarkable they're giving it the attention it deserves.

**This is due to the near unanimity of it;

That we are in an era where nearly all Americans do not trust institutions (haven't been here since Watergate);

And that the establishment (media, corporations, the political class) were caught off guard by the public's reaction.**

The right doesn't analyze any of this fully. They just realize the reality of public opinion is easy to game in order to seize power. And were ahead of everyone in realizing we're already here.

The liberals weren't aware things are where they are, and seek to understand it better, but only with the goal of fixing the unfixable. Maintaining capitalism.

The left i think expected things to get here but maybe didn't realize things already were here. And now are left scrambling to organize, unprepared to take advantage of public sentiment in order to move forward with any type of equitable future.

It's not a good place to be. It could be good in the long run, but it might be worse considering where the chess pieces are.

The case raises questions about executive security,

Of course this is the lesson. Not that everyone hates you, your company, the business, etc. It's not our actions. We just need security.

I agree. I was challenging OP's offence to the attitudes expressed.

It's stereotypical liberalism. One that says we can vocally criticize a private institution but not actually act against it. And we must deplore any actions against that private institution.

Go out and be the change you wanna see! 😂

This could be you!

Conservatives have been wanting and trying to dismantle the SS since its inception.

I'm not that concerned just yet. There's a reason it's called the third rail of politics.

If I had to bet on the future outcome, they'll raise the contribution cap to around $300k, maybe cut benefits a bit, fixing the solvency problem for at least a generation or two.

I'd also bet on an immigration deal in a future administration. Getting more workers/contributors into the system.

It honestly wouldn't shock me if the Trump admin pivoted to amnesty just like Reagan. He's a lame duck from day one. He's not beholden to anything from the campaign trail. If he's gotta choose the adoration of his voter base vs the donor base, he'll choose the wealthy. He hates being excluded from the elites. You can't buy class. But you can be invited to their parties, their clubs, their scene. His working class base has nothing left to offer him.
