Or we could go all in and choose the Greater Evil. Cthulhu 2020!

I came across an interesting project. A classic RPG story written in part by Chris Avellone comined with with souls-like approach to combat. Could be worth checking.

Yeah... that's why Trump politics lowered the number of POC on foodstamps and got the lowest unemployment rate for them while Dems are running on skin color reparations.

Hey. A quick question. How quickly would user get a warning if the post was about Democrats?

That was a double.

I think yes to both, but it would require quite a lot of cash.

The only crazy idea that would have any impact would be Michelle Obama as a 3rf party candidate. That would give president a really tough run, bevause she is popular enough to get the initial bust in polls. Other than that I don't see 3rd party doing anytging other than taking votes from Dems.

I though this was a joke, but this really happened. Joe Biden snarked at a person of color asking him a question about his policies, blurting "vote for Trump" and turned his back on the guy. And Dems have no idea why people think they are arrogant... https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/11/22/biden_to_anti-deportation_protestor_you_should_vote_for_trump.html

Here is a little longer video: President clearly asks Marsha Blackburn if they worked on this for years and she answers yes. So his wondering why this wasn't signed before is understandable. The bill might have been passed earlier. The 100th anniversary isn't this year it's next year, so if it can be signed year before, why not five? Just another example of no matter what Trump does or says it will be spinned to smear him.

Nice try... https://medium.com/@j.collins/max-blumenthal-goes-to-the-richest-parts-of-caracas-and-shows-stores-full-of-food-64eaaa1afae

The dumbest person would be the viewer that think this wasn't scripted

I thinks it's Lt. Col. Vindman to you or Ukraine Defense Minister. How often does US military get offered such positions by foreign powers?

Because men are stronger they can wear full plate and women can only carry chainmail bikini, duh.

Well, the average of 600k goes against your claim that both 400k and 100k is beyond the reach of a loan takers.

Yeah it is a socialistic in origin notion. Glad you can admit when you are wrong Which is the first thing I said about laws in Europe. Please check my previous responses. No, keep looking more. You will find My other examples. Here let me help you: So now we are getting somewhere. You never had an actual real job. Maybe when you will have one your stance will change. Now that I didn't know. I responded in general not to that specific situation. Maybe should made that clearer. Still doesn't excuse your claim about black people which I think you should apologize for as that is not something someone should say in civilized conversation. That's not what stats say, but maybe you live in are where there is a decline. I live in are where there are lots and lots of private businesses and only a few middle to big corporations so our experience can differ. https://www.finder.com/business-loan-statistics https://www.smallbizgenius.net/by-the-numbers/small-business-statistics/ https://www.become.co/blog/small-business-lending-statistics-2019/ I'm having a hard time to remember any time someone displayed a good faith when discussing my points of view. And your claim is hurtful as I always display a good faith and carefully analyze my interlocutors points.

Never said any of that. But since you are aiming at intellectual honesty it's understandable you are trying to invent a false statements I did not made. Yes you tried to state it's actual laws which it isn't. And thank you for stating what I stated in the first place. I provided an actual examples which you ignore. I think it's not the adjectives you have problem with, but the word "work". You have no idea what work is. Did you actually worked a day in your life or do you live of of someones else? It would explain your attitude towards "parasites who expolit the working people", guilt. Why do you claim all black people are slaves and cannot own anything? Is that the official moderators attitude? Lawless environment is not free market, just a fact.

Where did I say anything about commies fault? I said it was a socialist in origin idea. You trying very hard to pin things I did not say on me. Probably in the name of intellectual honesty So, it's a recommendation. The wording of a recommendation doesn't change the thing it's a recommendation. And it says "where applicable". Yes, I've worked both outside and inside when temperature was high. Nothing very special unless there is 30-35+ Celsius. But again nowhere did I say I think it shouldn't be regulated. I said AC is not basic or common, which is just a fact. Again trying to put words in my mouth in the name of intellectual honesty Oh and thank you for proving you don't read my posts, because I did mentioned exactly that there are measures to be taken over certain temperatures. Also it's not so strict laws in Spain or Germany as you claim it to be: https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/2016/07/117224/workplace-temperature-limit-around-world Oh, so in the name of intellectual honesty you claim my answer to the "path to billions" question was the answer to "is working better gives results" question. Right on. No mate. Just because you don't have certainty of achieving THE BEST result it doesn't mean you will not get BETTER results. I'm pointing you to my previous post and ACTUAL response to the "work better = better results". So what if they took less than that? EU was giving (and still is) grants left and right for starting your business which you didn't had to return even under certain conditions (usually business had to stay open for 2 years). So they took hundred thousands to a million. No, mate. In the name of intellectual honesty I must point out that lawlessness and anarchy are not free market.

I also pointed to Poland unemployment rates which you "cleverly" omitted because it doesn't fit into your fantasy. 2008 economy crash wasn't due to companies screwing their employees or crash in demand supply chain. It was a banking crisis based on the dumb socialistic in origin notion that everyone should have a house even if they cannot afford one. It was also the failure of the laws and state to just do nothing and allow institutions responsible to fall on their faces and new and better institutions rise up. Instead we got bailout schemes that allowed those institutions to still function and getting back to their old ways. And I have a feeling you were among those who cheered when those institutions got government help to "save jobs". I'm not rebutting of concept of army of unemployed, I even gave you a real life example of how that was a reality for me. It isn't a reality anymore right now thanks to a free market approach. I know what a structural unemployment is and it's an issue worth taking care of, but claiming that all unemployment is structural unemployment or that is a driving force right now is just not true. OSHA recommendations are not basic conditions. Those are as the name suggest recommendations. And I even said that's ok to fight for a better conditions, but it's still a fight for "more comfortable chair" not a fight to structurally change the job market because the employers are screwing us over. I'm a little confused how you can simultaneously claim that my stance is "go change the law" and "stick to the law", those are opposite statement. The first one is my stance, please do so and propose your demands. It's funny because you just said that the employer employee dynamics prevents employees for giving demands and then you give an example of employees doing just that. So which is it? I'm all for better working conditions, but I'm also not willing to pay 10.000$ for shipping so there have to be some place where demands face basic reality of cost efficiency of running a business and you being a know it all in all things business should know this. Depends on how you define "hard work", you yourself gave an example of slaves working in extreme conditions. So I assume you claim that "hard work" means work in extreme conditions. I don't think GD had in mind dragging tons of rocks on your back as a path to success and wealth. I think he had something more in line with putting a good effort into your job, produce results and excel at what you are doing and you will see the profit. So yeah, harder work = better result, but always in comparison to the same work done with less effort. So if you are an electrician putting more work with greater attention to detail and optimizing the electrical lines will get you more than electrician who don't, being a chef giving more time in picking the product, polishing your skills and giving more attention to details will give you more profit than a chef who just flips the pan etc. Nobody is saying that working harder as a chef will give you more money than being a CEO of Bank of America, those are not comparable positions and have different requirements and profit rates. That's life. So you will just not try because you can fail? How are you even able to get out of bed with such attitude? Nothing in life is clear, definite and reliable path. You are born and you die, everything in between have indefinite variables that affect the outcome. I don't see what you are fighting for here as socialism also don't give you clear, definite and reliable path to success but it takes away almost any opportunity. Besides the ruling class there are no winners in socialism as was proven time and time again in history. I'm taking my chances in free market in this case, sorry but not sorry. I don't think I need to give links, just walk out and go around your city you will see hundreds on businesses running and people making their lives and achieving their business success. And while we are talking free market and western countries how is Africa where the laws, values and structure hardly exist? How is western model failing based on things happening outside of it? We again come to the same arguments that capitalism is failing because people not living in capitalism are starving. It's ridiculous notion.

No mate, I live in Poland where unemployment rate is circa 5%, expected to hit below 4% next year and if I remember correctly you live in US where it's 3,6%. This is the employee market. I mean the level of struggle my current company goes through to hire a good employee is ridiculous. We needed 4 people in January, managed to get two till now. There is no one to choose from. I worked in Poland a couple of years back when the unemployment rate exceeded 20%, yes mate, over 20% unemployment. THAT was the time when there were literal labor army sitting in front of companies looking for work and the words "I have 20 guys on your place" wasn't a figure of speech, but an understatement. So if I would have to say which one of us lives in paralel universe and don't know a thing about real word I would point to you. It seem to me you live quite a comfy life under a comfy bubble. I'm sorry air condition in warehouses is somehow "basic condition" now? No, sorry, it's not. Because I'm familiar with labor laws in Europe I can tell you the most common one is heating when the temperature drops below certain temperature and the down limit of temperature you can work in. In most countries there is no upper limit of temperature it's mostly need to provide employees with water when the temperature is higher than average. So no mate, AC is not "basic" and not "common", so they are fighting for better conditions (i.e. "more comfy chair") and that's ok, but don't paint this as a fight for basic human rights. It's ridiculous and insulting to people who really are fighting for their lives. First of all you invent some statement and then accuse me of saying them. This is not a way to have conversation. Never talked about hard work, it was you. I said if you work smart, have something to offer (like valuable skill set) you will be doing fine. I never said it will give you billions or that anyone can be billionaire. I even said the opposite. You still seem to be fixated on the notion billions or bust. That's not how world or economy works. But it can be done as a quick read of billionaire list will show us, it can be done in one lifetime, no inheritance required. You also seem to have this ridiculous notion that if someone is out of work for 5 second his life would be ruined. That's not how life work. People have some money or they have friends or family that can help them get by, houses are not taken if you are late on one payment and you don't get evicted if you are late a day or two. Maybe there are some cases where you will die horrible death if you loose your job today but that must be lik 0.00000000000000001% of cases. I think you should meet more working people and not get your info from rich teens socialist social club. I was making a quick example not writing a dissertation or business plan here. I didn't forgot about anything, just given a simple example, it seems it's too complex of an idea to comprehend by some. There are literally hundred of thousands of people getting loans and starting their businesses every day around the world. 99,9999999999999% of those are not corporations and don't require billions of $ in loans. You can open a restaurant, it don't have to be multinational franchise. Poking around an example will not make your claim, that only billionaires can open a business and it's out of reach for average Joe to be anything other than Bezos minion, less ridiculous and detached from reality.
