Amazing to describe a bunch of Asians and Indians making $300K+ at Amazon and Microsoft as “incapable of maintaining American civilization.”
Aside from Bezos, Nadella has probably done more than anyone for property values in Seattle in the last 10 years.
The homeless are definitely a problem but it’s more fixable than this mindset of racial division that both you and the DEI people preach.

Your point about being held hostage by a relatively small number is so spot on and is what drives me the most nuts about the homeless situation. There really are not that many problem homeless people out there as a % of the population. If we could just figure out a solution for the very worst hundred to a thousand that would make a massive difference.

I always heard teenage boys were the biggest driver of movie theater ticket sales. The juggernauts of MCU and fast and the furious franchise would certainly point in that direction.

If the Greeks had full employment for years I bet they would have had recruitment problems as well. The military is a job and right now competing jobs are looking more attractive.

If gay marriage was seriously threatened/thrown out by SCOTUS I could see an amendment passing to ensure certain states don’t try and ban it.

If Canada wants CoL to go down they should prioritize building a ton more housing. Seems like a very simple solution, but existing homeowners are a powerful bloc.
Not sure if Canada’s zoning problems are similar to the US but it legit takes years to get projects approved here. Certainly a big driver of lower housing supply.

Very curious who he will borrow from to pay. My guess would be Arab oil money, but I’m not sure how broad the definition of “registered in New York” is.

Lee fought against America and the statue was put up 60 years after the end of the civil war.
Also very confusing to me how you see Robert E Lee as an American but a statue for “black people” is for foreigners? Calling this a step to genocide is baffling beyond belief.

The red tribe still has significant political power. Especially in state legislatures where they are not afraid to flex their power to do things like ban abortion.

Absolutely, Biden won 25 states. To get to 38 you add in IN OH MO KS IA NE TX FL NV NC TN KY AK and those are just the easiest ones. I honestly think it would pass easily. Is there serious opposition to gay marriage left in America?

I feel like attacking polling methodology is a pretty bipartisan pastime and isn’t surprising at all to me that it’s happening in the comments section.
We had multiple threads on here with challenges to official inflation data so unsure why polling wouldn’t be challenged.
Ignoring the racism it’s interesting you consider literal traitors to America to be worthy of statues. Lee didn’t “consider himself to be apart of the same nation” if you recall a rather significant event in his history.

He was in a senior leadership position. This wasn’t some rank and file conscript grunt just following orders.
IMO it’s even worse that he could have chosen the Union but decided to fight to keep race based slavery alive as an institution in his home state. The man is the opposite of an American hero.

Which of those states do you think wouldn’t pass it? Gay marriage has over 70% support nationally and it seems to me there is no organized opposition to it. This is all a hypothetical exercise but I think it would pass fairly easily.

I feel like military service for citizenship isn’t a bad trade at all. Presumably the military is a strong enough insinuation to integrate all types of people. Additionally, someone willing to spend years in the military is likely someone we would want to keep in the country.

I’d imagine Tinky Winky was balanced out by Budweiser ads.
If I had to guess the boys who grew up gay did it because they were sexually attracted to men. Representation in media may make them more comfortable to “come out” and live as openly gay, but personally doubt it impacts their sexual preference.

Honestly the donors probably love this. Anything to paint the other side as anti gay bigots likely plays well.

Ugh, I know “Twitter isn’t real life” is commonly used to refer to liberals but this feels very much like a “Twitter isn’t real life” moment for republicans. Total waste of time.

It kills me that the fake outrage from Alden’s song worked. This reminds me of when GTA got blamed for all kinds of violence. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the song was explicitly written in the hope of gaining outrage to get press.

While I love a good bashing of smug Europeans I do think comparing the two land masses as a whole doesn’t make a ton of sense. IMO you need to get to the level of comparing finance employees in NYC vs London or a tech employee in Berlin vs SF.
The variety of people/lifestyles in both places is so vast that comparing averages doesn’t do it justice.
For example most of the European complaints about the US (healthcare, crime, weight generally speaking, food quality, no PTO) simply don’t apply if you are a high earner/have wealth. I’d imagine there are similar blind spots about Europe that Americans miss when comparing averages.

Allowing individuals to built multi family on their private property is hardly demanding someone builds a house.
Happy for you that you have no desire to leave the land of your ancestors but many people do and we should have land use policies that allow for building.

I actually think the gender split is how the ideologues convinced the capitalists to buy into the change in direction. If you already dominate 50% of the market with the boys then the best path for growth could be to go after the girls. Obviously the risk with this is you don’t get the girls and alienate the boys. Bud light is the best recent example of this strategy backfiring spectacularly.

The best thing that could happen to that song is it gets “canceled” and gets publicity that way because even by pop country standards it is awful. Whole thing feels like a fake controversy.
Interesting side note Alden was the artist on stage when the Vegas shooting happened.
I think this is tying things into a conspiracy that doesn’t exist.
Bud Light had an advertising campaign aimed at growing their audience (tik tok liberal teenagers) blow up in their face. They then spent a ton of money to try to win back their core audience (young white men). Seems like normal course of business.
Brett Favre (and tons of other celebrities) has appeared in pharma ads. Kelce being in one is hardly surprising.
Neither of these seem at all conspiratorial to me and don’t relate to Trump.
