Idk man, I have it on good authority that JFK's head just did that all on its own.

I think there are two major purposes in government. First, protection for its citizens. This includes military protection from hostile foreign powers and domestic protection from interpersonal crime and systemic violence as well as providing safety nets.

The second is creation, protection, and maintenance of public infrastructure, including transportation arteries, healthcare systems, etc.

Furthermore, government should be centered around protecting all its citizens, not just the richest.

It really is! I ran out of ammo yesterday when I was shooting up an Oklahoma daycare center. Walked across the street to the Walmart and got another 50 rounds of 7.62 from the vending machine. I was back to shooting toddlers in like 5 minutes flat! So convenient!

That's a really long one but pretty much every shitty trend since the 80s can be attributed back to him: Wage stagnation, climate inaction, police militarization, Middle East wars, no taxes for the wealthy, war on drugs, for profit prisons, elimination of pensions, union busting, media polarization, Iran-Contra affair, etc.

He was popular because he was charismatic but literally all of his policies hollowed out the country into what it is today.

  • Only state to not vote for Reagan

All this hardship and money just so they can build a giant glass box in the middle of the fucking desert. Anyone whose spent like 5 minutes in a greenhouse will tell you why that's a bad idea for a city.

For a fun prank, pour out a small drop of Nitroglycerin and smack it with a hammer to scare your friends. :^)

This is nothing new from Tesla. My parents have a Model 3 and they can't use a car wash at all with it. Hand wash only.

Classic Conservative. All feelings of empathy begin and end at himself.

Insurance rates are the true Canary of Collapse. If the money men have calculated that certain areas are going to quickly become unlivable, then people should listen.

Of course it's not trivial to just pack up your life and move but it's about to become super necessary, unfortunately.
