(If you are a USian) your conservative dad should probably know that corporate tax rates in the US were as high as 52% in the 1950s. Imagine the social programs that could be paid for which such things.

Most of the people who say they want to go back to the 1950s for political reasons don't mean it. They just want to cherrypick certain things and claim everything used to be better. As with anything, there's a lot of extra details, but I'd be willing to bet that a lot of these folks want the casual racism but not the taxes.

I started using double dashes -- like these right here -- because then it feels more like an intentional pause with some neat stylistic touch.

Mostly, I just write like I talk.

Nearly always suspend. It just works for me and I've never had issues (Arch and Pop). I rarely, rarely have power outages so the end result is the same.

Did he even say thank you?

Hunter's Laptop people speaking up in 3...2....1.... wait where are they???

Yes. And it's just hypocrisy all the way down: otherwise, as you say, we wouldn't hear anything negative about the left exercising right to protest.

On top of r/conservative is a post about "the algorithm" flooding someone's feed with news about US protests. Of course, the response wasn't "hey great! Look at all those people exercising their right to free speech!". Instead, it's just bitching and claims of fake news (and no understanding that there really may be significant protests right now -- just automatically, they must be false). There is no logic for people who can no longer discern facts from opinions.

"Fund managers publicly announce that they are incredibly slow on the uptake and yet still control all the money"

It never left. Using it still makes you look like an asshole.

All these "free speech absolutists" still don't realize that free speech does not mean immunity from consequences of that speech from your fellow citizens. It's almost like they just haven't paid attention for their entire lives.

They'll do anything except regulate the folks hoarding all the property for passive income.

They nominees are the ones who win the primaries, regardless of who the DNC wants the nominees to be.

Unless one of them is a self-professed Democratic Socialist...

Abraham had sex with his (wife's) slave Hagar to produce Ishmael -- and both Hagar and Ishmael were then exiled after Abraham was able to conceive with his wife and produce Isaac.

Certainly not the kind of values I'd want for my family.

When the rich people are now questioning the other rich people, you know shit isn't exactly going to plan.

At least not the plan some of the rich thought they were getting. They forgot to factor in the incompetence.
