I think these next 4 years we're going to see a lot of Americans see how much the depend on the federal government. My brain broke when I saw the woman a couple weeks ago who said "I voted for you, but now you're cutting SNAP?"
He literally said he was going to. You voted that you wanted that
Seems like these people have no idea what the government does. They just think it's just things for poor people and minorities.
They've been spoonfed for so long that they forget that they're the poor people. That sounds mean, but holy fuck, I don't need snap. I personally don't need welfare. I'm doing okay - but I voted for those things because I know people do depend on them. But hooray I guess they voted to lower my taxes probably? I guess enjoy not being able to afford food when I voted to try to protect that?
Your taxes will be going up unless you’re making in excess of $400k per year. Only the very richest are getting tax cuts, and those will be massive cuts. This is the actual primary goal of this admin, make no mistake.
My taxes will probably be going down. I still think this administration deserves hellfire and cancer. I am ashamed to be an American. Fuck Elon, I actually hope he dies in some sort of fiery crash, but slowly. And I'll do whatever I can to make life better for my community.
Glad you haven’t been corrupted into a temporarily embarrassed billionaire…yet! ;]
I won't ever be a billionaire, I wouldn't want to be anyway, that's insane. Anything over a few million to coast during my senior years I'll just donate - assuming I even make that much.
I'd really love to build local communes where groups of people can live somewhat or completely sustainably. I'm thinking like well water, solar power, community garden, and little homes surrounding a central community area. I'd love it if people could also contribute to living by doing something they enjoy versus something they have to do.
Nice, I too share a very similar vision. Working on getting something like it setup near where I live, definitely a worthwhile pursuit!
The Bush era joke was 'Americans learn geography via invading countries.'
I guess the Trump era joke will be 'Americans learn what taxes actually go toward after they are starving and homeless.'
The leopards are having a grand ole time, what with so many faces to eat.
Monty Python hit the nail on the head with The Life of Brian.
"Aside from the sewage system, water system, health system, education system, roads, bridges, internet, weather prediction, farm insurance, bank insurance, home insurance, disaster relief, police, fire department, and GPS and space constellation... What has the government ever done for us?"
To be fair, "they were told it would happen" doesn't work when all their "news" comes from Fox, OAN, Facebook, Breitbart etc.
To be clear, this person is still to blame for NOT seeking out more information from more sources.
"Have the life you voted for."
I like this... I might take it...
The NIH still has its funding halted. What people may not realize is 90% of biomedical research is funded through the NIH and it funds over 800,000 scientists. As an example 99% of drugs approved in the last 10 year period were discovered using NIH funding.

Easier to be a fascist dictator when everyone is sick and dying.
which has global ramifications. Fuck this regime. Fuck elon.
It's always "cut government spending except for all the government spending that benefits me!"
If you ever feel like feeling sorry for them, just remember them cheering for this.
It would just be nice if only they faced their own consequences instead of dragging the rest of the world down.
Having the magats affected as much as the rest of us is a small salve
This is how I learn that Reed Timmer is a MAGA freakazoid? Real fuckin shame, I only ever looked into his storm chasing content
