*specifically short-term profits. Executives only care about the next quarter and their own incentives/bonuses. Sure the company is eventually hollowed out and left as a wreck, but by then, the C Suite has moved on to their next host org. Rinse and repeat.

Exactly this. The Confederates should never have been allowed to rejoin society.

The larger issue is AWS (Amazon Web Services) which generates more than 70% of Amazon’s profits. The retail side is almost inconsequential.

And it grows you a lil muffintop

Put her near the top of the list to be primaried.

Simple enough:

Religion primed them to believe nonsense while removing their ability to parse fact from fiction. So now they’re both rubes and willing targets for any grifter that has the right blend of charisma and hate that they associate with their religious upbringing.

The good ol “slam.” In the arsenals of elite journalists web-wide.

Almost every single red state is a welfare queen. They exist as parasites to better run, Democratic economies, and subsist on Federal largesse.

Let’s play the game. Cut these shitheel states down to their state-level economies, and use the funding for programs that allow citizens to move OUT of those states.

A Boomer who refuses to accept and acknowledge their personal failing and complicit decisions?

Quelle surprise

Right wing “Christians” aren’t concerned with the stories or messaging in their own religion; they don’t even read the Bible.

They join specific churches because they find common ground with others who are eager to share in their hate. Naturally, an empty suit, fake Strongman, actual conman like Trump can easily convert them to his cult, as the Church has already primed them psychologically.

Zero Federal funds should go to any religious institution. Zero.

Clinton won in 1993. The late 1900s. 30+ years ago.

Obama’s entire campaign was on Hope for Change. And he’s the first black President ever.

Are you really trying to argue that these are equivalences?

So either we are to believe they’ve learned nothing and will continue to alienate their base, while remaining inept fools on the international stage, OR their idea of rebuilding a carbon copy of the previous failures is by design.

A centrist DNC is a loser. A center-right DNC is a loser. The DNC will never beat the Republicans at their own game, so either these strategists are the densest people on the planet, or they are the mouthpieces of Controlled Opposition, exactly as expected.

There is no duality in which savvy, intelligent political players arrive at “Centrism wins,” without some inherent greasy, malfeasant ulterior motives.

It’s difficult to even pretend that they are serious in this endeavor; their every action and utterance is an admission of planned incompetence.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. It’s just some rebar, poorly covered in concrete. Like something a set designer would make for a cheap dystopian movie.

Smells like Farm Spirit

fucking lol.

Where do daleks and Cyber-men fit in?

Lanaaaaa!

“Okay, but does making it easier for them somehow lessen MY accomplishments? Is that how you think? Jesus christ mom.”

Yeah, I was also here for the Matrix with extra steps comment.

100%

14 years of gaping monetary policy conditioned Corps to making profits from nearly free debt.

Now they have to actually USE their businesses’ capabilities and it turns out they suck at being businesses. MIT calls it a “capability trap.”

They’re just con men still hoping people will dance to their tune after the music has stopped.
