Short term matters as well in this scenario

@VulpesVulpes
I’m definitely for your plan of tied minimum wage and inflation, but not now. Businesses are struggling due to Covid and it would worsen unemployment and close more small businesses. Give it another couple years and I’d be onboard

It’s true if businesses are already on their last legs due to, idk, a global pandemic

Alright, in that case, I think we might agree more than we disagree

No, terrible. Too many people live off of that

An extra $200 ish dollars per employee when businesses are already thousands in debt isn’t good.

😂

That’s per employee. My families business had around 15 employees before it shut due to COVID. That’s a good $3,000 less, which only adds to not making profits this year

The U.S. Small Business Administration counts companies with as much as $35.5 million in sales and 1,500 employees as "small businesses", depending on the industry.


That’s a good 300k loss, per year at Max

Is it really? Holy shit

Small businesses, especially in retail probably can’t afford a raise in price if the big guys don’t raise price too. Which is concerning to me

No. Whoever taught you economics didn’t do a very good job no offense 😂

Alright, I did do some research. Small raises in minimum wage can actually reduce prices. Wack. Not what was taught by my economics class, that’s for sure 😂

Now the real debate is whether to tie the minimum wage increase to cost of living, inflation, or to a mix of the two. Either way they are very similar

That sounds good. I mean, you could argue cost of living is more important, but at the same time it is mainly affected by inflation. Average of the two would probably be best

I blame Jean-Baptiste Colbert and his mercantilism

I’d be a doctor. Nobody knew anything about medicine so doctors were trusted even though 99% of their practices was bullshit.

“Yep, there’s ghosts in your blood. I’ll let the blood drain from your arm for an hour and then when that’s done do some cocaine about it”

I’d rather drink all day, prescribe cocaine and alcohol as I make up shit and watch people bleed

Ending debt would be near impossible in the foreseeable future without a huge raise in tax

Saying you want to decrease it but not giving any real path to doing so is hearsay

Well that escalated quickly

What gov spending in particular would you cut? Would you increase tax? If so, how much and which tax brackets and what tax?

Libertarian is the way!

😂

You hear about Trumps bill that makes prices more transparent? I haven’t looked too deeply into it, but from what I hear it might help reduce prices

As long as it isn’t sudden. I don’t like the idea of dismantling an entire economic field at once is a good idea. I don’t like any major economic decision at once actually

This

Shouldn’t be unpopular if it lowers prices as intended and happens with prior warning with maybe a 10 year or so plan to progressively get rid of it piece by piece

It won’t be unpopular for anyone who’s truly based

MSM does have **WAYYYYY** too much impact of politics and public opinion

MSM is fucked. I’m almost always anti-regulation and anti-censorship, but something really needs to be done about those fuckers

I loved my Mock Government program except for the National Populist Party being commies and siding with the Democrats 100% of the time. That was annoying af

There’s rumor Trump will start one after leaving office, which would be great

What do y’all think Trumps chances are at this point?

Agreed. I’m still holding on to a sliver of hope, but I’ll be surprised if he pulls this off

Not gonna happen

If January 6th passes, it’s over, and that’s unlikely to turn out well on its own. Only chance then is Civil War which is even less likely to succeed

No authoritarian military/gov for me

If there’s a Civil War, we’ll have big problems

What? I might be stupid, but this phrasing confuses the shit outta me. Please specify

I mean, not our land without a doubt, but maybe another country could go 💥

Iran is threatening to kill Trump. It wouldn’t bode well for them

And people in this server are already calling for us to nuke China

I’m not saying we do it, but high alert mode and threatening to nuke Iran along with a bombing campaign and maybe (buy hopefully not) landing in troops would do the trick

We can. 99% of the world would die thanks to the Doctrine of MAD, but it’s something we can do. Just shouldn’t

Explain

If they assassinate the President and take credit for it, people are gonna ~~want~~ need a public response. War might be justified

Such as?

When are we gonna do that? We can’t wait till Iran actually kills him. We should start now

^^^

agreed

I’ve heard this, but I’ve also heard a bunch of other bullshit, so idk

No country would stand a land invasion of the US no matter the support, unless they soften the battlefield with nukes, in which case the entire planet would die anyway

I say we do light bombing of China, some assassinations here and there, arm Hong Kong protesters, and let the country collapse

Canada would go down easily, China not so much

Their main problem is our Air Force. The US Air Force is the largest Air Force in the world. The US Navy and Marines is the second largest Air Force in the world

He lost the popular vote last election to the conservative candidate, so there’s hope at least

Among the border would be land invasion no doubt because its close enough to be easy to do and too close where bombs might damage infrastructure/inflict casualties

People immediately point to their missile supply, until you realize it’s pointless to have any more than they have because what they have is already enough to destroy the world several times over

Boris Johnson has been called the UK’s Trump

He’s more of a Laizzes-Faire Tory Liberal while Trump is more of a Protectionist Authoritarian with some Libertarian economic policies. They are both Nationalist and Populists though

Agreed

Remember when Trudeau had 3 different picture of him wearing blackface from different years came out and nobody said shit!

Remember when he broke almost every promise he made coming into office?

Remember after 2016 when Liberals said that “in no civilized nation can a leader lose the popular vote and win the election” and then Trudeau did exactly that?




You may not remember, but Pepperidge Farm remembers

Trump can stay 😂

I have a feeling January 6th is gonna suck. Either Pence rejects some ballots, and it fails/ he doesn’t reject ballots which ends with a Biden presidency, or Pence rejects ballots and it succeeds which will cause HUGE violent protests from the left and expands the power of the government leaving a path for the Vice President to decide elections

Which is worst/best 😂

Both suck IMO

Alright, it’s 4:17 AM, I should sleep

Goodnight y’all

Fuck that whole sleep thing

It’s 5:18 for me 😂

I tried, I blame insomnia

Fair

5:19

#MeToo

No

Correct

@Mcgoober

Considering I’ve doubled my money on it since Christmas Eve, I regret nothing

Wym

Aight, fair enough

Yet the person you impersonate is objecting to electors on the 6th 😂

Ramping up to the 6th

Agreed

I’m late, but yes

No pineapple on pizza 😡

I enjoy pineapple, and I will tolerate pineapple on pizza as long as we unite against strawberry and banana on pizza

NO!

Why

Cursed

SACRILEGIOUS!!! Don’t be surprised if you get struck by lightning in 2 years on the 14th of March

Neither

Idk, she was alive before I got here

Well, time to make a Discord religion server where I am God, be back in a while

Good
