Men are simple and it ain’t because of wanting food from their wives. We only have one organ they need to take care of…. Our eyes, we got sports and zombie movies that need tended to when we get home. 1 Link to comment

RedDenver Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 5 minutes ago, Archy1221 said: People like Nina just have no clue at times Having the goal of abolishing poverty does not mean the current system didn't reduce poverty dramatically. The dramatic improvement also doesn't mean that capitalism is the only way to abolish poverty (or even that capitalism could ever abolish poverty). And reducing poverty broadly doesn't mean capitalism didn't create poverty in other ways. We can both acknowledge the successes of the current and past systems and want to do better in the future. 1 1 1 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I’ve liked what I’ve seen from Kunce. But, I don’t agree with him here. I agree with Elon more. Link to comment

I have not heard that about Tesla. But, I’m not going to dispute if they have had safety issues. Bit, that doesn’t mean Elon doesn’t build things or that just because he’s a billionaire, he should be looked at as something bad. And, I’m not an Elon fan. Link to comment

I'm just talking about workers in general, at the OEM and the suppliers. Deaths in OEM plants are extremely rare, deaths in the suppliers are rare but they do happen. All these workers sacrifice their bodies. Repetitive motions 500+ times a day in a noisy, dusty environment is not good on your body. 2 Link to comment

He did finance and have the general idea for it, or he bought the idea in the case of Tesla. 3 Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I don't think it's right to use billionaire as a pejorative without context. But we do live in an age where billionaires like Musk want to portray themselves as victims. and that's equally silly. 1 Link to comment

Sacrifice is only one component amongst many that go into 'building' something. Vision, ingenuity, organizational leadership, etc. are also components. 1 1 Link to comment

Ilhan Omar's campaign cash to consultants fell by millions of dollars after she removed her husband's firm from her payroll, a Fox News Digital review of federal filings has found. The Minnesota lawmaker dished out millions of dollars from her campaign's coffers to the E Street Group, a political consulting firm co-owned by her husband, Tim Mynett, during the 2020 election cycle. Mynett's group had raked in half of Omar's total expenditures, making it the committee's largest vendor during that election. 1 1 Link to comment

Too bad GOP voters have spent the past 7 years calling it smart business. Otherwise we might find common ground. 1 Link to comment
