@stevesilberman RFK Jr is a man of principle. That principle seems to be to keep the mainsail 3 sheets to the wind.

@cykonot @Huntn00 @MichaelTBacon @mapachin How do you define capitalism? What is its function outsides the bounds of human interaction?

@cykonot @Huntn00 @MichaelTBacon @mapachin Capitalism is an abstraction that describes a form of human interaction. It is not a thing unto itself. It does not exist in nature. Removing the human interaction turns it into nothing more than math.

@cykonot @Huntn00 @MichaelTBacon @mapachin Human input factors into it at some point or it is not meaningful. Consumption is input – unless you are suggesting automatons producing for other automatons and the humans subsisting off the scraps of automated trade. You are suggesting the creation of a completely separate econosystem.

@GGMcBG @rbreich Seriously, what have molerats done to you that you that you should be so mean to them?

The USPS isn't "losing money", it's providing a service, that's the job of the government. Conservatives never talk about how much money Defense loses, and entire aircraft carriers just "disappear".

@catsrule0000 “Have JD order donuts.”

@RememberUsAlways Hey, if your policy is shit, well, as they say, "in Soviet Russia, policy stick to you."

@luckytran Project 2025 aims to change "HHS" to "Department of Life" and focus on making cattle of women, so putting Junior in charge of it is of negligible significance.

@GottaLaff @lolgop It is odd what gets amplified. Ever since, was it Roy Blount’s “shut that whole thing down” comment, the RW has steadfastly employed a tactic of saying the most ridiculous things, in an effort to get attention. They spew that crap, the media abets them by publicizing it, and suddenly the RW has set the dialog, which reasonable people cannot seem to counter with non-stupid words that go unnoticed.

#JimmyCarter's grandson, Jason Carter, at the #DNC:

"Papa is holding on. He's hopeful, and though his body may be weak tonight, his spirit is as strong as ever. My grandfather can't wait to vote for Kamala #Harris. She reminds us all that the promise of America remains unchanged. We are one nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all, and my grandfather knows that with her as our next president, we will keep that promise."

@ElleGray Arrgh! Is she wearing a *tan suit*? The horror …
