- They’re a proud people. They don’t like to talk about taking handouts. They like the handouts, they just don’t like talking about itnb

- oh mono your righteous stupidity is starting to get old. Kentucky gets agricultural subsidies for costs of perishable commodities they can't control.hotroddy
- And they'll get more subsidies because the loonie left can't control inflation. But is the population of .01% of the US population is a threat to youhotroddy
- shitting on .01 percent of the population because they are white is real bigotry.hotroddy

My friend is works in finance but not for banks, just for companies. His job is sort of like accounting except he looks forward instead of backward.
He got a new boss last year who gave him the runaround for a year and wouldn’t promote him. His job is easy for him but there’s nowhere to grow.
He’s 36, no kids. So he should quit, right? After all, he should need to be moving up in the world at his age and situation.
So he starts looking for a new job. Finds one. Doesn’t quit his old job, he just does the bare minimum to not get fired. New job is his focus.
Now he collects two large paychecks and works about 8 hrs per day.
The American Dream, realized!

- Rotterdam bridge is reportedly being dismantled so Jeff Bezos' yacht can pass throughsted
- Excellent, more work and income for the region as well as the existing shipyard that's been constructing the yacht.Morning_star
- If he drowned in a boating accident there'd be more income for Rotterdam's funeral industry and party popper shops. Excellent.MrT

- A yacht this big for this dwarf??
Is Dicaprio invited to do a "trip"??OBBTKN - It's a 'cosmetic' bridge that has a mid-section specifically designed to be removed for ships built in the local shipyard to pass through for delivery.Nairn
- “I find the turmoil quite peculiar. No decision has yet been taken, not even an application for a permit,” Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad quoted mayor Ahmed Asted

Elon Musk has repeatedly bragged that he'll pay more in federal taxes for 2021 than anyone has ever paid — about $11 billion. But Tesla apparently won't pay a cent.
Tesla may not plan to pay federal taxes any time in the foreseeable future -- even though the company just reported by far its most profitable year ever. In 2021, Tesla recorded net income of $5.5 billion, and adjusted income of $7.6 billion.
But buried in a footnote of its recent annual financial filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Tesla reports that its US operations lost $130 million last year on a pre-tax basis. It claims that all of its pre-tax profits — more than $6 billion worth — came from overseas operations, even though 45% of its revenue came from US sales.
Although Tesla indicates its foreign tax bill came to $839 million, its state tax bill was only $9 million. And its federal tax bill was zero.
- the green new deal by AOC = he'd be getting a nice corrupt gov't kickback for going green.hotroddy
- You're either for subsidizing green tech or you think Tesla should pay taxes.zarkonite
- As usual...he doesn't have a fucking clue.utopian
- Always taking out both side of his ass.utopian
- "talking" or "taint"utopian
- Shouldn’t companies like Tesla be helped until all cars are electric?Chimp
- So which is utopia? Are you in favor of subsiding green tech? If so, once again you contradicted yourself.. . enjoy that amazon prime account. :)hotroddy

- i think you are confusing socialism with capitalism. must be because ur peanut sized American educated brain can't comprehend that some profit from socialismhotroddy
- funny how the panel blames only corporations. So many stories I heard about people waiting for their PPC loan to buy a new car or invest in bitcoin.hotroddy
- Hotrods will lick boots until his dying day.PhanLo
- not for long... wait till i get my ppc money yo!hotroddy
- Wow..Just finished watching this episode and Vivek is a rock star. Completely annihilated Marianne in every argumenthotroddy
- You are one of the dumbest and most ignorant son of a bitches....that I have ever met. Where you adopted and or dropped on your head as a child?utopian
- wow, what a strong argument. i have never considered such an enlightened and sharp witted opinion in politics. you sir have won the internethotroddy
- btw, Unless you are an adolescent wannabe influencer, I would stop using 'cray cray'. It's just embarrassing.hotroddy

- that's socialism. print money, increase wages, print money increase wages to create a society dependent on gov't handouts bc salary doesn't cover inflationhotroddy
- again confusing capitalism with socialism because the concept deals with 'money'hotroddy
- if you're going to stick to such a strict definition of capitalism, it's not socialism it's social-capitalism or oligarchykingsteven
- countries with the highest rate of inflation (historically and currently) is STRICT socialism. I can list the countries for youhotroddy
- The meme is not about historically socialist countries, it's about wage poverty in current western oligarchical capitalism. So all your doing is pointing outkingsteven
- the similarities (motivated by anti-socialist agenda). To people that have more nuanced political views than the 1940skingsteven
- My views aren’t nuanced views from a 80 years ago. My views are update to date real experiences.hotroddy
- You increase wages you increase inflation. It’s that simple. You don’t need to be Milton Friedman to understand that.hotroddy
- This meme doesn’t even correlate with current USA economic. For last 50 years us has enjoyed low inflation. It’s only now that we’ve seen inflation rockethotroddy
- Close down economy and give people free money.. wtf you think is going to happenhotroddy
- Socialist use inflation to keep people poor and dependent. Print more money = more govt programshotroddy
- And then some idiot like AOC will suggest putting price controls on basic goods. Which cause shortages. But you don’t learn from the mistakes of others.hotroddy
- Didn't say your views are from the 1940s, I said you have an anti socialist agenda. There's going to be 4 rises in inflation in the UK before the end of thekingsteven
- year and it has nothing to do with the government or socialismkingsteven
- I was actually slagging socialists if anything by saying the intended audience for your comment has views from the 40skingsteven
- Such a feeble-minded, apologist, crony capitalist swine.utopian
- a feeble mind is someone who argues with memeshotroddy
- You are arguing with a memekingsteven
- lol. what I meant to say is people who use memes as their retort. But I agree, arguing with a meme is equally stupid. i will stop this nonsensehotroddy
- Good because you’re mostly wrong. This is a capitalist society, wages aren’t going up and inflation is. There is no socialism boogeyman you clown.monospaced
- wages aren't going up? funny because that's Biden's big talking point.hotroddy
- Aren’t Scandinavian countries more socialist than the USA and have a better standard of living including healthcare and education.Chimp
- yes. they are tiny and homogenous. and everyone contributes and pays taxes. For every Scandanavian example there are 20 venezuelan examples.hotroddy
- Does american demographics look more like Scandanavia or like Venezuela?hotroddy
- someone should tell that senile old man that wages aren't going uphotroddy
- I take your point on the homogeny but do you admit that more socialist countries can be better off than more capitalist countries like the US?Chimp
- Or are Venezuela and other basket cases poor because of corruption?Chimp
- This is an interesting video about the differences between Venezuela and Norway. https://youtu.be/7_m…Chimp
- Perhaps large countries aren’t the best at managing the wellbeing of the majority as they are too large and diverse. Anyway, that’s my two pence.Chimp
- Yes, a few select socialist countries do enjoy a better quality of life than capitalist.hotroddy
- the video you sent me is not accurate. Carlos andres perez nationalized oil production in the 90's but production of oil was at it's highest back thenhotroddy
- that's because it issued concessions to american oil companies to drill and refine venezuelan oilhotroddy
- it was when Chavez fired/jailed petroleum engineers for striking that it all went to shit. Chavez didn't nationalize oil. It was already nationalizedhotroddy
- But even as production went down, the price of oil went up 150%. He enjoyed revenue higher than any administration prior.hotroddy
- The differences between Norway and Venezuela are too many to list here.hotroddy
- Somehow "Venezuela" is always used as an example to defend crony capitalism, LOL.utopian
- norway isn't socialistkingsteven
- Somehow ‘Norway’ is always brought up to defend socialism. Usually by third world folks with third world mentalitieshotroddy
- no, but it nationalized it's oil productionhotroddy
- It seems corruption is more of the problem than how capitalist / socialist a country is.Chimp
- Everytime capitalism does what it was designed to do and fucks everyone over, capitalists call it socialism.i_monk
