Political Discussion

I have now read 3 articles about "Climate Refugees" this week.

One I read yesterday was about a Midwest city advertising to climate refugees as the place to move to.

This morning, I read and article about how real estate in Duluth Minnesota is bombing and it's all because of climate refugees.

People who lost their homes in wild files in the west, people who have lost their homes to hurricanes on the east. And those in those areas fearing they could be next if they don't move.

Indiana Sheriff’s Association supporter plate, I think, but yeah, similar thing and it’s a tie between that and the WP sticker for me.

although this person is fish shit, I think the WP sign here being upside down means they are a 13-yo boy and it's actually "the game."

I'll stick with the bootlicker plate and Joe and the Hoe for being the worst things this person paid to place on their car.

i'm going to assume this person is anti-gov, anti-bailout. yet this misogynist, pro-white, pro-chevy lifestylist supports a company that received massive gov. bailout funds demonstrated by the urinating truck decal... when Ford, which i always thought stood for found on road dead chose not to take the handout. i guess this person is also anti-logic. we are an evolutionary dead-end.

Crazy. For the last year there would be days I would simply look at trends, futures, and my portfolio and scratch my head. Who are these people behind the invisible hand? I would say. Who are these non institute players causing these shifts...sometimes it be ya own "peeps"

Disappointed. When I saw the Twitter handle I was here for pictures of odd looking blues and humpbacks!

Also not surprised that elected officials trade a lot, and successfully. What’s the point of twisting the system to favour the super rich if you can’t get in on the action yourself?

Yea I am not surprised just disappointed in the options buying. You get information on a tech company early cuz you are in the WH ok invest. You are shorting a company because you hear there will be a increase in public interest: Fuck you, go work for a hedge fund, you don't care about the average person.

Again is it surprising that these elected officials are stealing from the poor and not caring about the average person? Of course not! This has been the norm for decades. Is it funny however to see people fight side vs. side week in and out....when you VERY CLEARLY see both sides are picking your pockets while you and your family deal with corona, changing lifestyles, etc.....I'm not going to dive into the actual numbers and say oh look at this vs. that. I will let whomever wants to do that go right ahead.....Just disappointed BUT NOT AT ALL A SURPRISE

That's my semi annual politico/economico 2 cents for the year . See ya in December. Just please don't get mad/fight/block/tear down/lose sleep over a fight with a person over which party cares about you more. There is shit in every corner if you really look for it.

the OK hand signal was co-opted to mean White Power

More accurately, used by 4chan to troll the terminally woke into looking ridiculous.

Sadly, their mission was accomplished with a degree of success that I doubt even they could have imagined.

Edited to add: The owner of the truck is an idiot, but I didn’t really figure that was actually up for debate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Will also say that the line between bootlicker and boot owner is so fuzzy in this instance that there could not even be one which, in the era of thinking about extremism infiltrating our institutions, is...not comforting.

We have crooks running our government and racists infiltrating our police and armed forces. What could go wrong here?

Edit: just trying to imagine telling my brown wife, stepdaughter, and son that this signal is just a joke: "This guy isn't racist, he just wants to trick you into believing that he's racist, because he thinks that makes you look dumb. That's the punchline, you look stupid for believing that this hand gesture that he says means 'white power' actually *means* 'white power.' It actually doesn't, and you're stupid for taking this asshole at his word. He hates you for your beliefs, not for your skin. Isn't that funny?"

And this is why I do not understand these new cool "jokes". These jokes are still harmful to people, which makes them, IMHO, not funny.

It started out that way sure but has since become widely accepted by the White Suprematist movement to mean exactly what 4chan claimed initially as a goof on the MSM. Lots of white suprematist don’t frequent 4chan and aren’t in on the joke but still use the gesture the same way I, as 15 year-old boy thought I was super edgy by casually flash the bird in school photos.

Also, It may be way down on the list of shitty things for both but Fuck 4chan and White Suprematists for co-opting the “OK” hand gesture. I liked that one.
