What even is your position on this? Social spending enables more people to participate in the economy. Taking homelessness as an example again, we spend more on social programs keeping people homeless through general aid, and medical assistance than it would cost to house them. That alone would help with the deficit. Then the stability housing would provide allows more people to participate in the economy resulting in more tax revenue, less need for assistance, larger workforce etc… This experiment has already been proven in other countries. That kind of social benefit applies to other areas as well especially in healthcare and food assistance. Sometimes the right thing is also the best thing. You know, if goodness alone isn’t enough to sway you.

Once again you can support this and still want to fix the deficit and national debt crisis.

Definitely said the opposite of that. Social spending and fiscal responsibility. I was highlighting that social programs can be the tide that raises all boats. Once again you can be pro-social spending and anti national debt.

You can (and should) be worried about national debt while still supporting social programs. Hell, solving most social problems like homelessness would ultimately grow our economy and help relieve the debt.

Boy do I love censorship even if I still know what it says. My weak disposition can handle seeing such foul language.

Look I love warbling tits as much as the next guy, but ornithologists are the horniest scientists in the game.

Sauce? I need a Spider-Man Wolverine crossover in my life.

Most Americans don’t even know what capitalism is. They think it’s synonymous with commerce because that’s what we’re taught.

Maybe because you lost your mind. Funny thing is this would put you center-left. Super authoritarian, but left of center. Try moving essential goods and services to the public sector and then we’re talking.

This. I hear people complain about the “far left” when the Democratic Party is at best center-right. The entire left side of the political spectrum isn’t even an option in this country.

“By creating an environment with no room for human emotion, we provide a way for those who do not want to engage in healthy processing to do just that”

We’re in the same boat with the self expectations. Good enough doesn’t always feel good enough, but it is.

I call bullshit. Anyone with the capacity to truly consider their own inadequacies is immediately adequate.

You think you’re dumb? No, you can write in complete sentences. You think you’re selfish? No, you obviously don’t give yourself enough consideration. Think you’re ugly? Beauty is fleeting, and also no you’re not. You think someone who’s smart, caring, and cute is inadequate? Once again, bullshit. Go find love.

Never mind that the story they are referencing is about the importance of hospitality. It would be more accurate to say that the Bible is saying to kill ICE agents.

Imagine the sludge in their shriveled little hearts to feel anything but profound sadness and/or rage looking at that sign. I used to think there was good in everyone. I was wrong.
