The Protesters Are Right About French Austerity Yes, France’s government spends a lot as a percentage of GDP, but you have to remember that it’s GDP is very small. In raw dollars, the US spends more than France even though it spends less as a percentage of GDP. I’m not sure why France’s GDP is so small but I suspect it is due to the work of capitalist saboteurs.

France has the exact government that Ro advocates America to have and yet they are embroiled in riots of discontent. There is no amount of free that will make them happy. In fact, as they get closer to more free stuff they get angrier. A lesson.

There should be a logical fallacy called Appeal To Fire. Like when you burn things down you’ve lost the argument.

"I don't want flying cars. I want raw nature and real human connection." Brother… YOU are CURRENTLY SELLING $50 worth of protein bars that were not foraged, not hunted, and not hand-pressed by a village elder at dawn but manufactured in a FACILITY on a production line powered by the electrical grid, sealed in plastic made from petroleum pumped out of the earth by giant drills, boxed, labeled, barcoded, and scanned into an inventory system running on servers cooled by industrial AC units humming 24/7, then loaded onto a DIESEL TRUCK that hauls them down an interstate bulldozed straight through the exact wilderness you want to get lost in (you will not get lost, there is a Buc-ee's), dumped into a sorting hub full of conveyor belts and robotic arms and lasers, thrown onto ANOTHER truck, handed to a mail carrier idling in a van in a cul-de-sac, and dropped on a porch in a cardboard box that gets ripped open in four seconds and tossed in the recycling, all so someone can eat a bar they bought on a phone with a credit card processed in 0.3 seconds by a bank mainframe and then YOU logged on to tell the rest of us technology doesn't make anyone happy, when it's clearly making YOU very happy, and the second someone figures out drone delivery you'll be first in line with your logo on the propellers, so no, you're not a troglodyte, because troglodytes never offered free shipping on orders over $75.

I never want to hear Europe is more civilized than the US ever again in my life.

"Did you laugh at what he said?" I gotta believe it sounded better in the original Russian.

Fuming 😡

This guy, who apparently works for The Bulwark, wrote an article saying that he was baffled about why Shane Gillis was allowed to host SNL, since previous outings were ranked dead last for each season. I found this surprising because I’d assumed that a comic as popular as Gillis would get high ratings. I clicked through and it turns out that the rankings he was talking about weren’t ratings, but HIS personal rankings of each season. So his entire rationale for why it’s bad when Gillis hosts the show is that he doesn’t like it when Gillis hosts the show.

I’m not even a resident of Indiana and I’m voting for her twice.

RT @JessicaBRiedl: This is because deeper surveys and focus groups have shown that self-described socialists expect taxes on the super-weal…

Haha wasn’t this monologue like weeks ago? How long are we going to have to talk about whether it’s ok to joke about women dressing like whores at the gym? This is America! People can dress like whores wherever they want and comedians can make jokes about it.

when we have a democratic president again all this stuff will be super-charged...

Am I crazy or does Grok think a legitimate picture of Rep Presley is actually a gender swap AI of Talarico?!

Shane Gillis should not have made fun of women on SNL. There is nothing funny about women on SNL.

Poisoning someone on film is a $7k fine and one day in jail…jfc
