Weird we learned that it was states rights to own people in VA Middle School and how the plantation system worked

Art of the deal baby

It’s not incompetent to give someone a penny and have them give you back $100. That’s a great investment. So I would have to say their corruption is very confident if they can give a million dollar bribe and get back a billion dollars of revenue.

It would make a lot of sense if you were Seth

Care to elaborate?

I’m pretty sure the over 1,000 atmospheric tests of nuclear weapons over the last hundred years had zero effect on background radiation levels and on levels of human contamination from eating radioactive fallout…

I’m not saying we didn’t have cancer before but I would be very surprised if the rates are not elevated. Even counting misdiagnosises as consumptive illness.

On a similar note, I do suspect that our current petrochemical heavy environment has changed the human microchoism enough to possibly make it more likely for some of the classical autism traits to be passed on generation to generation influencing their heritability in society at large. Sincerely, an artist with two autistic parents in denial. And at least three autistic grandparents.

Tbh, if it was a burning bush, I’m not certain if it would be better or worse as that’s the only actual description beyond blinding light that we have

Historically, they have had impact however with this administration…

Just replace the battery then. Most phone shops have the ability and tools to do it in about an hour to 3 hours.

Imagine not understanding the system you hate isn’t capitalism but cronyism and protectionism in the year of our Lord 2025. The government shouldn’t subsidize business and let megacorps not pay tax while also giving them endless subsidies in return for political favor. If your company can’t compete it should fail.

This is untrue, your confusing capitalism and short sighted greed. Capitalism’s major issue is that very often the ship is being steered by somebody chasing next quarter’s profits and abandoning anything further into the future.

Henry Ford famously paid his workers $5 a day in 1914 primarily to reduce high labor turnover and improve worker productivity. This wage increase was a significant shift from the previous average rate of $2.34, and it was also intended to make the Model T more affordable for his own workers. Here’s a more detailed look at the reasons behind Ford’s $5-a-day wage: Reduced Turnover: Ford had a crippling labor turnover rate of 370%. By offering a higher wage, he aimed to attract and retain workers, minimizing the cost and disruption of constantly hiring and training new employees. Increased Productivity: Ford believed that paying workers a higher wage would motivate them to work harder and more efficiently. Improved Morale: The higher wage was intended to improve workers’ morale and reduce the distractions caused by financial worries. Making Cars Affordable: A key factor was the desire to make the Model T affordable for the workers who were producing it. By making their wages high enough to purchase a car, Ford hoped to stimulate demand and create a larger market for his product. “Profit-Sharing” and “Fordism”: Ford initially presented the wage increase as a “profit-sharing” plan, arguing that workers deserved a greater share of the company’s success. This concept became known as “Fordism,” which combined large-scale production with higher wages.

Well when you respond missing half your brain

I find it interesting that to you the definitions have changed and what I was taught in school 20 years ago is no longer accurate.

Words have meanings. In a democracy your vote is direct. In a republic your vote is not direct but you are passing your power onto representatives who will wield and control your power on your behalf.

Because the United States is not a democracy, it’s a constitutional republic. A constitutional republic that is sliding into authoritarianism and towards dictatorship.

If you would like to see an example of democracy, you should look up ancient Athens.

You really should look up the difference between a democracy and a republic

Dogwood would be white

Unfortunately, our system isn’t that much better with the fuckery in the political parties. Primary elections that set who is eligible to be elected at the national level. But that’s just garden variety authoritarianism for you.

Is the enemy both strong and weak in fascism? Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as “at the same time too strong and too weak”.

You ever notice how the Nazis talked about the Jews being at the same times in control of the entire world economy and various plots and organizations while at the same time stating that they were an inferior race that needed to be stamped out because they were too incompetent to self-govern?

So with the bucket would you use your hand to apply the water? I’m having trouble figuring that statement out.

Context is key I may have done 12 years of theological studies but I’ll be using AI to summarize this

John 8:58: This verse is found in the Gospel of John, where Jesus makes the statement “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Moses and Exodus 3:14: In the Old Testament, God revealed Himself to Moses in a burning bush, declaring, “I AM THAT I AM.” This name, often translated as “I am who I am” or “I will be who I will be,” is a declaration of God’s eternal and self-existent nature, says the Bible Gateway. Jesus’s Claim: By saying “before Abraham was, I AM,” Jesus is claiming to be the same eternal, self-existent God who revealed Himself to Moses. Context: The statement is made in the context of a discussion with Jewish leaders who were disputing his authority. Implications: This verse is a central pillar of Christian theology, affirming Jesus’s divinity and eternal nature. The Jews’ Reaction: The people who heard Jesus make this claim were shocked and disturbed, understanding that it was a direct challenge to their understanding of God’s identity.

This is what makes him not a prophet.
