The Crazy SOB Actually Did it!

[RCMerchant]

One thing this crisis has driven home to me is that a disturbingly large percentage of the American electorate would be perfectly happy to see democracy wither here and all over the world as long as they have jobs and their gas is $1.50 a gallon.

How so?
I've watched democracy get stomped on over the past year while jobs have disappeared and gas shot back up to $3.50 a gallon.

Oh, Cerebus- employment has been pretty good.

f**k gas prices. Just tighten your belt. It's a war for freedom.  Dam.
Folks don't have a place to live in Ukraine. And your worried about how much it will take to drive your fat ass to McDonald's?
Gimme a break.

So you'll be just fine with cops in swat gear stopping you for no reason & going through your pockets every time you run up the street for your bag of weed?
Did you even read this?

Indy brought up the loss of democracy HERE, then made it sound like the train wreck we've been on for the past year is some how a good thing to him.
I don't know if he eats mcdonalds, but if he says mass unemployment is better than freedom, I'm going to take issue, and yes, that does mean your right to weed or the ability to walk down the street without getting stopped & frisked.

Woah- wait.  I'm still trying to wrap my brain around mass unemployment, me smoking weed, and getting frisked by cops. None of this makes a lick of sense.
Oh- and weed is legal here. And I don't drive anywhere to get my weed.

Please explain even ONE line of what you wrote. Just ONE.

Our unemployment rate, nationwide, is around 4%.
We're adding jobs at a rate not seen in decades.  Right now, if you're not working, it's pretty much because you CHOOSE not to.

Or are just stupid and no one will hire you because you're bonkers.

Then how come employers are CHOSING not to return my calls or emails?
And how is $4.00 good for democracy?

[indianasmith]

A.  Because they probably read the stuff you post here.
B.  I never said it was.

Maybe because your skills are not in demand? Or, for your age, your resume is not so great?
As far as $4.00 go- most folks will spend that much on coffee every morning.

Actually, a statement like this suggests that you believe mass unemployment & out of control inflation ARE good for democracy.
It suggests seeing everyone broke & starving is a wonderful thing as long as democracy as you believe it should look falls into your narrative.

Again, you miss my point (even though it wasn't very subtle).

Everyone else seemed to have no trouble grasping it.

Really?
So far, nobody else has reacted to except RC & myself, & RC thought it was about MacDonald's

Speaks volumes about people who think poverty is great!
