Even if this weren't blatant self-dealing and corruption, what about the dollar amount?

1.7 fucking billion? For how many supposed victims? What is the actual measurable harm that was used to base the dollar amount on?

You can't just say National security and not explain what it means. Like what's the threat. I want to know what is a bigger threat than dep3ndence on foreign energy?

Bragging and being generally a prick about it is what will give the attention to it necessary to justify invasive government policies to stifle it.

In other words shut the fuck up before you draw attention.

Janky fork (thelemmy.club)

I bent it using it normally, but can't remember what food bent it. I was impressed with how shitty it was so I bent it back and have been keeping it around.

This shit is old and still true

From YT description; In this compelling speech before Congress, Warren Buffett delivers a strong argument for a fair tax system, calling out the growing wealth gap and the dangers of eliminating the estate tax. He warns against a society where dynastic wealth replaces meritocracy, emphasizing the need for a progressive estate tax to prevent America from turning into a plutocracy. Buffett also proposes an alternative: using estate tax revenue to support low-income households, ensuring fairness in a system that disproportionately benefits the ultra-wealthy.

Key takeaways include: ✅ Why removing the estate tax would widen economic inequality ✅ How the wealth gap has skyrocketed over the last 20 years ✅ The real impact of tax law changes on the super-rich ✅ Buffett’s proposal to support low-income families instead of eliminating the estate tax ✅ The moral and economic argument for tax fairness

This is a must-watch for anyone interested in economic policy, wealth distribution, and tax fairness. Learn directly from Warren Buffett’s insightful perspective on how to create a more just and balanced economy.

It's time. Everyone agrees the DNC is a failure for numerous reasons. It's time to stop bitching and figure out how to fix it.

How do we get people like Bernie, AOC and Jon Stewart in charge?

Scro-Totum Pole (lemmy.world)

Today I saw a totem pole made of skeletons. I tried to come up with a word for it, something like skeletotem pole and accidentally imagined a similar sounding scrotum-totem pole.

Now you are going to imagine one. Do you draw faces on them? Position them to make eyes and stretch them out?

You're welcome.
