You could learn this internet if you decided to.

Yep, when stocks start going south, the first thing to do is lower wages/fire people and the second is heighten prices.

People shouldn't be under the idea that problems in wall street mean the rich are becoming poor. It means the rich will be less rich and the poor will lose their jobs and suffer higher prices. The GFC was proof that wall street fucks up and the rest of the population finds out.

Near my university there was an underground bakery open from 18:30 to 6:30, and whenever you were drunk or high coming out of some university party or just a night of drinking with your friends you'd end up going there and it was amazing. At a reasonable cost, some high sugar and fat pastries, or just a warm croissant, served by an immigrant man in his 50s who would call everyone nephew. All this through a tiny barred window below the earth. A wonderful thing.

There were anti Trump republicans, some even voted to impeach him, but they've all been purged or are in the process of being purged. Because now the Republican party isn't about an ideology as much as it is a messianic cult around Trump.

INB4 it's gonna be a repeat of the Wii U. A confusing, non compatible successor to a revolutionary product.

I am kind of surprised that so many people noticed the racism metaphor in Dot and Bubble but no-one (including Russell I'm guessing) noticed the uncomfortable AIDS allegory in the last episode, especially with the first queer actor for the Doctor... "While you were having fun around the universe, everywhere and everyone you were with were infected and now they're going to die"

It's unfortunate that he's lived to be 95 and still hasn't managed to swallow his ego and admit the Bosnian or Cambodian genocides happened. I guess the ideological blindness is just too strong.

I don't know how you can look at a map clearly showing the aftereffects of decades of communism and blame it on capitalism. Why would east Germany vote fascist due to rampant capitalism but the rest of Germany not do that? I just don't understand.

Destroying the subsidies that the previous governments had has made inflation worse in the short term but should improve it in the long term. He says this and people believe it, so they're powering through the bad times awaiting the better times. In a way he's in his honeymoon period, and some people like him better because he's actually following through his policies instead of being all talk.
