“We’re going to need the help of robots and other forms of, uhhh, I guess you could say employment,” he said, shrugging. “We’re going to be employing a lot of artificial things.”

      Then we’d have President Vance and first Mistress Kirk. This cancer is going to take a while to cut out if it doesn’t outright kill us.

        Cult leaders need charisma and couchfucker ain’t got it. He might end out pres in that hypothetical but he wouldn’t have the implied maga threat behind him Trump does so I think he’d get a lot less of the agenda pushed.

    Boomers in the 1980s: “Those damn robots took our darn jorbs”

    More people are working right now in the United States than at any other time in our history.

    The same can be said year on year every single year (except 2020) due to population and economic growth.

    What he doesn’t say is that the divergence between the average wage and the cost of living has never been greater. So, while more people are available to work, they are earning less per hour in bread and bricks than they were 5, 10, 15, 20 (etc.) years ago.

          That just goes to show how bad the US is at electing leaders. Just terrible, even when good options do exist, to the point that I still don’t fully believe Mamdani is the New York Mayor.

              That probably does something to it as well, but ok then change it to “I can’t believe that he was actually elected”.

                  I don’t take anything for granted in North America. We just elected the most obviously corrupt person to be mayor of Montréal and even the total left/right votes between the four major parties skewed significantly right because we’re stupid as hell.

            It’s because when you put a piece of ripe fruit into raw sewage it doesn’t make the sewage suddenly drinkable, but suddenly I no longer want to eat the fruit. But hey with enough fruit and time that makes a farm, idk I’m trying to be positive here. Forget aboutit

          Refusing to gargle a useless corporate dickhead that hid his critical cancer diagnosis during a crucial campaign period does not make you MAGA, wtf?

            1. He’s still alive.

            2. He’s better than Trump.

            3. Trump is the one who told you he hid the cancer diagnosis.

            4. Harris was VP and would have became the president if he died.

            All of these are facts and would have lead to a better present than now so what the fuck are you on about?

              All of those things are true. Explain how not liking him makes someone MAGA.

              Edit: wait what, in what world does Trump have anything to do with Biden’s hidden cancer diagnosis?

                  So then when are we allowed to criticize corporate guzzling Dems? You said we weren’t allowed to during an election year, and you’re saying we’re not allowed to now. So when?

                useless corporate dickhead that hid his critical cancer diagnosis during a crucial campaign period

                Its pretty obvious. If you supported things like healthcare, equality, workers rights any of the typical leftwing policies you wouldnt be reacting in this way.

          No, likely a leftist. There’s two people who hate Biden, the MAGAts and leftists. Biden did some good things but so did Trump, broken clock metaphor. Biden also slow walked us into this by not persecuting Trump for sedition like he should have. It makes the “paid opposition” argument much harder to dismiss of the neo-liberal dems.

            Biden doesnt control the DOJ. He doesnt decide how and when someone should be persecuted. Trump does this and its wrong. The list of good things Biden did is very long, with trump its maybe one or two things if that while the list for bad stuff is huge. There is no comparison.

        Nah, 1.0 was only better because he spent the whole time figuring out wtf to do. He didn’t even know he had to hire his own cabinet. 2.0 is the result of those four years of realizing the power and protection of the position, and another four of teams of knowledgeable people working hard to make sure this term would be the last they’d ever need.
