The number of explicit genocides were enabling has gone up by one, that's pretty shitty.

Mentioned it in my last comment but they are literally the exact opposite of what you want for money laundering.

You want to be doing hundreds of small cash transactions a day with the possibility of cash tips, not have a store where your entire inventory is on a spreadsheet and you sell two of them a month through well documented credit card transactions for prices you advertised in a full page newspaper add that went to everybody in the city.

You can't just "misplace" an $1800 item very often without getting flagged.

This gets said a lot but it doesn't actually make any sense.

If you wanted to launder money you'd set up a business that does lots of small transactions, many of them in cash. Restaurant, corner store, laundromat, car wash (fuck this is the second time I've referenced breaking bad in a real world context today). Or items with undefinable value (who's to say if that original painting is worth $20 or $1.3 mil)

What you dont want is a business that might sell one or two big ticket items a week, each one individually tracked and inventories, with a clearly labeled price tag and usually paid for with a credit card because it's too expensive to pay cash.

The markups on mattresses are just fucking ludicrous to the point where selling 10 of them at 70% off three times a year is actually a viable business strategy.

It's the same reason the world's most successful counterfeits make 1s and 5s not 20s and 100s.

My girlfriends dad was actually an interpreter who got killed in Iraq when she was like a week out from graduating high school. From everything I've heard he was legit trying to keep the peace. Her memorial tattoo for him is "hero" in Arabic from a letter from a local child he kept with him.

His body was desecrated and hung up around Baghdad.

It's very telling that not a single person said anything to her on memorial day but a chud friend of my dad went into a rant about "if you'd ever been handed a folded flag you wouldn't ever disrespect a flying one" within ear shot of her.

She does not think very highly of America or its foreign policies believe it or not.

He could try not explicitly telling them to fuck off he doesn't give a shit and he's not going to do anything to improve their lives and also theyre anti Semitic and don't know how politics works.

"Young people today want to complain about how hard they have it. Give me a break. No I'm serious I have zero sympathy." - the person they want us to vote for who definitely sees and hears us

This doesn't get brought up enough because liberals crucify you if you mention it but Biden literally said

"Young people today want to complain about how tough they have it. Give me a break. No I'm serious I have no sympathy. If you don't like the way things are you go out and change it."

Not enough is made about the fact the democratic candidates stated message to young people is "go fuck yourself specifically. I'm not doing shit for you if you want something done you go fucking do it."

If a republican politician had said something half as callous about literally any other group liberals would still be clutching their pearls about it. Instead younget linked to a snopes article that say "FALSE: He did literally say those words in that order in that context but that's not what he meant you dirty commies."

Like you literally have to be really really good at ignoring reality ro even lie to yourself effectively enough to believe that Joe Biden doesn't have open confessed contempt for you if you're left of Bush Sr.

That's setting aside the fact you have to make excuses for why fucking everything else has steadily gotten shittier for your entire lifetime.

We already got very visually completely fucked over on higher education, the job market, and home ownership and it's basically an open secret were paying into social security every month and they're just gonna end that as soon as the boomers die so we'll all be dead fucking broke because we payed for the last generations to have free government Healthcare and retirement and as a reward well get to work until we die on the job at 70.

Assuming the climate catastrophe hasn't advanced to water wars by that point.

Dems are lucky that burning down their fucking houses isn't the hot new trend among younger generations.

Yea at least chuds wink and nod at the fact they know they're despicable.

Liberals have the exact same positions but actually expect you to respect and revere them and legitimately think their useless virtue signaling actually makes them better and more moral than everybody else.

Not to jump right into the "everything is tv" stereotype but its literally why Walter White admitting that he did everyrthing he did because he liked it and it made him feel good not because he was trying to do what's right for his family was character growth because he was at least acknowledging reality and not pretending to be some kind of martyr.

I appreciate Warren because she's the most effective litmus test.

If you don't reflexively scowl in disgust when somebody mentions her name you're a liberal.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately that is way more than enough for baby brained liberal disphits.

Classic conflict.

On the one hand she sucks but "only" as much as every other billionaire and less then a lot, like at least she's not also using her platform for spreading bigotry but also she's like the poster child for climate ruining personal consumption.

But on the other hand she makes chuds incredibly mad just by existing.

So bad with confusing unintended side effects?

We could solve it overnight but America doesn't want to set the precedent of providing basic needs for its populus when you could charge for the service instead.
