Not a single person is born evil. These kids didn't just wake up one day and go "I'm gonna murder someone because it's funny". @ExistentialFear I am one of those people who believe that the vast majority of people are neither 100% good or 100% bad and that the vast majority of people have both good and bad qualities in them. But I also believe that there are SOME people out there who are pure evil and the kids in this video are proof of that. These kids aren't mentally insane. They knew full well what they were doing when they decided to run that man over. They knew full well it was 100% completely wrong. That was pure fucking evil and there's no coming back from that. There is no rehabbing them in the hopes that one day they can re-enter society. I'm not advocating for the death penalty but I also believe they should be in prison FOREVER without the possibility for parole. If they can be rehabbed, then let them be rehabbed in prison. By no means should they ever be allowed to re-enter society. Not ever. There are some crimes so heinous that there's just absolutely no way they should ever be forgiven. This is one of them. --- I think The Simpsons is still awesome and I'm not afraid to say it. Black lives matter | I stand with Ukraine |

My fellow Americans, people will try and argue that Im unfit for office, but as you can see, Im feeling younger than ever, said the 80-year-old Biden, who then struggled to work his mouth into a flirty pout after various cosmetic procedures left him with overly tight skin and lips and cheeks swollen with filler. While Republicans say I should retire, I promise you, Im not going anywhere. In many ways, I still feel like a teenager! And I look like one, too.

When the trailer came out for the movie and they showed the feet and hands of Tokka and Rahzar (they didn't show their entire bodies) me and my friends all thought it was gonna be Bebop and Rocksteady. Imagine our disappointment when we saw the movie and finding out they that were not, in fact, Bebop and Rocksteady. I mean, we all somewhat suspected that they weren't Bebop and Rocksteady when the feet and hands shown in the trailer clearly didn't match Bebop and Rocksteady's feet and hands but DAMMIT we were hoping that they were still Bebop and Rocksteady and that New Line Cinema had changed their looks just a tad from the cartoon. Bottom line is that New Line Cinema clearly wanted millions of kids to believe that the glimpses shown in the trailer were Bebop and Rocksteady. I guess they succeeded. --- Sit-up champion of the 27th century. #BlackLivesMatter #IStandWithUkraine |

Topic | Think America is on the decline? Think again! |
The_Sock 06/04/23 4:23:21 PM #4 | The demographic problem hopelessly plaguing many other countries is much smaller in America, which has a younger population and a higher fertility rate than other rich countries. Americans still work more hours than most Europeans or Japanese, and the hours they put in are, on average, more valuable than those of labor forces elsewhere. Despite millions of (mostly) men making a beeline for the labor market exits, the United States has proportionately added more workers this century than its peers. Still, the number of prime-age American men out of work is rising and is higher than in most European countries. Some reasons men arent working include opioids, manufacturing decline, mental illness, and defective care for returning soldiers. They indicate that despite the nations economic success, not all is well. The United States has deeper financial markets, issues the worlds preferred money, has more funds available for venture capital, and fewer rigid labor laws, which allows its world-class managers to hire and fire at need. It is home to the best universities, which still attract the smartest minds from across the world, and dominates innovation; the Silicon Valley powerhouse unquestionably upped Americans productivity in the 2010s, its recent spout with banking failures and Californian exodus aside. How to account for this negativity bias? One gut-fueled answer is that the numbers are wrong. The stats showing the marvels of the U.S. economy just arent correctthink mismeasurement or corrupt statisticians. Another is that recent bias clouds our judgment: we forget the pains of the good old days and romanticize how glorious they really were. There is always something bad somewhere that we can hone in on and conclude that, therefore, things are going in the wrong direction. Bad things happening in front of ones eyes or slapped on newspaper headlines can overshadow the gradual improvement of most things going well or moving in the right direction. Monetary economists often talk about money illusion, where sticker shocks at the store give us the impression that we are poorer simply because the numbers are biggereven if our wages kept pace with inflation or even exceeded it, which they historically have done. If prices in aggregate increased by roughly 8 percent last year, but the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment raised benefits by 8.7 percent, it takes a lot of statistical wiggling to conclude that pensioners therefore are (much) worse off. The grand irony, concludes a story from The Economist, is that knee-jerk reactions from a political class obsessed with the decline that they think they see may create that very decline: Most of these potentially self-harming policies have their roots in a declinist view that, economically at least, simply does not reflect the facts. The diagnoses are that China is getting ahead, or that immigrants are a menace, that large corporations are bastions of woke power and free trade a form of treachery. Disaster and declinism, as appealing and captivating as they are on a personal level and as persuasive and all-encompassing they become in the political arena, remain poor guides to the modern world. --- Sit-up champion of the 27th century. #BlackLivesMatter #IStandWithUkraine |
Topic | Think America is on the decline? Think again! |
The_Sock 06/04/23 4:20:14 PM #1 | https://www.humanprogress.org/dear-americans-define-worse-off/ The United States is doing quite well. You wouldnt know it if you read the headlines, listened to the bombastic political disputes, or even asked Americans. In a March poll, a majority of Americans had low confidence that life would be better for their children. A CNN poll published in April showed that less than a third of respondents would call economic conditions good. A McKinsey survey released in December fully captured the negative sentiment, with pessimism cut across all income groups and demographics: Americans are feeling opportunity slipping away. In stark contrast, The Economist (https://tinyurl.com/mrp984p5) in April ran a cover story in a diametrically different flavor, pointing to all the good things happening in America. Yes, you read that right. In between the bank collapses, looming recession, runaway national debt, culture wars, political sandbox, Trump obsession in both political camps, shootings, opioid epidemic, runaway costs for food and health care, millions of men out of the labor force, fears of nuclear conflict, etc., there are fundamentally good things going on. The magazines editors and contributors arent trying to brush over the troublesin slanted whataboutism or the style of the everything is fine meme (a carefree dog in a room engulfed in flames). Rather, they are trying to balance the overharsh thrashing that American life, economy, and society have endured recently. One strategy used by those of us trained in history to trivialize the present is to look back far enough. Compared to the miserable toil and pain that was most of humanitys plight until recently, our present ills look quaint. Striving to get work-life balance right? Struggling to make ends meet? Energy bill unusually large this year? Try having three failed harvests in a row, starving to the point that you boil the leather off your shoes for evening soup; watch nature take most of your children; or huddle together for shared body heat since there is precious little fuel to stave off the winter cold. The list of ills troubling Americans in 2023 is astonishingly long and of a different kind altogether. But in strictly economic terms, its much harder to see what millions of Americans are so pessimistic about. U.S. unemployment is around record-low levels. Real earnings, while theyve come down from the recent years pandemic-infused turbulence, are on par with pre-pandemic levels, noticeably higher than ever before. Inflationa nominal rather than real metric that worries households much more than it does economistsis also coming down. The U.S. economy, as a share of the G7an international grouping of the United States and seven other rich economiesis larger than it was 30 years ago. Adjusted for purchasing power, only those in ber-rich petrostates and financial hubs enjoy a higher income per person, concludes The Economist. The poorest states in the United States are on par with the richest European countries. The stylized facts about U.S. and European economiesfound in economics textbooks or old social policy reportsused to be that Americans work harder and longer for higher income, but Europeans live better lives with better social safety nets. These days even that seems to be changing, as the U.S. welfare state is approaching European levels both in comprehensiveness and total spending. Richer Americans spend more of their resources, public and private, on social ills. According to Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development statistics, government social spending (as a share of gross domestic product) is above Australia, Iceland, and Norway, trailing socialist Sweden and Canada only by a few percentage points. (America is second only to France when adjusting for net social spending that includes private spending and tax breaks for social purposes.) --- Sit-up champion of the 27th century. #BlackLivesMatter #IStandWithUkraine |
