    So, what you are saying, is that Democrats are extremely bad at getting their own party members to vote in line with what their voters want them to accomplish? Sounds about right.

    The American legal system piles on as many, as severe as possible, charges as they can. Unless you're wealthy and privileged anyway. Their whole goal is the scare you shitless and make you accept a plea deal. Hopefully you can do probation so they can charge you for your own punishment and maybe even make a little money.

    Hey, they had to get rid of the public option part and gut the bill to get some republican support! Ignore the fact that it was still passed entirely from a down party lines vote with zero republican support. They had to make it a shitty gutted bill for some reason. It was such an accomplishment forcing everyone to get healthcare from multi billion dollar companies with fat profit margins.

    Tesla was built off the backs of the US taxpayer. It's so crazy to me that he's too dumb to realize being a toxic right winger is bad for business. He gets tax payer funds from the Democrats, his customers definitely skew left of center. I always thought Tesla was insanely over valued, but with all his bullshit and the major car manufacturers giving them competition now Tesla is bound to collapse...

    People will often ignore FHA offers or take lesser conventional offers. FHA loans fall through more often and have additional requirements on the property. I've worked in mortgage for years. Took an offer for 5k less when I sold my first home to take a conventional loan offer....

    Anyone who's dealt with real estate knows how much more likely the conventional offer is to close. In a seller sided market no one wants to take government loans.

    All the ag stuff "supporting farmers" has just been code for dumping money the way of huge corporate farms for decades. If it wasn't they'd put specific exemptions in these bills for large corporations getting the bulk of the money.

    People need to realize what's going on here. All politicians care about for ag bills is keeping food costs stable/down. Food costs are a huge deal for inflation which has so many knock on effects for the economy. They don't care how it happens. This has just led to corporate welfare for big ag. The government basically brides them and inflates their stock value so they won't gouge us to heavily.

    Big ag has gotten so good at funneling these government funds that no one can compete with them and they're now the only game in town. This is such a problem and we just seem to almost ignore it as a society. No one talks about all the reasons this is bad in political platforms, no one is making it an issue.

    I'm not a vegan, but I could find some common ground with them on some farm reform. For reasons they would not enjoy.... Chicken in America tastes like shit. Factory farming and this race to the bottom in quality of every area of food in this country have led to terrible, terrible tasting food.

    Produce, meat, and everything else at the grocery store gets bought and sold on looks, uniformity and shelf life. The few large companies competing in every market just try to make the biggest heaviest apple, chicken breast, watermelon etc that looks good. How it tastes doesn't even matter. You don't find out until you get home.

    Most people don't really notice because all they buy is food from one of th big grocery store chains and they don't offer anything else. That food quality has declined so badly. But it's been gradual so most folks don't notice it. If we had more local farmers who cared about their product, I can guarantee we wouldn't be eating such terrible tasting food with the extremely limited varieties we do. It'd probably cost more, but maybe we wouldn't be as fat and unhealthy.

    Twitter became profitable for the first time in 2018 when it reported its first-ever net income of $1.2 billion for that year. This was followed by a second consecutive year of profitability in 2019, with total revenue of $3.4 billion and a net income of $1.4 billion, which was higher than expected by many analysts.

    Twitter was making money before Elon bought it... The numbers that get thrown around now about how much money it's losing are because Elon saddled the company with the debt from his leveraged buyout. The insane yet somehow legal strategy of making the company payback the loan for it's own purchase.
