Very loose.We have Social Security and Medicare. Both are loose forms of socialism.
I wish that too.I wish we could adopt the Nordic model.

@Juan -- They should (everybody should actually) seriously consider learning how to nebulize various natural substances, such as hydrogen peroxide, iodine, NAC, Vitamin C, glutathione, colloidal silver, antiviral teas, etc. If everybody would learn how to do these things, COVID-19 could quickly become a non-factor, especially if a person was already regularly supplementing with Vit. D, NAC, etc. -- IMHO of course.At work and also in my neighbourhood there are more and more people getting COVID-19 again.
The grotesque inequality embodied by Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg is a threat to democracy | Jeff Sparrow | The GuardianMusk brought the wrong piece of bathroom porcelain with him into the Twitter lobby.
Just waiting for the flush.
I wouldn't even mind the extreme wealth of these guys if they would just pay the same percentage of taxes as most middle class Americans. But no, they give a few hundred million dollars to puppet legislators who then reduce their taxes to almost zero--or less. Talk about a massive return on investment--for only a few hundred million...
Agree - Many of the rich have tax-free charitable trusts where the funds earn interest, but often not a dime is actually given to charity.I wouldn't even mind the extreme wealth of these guys if they would just pay the same percentage of taxes as most middle class Americans.
I thought I read that Nancy Pelosi and her husband were worth over 200 million and he has probably done some insider trading relating to information from his wife.I wouldn't even mind the extreme wealth of these guys if they would just pay the same percentage of taxes as most middle class Americans.

That's a lot of money. I'm surprised you didn't work there longer.Many years ago, I was offered a logic think tank position for $300,000 a year with a free duplex and car to be offered after one year. I did this for 6 months, because others within the institution were extremists. Extremism thoughts hurt others and societies.
In Europe Big Tech is not paying taxes either. They must have all EU politicians in Brussels on the payroll.I wouldn't even mind the extreme wealth of these guys if they would just pay the same percentage of taxes as most middle class Americans.

But didn't you hear he caused an insurrection!Donald Trump had a lifetime ban from Twitter lifted, after Twitter's new owner Elon Musk ran a poll that resulted in 52% voting to reinstate Trump's membership. Trump had been banned for 22 months.
Trump, although appreciative, has no plans to actively participate on Twitter, due to his own social media platform, Truth Social.
Musk has also lifted the bans on others, such as Kathy Griffin.
The liberal media is very unhappy about Trump being reinstated.
The so called liberal media LOVES Trump. The coverage of Trump makes them money and that's all they care about. There is no liberal media on TV. If there was, they would have people like Max Blumenthal and Glen Greenwald on their shows but they don't. All they seem to invite on their shows are a bunch of washed up neocons from the GW Bush administration. What a joke! All the so called liberals in Congress vote for every war and defense budget that comes down the pike and all are in favor of censorship. Doesn't sound very liberal to me.Donald Trump had a lifetime ban from Twitter lifted, after Twitter's new owner Elon Musk ran a poll that resulted in 52% voting to reinstate Trump's membership.

I doubt Biden picked her, the powers that be picked both of those idiots because they knew they would be good puppets.Our Vice President, Kamala Harris got her start in politics by becoming the mistress of womanizer Willie Brown, a man twice her age that was the most powerful politician in California politics some 25 years ago. He gave her plush government jobs, at the expense of California taxpayers. Her record as VP during the Biden administration is a disgrace.
It is hard to believe, but she is the person who will replace Biden if he cannot continue to function as the President.
Selecting her as his VP may be the smartest move that Biden has ever pulled because there are very few if any high-level politicians that are worse than him, and Harris is probably the least competent of them all.
No politician will ever go to jail. If that were true, Bush, Bush, and Cheney would have been hung at The Hague for war crimes. Personally I doubt Trump did anything wrong. I think they're after him because he couldn't keep his mouth shut.Sorry to disappoint anybody, but Trump won't be going to prison anytime soon, and Biden is going to be in for the worst two years of his political life if he is even aware enough to know it, which I doubt that he is.
The gullible people who believed Biden's lies about giving them Student Loan Debt Forgiveness, at the American taxpayers' expense, are going to be disappointed, as well.
What about the welfare money that both parties give to the banks, big business and Ukraine? The US just handed over another 30 billion to Ukraine, 900 million for health care! But the US won't give its own people health care. The US also gives Israel billions for their citizens' health care, are you ok with that?I thought I read that Nancy Pelosi and her husband were worth over 200 million and he has probably done some insider trading relating to information from his wife.
Democrats giving away welfare money and running up our national debt is not the answer either. I agree there is some inequality issues in our country.
That's a lot of money. I'm surprised you didn't work there longer.
People pay into Social Security and Medicare all their lives. It's not welfare.Very loose.
I wish that too.
A limited poll set up by a lunatic like Elon Musk... that's what I call "democrazy"!!!after Twitter's new owner Elon Musk ran a poll that resulted in 52% voting to reinstate Trump's membership.
There are no true leftists in the Democratic Party. All sold out to the DNC. As I've said before, very few politicians go to prison. If that were true, Bush, Bush Jr., Cheney, Obama, and Biden would be in front of The Hague for war crimes.Now that the Mar-a-Lago case is going nowhere, Trump is back on Twitter, Republicans who now control the House are going to block Biden on bad things that might try to do, Student Loan Debt Forgiveness will never happen under Biden, recently released Trump Jan 6 Tweets show that he did not promote or incite violence, and Hunter Biden will probably be investigated, it is very clear that the sore-loser leftist Democrats have lost their platform and are devastated.
Trump is not going to prison. One more time: Trump is NOT going to prison.
Let that sink in.

Thank you. The leader who was the least war-like, Donald Trump, compared to those mentioned, is the one that has been attacked the most, relentlessly. I have gotten to the point, that I'm just disgusted with those who prefer warmakers to peaceful politicians.There are no true leftists in the Democratic Party. All sold out to the DNC.

I'm not aware of the Dumbocraps giving out any goodies unless I guess you're the Azov Nazi battalion in Ukraine, a bank, or the defense contractor.Crypto, the latest rendition of a malady that has plagued humanity since time immorial, that somehow, some way, "you can get something for nothing." Lesson of the ages: "There ain't no free lunch!" This mindset of getting something for nothing is rampant in the U.S. political system, and is a big part of the reason for so much political discord.
Republicans: "We can give huge tax breaks to the rich, small tax breaks for everyone else, and we don't have to worry about a thing, especially that pesky thing called "debt". Democrats: "We can spend almost unlimited amounts of money on goodies for everybody. We would rather tax the rich to pay for these expenditures, but since the Republicans won't let us, we'll just have to add that pesky thing called the "national debt".
They gave out tons of money (trillions) to people during the pandemic. It was totally unnecessary, as most of the people really didn't need it (why not make it need-based). But shelling out all those trillions helped sow the seeds of the high inflation we're now dealing with. It wasn't the only cause by any means, but it did contribute. More dollars chasing same (or less then) amount of goods and services. Just doesn't work.I'm not aware of the Dumbocraps giving out any goodies
Inflation has been cooked slowly by the ECB and the FED during the last decade. They are the ones that should be held accountable for creating this mess. It is the direct consequences of zero interest rates, giving away money and printing money non-stop.They gave out tons of money (trillions) to people during the pandemic.
