  • So when Trump becomes president he can just throw all his political opponents in jail, right? It’s a presidential action.

    The USA just created a second Russia, China, North Korea, …

    Biden should take his balls in his hands and fire the republicans from office as an “official action to save the poor”, get rid of the crooked supreme court justices as an “official action to restore balance”, write a new constitution as an “official action to save the country from the brink of destruction”, and just in general clean up the laws in the country as an “official action”. No more gerrymandering, get rid of first past the post and the two party system, make the presidential election a direct vote instead of the bullshit electoral college, and so many other things.

    Do it, you fucking coward.



  • A PhD can get a much higher paying (and likely less physically difficult) job than fast food.

    That maybe be true, but they may be trying a different career, or unable to find a job in their field because of oversaturation, or whatever other reason.

    The unspoken assumption when someone is “overqualified” is that they will take a better job if the opportunity presents itself.

    Isn’t that everybody though? If a cashier in fastfood got an opportunity to become a highly-paid streamer, they’d quit their fastfood job immediately too. But I do get your point: better credentials mean better job chances, mean greater likelihood of moving a job that’s paid better.
