I’m tired of people saying they can’t read the Constitution and decide on what it says about whether or not Trump can run. The Constitution also says a candidate must be age 35 to be President. If Trump was 24 years old instead of 77, would we be having this conversation? Why couldn’t these State officials look at the facts like his actions and age and make the call now? These people need to carry out their duties according to the Constitution and declare now that Trump is not qualified and cannot appear on the ballot. You don’t need to be a lawyer, a legal scholar, or a SCOTUS justice to figure this one out! There is more than a simple preponderance of evidence to disqualify him. A conviction beyond a reasonable doubt is NOT required. With a population of over 300 million people, surely you can find a candidate to support who doesn’t have Trump’s insurrection baggage. Or rape baggage. Or fascism baggage. Or Putin baggage. Et cetera. Et cetera. Et cetera. Only qualified candidates need apply.
Like couldn’t be that jobs don’t think we’re worth a livable wage and that they union bust or coworkers can’t be convinced to do so…like I want things better for myself but without others banding together at any job I get it never will…
No, no according to this CEO. When he was young he worked 7 days a week non stop till he got a house. Kids nowadays just don’t want to work. They want to spend $40 on avocado toast and coffee and not work. Definitely not salary growth for workers being horrible.
Yea can’t be the fact they make excess that used to be taxed appropriately that forced living wages. Not to mention greedflation on necessities like meds and groceries(not including that avocado toast which is a dumb point bc that’s cheap af). Don’t forget those like me with severe social anxiety that keeps getting worse ontop of being audhd that isn’t “high need” enough to be considered for disability or nothing(tho the latter could be me overthinking while in the middle of a autistic burnout from pandemic and other life shiz up to this point…)
The only difference him and any central bank governor is not having enough tact to use the usual polite euphemisms. The policy itself is so old that Marx came up with a term for it (“the reserve army of labour”)
He’s a billionaire and president of some financial group. His opinion directly affects hundreds. It’s not some dickhead on the street this guy wields power. You have an opinion that doesn’t matter because you aren’t in a position of actual power. This guy is.
While I hear you my complaint mostly comes from the idea that there’s a difference between awareness and outrage porn. In my experience on lemmy (and the website formally known as the front page) the tendency has been toward the latter. If we wanted to share awareness then the focus would be on an analysis on the opinions of all the dickheads with big bank accounts rather than one-off interviews. If it were about awareness there would be suggestions of materials, yt videos, and books to read. If it were about awareness then it would be about showcasing which dickheads with big bank accounts are slightly less terrible than the others so we can rally behind them to begin to affect change
If he said that nonsense to me in person i would obliterate him into a new dimension. You can tell he surrounds himself with “Yes men” because he is completely out of touch with reality.
