The current crony capitalist model and concentration of corporate power as well as taking any guardrails off the whole lobbying thing has been championed by the right for as long as I can remember and they have been wildly successful at it.

Go thank/wag your finger at GOP reps and the shitty right wing judges who make up the majority on the Supreme Court for the current state of affairs related to how much power and influence these corporate assholes have.

If you're arguing with someone who thinks being a public company makes it MORE shadier then I don't know what to say. Private companies are just as, if not - more profit driven lmao.

Can't have laissez faire capitalism lololol

I take it you were born after the 90’s because the biggest gifts of corporate power were provided by a democrat Bill Clinton. Just because they don’t talk about it every law Trump has used or trampled on was left in place by democrat govts

What he was trying to explain is that publicly traded companies are legally obligated to put profits for share holders over everything else. Private corporations could be just as shady but they aren’t legally obligated to be that way.

Private entities have much more freedom to be "shadier" than a publicly traded entity. If you're privately held, there's less exposure to financial regulators. Additionally, PE firms moving into healthcare are MUCH more profit driven than say Pfizer. It someone took Pfizer private then yeah it would be end times.

Without saying any names or pointing fingers.....I, as a republican voter and someone who didn't put a vaccine in my body
At this point Im ok with anti-vaxers not vaccinating their kids. Evolution will sort them out soon enough. Fuck'em They will find out just like all those MAGA farmers crying for a bailout right now. You are gonna get exactly what you voted for.

Let that retarded worm brained idiot continue to convince idiots that tylenol causes autism lol. Im sure they will do the research and come to accept their pre-conceived conclusions. Fuck'em.

I will worry about my kid and my family and that's all I can do at this point. My sympathy meter is at an all time low.
Prime example of Trump Derangement Syndrome right here. Let it go brother.....let it go. lol

Go back to coloring inside of the lines. 👍

You be you bro.
I mean I'm pretty sure over half of you here don't really want me to be....."me" lol

Still love ya brother. I think it's healthy to have good arguments/debates without throwing tantrums.

Some on here take it too seriously and some can talk about with a little smack but still be respectful. 👍

It's what one gets when one has a mentally-defective moron in charge of "health."
Even the Boss Creature said of him: "Bobby's different, and we like having someone different."
Boss Creature will of course not have to deal with any of Bobby's different opinions in the real world.

I was born well before the 90’s and your statement implying Clinton and current Democrats are largely cosplaying Rockefeller Republicans serves only to prove my point. The legislatures that Clinton was working with were controlled by the GOP and the Supreme Court has been dominated by right wing judges with extreme views for the better part of a decade.

Anyhow, the US in its current state is a right wing project that has gone completely off the rails. The construction of said right wing project began almost immediately after FDR was elected president.

I can provide you with some good histories that support this assertion if you’re interested.

No need. We are in full agreement with everything you stated.

Bluto, what gives you that idea?

Is it that Project 2025 thing nobody had ever heard of that was just 900 pages of drivel that wasn't totally serious now being implemented piece by piece that is giving it away?

Or something else?

The government is shutdown. This is our chance, We the People, to just put in a new one while they're gone. This is it. This is our shot. With a little luck, Stephen Miller is sleeping in his coffin and we can just wheel it over to Alexandria, VA so when he wakes up he's there in time to vote for their election next month.

Leave a trail of Reese Pieces for John Fetterman to follow right back to Pennsylvania. Just like E.T.

Get 'em all out.

Drove into the city today for an appointment. It's like entering another universe coming from rural America. Masks everywhere, still. I live in a small town pretty far out from a major city and I'm not sure I've seen a mask in 2025 until today.

I miss the city about as much as I'd miss a rash on my nuts.
Halloween is in four weeks.

I live in rural NC mountain/farm country and I still see masks all over. I guess it all depends on the area.

What I find even funnier is all the Republican talk over the years of personal freedom and states rights and this current govt is shitting on both of them. Those were 2 of the bigs things that I actually agreed with conservatives about and I don’t hear almost any of them standing up and condemning these actions.

You're referencing illegal immigration enforcement? Fed surges in crime-ridden cities? Also big conservative values. No need to wonder.
They have Federal troops walking down Chicago's Michigan Avenue in the middle of the day doing absolutely nothing. Crime ridden? Are you fucking stoned?

Dear Leader should send the mask wearing Proud Boys to West Garfield Park, but there isn't really a need for that when you consider crime is down this year in Chicago and nobody asked or wants them here.

How come no fed surges in Oklahoma City? Little Rock? Memphis?

What are you referring to exactly?

Really? The president of the US just told his generals to be ready to invade American cities. They have made laws to stop US citizens from protesting a foreign country. They fined UCLA 500 million dollars. There are national guard in the countries capitol. The head of the FCC threatened action against a broadcast company because of a joke. Do I need to go on?
