They’re all a bunch of f-----, that want to walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children. And we should look them in the eye and say, ‘No, you’re not going to have our children!’

Statistically, a child is at greater risk of being sexually abused by a preacher than a member of the LGBT community

They already are

I would contend that the rich have access to more resources precisely because the poor have little to no access to resources

That makes sense in the old market before the assembly line (and now AI), but it doesn’t make sense in the post-scarcity world we live in today.

If the poor were to have access to more resources, it would then be because the rich have less access than they did prior.

Not necessarily. The poor having access to resources would actually increase the wealth at the top because then there would be more customers that can pay their bills.

because that wealth is directly the same wealth . . . that the poor do not have.

Sort of. Some resources are scarce (take uranium as an example in a situation where people bid on uranium to build a nuclear plan). However, some are not (like medicine and health insurance or housing (we can easily build more condos) or transportation (we could build metros for transit to work, but we can’t have that because the car industry bought our politicians)).

*Edit: Here’s a simplified way to think of it. Pushing down on the ceiling of the house could potentially cause it to sink into the mud. However, if we raise the foundation by putting it on stilts, it would raise up the ceiling (we even have skyscrapers in cities).

Its not a measure of the level of acceptable inequality by measuring how excessive the top is. The measurement of intolerability is how we treat billionaires at the expense how we treat those on the floor. It’s that we have billionaires AND homeless. It’s that we have billionaires who control Congress for profit at the expense of universal health insurance when all other developed nations have it.

I think its more a “we shouldn’t have billionaires right now” rather than a blanket prevention of billionaires. They are being a cancer on our politics in the bribery scheme we have from Citizens United in that they are paying politicians to prevent the American people from getting their basic needs met. The existence of billionaires isn’t inherently wrong. Hell, if we ever figure out asteroid mining, there’d be quadrillionaires. But, its the psychotic system we have of having billionaires is by them bribe the politicians to deny the people their basic needs. At this point, such behavior is parasitic.

It’s not that we shouldn’t have billionaires. Its that we have billionaires when we have people living on the streets because the rent is so ridiculous. Its that we have people dying on the streets because they cannot afford health insurance. The gravy on the shit-fest is that billionaires are actively bribing the politicians to prevent those policies from being implemented. That is the textbook recipe for guillotines.

Very much so.

The one good thing about this administration is that the cancer has been drawn out like the poison from a wound. Now, everyone can see it. This problem has been festering like a wound since the enactment of Civil Rights laws. But it has been burried. It was there. It always was. Just out of sight, thus out of mind. Look around everyone. Look at who is doing this. Never forget, and never forgive.

Damn Democrats. They goaded us into getting rid of abortion, which I want. Because of that, I almost died. Democrats and their trickery need to be confined into camps to protect people from the woke mind virus.

Maybe, but how brutal was it when we went into Afghanistan? Who did we attack when we invaded Afghanistan? Who runs that country now? For all that effort we put into getting rid of Al-Qaeda, they seem to still be running things. If I were a religious zealot, where I think my terrorism gets me into heaven, sending a message to the west in such a terrorist attack might be worth it. After all, the religious leader there is like 80-something, so he might not mind sacrificing the few years he has left for a guaranteed entry into heaven.

The cynic in me is going to bet that the Trump administration already knows an attack is coming, and they will let it happen. It’s an easy reason to implement martial law. Then, with the ongoing emergency he’ll always somehow manage to have manifest when people try to get him to give up power, he’ll let the Iranians attack. Then, another emergency is declared.

My money is on Iran enacting a terrorist attack on July 4. It isn’t just Iran’s opportunity to enact mere vengeance, but it is a convenient opportunity to have that vengeance become deeply ingrained into the mind of America for a long time to come. Where we would once have celebrated our independence, that celebration would be contaminated by a horrific attack. It’s not just about enacting petty revenge, but it’d be about sending a message for generations. Also, the date is conveniently close.
