Imo it’s more specialized/Tribal. With so many podcasters you can shop/select someone that most aligns with your political opinion. Also since Podcaster are typically less bound by PC/Public opinion then outlets like even Fox News, you can get really specific.
You want redpill? Here you go. Want somone who think the earth is flat? Here you go. Vaccine skeptic? Sure.
If you have these beliefs, why would you not trust someone who says it like it is and agrees with you?
I think buying Eggs is Illegal. (Bad Trans Egg joke)
My understanding is that he is cutting the people who promote/enforce DEI in the goverment and not those who were hired because of it.
Why would Xenon get you high? It’s a Nobel gas and should not have any chemical interaction with your body. Maybe by cutting off your oxygen supply but that isn’t how Nitrous works.

Yeah, it would be like committing crimes while fooling facial recognition to identify you as a random innocent person instead of just identifying no one.
I guess in the long run it could erode confidence in the system (I know it already misidentifies people regularly) but in the short term, innocents would suffer.
Halo 2
It’s Thanksgiving. Either a massive drop in posters due to travel or family or whoever was sending the data was similarly out.

The whirlpool logo looks too much like a halo to be a coincidence…surprised the pic doesn’t burst into flames
The problem is that it makes everything more expensive. With the alternatives costing 30% more all the domestic just raise their prices by 30% to match. Of course that gives some wiggle room for domestic to be like maybe 1% lower but basically everything shoots up because capitalism and extracting as much value as possible.
Like when the steel and aluminum tarrifs went into effect the domestic prices jumped up with it.
White people voting for the right is the problem. Like how can we go on here and blame Latinos for shifting when such a high percentage of white people voted for him? Especially when you factor in the population size and not just % left or right.
I am ashamed of my peers.
Regen breaking. My guess they can’t bake it into the brake pedal because some rules for what a break pedal is allowed to do or just bad design. Both very possible.
Hehe McDonald Trump
Not the part they are upset with. This particular example it’s with welfare. Seeing it as people getting money for not working.
A lot of people also don’t understand the benefits taxes provide as you described but not what I am talking about.
I have been thinking about this as well. I am sure there is some probelm with a spending side tax rather than income. Probably subversion of the tax. Undertable deals, street vendors, etc. With income they make the company track and get their cut before you are able to subvert anything.
Also our economy is very credit based with the use of credit cards. If taxes were all collected at point of sale there might be probelms with defaulting and who gets the money if people don’t pay.
I am not an economist. I am sure someone has thought of it already.
It’s a really hard mindset to break because at it’s surface it make sense. Especially when you focus on fringe cases.
Like I am sure there are people who abuse the system, but it’s not a good life, they don’t make that much off of it. No one is living large off welfare. The “welfare queen” stereotype had been by and large disproven, but has left a lasting effect on people’s opinion.
Personally I rather have a few $ slip through and make sure kids arn’t starving.
A big part of it is the view that the left “gives money away”. Union jobs are typically labor with long hous and their view is that “I work hard for the money I eared and my taxes go to the lazy”.
I think that’s bullshit obviously, but that is a pretty common sentiment from my experience.
DeepSeek showed you can do the same work with less cards so Nvidia is going to sell less cards.
