See I’d argue that the deviant artists prove my point. I know tons of people locally who create art and music for a net loss and do it for the love of the game, myself included. Its not as special or deserving of riches as most people make it out to be. In my opinion art should be community building primarily and culture enriching secondarily.

I’d also argue that pottery is a mixture between art and trade though. You’re producing things people need and use, you’ve just added an artistic flare to it.

Probably. Andy Worhol was almost certainly a psyop by cointelpro to make leftism look stupid. And also to launder money.

Its stupid to have them at the level the US is doing them is what I’m saying.

The reverence for artists in our society is way overdone. I’m not just talking about the Andy Worhols and Taylor Swifts that make WAY too much money for what they give to society. I’m talking about the every day artists. People are way too excited for people who make art as a career, and many of them who complain that they are underpaid are wrong. Art is a fun thing that everyone enjoys doing. Be grateful you are able to monetize it at all.

I think theres a middle ground between millionaire and billionaire that need to die personally. You can own a shitty house in vancouver, sell it, and be a millionaire. I think somewhere around 50-100 million dollars would be a good start. Realistically though anyone who has enough money to buy their way around laws and through political issues has too much money.

I’m sure they’d be able to find enough horrible women to fill the seats of the horrible men in the US government. But I’d be willing to try it!

I dont even understand the appeal of populating mars. Like its a big red dust bowl. Like shittier than the shittiest desert. Realistically, without some seriously sci fi shit to terraform the place, why would you want to live there? Unless you like being inside for the rest of your life.

I mean its better except for every other first world country.

Look at your responses and your downvotes. Obviously nobody agrees with you. If you weren’t a moron you’d maybe look at this as an opportunity for self reflection and growth.

If that was even remotely true then the entire idea of seduction wouldn’t exist. Convincing someone who didn’t want to sleep with you to sleep with you wouldn’t be a fucking thing, you absolute moron.

Why are dudes like this.

Women are individuals who’s preferences differ from person to person. But forget all that for a second. Women are just not attracted to men who are DUMPY RUDE ASSHOLES. NOBODY IS. These dudes make so many excuses to not work on themselves.

Yeah your situation sounds a lot more frustrating than mine my friend. And you’re right, it’s more complicated than how I laid it out. But its the long form version of what the core concept I put forward was; the wealthiest of us utilizing the tariff situation to squeeze more money out of small business and working class interests.

Well a lot of maga people took it as a promise. Whether promised or not, it’s been a talking point from a lot of them that I’ve spoken to.

But those small businesses have the option to pass those losses onto the consumer, and with blanket effects like tariffs it happens across the board. I own a small construction business, this is what happens when inflation goes crazy for my pricing anyway and it has never made my business not competitive for pricing before.

Well I don’t live in the US so I don’t have to do that stupid shit. Bit for american consumers, that wasn’t what was fucking promised. What was promised was a cheque from the government as a reward for enduring the tariff situation. Instead what they got was screwed.

I thought lobo was the villain. Is lobo a sex trafficker in this movie?

The issue being that when these companies imported their goods they passed on the cost of tariffs to the consumer. And then they were reimbursed for the tariff by the government. So essentially this is the consumer giving those companies more money, but with extra steps to try to trick consumers into believing they didn’t.

I love this style of “old man shakes fist at kids internet lingo” posting because its exactly how I feel.
