donald trump (general usa sucks thread)

Kells77

zackster Well, sorry to disappoint, but I voted yes. I have friends in the rideshare gig and I voted based on their feedback. 🤷🏼‍♀️

zackster

Kells77 I am afraid to break it to you, but your friends are actually in the FBI.

zackster

jonattonyeah

Homegrove

But what will she do for a thousand dollars?

jonattonyeah i don’t know the answer, but i’d probably pay $100 to watch.

jonattonyeah

zackster

It’ll probably pass unfortunately. It’s a daft prop if for nothing more than it requiring a 7 out of 8 mega majority to ever change it. Propositions are stupid all around. Gives pols a pass on making tough decisions and handing law generation over to an uninformed populace.

Whatever. Most of these gig companies are on borrowed time anyway. They weren’t in the black in a booming economy. Gotta pay the piper eventually.

zackster

jonattonyeah it’s designed to prevent gig workers from being able to unionize, get benefits, ex… hence the reason uber is dumping millions into it.

jonattonyeah

zackster

Oh I’m very aware of it. Something needs to be done with the Ubers and the Doordashes. If one drives a few hours and week and whatever, fine. Contract, 1099. But for those working at a full time clip, which many are, they deserve protections. But these companies are hemorrhaging money. Shafting their workers is their only option to survive (which most won’t anyway).

Kells77

zackster 😂 I agree that something needs to be done, but I don’t think what they currently have is the way to do it. I would like to see a different solution….something that meets in the middle.

zackster

You’re both lucky I already cast that Biden vote

btw, I do believe I was promised something in return, mr. I didn’t vote on prop 22 yet.

jonattonyeah

zackster

Say the word. And it’ll be a no on Prop 22. I’m pretty much a no on all props as I don’t think they’re a good way to govern or enact law/policy.

zackster

jonattonyeah lol fuck, a heavy decision. Do I cash in now🤔

Amps read this too, what a disgrace. i’m not sure why the world isn’t up in arms over what is clearly a massive human rights violation.

How is this being reported stateside, can any of our yank brothers or sisters let us know how the facts are being received by the general public? As amps said, has the shock factor just been completely lost at this stage and nothing surprises anymore. Given a lot of those families would have been attempting illegal crossings over the border, there is a good chance a lot of those kids won’t see there parents ever again. In 2020. In the country ran by the leader of the free world.

303abuser He’s managed to lower the bar so much, it doesn’t eve register. When he’s grabbing women by the pussy and threatening to stay in power regardless of election results, everyone just assumes ‘banana republic’ and expects the behaviour that goes along with it.

Millsy

Jesus. What a bunch of utter cunts.

bosstrabs

Millsy Enough about Jonattan et al.

Kells77

-si- Given that we’re not socializing as much, it’s harder (for me) to gauge general reactions to anything these days, but in my little circle, we are all and have been thoroughly disgusted with most everything that’s gone on for the last 4 years, so…🤷🏼‍♀️ In general, I’d say Trump’s supporters will see nothing wrong with this, everyone else will feel varying degrees of sadness/disgust.

303abuser

the rest of the world should really be discussing sanctions against the states for this shit (along with the rest of their foreign policy). but of course capitalism and access to the US market will preclude that.
