Donald just received them. He did literally nothing for them. Your argument is that Fred earned them. Granting that just for the sake of argument, so? That's Fred. Not Donald. Why should anyone be entitled to hereditary lands and titles? I believe in the American ideals of self-determination, improvement, and production, not the unAmerican ones of nobility and hierarchies of humans based on immutable characteristics.


lol this is the dumbest goddam thing I’ve ever read.
 
You don't think Tiger's dad/childhood had a lot to do with that? Some people are born with the genetics to only grow to 5'. A small handful of people can be 7'. Does that make either of them more valuable? For playing basketball being 7' is better. For working in a mine being 5' is better. If the infant who could grow to 7' doesn't get proper nutrition over their formative years they're very unlikely to reach that full 7'. Point being there are myriad factors that go into someone's economic value, and we should be incentivizing people to improve their mutable skills, not rewarding immutable characteristics.

'Blah blah blah, I made an idiotic statement that everyone is born equal now I must explain it, by basically saying I'm am idiot, and no, not everyone is born equal.'

We all agree on equality of creation, and so on, but you write a lot of very stupid shit. 🙄
 

This is pretty amusing, actually, as SHE was the one one screaming about getting in the faces of republican supporters, etc. 'You make them uncomfortable' she shrieked like shinsplints.

Always have to love the full circle and Democrat idiocy.

See, eg, the judicial filibuster, defend the police, I could go on and on here.
 
A more equitable distribution of resources will provide much more equal opportunity for self-improvement through self-determination. How many people out there right now would learn more skills and retrain for better positions if they had the financial stability to do that?

And how many wouldn't do a damn thing, since AI, according to you, is going to wipe out every job?

Not to mention, they can't leave anything to beneficiaries in your utopia.

You really don't know how to think, do you? You just babble a bunch of what you think are high level vocabulary words together.

Edit: Typical of a communist/socialist/leftist.

There should be an equitable distribution of NBA roster spots. It is unfair that 6% of our population takes 80% of the spots. There must be systemic racism in play for that to happen. How is that fair? How is it equitable?
 
Could be big news coming soon. I met a guy at Subway. TLC has the scoop. Secret stuff. Looking real good in a lot of places. Votes pouring in. They say its flipping. You know, like from one side to the other. That's what they call it... flipping.

"87 registered Democrats working in editorial positions and zero Republicans. None."

NPR admits their coverage of Trump was treasonous. "What began as tough, straightforward coverage ... veered toward efforts to damage or topple Trump's presidency." "Topple" a sitting president. Treason.

I'll be sure to hold my breath before they get prosecuted...

Pravda has more diversity of opinion.
 
How many people out there right now refuse to work and/or better themselves because they are getting a free ride off of Biden's cheese?

Tell you what....go pass out Visa's to the inner city teens in Chicago and let us know how many run to the nearest trade school.

You are one delusional dolt.
So? What's the alternative to that? They die? What happens to you then when the automation comes for your job? The same as them.
 
Define equitable. And no I don't a significant number would do that. Some small percentage maybe. In any case, if they do or don't take advantage of the opportunity, it has nothing to with freedom and self-determination. The argument that taking resources to someone with more resources and giving it to someone with less resources somehow improves liberty and self-determination is contrary to very definition of those terms.
We aren't just 'free' to do whatever we'd like. Why not move to Fiji and live on the beach? Because it's too expensive. Why? Because that beautiful stretch of beach is a finite resource that's value is more than any one of us can accrue. Why not spend your time golfing or finishing that project that you really want to do? Because you have to finance that time with your production/labor. Why not eat lobster every night? Because the finite number of lobsters couldn't support the entire population doing that even if we were all billionaires. Why not fly to the moon? Because we can't fly or breathe in space. Every single person in this world has real, material constraints on them every millisecond of every day. Be they eat, drink, sleep, or piss. The more we can free ourselves from that material drudgery the better for us all. Most everyone here's old/poor enough to remember washing dishes and clothes by hand. Those who are fortunate enough to never have to do those things again because we've replaced them with machines can appreciate that blessing.
 
If you can't make it in America, modern America anywhere in the here and now, you never would've stood a chance any time or place else, no matter what advantages you lack or disadvantages beset you.


That doesn't mean things can't/shouldn't be better. But you people (socialists and communists, that is to say modern democrats) aren't the ones to do it.
As automation takes over an increasingly higher and higher percentage of the human population will fall into that never "stood a chance any time or place else, no matter what advantages you lack or disadvantages beset you" category. Eventually you will too. What then?

That's happening whether you want it to or not. Eventually work will be obsolete. For everyone. The answer isn't for the entire population to just starve at that point.
 
Just say which ones you're referring to. There's no reason to be this opaque.

I am not playing your questions followed by questions game. If you don’t know, you don’t know. Enjoy your evening.

And, let me provide your attempted bait: “well, I guess you cannot support your position.” Or, maybe you might want to bone up on some cases, because you are breaking them down all of the time as some sort of expert. Or, maybe that is a cut-and-paste or AI arguments and you don’t really know. 🤷‍♂️
