Do you mean over the course of his life or per unit time? Because the first isn’t an issue, and the second probably isn’t true.

Yes, exactly!
I think that’s a fair expectation, but I don’t think they had much trust to begin with.
Trump’s grifting his own assassination attempt. Has it even been a week? What the fuck? Is he fucking broke?
I haven’t been paying attention to the approval rating because I don’t think it’s relevant. People didn’t like Biden last time either, and I’ve spoken to registered Republicans who said they’d vote for Biden even if he was a corpse. Lots of people really don’t like Trump. Iirc, a president has only been re-elected after losing a single time in history as well, but I don’t recall the circumstances.
I think the fact that he’s the incumbent is a bigger advantage than anyone aside from him can muster, but if he steps down as soon as the election is over that’d be good.
Since the USD is considered the world reserve currency, the government is capable of doing wacky shenanigans like that. Inflation, so long as the American people are insulated from it, could theoretically be used as a way to extract wealth from other nations. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that they’re actually already doing exactly that.
That’s assuming printing money is the default solution.
I’m not operating with a model of solutions being “default” or not, so no it absolutely does not. What I’m doing is intentionally ignoring the historical context of how these systems developed to observe how they work in the present moment. Doing so allows me to understand the flaws of the model where money is viewed as a resource, rather than a pure social construct that exists in the minds of those who use it. Resources are limited by physical reality, whereas money flows like a clockwork river who’s source is infinite and who’s sink has infinite capacity. Changing the ammount of money available too much, too quickly, or in particular ways has negative consequences but it is possible. Resources don’t do that.
Resteraunts are a way of reducing disease instead of providing food
I’d say they have more to do with entertainment, but they do all of those, yes. It’s just a matter of perspective.
That’s kind of a creepy take, and a little dehumanizing, tbh. Just let people live their lives the way they want to and do what they enjoy.
Fun fact: The government doesn’t actually need to use taxes to pay for things. The amount of currency in the market isn’t fixed, and so the government actually is fully capable of “printing more money” however, this has the potential to cause rapid inflation. So, taxes are a way of reducing inflation, rather than paying for government services.
How do you figure?
So it’s uncivilized to call out someone for lying, but it’s civil to speak untruths?

She’s there to agitate, influence, draw attention, and gather power.
I don’t believe she really thinks her actions will change the minds of the people around her, but they’re not supposed to. Her words are for the people who overhear, rather than those in power.
The next time the sun is up wherever you are, go to the nearest green space, lay on the ground, and stare at the sky for about 10 minutes.
I’m not voting 3rd party this election, and I can find my own to join when it’s advantageous to do so.
The anti-Ukraine tankies?
Fuck you. Anyone who opposes resisting fascism shouldn’t call themselves either of those things.
I’ve decided I’m not re-joining the DSA.
We didn’t need them to admit it, and Bernie endorsed Biden just the other day. It wouldn’t surprise me if Biden were being pushed out the exact same way for being “too progressive.” The fact that the left wing of the DNC has been supporting him suggests this is the case.
