He’s right to point out that either no alternative is offered or the alternative is just more regulated capitalism with a stronger safety net.

Theory is useless.

There’s never any real discussion of detailed fixes in this kind of complaint—because that might acknowledge we can fix the problem without overthrowing the system. There’s never any argument about how under socialism (or some other alternative economic model) public policy tradeoffs, political failures, or scarcity just wouldn’t exist.

That’s certainly a way you can describe something.

Ugh, capitalism

Eat the Liberty Bell

Whoa, if Joe Biden stops giving Israel money then Hamas will surrender and give up all the hostages???

Weird how Biden is committing a genocide while trying to get both sides to agree to a ceasefire.

I eventually graduated.

The short version - my mental health was fucked up, including a very intense anxiety I had about school.

Only leaving school, lucking into a job with good healthcare, earning enough to be independent for the first time ever, seeing a therapist AND taking medications, made me stable enough to finish.

From my basic understanding

Greater = the area including and around a city

Metro = the parts of a community within some sort of combined local government

yeah…

Like any of you teenagers actually have jobs anyway

Yeah Biden definitely should have nominated someone earlier, then that person could have been waiting for an even longer time before finally getting confirmation and that would definitely result in something being different.

No way, everyone knows that Biden can easily change all of the federal government whenever he wants to but just chooses not to because he’s a big meanie and only ever does anything so that he’s just 1% less bad than Trump.

First step - both chambers of Congress approve a draft amendment by a 2/3rds vote, or a “convention” called by the legislatures of the states (understood to mean 2/3rds of the states) adopts a draft amendment.

Then 3/4ths of the legislatures have to pass the adopted amendment, or conventions in 3/4 of the states (which a state’s legislature can call).
