Almost none were willing to lie about having experience though.
There were very few Americans doing hangings in that time. Some of the few were wearing white robes while they did it, and would not have admitted to it.
This guy has already talked his way into the engineers Corp because he didn't want to charge machine guns and get shot at.
Snowden is living in exile in Russia.
Chealsea Manning leaked the "collateral Murder" videos during the Iraq war and had her sentence commuted by Obama. She remains a political activist and, according to Wikipedia, a DJ.
Get enough platners and AOCs through primaries and the squad becomes a battalion. The Overton window will move if the people vote for it often enough.
Just like how gay marriage tipped over 50% popularity and suddenly is became constitutional.
Sounds like your employer doesn't give you enough time to actually do the work, just barely enough to to do it "good enough."
It's probably even worse for the people you hire.
They say we are going to become worse off as population decline tightens the labor market and I am fucking here for it. Maybe when you only get 10 resumes you will be given a chance to actually read them.
Rich people can move easily, but their assets have an address. Gold sits in a vault, stocks are listed in New York. Factories have an address, land cannot be moved.
They don't have to live here to tax their wealth. If they sell everything in our country and buy assets in some other country, then assets in our country become more affordable for normal people. There is no downside, unless you think rich people are some irreplaceable assets into themselves.
Tax wealth not work.
So weird how you say we want the same things but you want me to do things that will do the opposite. Are you an accelerationist?
Early twentieth century anarchists often described themselves as libertarians. If that's what you mean, we can work together.
US libertarians believe in a state that enforces private property laws but does nothing for the general welfare, basically gangsterism.
It starts with wealth taxes. 4% per year on fortunes over 10 million.
That can be increased to a point that any fortune over 10 mil will shrink over time instead of grow.
That will democratise wealth.
Voting for a candidate because they are better than the other guy is not an enforcement of all their policies, and pretending it is is a psyop for the opposition.
I wish American Voters had memories longer than 4 years. But they don't.
They got pissed at Bush and the Republicans in 2006 for the war and in 2008 for crashing the economy.
And 2 years later in 2010 they voted in a red wave not seen since reconstruction.
Donald Trump tried to overthrow the government and 4 years later they gave him another chance. If Trump shot a crowd of people on 5th avenue the kids of the victims would vote for him 4 years later.
He's not. He's 80 years old and got going when kissing babies was good retail politics. He whispers to children because he has lost 3 of his 4 children and his first wife and he knows how precious children and families are.
California was populated by desperate people losing their farms and homes. See: grapes of Wrath.
Penny auctions happened, but they weren't the norm nationwide. The banks did forclose and people did lose their homes and sometimes abandoned them because the land was worthless during the dust bowl.
If America gets that desperate again, you will see pockets of solidarity and community and other examples of heartlessness and tragedy. We can't know how much unless it happens.
Most of us don't pay the market price hour to hour. Our electricity provider absorbs the risk of price spikes and raises our rates if the math stops working for them.
Griddy was a provider that sells at the market rate, which is usually below the general price you would pay, but you take the risk of price spikes during peak demand.
