Apologies for trying to provide a bit of humor. I have realized the error of my old ways and am a staunch democrat ATM. Collins over Gideon was the right vote in the last election and Dems still got control of the senate. Chastising people like me isn’t going to help the Dems chances this fall.

Then smarten the fuck up. Or vote for the fascists that you love. I could care less. But your act is old, and boring. Not to mention, incredibly ignorant.
 
This is an important enough fight that anyone who isn't aligned behind the enemy is a friend. If Drew can see that voting R now would be a tragic error, good. That he can't see voting for Collins was a tragic error, whatevs, the past is gone.

We're in a fight against the 30% of the world population who wants every nation to look and act like Russia. Countries and tribes and ideologies are not as important now as that simple split: it is the world against the rump authoritarian behind of the human race that wants to drag us all back to their cave.

The house is on fire. Fight the fire, not each other.
 
Whatever. Hell vote for Susan again. I’m sick of people bitching about why things are the way they are and then make absurd statements like “Susan was the right choice.”

people voting for people like collins is why the dems will have issues, sorry for hurting your feelings drew. Sick of hearing that crap from men when your pal Susan played a huge role in ensuring womens ability to control their own body is going away. So I’m not gonna be calm about it
 
Twitter has now apparently adopted the poison pill to thwart the Elon takeover

Susan Collins supposedly was in full support of Roe V Wade and yet voted for Drunky McRapist and Catholic Whatever My Husband and Priest Say Is Fine With Me. I'd like to get Susan in a room answering questions of all the real people in Texas, Florida, Kentucky, etc. whose lives she has destroyed.

Wizards of the Coast which is Hasbro's big moneymaker increased prices by 11% across the board after posting record profits the previous year. Fuck corporate America and all it stands for.

And this is after drastically increasing the amount of product they've been releasing and their predatory economy in Magic Arena while cutting the amount of events they run.

I could go on about this and why I've basically stopped playing MTG but I won't bore y'all with my nerd s-.

Every free to play mobile player vs. player game that exists has signed on to the South Park "Freemium Isn't Free" model of monetization. It's predatory, evil, and downright disgusting.
 
I saw a claim made in another thread about M1 increasing by 40% with the implication being that it was due solely to the Covid stimulus packages. That seemed odd to me so I started looking around and found a couple of articles but nothing regarding Covid stimulus as the cause. I struggled through my macro econ class so I'm hopeful others can dumb it down for me. Is the growth in M1 due solely to the Covid stimulus packages and, if so, is it the primary driver of the current round of inflation we're experiencing as claimed in the other thread?

Here's what I found through quick Googling (I guess my ability to use Google means I'm now a learned economist /s):

"The resulting acceleration in the supply of M1 can be understood largely as banks accommodating an increase in people’s demand for money."

"This could be due to Biden's promised termination of the special capital gains tax rate that is lower than tax on regular income. So the rich are scrambling to convert their assets."
