Pretty sure inflation is never gonna end because politicians are idiots and no one is going to say no to free money. Hope everyone owns a home and get some hard assets.

What’s in Newsom’s inflation relief proposal? $400 checks, help with rent, diesel tax pause

That’s the problem with a right wing party going populist like in Turkey or Poland (and now here). No adults in the room to remind everyone there’s no such thing as a free lunch

We have two parties who both love government spending. They just pick different beneficiaries for their largesse. SAD BIGLY

Im over the popularism catch phrases I feel the phrase is like its a residue of trump syndrome. Name me the last president that wasn't...GW bush?

Maybe uh.. who?

This is America, the whole country is based on popularity contests and it always was and always will be.

People were just trying to sling the words like demegog and popularists to try to sway people to be afraid of dictator trump and its really just how all presidents are.

Balance the budget, vote the current impostors out of the Republican Party. They are liberals and closet homosexuals like Madison cawthorn

We had a black racist do this in NYC like a week ago. Not a very strong argument you’re making unless it’s just against guns

It’s bad either way. But the hatred goes both ways. There isn’t a community in the US not moving into derangement territory with their opinions on various things

Time for persian and Hindu rule. There’s a reason why we’re all doctors and CEOs. You guys aren’t sending your best!

Other things the media is doing wrong in regards to this mass shooting other than differences in coverage length:

- Naming the shooter

- Plastering his manifesto everywhere

- describing the shooter in a neutral way, such as a “man wearing body armor and tactical gear”

- plastering the body count everywhere

This is EXACTLY what motivates these sickos to act. The media is perfectly playing into his hand, dancing the dance he wanted them to do

I can’t fault them for neutral coverage, but how I would cover the story would be like this:

“Boy coward targets vulnerable unsuspecting people in attack”

That’s it, no body count, no describing the scene like an action movie, no name of the shooter, and calling him a coward/insulting him

Do this for every mass shooting
