Late Stage GOP Fascists Events ๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿพ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿคก (Part 3)

I gave in to see Gary Numan in April. Less than $200 for three tickets

Most other, lesser known act I see are around $30 a ticket, with fees or less

Of course regardless of what the numbers are the entire thing is just an attempt to slam GenZ and millennials while ignoring the fact that things are terrible for them

But he canโ€™t be a dog catcher. Iโ€™m certain all animals hate him. Heโ€™d be dead within a week

ETA: I retract the statement Itโ€™s unfair to dog catchers

As if Oโ€™Keefe was fired for being โ€œcruelโ€! Thatโ€™s practically the job description.

He pissed off the person holding the purse strings.

Remember a few weeks ago how the founder of Home Depot was blasting young people as being socialists for asking for a living wage? Wellโ€ฆ

They found out others are paying more, and since the news keeps reporting a shortage of workers, they are worried about being competitive:

Walmart announced last month an average hourly wage of more than $17.50. Amazon said in September that starting pay for warehouse and delivery workers will be more than $19 an hour. And Target invested $300 million in hourly wage increases last year.

The company said the dividend payment in March will mark the 144th straight quarter it has paid a cash dividend. In 2022, the company paid out $7.79 billion in dividends to its shareholders, and spent $6.70 billion on share repurchases.

The stock has lost 13.3% over the past 12 months

At least Home Depot isnโ€™t on this list of corporations that barely pay taxes (if at all).

Ah thanks, that does indeed explain that word (and why and how, once again, theyโ€™re not actually watching out for the well-being of their โ€œassociatesโ€).

Wow! This is great. Surely Home Depot will be lauded for its actions today, Feb 21:

Oh, I was on a 2-hour Teams meeting this morning in which this was brought up as a negative for the economy and something that we should be worried about.

Other times, I have patiently brought out the Ford example (because Ford was pro-Nazi and pro-White Supremacy, so it goes down more easily with financial people) that if you pay your workers a proper wage, theyโ€™ll go out and spend it on your products. But this meeting felt much more Fox-closing-ranks than usual, so I kept my mouth shut.

if only there were some sort of way to address the shortage of workers, increase production, decrease inflation, and address our humanitarian failings at the borderโ€ฆ :thinking:

nope, canโ€™t think of anything at all

( snark not directed at you to be clear. )

In a video released Tuesday night, Ramaswamy, 37, formally launched his longshot bid by decrying what he called a โ€œnational identity crisisโ€ that he claims is driven by a left-wing ideology that has replaced โ€œfaith, patriotism and hard workโ€ with โ€œnew secular religions like COVID-ism, climate-ism and gender ideology."

โ€œWe have obsessed so much over our diversity and our difference that we forgot all the ways weโ€™re really just the same as Americans," he says.

In a Wall Street Journal editorial published at the same time, he pledged to repeal civil service protections for federal workers if he wins, as well as work to eliminate affirmative action, including directing the Justice Department to prosecute โ€œillegal race-based preferences."

So he wants to empower people who would be racist to him?
