Is Fox news unironically the best place to learn about your new favorite social dem?

I love how "socialism" is a smear in a country that has "e pluribus unum" on its money. Unum, only up to a point, I guess.

That’s it. That’s the campaign ad.

$30 minimum wage and two parent households might be able to raise their child themselves

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 22 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Ok, so these are the promises. Now actually... you know...

Anyone taking bets yet on how long it will be before he gets "disappeared"?

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I am pretty sure whoever really Luigied Brian Thompson will Luigi any conspirators.

But in all seriousness, he needs a major security detail at all times, and he needs to be pragmatic about public appearances.

I bet it won't happen, or at least not until 2030. A perpetual "this person won't vanish" is really difficult to say with confidence.

USD$30 is a pretty good minimum wage. That's almost twice as much as I made at my first full-time job.

Was it in New York and was it recently?

It may or may not compare, I guess. Hard to tell.

Edit: with inflation and location in mind

Free advertisement when you can get it right in their heads

Hey Foxies, how would you like to have an easier life?

[–] DerArzt@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

But how are you gonna pay for it????!??!?!;)!?!?! Raising taxes? (Insert smug face thinking the speaker just played their Trump card)

/S

"No way. It's only fair if everyone has as miserable of a life as I have!"

Imagine painting no cost childcare and $30 minimum wage as something bad. Ugh. Those poor rich people are gonna be slightly less rich!

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I don't think rich people will be slightly less rich.

Free child care is a no-brainer. More people working, more productivity, more taxes, et cetera.

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 hours ago

Yeah but that's in the future! They want their quarterly profits to looks good NOW.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Free child care might inspire adults to have more kids. Even more people working, more productivity, etc.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 10 points 7 hours ago

We are not doing common sense approaches to fertility. We are only restricting things and then acting surprised when it backfires. Kind of like Russia is doing. Odd.

TFW your government literally just hooked a brain dead pregnant woman up to life support against the wishes of her family, to force her to give birth, but somehow tries to paint political promises of baby baskets for newborns as dystopian nightmare fuel.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 44 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Wasn't the baby just delivered a few days ago, very premature? Wasn't it also known that it had hydrocephaly? (both things not very compatible with life)

Using a braindead woman and her braindead premature fetus as political football against the wishes of her family.

That's so evil it's a fucking cartoon. Like twirl your moustache, give an evil laugh, and then steal a blind person's cane while jaywalking.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 25 points 10 hours ago

And forced the family to pay for it all. Pure fucking evil.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 24 points 10 hours ago

Not sure about hydrocephalus, but it was delivered at the earliest point the hospital was willing to do. The chances of the baby surviving are low regardless of other complications like that.

I learned after, the mother was literally rotting on the table. This was only done because it was a black woman without the resources to fight back.
