Social programs are profitable, it costs more to take care of a problem than to prevent it.

Watch, they’ll cut everything and then they’ll somehow blame the dems for mistreating Veterans, causing huge epidemics, planes falling out of the skies, children dying, instigating genocides, and wars

Why not one trillion? I mean shit, we’re gonna need 4.5 trillion to offset the giveaway to the billionaires. 100 billion is rookie numbers.

If your premise is “The government does nothing beneficial” then cutting it makes sense 100% of the time. I wish Elon would take some time to check out Chesterton’s fence. I’ll deliberately not link that here to frustrate readers.

All it cost was two airplane-fulls of people and hundreds of peoples’ livelihoods, among other things.

Create post

Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

  • Personal appearance (“You’re fat”, “You’re ugly”)
  • Posts with little-to-no context
  • Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
  • Dick jokes, “Yo mama”, “No, you” type responses and other low effort insults
  • “Your values are bad” without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong (“I believe in capitalism” - “Well, then you must be evil” or “Fuck you you ignorant asshole”)

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.
