Both end up turning into authoritarian oligarchy without the proper safeguards in place. For the US it's been all downhill since the Reagan administration.
It's all been downhill since the US was turned into a corporation with the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871, passed by a Republican Congress. We've accelerated with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, passed by Democrats, and the 16th amendment, passed by Republicans in Congress. The final nail in the coffin was Nixon taking us off the gold standard in 1971 where he also implemented wage/price controls, which caused record inflation. Then of course the housing crisis in 2008 where both Bush and Obama bailed out their banker friends with our money.

This is why I bring up the uniparty and central bankers. Those are the only people who have benefitted from each of those events.

This shows how little of history you know and how short sighted you are. It's obvious you have blinders permanently affixed to your face because in every thread it's always those evil rEpUbLiCaNs and bIlLiOnAiReS. Nobody else is at fault. Every single recession/depression and war was created by central bankers controlling the uniparty and they have made every single citizen of every country debt slaves to these same bankers. It transcends political parties and the petty politics you push on here daily.

I think this was done intentionally to kill all the food production.
Between this disaster, the supply chain collapse, China and Bill Gates buying up farmland, poultry being slaughtered because of a ""bird flu outbreak"", and food distribution centers and egg farms going up in smoke, it feels like we are under attack.

I am blaming both. The corporation for hiring a company known to lie to the public about public health after a disaster and the government who is helping said corporation to hide what is really going on. Not sure why you can't see this, as I've said it numerous times and referenced my past comments to show you that I've said it numerous times.
TBH that's fine, as long as you acknowledge this event didn't occur in a vacuum, there were numerous failings leading up to it from both parties as well as from Norfolk Southern. The Trump administration deregulated railway transport, Mike DeWine doesn't give a fuck about his constituents, and the Biden administration is helping push the lie that there's nothing wrong with the air and water in East Palestine.

If the workers owned the companies, they would still need to hire executives and managers to run the company.
The executives and managers would actually work on the trains and tracks themselves rather than be sequestered in some East or West coast penthouse office building. They'd be required to put their own health and safety on the line.

You accused me of not paying attention until I could use it to my benefit. My retort is that we already have people, many who we elected, to do this very job.
Okay? So maybe don't try to pretend you're an expert on the subject, or that you know for certain that no railway benefited from Obama's infrastructure bill. Because you clearly don't.

Why did they have to burn it? So instead of polluting the water and ground, which is already happening, they decided to pollute the air too.
The assumption was that it would explode and end up catching fire anyway, but in that case it would be an uncontrolled fire and cause even more damage to the surrounding area. Again, there were no good options after they put themselves in that situation.

Florida is doing just fine.
Other than DeSantis demanding menstrual data for teenage girls, banning books, and causing massive brain drain for the state in general, sure. Just keep your methed-out Florida man in Florida where he belongs, and we're square.

it's always those evil rEpUbLiCaNs and bIlLiOnAiReS
Billionaires donate to Democrats too, and the majority of the party is only effective when it comes to attacking Bernie Sanders and any policies that would benefit the working class. The two-party system was only somewhat functional when we got stuff like the New Deal out of it. At this point it's more just a race to the bottom.

so then you confirm that you arent from america?
I can confirm that you don't understand when someone is mocking you. I gave you both pictures of my outlets and my game collection (all rated by the ESRB), which was way more than you deserve. So where are your pictures confirming you live in America, hmm?

Yes, I did. I'm not going to go digging them up for you, but they're still in another thread unless a mod deleted them for some silly reason.

and you can't confirm they are yours
Well there you go, there's no proof that would be enough for you, so it was stupid of you to ask for them in the first place.

i dont pretend to live in another country to try to have some weird false sense of superiority
Neither have I. I've mentioned wanting to move out of the US before, and I did live in Germany (on a US Army base) for a brief period when I was a toddler, so maybe you just misinterpreted that. You do seem to have poor reading comprehension, along with many other conservatives here.

Finally, a breakthrough. I thought this moment would never happen. You know that the governor of Pennsylvania had to sign off on that burn and since it involved more than one state, the EPA/Biden had to sign off on it too. Between this and blowing up Nordstream2, it doesn't seem like the left really cares about the environment at all.
The executives and managers would actually work on the trains and tracks themselves rather than be sequestered in some East or West coast penthouse office building. They'd be required to put their own health and safety on the line.
Tell me you aren't a manager without telling me you aren't a manager. Coming from a manager, I don't have time to do engineering work like I did when I was an engineer. I'm busy managing people and projects, things that engineers do not have to do.
Okay? So maybe don't try to pretend you're an expert on the subject, or that you know for certain that no railway benefited from Obama's infrastructure bill. Because you clearly don't.
Well, point to me a railway that did benefit from Obama's infrastructure bill. Part of your responsibility is to prove me wrong. Instead you spend the majority of your comments calling me a big doodiehead.
The assumption was that it would explode and end up catching fire anyway, but in that case it would be an uncontrolled fire and cause even more damage to the surrounding area. Again, there were no good options after they put themselves in that situation.
And you're going to just accept the assumption of a corporation and Republican governor as gospel after spending pages railing against them. Wow. Just... wow.
Other than DeSantis demanding menstrual data for teenage girls, banning books, and causing massive brain drain for the state in general, sure. Just keep your methed-out Florida man in Florida where he belongs, and we're square.
He banned porno books from school libraries. Just because you want kids to learn how to give blowjobs, doesn't mean they should. The rest of your comment is stupid and not even worth responding to.

Speaking of Bernie. Remember when he used to rail against millionaires... until he became a millionaire. I also notice that leftists such as yourself have lost interest in millionaires too. Weird. It's like you just follow the herd mentality. At the very least, you have shown me that you refuse to question anything you see or read in corporate media.

ahh, i see im right, i can tell because you immediately threw insults at me, the common tactic when cornered, normally at this point id offer to prove you wrong, but i have multiple times but you run away every time so, it is what it is i suppose.

@AncientBoi re: :haha: ... ok, well, blithely ignoring reliable analysis, especially when it doesn't say what you want it to, is one way to go through life, I guess.

What's your take on the Department of Energy's conclusion that the COVID-19 pandemic was the result of a lab leak?

You may have plenty of other valid reasons to say that, but from the NTSB Prelim investigation report and per Glenn Kessler at WaPo, this isn't one of them.

You mean to say that this isn't Trump's fault and the government/media complex initially lied to us?
