Without an answer to that question, Bernie is just another person saying what he thinks people want to hear.

Are the other two any better? Of course not.
Yes I think that's it.

Anybody can run around promising the world.
But if you can't even convince your own team (that you yourself only halfway joined because you still consider yourself independent) to back you then how the fuck are your voters supposed to assume you can get shit done in a government with actual opponents?

You could have had a competent kick ass woman 4 years ago and this time but that would clearly be a crazy idea.

I think the news constantly saying that he didn't have an answer for that made people believe he didn't have an answer to that.
Hasn't he been saying for his whole political career to tax the rich? Taxing billionaires is literally it.

Where the fuck did the money for the space force come from? We're trillions of dollars in debt to China but we just keep spending and borrowing and making up rules. But suddenly ppl give a fuck about how the hamburger gets made? Bite me.

I’d assume Bernie would have access to wherever Trump is getting trillions in bailout money. Where’d that come from?

A printing press. We'll pay for that later.

!
The senators and representatives who would need to vote to pass legislation like that are all in the top 10%. Why would they vote to increase their own taxes and the taxes of the people who put them there? If they were going to do that, there have been plenty of chances to do it over the last several decades.

So when I said "without an answer", I should have said, "without a realistic answer". Apologies.

You vote and tell them what you want so they feel there’ll be a revolt.

Keith and Chemda were 100% correct on the startup April Fools' prank. I work in tech and can tell you that those who want to do April Fools' pranks are tone-deaf. If you are at a small startup, then you probably being paid are on borrowed money - not the time to waste a week of work to make 10 people laugh.
