Termites attacking the structural integrity of the body politic. These parasites have no constructive vision of their own. Their only mission is to make life miserable for others, for some poorly defined “sins” against an equally poorly defined cohort of “the people”.

No compromise with this set of beliefs is possible, because they keep changing the objectives and goals.

One way to know that poverty is pretty much ELIMINATED is the lack of news articles about starving kids, or starving adults, for that matter. Think about it, the media would have a FIELD DAY with anyone “legitimately starving” as that would increase the pressure to spend even more on this solved problem.

By “legitimately starving”, I’m referring to drugs/alcohol/mental illness, or being a College-Educated Woman - all of which interferes with the ability of a person to think logically enough to access the HUGE amount of services available. The cases we do hear about involving children always result in arrests, meaning the kids find much better homes.

Food is cheap, VERY CHEAP, in this country, compared to money available for these basket cases (very cheap food is also crappy, but there are some very cheap and very healthy foods that cost next to nothing too, but I talk enough about that in threads).

It’s called bread and circuses. Keep the voting parasites happy and they’ll vote for you. Success isn’t the measure they base their votes on.

The left normalizes all the evil and stupid things they desire to become reality. They run a freak like Talirico knowing he won’t win, but his schtick as a “religious” man, who talks like the far-left wacko he is, is a jumping off point for the next freak they run. It’s how we went from gays wanting to be left alone to grown men be acceptable in little girl bathrooms. It’s how New York city ended up with Mandani.

From an earlier FR post today—

“””Wearable Patch Could Deliver Automatic Aid During a Fentanyl Overdose”””

Yup let’s make it fool proof for people to keep ingesting fentanyl.

Next great idea will be to create a fentanyl injection system that keeps the addict perpetually high without overdosing.

I think by now its clear: The Democrats look at every social problem as an opportunity to launder money and increase their power.

If you ever wondered: Who hires all those college graduates with “worthless” degrees? The answer is: Non-profits & NGOs.

The left treats the homeless as performance artists who should be subsidized.

The problem with the left repeatedly trying the same failed ideas over and over again - yes, the definition of insanity - is that they refuse to learn from the past - and learn basic economics.

The hard lessons of the failed old Soviet Union, and up to 66 million dead, should have put any notions about Communism to rest.

Commies like Mamdani somehow think they are above the laws of economics and this time, with the right people, their communist policies will work.

What is unfortunate is that so many innocent people are taken down with the system.

“drink deep or taste not the pierian spring”

Was the philosophy of my high school teachers.
A half-hearted attempt to attack the opposing football line is failure.
A mixed capitalist-socialist economy is the failure of socialism.
Across many topics it was all the same.
