LOL. Ditch Mitch.

Thanks for the info.

And what does one do when the "leader" of the Republican party - the (ex) President- allows states to declare some businesses "non-essential" and orders them to SHUT DOWN? To put it simply for those who can't concentrate: What if the Government tells you you cannot work? The NEW LEADER of the Republican "party" is the one who made all this possible All that is for anyone that thought this asinine clown show couldn't get even more bizarre.

Not always. Have you never heard of qualified immunity? Statute of limitations? The survivors of the Rosewood massacre were, most of them children, were to afraid, being the victims of mob justice that was backed by a corrupt, racist legal system, to file suit until many years later. So...no justice for them based on a technicality? Groups are made up of individuals. That's what you keep blabbering about when it comes to corporations. Edit: And I see you still are afraid to discuss the actual subject of the thread.

You're saying you don't have skinny biceps, oversized forearms, smoke a pipe, get high of spinach, and go gaga over a woman that looks like a broomstick with legs? Go figure! Egads! You're correct again! Anyhow sneetches get steeches.

Both parties are going to be trying to outdo each other when it comes to stimulus until the dollar crashes. Until the dollar crashes socialism is going to look awesome since we can just print whatever we want.

What irritates me is when they say stuff like "The stimulus plan would boost the economy and create 100 million jobs" or "The $15 minimum wage would lift 10 million children out of poverty" like it's an indisputable fact etched in stone.

If an individual was wrongly denied a subsidy they can sue. Do you believe in group reparations?

Ummmmm....in the OP, the "liberals" that the Trump appointed justice joined voted to strike down a gun law. I can see why Anti Federalist considers enhanced_deficit a troll.

Let's talk about the subject of this thread. Black farmers have been the RECENT victim of discrimination in allocation of federal government farm subsidies. Do you think repairing that recent discrimination is wrong?

I believe in reparations on an individual level. If the government wronged an individual that individual should be compensated. Were all jews and their descendants compensated or just the ones that had family members affected? Were all people of oriental origin compensated in the US or just the ones that were put in concentration camps? Do you believe in group reparations?

Awesome! And kudos for Rand for sticking to his principles. I know it might have been tempting in the wake of his run in with BLM crowds last summer to just say "Screw it! You're on your own." Edit: I just realized this got passed in the KENTUCKY legislature. Rand's federal bill addressing the issue still hasn't passed. :(

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious, but you are making a lot of sense.

I agree with you about the World War II propaganda when it came to the Japanese. But America wasn't at war with any African countries. In fact we were allied WITH the African country of Ethiopia against Italy. Yet Africans and African Americans were treated as poorly as the Japanese before, during and for a while after both World Wars. I agree with you that there were different cultural norms. I am glad those norms changed. It would be interesting to know the publication dates of the offensive Dr. Seuss books as compared to the Lorax and the Sneeds. Interesting observation of the Sneeds and cancel culture of calling the stars "old fashioned." Certainly there is a cultural aspect going on. The interesting thing is that the "star / no-star" style went in and out of fashion. (Like bell bottoms coming back?) From that perspective The Sneeds could address things other than just race, although I looked at it strictly from a race lens possibly due to my own experience.

Ah. I see. So it wasn't that there wasn't outrage. It's that the outraged people weren't so vocal. I'm surprised they haven't forced Anthony Hopkins and Jody Foster issue a public apology. That said, it's also strange that the idea of "just let adults do what they want with their body" is such a difficult concept. The idea that Buffalo Bill so desparately wanted a sex change that he became a mass murderer after failing the psychological qualifier is as nuts as the current situation of the dad having to fight in court to keep his ex wife from pushing hormone blockers on their son. Rand Paul is right. This isn't complicated. There is no "nuance" here.

LOL

Nope. I'm just not going to pretend that corporations are no different than individuals. You can have a corporation of one individual. Why is that so hard for you to understand? That said, I have nothing against anarchists. You can have civilization without what we call government. You also can have government without having corporations. You can't have corporations without government. A corporation is a government charter. It makes zero sense to say that an entity that has been granted a government license should not have an restrictions placed on that license. You don't like those restrictions? Don't take the license. Just be a partnership.

We disagree. Reparations to the Jews from the Germans for what was done to them was proper. Same for Japanese for what happened to them in the internment camps. Same for the reparations the Jews got from Egypt in Exodus. I disagree with the reparations the Hatians had to give the French after their revolution. I disagree with the reparations the U.S. Congress gave Ford and GM (more corporations) because the allies bombed their Nazi German factories. Reparations for the survivors of the Rosewood Florida massacre and ethnic cleansing was proper. I'm not sure the OP could really even be called reparations. If the system has STILL been titled towards white farmers, fixing that so that all farmers have access isn't reparations. It's ending discrimination. Unless all farm subsidies were ended except for black farmers, then it's not correct to say this is "stimulus for minority farmers only." Whenever money is pooled and distributed, there is a danger of one group being favored over another. Go back to the Bible and the Book of Acts. The Greeks widows were complaining that the church poor fund was being disproportionately given to the Jewish widows. So...the disciples instituted a church "affirmative action" program where they made sure there were Greek and Jewish deacons to distribute the money.

I was thinking the opposite. All the news I flip past still seem to be fixated on Trump and Evil Republicans (especially ones in Texas!). When all that inflation sends prices skyrocketing it'll be interesting to see what the news covers. Probably how evil corporations are raising prices.

Are you an anarchist?

It's not an issue of being able to declare bankruptcy. Once again you're showing that you do not understand how corporations work. I'm getting tired of explaining that to you over and over again.

What's really disappointing to me about this whole subject, from the right or the left, is that there is no nuance. There is no concept of the fact that people change over time nor is there any thought given to the fact that the same people can hold contradictory ideas. This is Dr. Seuss. It wasn't one of his books, but it was advertisement that he drew from the "Flit" product. Clearly ^that is racist. This is also Dr. Seuss.

If corporations couldn't declare bankruptcy, they'd be ok in your book?

I agree, those things should be abolished. As long as you aren't in favor of any type of reparations for simply belonging to a group then we agree.

LOL. Dr. Seuss is only relevant these days to the parents who encourage their children to watch PBS Kids. So.....liberals are responsible for the rise in hate crimes against Asians. And this was on Hannity? Yeah...makes sense.

And I agree with you on this as well. There are lots of departments, subsidies, government licenses etc that need to be abolished.

You understand that TheTexan is usually being sarcastic right? As for moral superiority, that would be jackasses running around complaining about little people getting a handout and then turning a blind eye when big corporations get a hand out. Furthermore when individuals get together without a government license that is called a PARTNERSHIP and NOT a corporation. You can have a corporation of ONE PERSON! It's about a GOVERNMENT granted privilege which allows growth while limiting the rights of other people to sue you. I've explained this to you ad naeaum. You're being wilfully ignorant at this point.

Straw man argument that has NOTHING to do with the irrefutable facts I just presented to you. The farm subsidy program is an example of systemic racism and crony capitalism and should be abolished period. Talk about that and don't try to change the subject.

Why NOT unleash one? Turmoil is the politicians game - always has been. Do note how it's always one thing after another, how we are never left in peace now. Does anyone here think this is mere coincidence, or some new necessity of reality? My suspicions come closer toconfirmation by the day: Theye are sowing endless strife and minor chaos in pursuit of the goal of wearing us down - wearying us so that when they finally make THE move, we will no longer care. It is a combination of acclimation to insanity and wearing us out so that we no longer have in us any fight. Consider the starfish. Not particularly strong when compared with a clam, but they are able to apply their meager pressures for extended periods. They latch on to a clam and put just a small pressure upon them. The mightier clam, wel... clams up as the saying goes, and in a couple of hours is exhausted, becomes incapable of further resistance, and succumbs.

Black people aren't poor because of white people. If that were true blacks would be wealthier in areas where the percentage of whites is lower.
