People say "go woke,go broke" because it is more pithy than the slightly longer, but more accurate version, which is "Go woke, and lose a very small minority of principled consumers but make up for it by currying political favors and securing your financial position through access to literally trillions in ESG funding."

The second just doesn't have the same ring to it πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I love it when a plan comes together.

It will be.

This was the end game for cryptocurrency and Satoshi was a three letter agncy.

Change my mind.

It's wild how quickly the left kicked women to the curb once they felt they were expendable politically.

The pendulum of history stops for no one.

Good times make for weak men. Weak men make for hard times. Hard times make for strong men. Strong men make for good times.

It never stops.

> Were the opposition to match tit-for-tat these Democratic means, then the republic would not survive...

Imagine thinking that the cesspool in DC is holding the country together in any meaningful way.

The Republic would survive, but maybe not the two party system.

If you go back 1000 years to central America, there were all kinds of "experts" with literally books full of data saying that if you didn't keep on sacrificing people to the Gods, the sun would decide not to rise anymore (almost all remaining books from the time and place are about this topic). A lot of people would get very worked up if you said that maybe you didn't need to sacrifice people to keep the sun from rising. I'm sure they'd explain in detail what would happen if the sun stopped rising and why we must continue to sacrifice people.

"Gee golly these younger generations show no loyalty and just leave jobs every 1-3 years for something better.."

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I should have remembered the myriad of similar unfulfilled promises over the last 7+ yrs..

"To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker."

- Frederick Douglass

Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power. Thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, founded in injustice and wrong, are sure to tremble, if men are allowed to reason of righteousness, temperance, and of a judgment to come in their presence.

> what is it with you people getting your shit in a bunch when someone points out politicians are shit

Because it was never about good/bad right/wrong. It has always been about power.

And holding "their guy" accountable doesn't result in more power.

Simple as.

well, that escalated quickly, really that got out of hand fast!

Say what now? I know direct messages are exposed to admins, but does this just allow you to search your own direct messages?

I think this is called a "silver lining" not "the last laugh"
