He flew away. For real.

I don't remember where but Jontron was asked if he had "an interesting story about losing Jaqcues" and he said he was just gone.
that doesn't sound real

The part where I was born with a Higher IQ, The part where I was genetically enabled to make better decisions at a younger age, I was able to live smarter, be smarter, instead of living a life of snapchat filters and tumblr posts.
the funniest thing about wealth disparity is that it makes people think that the people below them were born inferior in some way

and by funny i mean utterly toxic

adult swim did good by bringing jack back but they really forgeted them over in terms of not actually allowing for pacing

i guess they thought it wouldn't be a problem since all plotlines were contained in individual episodes in the original series

Yeah, but there's a difference between a "mixed economy" and "full on free stuff"
i usually don't respond to matthew seriously but im gonna make an example out of him

"free stuff" is a stupid buzzword used by people who think socialism is giving people anything they want while the poor rich people suffer in poverty. in reality, the government would be supplying people with the basic necessities to survive until they can get a job, a job that would support them well enough to eliminate the need for government welfare.

welfare has a bad stigma because of all the people who stay on welfare instead of taking a job, but honestly it's way smarter to stay on welfare than it is to get a job if you're genuinely in poverty. because wages are not guaranteed to be adequate enough to support an individual, let alone a family, and welfare usually is at least slightly better, people stay on welfare. this essentially punishes anybody who actually pursues a job in an attempt to leave poverty, so obviously a lot of people in that situation currently would, rightfully so, choose welfare. this is also the problem with socializing some aspects of the economy and leaving the tangential parts up to the will of businesses.

if jobs, no matter what they are, are able to support you better than welfare while still being enough to actually support you, more people are gonna want jobs.

tbf I wouldn't blame capitalism it's more of a "if we make the punishments stupidly severe nobody will commit it". Of course it never works out like that.
the whole "being trapped in the poverty cycle" part of not being able to pay child care is directly related to capitalism, not to mention paying child support wouldn't be such a big problem if the ability to work enough to pay for it was grantes to everybody

even if you aren't a socialist you'd have to be out of your damn mind to not at least want a mixed economy

well, moreso than it is now i guesa

In a lot of respects she's similar to Bernie although she doesn't market herself as a Democratic socialist. She's also a non-interventionist which is definitely a nice shift from Hillary. On top of that she's a decorated army vet.

On top of that, she literally stepped down from heading the DNC so that she could endorse Bernie. I think that's worth a lot of respect.
i'm ok with her not being as far to the left as bernie, in fact it might be better for getting votes in the long run. it's still a step in the right direction, and every baby step is gonna count after this presidency. just getting some socialist policies put into place is a good starting point.

She really needs to run in 2020. I would definitely vote for her.
Tulsi Gabbard 2020!
she seems interesting, what are her political views / does she have actual plans rolled out or listed? if they're any good democrats may have a chance in 2020
