politics @lemmy.world•Marjorie Taylor Greene Rages Against GOP Leadership Ahead of Looming Health Insurance Hikes: ‘Absolutely Disgusted’
3·1 year agoBest guess is that she’s frustrated with the amount you pay versus what you get back. And honestly she’s not wrong but probably mad at the wrong at the wrong people.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump imposes $100K fee on H-1B visas in new immigration action
2·1 year agoYeah, it feels like this is the price you pay officially but if you donate to a specific account your employee visas are processed without any fees
Wait, building schools and hospitals with lead? Seems like a bad idea but let’s do it. Can’t be much worse than what they have planned for us
Honestly, those two probably had a great afternoon.
The word hypernormalisation was coined by Alexei Yurchak a professor of anthropology who was born in Leningrad. He introduced the word which describes paradoxes of life during the 1970s and 1980s in the USSR. He says everyone in the Soviet Union knew the system was failing, but no one could imagine any alternative to the status quo and politicians and citizens alike were resigned to maintaining the pretense of a functioning society. Over time, the mass delusion became a self-fulfilling prophecy with everyone accepting it as the new norm rather than pretend.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump loses his mind over pushback to Qatar jet deal

You’re not wrong about the reward being earned. That’s definitely the unspoken part of it.
When I grew up religious, the conversion was that communism was a bastardization of god’s plan, so it’s inherently evil. Basically, it cannot be as pure and perfect with men in charge so it will fail every time.
You’d think they’d want to try and be more like their god and his plan for their heaven but they just reject it.

12·2 years agoI prefer the term ‘Trump Slump’ but as long as his name is attached, I’m good.

politics @lemmy.world•‘Startup Nation’ Groups Say They’re Meeting Trump Officials to Push for Deregulated ‘Freedom Cities’
7·2 years agoWhy pay a doctor to ignore it when you can just not allow him the knowledge what you’re doing to everyone for free? Or just have a general threat to all employees that you can’t blame the company for any wrongdoing?

politics @lemmy.world•Harris leads Trump in Pennsylvania — and two bellwether PA counties — exclusive poll finds
19·2 years agoThat is great news but this election is looking so close and she does not have the lead that she should. We need to get out and vote!
