"Run the country like a business" ...yeah because we all know how BIG businesses treat their employees 😬

[@rhondah1587]

The notion that the U.S. government is a business is preposterous. If you want to call it anything, it's a public trust that is supposed to take in tax money and then spend it to make life better for those living in the country. It's not about making a profit or making politicians and lobbyists wealthy or giving all out tax money away as corporate welfare.

[@loki2240]

I think that started becoming really popular when W ran for POTUS. Since then, we've had multiple bailouts of big businesses and the high level executives gave themselves big bonuses after running the business into the ground. It's disturbing to me that so many people still like that idea. And that's just some surface level events that people like Riberto should be aware of. Businesses operate for profit, and it should be obvious that government shouldn't operate for profit. Government should provide services to maximize the public good, not exist to maximize profit (and who would get those profits?). Even in terms of limiting waste, again we can see that big businesses often have a lot of waste (including absurd compensation for the CEO and high level executives) that's compensated for by exploiting lower level employees, providing lower quality (and sometimes unsafe) products and/or services, buying smaller businesses and offloading debt into them, government bailouts, etc. And as Jimmy said, Trump often just didn't pay people. Big businesses have also cut costs and increased profits by shutting down or drastically reducing U.S. operations and setting up new operations in foreign countries with much cheaper labor and much less government regulation of employment and pollution. We already have problems with politicians cutting funding to programs that benefit regular people, when they want to cut costs (or give tax cuts to wealthy entities - like Trump did - and still have a balanced budget). But unlike big businesses, they can't take our money, shut down U.S. operations, and govern and exploit people in foreign countries instead. Businesses also lay off older employees and replace them with younger employees who will accept significantly lower compensation. And businesses also hire undocumented immigrants because they'll work for ridiculously low compensation. Do we want the government to cut costs by ending the programs that give public money to people with disabilities (including veterans), poor people (including children and people who are too old to work), etc.? If you cost more than you pay in taxes, the government just "lays you off?" I'm not through the call. So, I don't know if Jimmy mentioned Trump overvaluing his assets to get loans, making a lot of money through branding (including buildings and Made in China products), allegedly losing money operating a casino (he almost certainly embezzled money out of the casino). But again, it's disturbing that some people are still attracted to the approach of operating the government like a business.

[@rhondah1587]

@@loki2240 Republicans have long hailed deregulation of business and corporations would enhance the economy. The disaster we've seen when the banks were deregulated almost caused the collapse of the entire world's economy and it was all due to GW Bush's policies. Capitalism only works if it is highly regulated to keep it from eating its own consumers as well as itself from greed.

​@@loki2240bailouts are such BS. If you are bad at capitalism, you fail. And if anything is too important to fail, it shouldn't be in private hands, but run by the state. That's literally one of their jobs, to run things everyone needs.

[@jayhei869]

It baffles me that in 2024 and after the last 10 years, people are still saying "Trump would be good because he is a great business man." I'll admit that when i first Trump was running in 2015 my knee jerk reaction was "maybe he will be good since he is a successful business man and not a politician" because all I knew about him was pop culture references calling him rich. However, as soon as I saw his rhetoric and what he was running on, I was disabused of that notion. To the point that when I found out he won, I was sick to my stomach.

[@rhondah1587]

I'm old and knew who he was before 2015 and I sincerely thought people also could see it enough to keep him out of office. When he won the Electoral College, I too felt sick, sick for what was to come and he did in fact cause the country great embarrassment and literally is responsible for 100s of thousands of deaths by way of his mishandling the pandemic. His ballooning of the debt was the least of his failures as a president but enough to condemn it.

[@JakeStrange66]

Hmm, that's funny...my wages at my job - a manufacturing job - was cut - not once, but twice - while trump was in office.

[@Geekeh_UK]

Even if you believe that Trump is a highly talented and successful businessperson, why would you think that he'd run the "business" of America for the benefit of America rather than for the personal benefit of Donald J. Trump? Which is certainly what he did last time.

[@rhalfik]

They'll believe anything as long as they don't need to face their fear of "other" people. Everyone knows he made money by lying and bankrupting. They don't care if he does the same to the US as long as they see other people suffer from it as well.

[@SamClemens-id3cl]

Yes....almost all "businessmen" politicians run the country like they are a sleeper spy rigging things for businesses as opposed to average Americans, or the country as a whole But no one ever seems to notice.

[@lauriep2018]

Never mind the EIGHT bankruptcies he's filed...

[@rhondah1587]

To all the people who call themselves atheist and say trump is better, please consider if you truly wish to live in a country where you are not considered a full citizen because you are not Christian? Are you prepared to possibly be questioned about it and possibly found guilty of being disqualified for any civil rights or even citizenship? Do you want to live under an authoritarian Christian theocracy? If not, you cannot in all good conscious vote for trump. Under a country that Kamala Harris will oversee, everyone is accepted as valuable citizens. Her economic policies have been lauded by the top economists and her agenda will benefit and lift up the average worker and the disadvantaged as well.

[@anthonysmith8800]

People like Roberto are the reason Trump is still running. He couldn't cite a single policy or trait that was demonstrably positive and even afterJimmy tore his claims to shreds, he still believed they were good. He was like a cliche of a Trump fan.

[@katieheys3007]

That's also the reason why all logic and evidence won't sway them. They're in his cult.

[@567dirt8910]

His personal bankruptcy argument was terrible. His premise was that he'd be a good prez because he was a good businessman. Then, when Jimmy brought up the businesses he bankrupted the reply was, "Yeah, but not personal bankruptcies" It don't make no good sense.

[@vagabondmike5870]

No, he filed bankruptcy on 6 businesses and even though those were not personal, he was a broke ass b.

[@loki2240]

A lot of them were people who voted for "someone different," an "outsider." They didn't really know or care about policy. Contrarians were also in that group. It's frustrating, as someone who supports progressive policies and who embraces fundamental progressive principles. It's also frustrating because a lot of Americans support some progressive policies in surveys, but they don't vote based upon that alleged support.

And a lot of American "leftists" don't actually know much of anything about progressive policies or principles, socialism, social democracy, related history, etc. In fact, there are "tankies," who talk about violent revolution, when they're relatively financially secure people who won't even vote to try to facilitate what they think are better outcomes. They're not going to take on the U.S. military and law enforcement agencies in the ballot box, let alone in the streets with guns. They're not doing what they can to promote their alleged ideals and policies now, and they're not going to start or participate in any any violent revolution. They're cosplaying on social media.

Not every liberal supports banning guns. I am about as liberal on social policies as you can get. While I am not a socialist I do believe in having a very generous social safety net including tax-funded higher education, healthcare, and child & elderly care. But I do not support banning guns, even AR-15 style guns. But I do believe we need stronger safety measures to stop mass shootings and gun violence. Liberals/progressives/leftists are not monolith on guns. And, ironically, while the right claims the left is coming for their guns, no liberal/Democratic President has done so. Not Clinton, not Obama, nor Biden. It's just fear-mongering to people who just believe what they are told without verifying

[@Xynth22]

It's the same with so many issues with the Right. They just don't understand nuance, or that everything isn't black or white. So "let's have gun regulation" turns into "the left is trying ban guns".

It always confuses me that people don't see how hypocritical it is to demonize civil service "waste" when the workers get a slightly higher than "industry standard" wages or are not worked as hard as humanly possible, but are completely fine with "shrinkflation", record profits directly tied to massive layoffs, "big" industries colluding to maximize customer prices, and "shareholder value" being absolutely the only legal responsibility of executive management. As a human with logical reasoning and common human decency/empathy, I would much rather any "excess" profit go to the wages of the employees than the silver spoon, trust fund babies who are going to charge me as much as possible anyway. “The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” - John Kenneth Galbraith

So they don't do them anymore. By the time the convention takes place, the candidate is more-or-less already selected.

I don't know if we can ever reach people like Riberto - FL, but how do we convince the 30% (at least) of the electorate who've checked out of the political process altogether why they should vote? IDK, bu if we can manage even a moderate reduction in voter apathy, Republicans are toast.

As a life long progressive, look up childhood recognition of vowel sounds. Some have real difficulty in hearing the difference and/or pronouncing the difference and we all lose the ability to improve after a certain age, and (of course) some are just mispronouncing it out of hatred/bullying. The problem is that you have no possible way to determine what the actual cause is. Baseless, hyperbolic assertions for the purpose of de-legitimizing or de-humanizing the opposition and falsely propping up your narrative... Not even once... Not even to prove a point... Not even to support the moral side… Unless you don’t care at all about being part of the problem and confirming to the wilfully ignorant that they are justified in dismissing anything they don’t like as “fake news”.

So you have chosen to do exactly what the ones wanting to sew division and grab even more power want you to do, accept the false assertion they are both equivalent and not bother to even try to make an improvement by engaging in the system at all... “Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.” - George Orwell, 1984

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

Thar would mean a system shift out of the duopoly and a rewrite of all election laws. Do you think that's possible right now? If it is that would be great. Get rid of gerrymandering, redistricting, the electoral college and everything else that you connect with elections. It's a mouthful of work but if it's popular enough and there's support for a multiparty system That would be a move towards more political opinions getting influence.

[@Crispr_CAS9]

Under first past the post, there are only two options, and you must vote for one. If you don't vote for the better option, you're making a mistake.

[@VoidEmergentFox]

It depends on whether or not you believe your vote even matters. Do you really believe your vote influences the decision for who will be president? Do they really look at numbers from the public and say hmm well this one has more votes so they're the winner. If your vote is nothing but numbers on a TV, but doesn't actually decide anything then there would be no point, right?

"the best slogans and best goals" What a robust and safe space inducing thought-terminating cliché you have there!

Or is that too much of a threat to that self sustaining safe space in your own mind? "I don't have a real problem with ignorance. We are all ignorant about a variety of subjects we are not currently aware of.
