You need to devise a system with less friction when returning stolen wealth. Since Firefly is science fiction, can America do away with money completely to make that happen? I think it could be done, but the cheaters would fight that change even harder than they fight to hold on to money they steal under the present system, the one they have been building all their lives.

He's talking about Socialism.

Funny how rich people always talk about how bad they want it.

Super easy to virtue signal about it when they know it will never happen. It allows them to hold on to their riches and live with themselves at the same time.

The Vietnam War was fought because Republicans (and Democrats who would eventually switch to being Republicans) were fiercely against Communism. How did that war end for the U.S., 6ix? Just how Commie is Vietnam today? My answers are 1) Badly and 2) You wouldn't know they were Commies today. All it took to turn Vietnam around was for Republicans to get their dumb asses kicked out of Vietnam.

Senator Joe McCarthy was famous for falsely accusing Democrats of being Communists. Who was Joe McCarthy's lawyer? Roy Cohn, who became Trump's lawyer after McCarthy drank himself to death. After leaving McCarthy, Cohn had a 30-year career as an attorney in New York City. His clients included Donald Trump and Mafia figures Tony Salerno, Carmine Galante, and John Gotti.

California is already gone. If Texas goes, it could cost Trump the electoral college.

Trump HAS to make the OPEC+ production cut work, even if it means guaranteeing that the cuts Mexico refused to make will be made by the US instead.

As governors across the country fell into line in recent weeks, South Dakota’s top elected leader stood firm: There would be no statewide order to stay home.

But now South Dakota is home to one of the largest single coronavirus clusters anywhere in the United States, with more than 300 workers at a giant ­pork-processing plant falling ill. With the case numbers continuing to spike, the company was forced to announce the indefinite closure of the facility Sunday, threatening the U.S. food supply.

Well, maybe Texas is in play anyway as the OPEC++ deal collapses along with WTI (West Texas intermediate) prices ... but only if the dems get rid of Biden.

"Oil prices cratered today - completely shrugging off the OPEC+ deal as if it never happened - following IMF slashing global growth expectations and the Saudis launching a price war (heavily discounting crude). WTI broke below $20 and Brent below $30"

We regret to inform you that Democrats are in array. It is only April, but Joe Biden is the presumptive presidential nominee, and nearly all of the major figures within the Democratic Party are aligning behind his candidacy. Actors from across the coalition are behaving rationally and refusing to let the perfect be the enemy of the good, united in their shared focus on making Donald Trump a one-term president. How is this happening so smoothly? Where is the real Democratic Party hiding?

You're doing what Trump is doing -- endlessly pointing out imaginary faults in your enemies. This headline cracks me up:

Trump Relents, says States will decide when to lift restrictions

Trump “relents.” Sure. Does anyone think for even a minute that Trump ever wanted total control over reopening the economy—or any other aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic? He spent two months telling us it was no big deal, and ever since then he’s done nothing but blame it on other people. He’s blamed China. He’s blamed WHO. He’s blamed Obama. He’s blamed the states. He’s blamed unnamed experts who failed to tell him anything was going on. He’s blamed the media. He’s blamed General Motors. He’s blamed hospitals.

In the meantime, the only concrete action he’s taken has been putting Jared in charge of a dodgy airlift operation that allows him to distribute medical supplies at his personal whim.

Trump doesn’t have a clue what to do about a pandemic that can’t be removed from the front pages by simply distracting everyone with some random, outrageous comment.

One sentence is enough to describe 6ix and Trump and GOP Senators and even many millions of GOP voters: "This reflects an ideological system imbued with supremacist and eugenic reasoning that is today openly expressed through the idea of herd immunity and a willingness to sacrifice the old and weak."

"Sacrifice the old and weak" is an idea 6ix and Trump have been promoting as far as Covid-19.

Though it's a very NAZI thing. But yanno, if you're going to make them die anyway, why not extract as much out of them as possible before AND after death! So JACK can get his sense of entitlement fulfilled.

6ix, let me help you out with the word eugenics:

Eugenics is a set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population, typically by excluding people and groups judged to be inferior, and promoting those judged to be superior.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics

It happens that Republicans I know, maybe even you, think they are "superior" eugenically, while believing Democrats, especially the ones that look like Obama, are "inferior" eugenically. For my favorite example of a Republican joke: "What do you call a nigger with half a brain?" Sometimes the answer is "Gifted." Sometimes "Obama."

The Republicans I know hate Obama for going to Harvard Law School and unfairly taking the place that rightfully belonged to a white. #GOP_vehemently_denies_being_racist_LOL

What polling model? You voted for Trump, a well-known criminal. That's the model. Rich Republicans knew why they voted for a crook -- Trump would make them richer. But the rich think carefully about Trump's ulterior motives and they read the small print on contracts. Poorer Republicans don't read before they sign. That inattention to crucial details about who Trump is and what he will be motivated to actually do once in office keeps them poor. 6ix wrote, "Nobody gives a shit." Correction: Poor Trump voters don't give a shit. Vote for Trump, 6ix, because I will benefit.

Any reasonably intelligent reader could blow that generalization apart in the time it takes to write it. But as with most generalizations, a truth lies behind it. Ultimately, what binds the rich together is that they have more money, lots more. For one reason or another, the poor don’t have enough of it. But poverty doesn’t bind the poor together as much as wealth and the need to protect it bind the rich. If it did, we would hear the rattle of tumbrels in the streets. One hears mutterings, but the chains have not yet been shed.
