the government regulates so much that people don't invest in the industry proper

Meaningless.

Is this problem any different than having to pay $200 for a 15min consultation with a DR?

I don't know.

Is anyone culling the herd of physicians?

This is due to meat processing being a bottleneck

| Posted by oneironaut at

A "pop-up" bottleneck that only visited as Trump became president.

Ergo we get like popup restaurants that don't follow any regulations.

Never seen one.

Ohio, where voters of all stripes express a deep sense of powerlessness.

Trump wants others powerless, and he wants them to fail.

He's a freaking narcissist. They build themselves by tearing others down.

There's no mystery here except that it took Ohio a decade to notice.

the liberals who are the most angry.

The word is "stupifaction", BILL.

Trump suckers are on the wrong side of the truth and some of them know it

All of those who come here are aware of it.

But when the truth gets in the way of the programme they disregard it.

It's been this way since the start of MAGA. They've too much invested in their various fantasies to change now.

Donald Trump is out to ruin these people's lives.

"Bad behavior has been tolerated for too long"

The irony.

Does this make sense to anyone?

Only if it's part of the continuing Trump pattern of behavior designed to leave our defenses wide open to attack.

It is reasonable to assume, based on his behavior (cyber defenses, anyone?), that Trump wants the US to be attacked. Convenient for that National Emergency, which will begin his full dictatorship.

"Nothing is above the Constitution."

I've been reading your stuff a long time, BILL.

This is not what you believe in.

Look. Donald Trump wants to unleash the military on EVERYONE. That's part of the whole dictator bag. He doesn't even have to have a sane understanding of what he means by it in this instance. His point is to assert dominance by barking.

But if he did unleash the military on the bond market it would take the form of arrests of individuals he believes thwart him, their incarceration in military bases, and then trials by military tribunals.

He's threatened all these things before, so don't look so shocked.

But he's not crazy.

"For the second time this summer, a local Republican activist, campaign worker and former candidate has been arrested and charged with multiple child sex felonies"

There is a general culture of this in Trump/MAGA. The offender no doubt assumed that he had permission and protection for this behavior, things that come from the very top.

Permission is correct. Protection? He probably can't bribe Trump sufficiently for that.

He should have planned his life better.

Release the Epstein Files, you hypocrites, so we can identify the people we really should be frightened about.

No one's interested in your bigotry or your cowardice.

Except to make note that you are bigots and cowards.

It's about radical Islam hating me and you.

Christian Nationalism hates me, BILL.

You serve them lemonade and cookies.

Do you think that if a kid got COVID and measles at the same time, he would die?

Soon to become a thing.

Donald Trump and MAGA could not help but bring back COVID.

Let's see how many of you die this time.

Islam is not protecting a worldwide cabal of child-raping elites.

Trump/MAGA is.

Islam is not forcing massive corruption into American government.

That would be Trump/MAGA yet again.

Islam is not threatening to impoverish me.

Islam is not threatening that Third World War.

Trump/MAGA is.

Islam is not the enemy at the gates.

Islam is not the wolf at my door.

Trum/MAGA is.

Their anti-American beliefs are a genuine threat to the American way of life.

This is you, BILL.

BILL---

You can hallucinate "Messiah" into Donald Trump all that you like, but hallucinations just prove that you're sick.

Zed,

"We have this one poster who argues I should be terrified of Islam as a threat to Western Civilization."

By BILL---Who else?

1) Ah. So you keep grudges.

2) There is a war of civilizations, but it's not between Islam and the West. It's between fascism and the West.

3) In other words, a war between me and you. I didn't start it. You did.

4) You need to lose.
