Random Arguments & Strawmen #15

Nope still here:

I choose neither and re-negotiating our free trade agreements.

Why they didn't send seal team 69 to the OK is beyond me.

Oklahoma the musical or the state ?

BOTH!!

I've never been to Oklahoma but according to my imagination it looks like this:

Driven through there a few times, you aren't that far off.

I read about this yesterday.

This is how I feel.

If it is more of the same in terms of keeping companies in a state/country that has been done before (no or limited state taxes, land grants, employee taxes paid directly back to companies, etc) than it is nothing new and really not helpful. It continues the serious problem in the US of companies holding taxpayers hostage by threatening to leave.

But it gives the disenfranchised fuzzy feels like when Whiskey simultaneously warms you from the cold and destroys your liver.

It's medication time FFXIAH posters medication time !

Don't tempt me *goes on a whiskey binge*

When is Rooks going to implement the VR chatrooms that he promised? P&R would be way better if we had to glance at each other awkwardly while people are arguing.

Except there are actual hurdles rob havkig a voting machine via the internet.

She speaks as if we're giving them back someone else's money instead of their own.

Uh Oh! They're on to us!

yeah the sticky wicket in forcing corporations to reinvest their windfall in america instead of private islands with hookers and blackjack goes against our core priciples of government intervention...

and who is going to say no to blackjack

It actually was, which is what makes it so funny. The liberals focused so much on his black father that everyone just assumed his mother was black too. The conservatives saw that his father was not from USA, and since he was "all Black" they just assumed, the the Democrats wanted everyone to, that his mother was also black. The result was that everyone argued over his "birth certificate" being a short form certified copy and not over the fact that since his mother was an American he was a Natural Born Citizen anyway. The Democrats could of easily dismissed that entire nonsense by merely pointing at a picture of his mother at home or university and saying "see natural born citizen regardless of country of birth". But nope can't do that cause then people might think "wait he's not really black enough" and kinda ruin their moment.

Back in 2008 while the conservatives here were trying to argue against his nationality, I made the above argument that he was most certainly a Natural Born Citizen regardless of his father due to who his mother was. The liberals just kinda ignored it entirely and pressed on with the whole "your just racist" counterargument to the conservatives. Was really irrational to watch.

It's illuminating instead to have this conversation about whether someone is black enough.

Lol they aren't Bond villians but companies are extremely careful about domestic reinvestment due to liberal policies. They would like to grow, open a few new offices or attempt to expand but the risk of having to commit to long term payroll liabilities and unions is enough to made them decide to expand outside the USA.

Unions alone area huge reason to avoid expanding into anyplace that doesn't have Right To Work laws.

Don't worry Seha,only the democrats were the ones focused on identity politics.

Liberals are the ones who played identity politics, don't get salty when it bites you in the ***. President is just as much a "White President" as a "Black President", he's of mixed ethnicity (which is a good thing BTW) and instead of using that to project a message of unity, Democrats used that to project a message of "we're so modern and progressive cause we just elected a Black President". The proceeded to keep pushing it for eight years, all the while alienating the rural white middle-class population. Alienating that population so much that they didn't even bother counting or researching them for polls, cause you know, "rural white people don't matter".

And now Trumps elected President lol.

Implying this partakes to me in any way.

Like every theory out there, it's plausible if it's executed correctly.

If we can create a system where humans aren't involved, I'm 99% certain that it would work the way it was intended.

Humans are the reason we even need a solution to begin with.

Way ahead of you for my solution to the human problem.

Don't know why Obama's administration is any of your concern.

It's our problem, and now we fixed it by giving us a bigger problem to deal with.

it just might be the dumbest thing I have ever read....

and I read the fracking debate where someone suggested falling off a ladder could cause an earthquake.

Wouldn't it be crazy if the president of the United States could effect the world by their decision and actions?
