    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to Björn Felten on Sun Sep 1 17:53:42 2024
    We like having businesses and we like having jobs.

    We? We, who? We, the brainwashed MAGA cult members? That I can
    believe. But the 40M living under the poverty level would rather pay the ultra-rich than be able to spend the money on their local shops and servicemen? Hardly.

    Go ahead and try to speak for millions of people who live in a country that you don't live in. I'm beginning to realize that's typical leftie behavior.

    There's no magic wand that solves everybody's problems, but there is a magic wand that alleviated the problem of businesses not being able to afford to stay afloat due to high taxes, and Trump waved that wand for us.

    Jobs? 3M lost their jobs during #45. The only president in modern history who left office with fewer jobs. Yeah, it didn't work out well, did it?

    What is your source of that information? The pandemic caused historic unemployment. That's a fact. And there's no other logic that pins the loss of jobs on Trump policy.

    How much do you pay in taxes, BTW?

    I don't own a business, so I don't pay corporate tax. I pay property tax, income tax, and sales tax just like everybody else. Property tax is based on the value of my home, sales tax in NY is 8%, income tax is about 25% of my gross income.

    Democrats like converting shopping malls into welfare offices.

    Holy Smoke. Are you for real?

    I can't speak for all the welfare offices throughout the entire state, but it happened at the former site of the Oakdale Mall in Johnson City, New York. There's still some retail space there, but a large portion of the building is now occupied by the county department of social services. And it's not a replacement for the old DSS, it's in addition to the existing one!

    Oh, you forgot about all the satanic orgies where they eat babies and drink their blood. Maybe in the malls, then?

    I don't know about satanic orgies, but there was an issue with Democrats and babies recently at this year's DNC convention in Chicago, Illinois. They just can't keep their hands off kids for some sick reason.

    Typical projection. *YOU* were the one who pretended to speak for other people.

    Unless you are megalomaniacal enough to use pluralis majestatis, "we" means more than you. So I asked you who *YOU* try to speak for.

    I'm beginning to realize that's typical leftie behavior.

    First of all, I'm not a leftie, I've always written with my right hand.

    Secondly, projection is the hallmark of the MAGA cult members, as decreed by their cult leader, the Orange Jesus.

    Go ahead and try to speak for millions of people who live in a countr that you don't live in.

    Typical projection. *YOU* were the one who pretended to speak for
    other people.

    Here's what you said:

    "We? We, who? We, the brainwashed MAGA cult members? That I can
    believe. But the 40M living under the poverty level would rather pay the
    ultra-rich than be able to spend the money on their local shops and
    servicemen? Hardly."

    You were speaking for "40M" people, now you're claiming that I am the one who was speaking for others. That also is typical leftie behavior.

    Unless you are megalomaniacal enough to use pluralis majestatis, "we" means more than you. So I asked you who *YOU* try to speak for.

    Oh, I forgot. I was distracted by all that speaking for 40M people that you were doing.

    First of all, I'm not a leftie, I've always written with my right
    hand.

    And now George Soros does all the writing for you.

    Secondly, projection is the hallmark of the MAGA cult members, as decreed by their cult leader, the Orange Jesus.

    Right. I shouldn't project anything, I should just let the media and the world's elite do all the thinking for me.

    Ah yes, another infamous MAGA hallmark. Never answer a direct question. If you can't lie, deflect.

    I speak for myself and not for other people. Speaking for other people is something that elitists do, and it's also something that people who watch too much tv do.

    But no, it sounds much better if you pretend to be speaking for millionss of other people, doesn't it?

    When I mention the 40M US people living under the poverty level, I am the one pretending to be speaking of behalf of those people?

    What if I hade mentioned the 41M living in Canada, would that have made me speaking for all the Canadians?

    You didn't just simply mention them, you said what they would rather have. That's called speaking for someone else.

    We like having businesses and we like having jobs.

    We both spoke for other people. Shame on us. But back to the point: What would we have without businesses and jobs? Caves and loincloths?

    Hello Björn,

    Who are the "we" that you claim to represent?

    I speak for myself and not for other people.

    We like having businesses and we like having jobs.

    I don't see an I here, but I can see two we.

    What is capital? What is labor? Are they one and the same thing?

    Don't you even understand how different this would look like if you said:

    "I like having businesses and I like having jobs."

    What he said is something far different.

    It is kind of like saying "I am my own grandpa."

    While within the realm of possibilities, it is far from likely.

    But no, it sounds much better if you pretend to be speaking for millionss of
    other people, doesn't it?

    Of course it does. That is why the state of Louisiana made it the
    official state tourism motto - "Come to Louisiana. Leave different."

    See how that works? The state of Louisiana speaks for millions
    of other people. In its own official words.

    When I mention the 40M US people living under the poverty level, I am the one pretending to be speaking of behalf of those people?

    That's right. The state has to make it official. Otherwise it is
    just your own opinion. For whatever that is worth.

    What if I hade mentioned the 41M living in Canada, would that have made me speaking for all the Canadians?

    Oh, come now. Canadians do not "come to Canada, leave different".

    Logic is futile.
