Why should control of 50% wealth equate to 50% of all consumption? Why not 70% of consumption or 40%? What is the reason that the two percentages are expected to be the same?

I said food consumption not amount spent on food. The two are different. The top 10% don’t consume 50% of the caloric intake of the nation.

Why “of course”? It’s not clear to me why that would the case. For instance, we wouldn’t expect the top 10% to account for 50% of all food consumption simply becuase they control 50% of the wealth.

You think Citizen’s United was a good ruling. You think the Voting Rights Act hasn’t been gutted despite thousands of polling stations shutting down. You think there was some bureaucratic state plotting against the executive despite no evidence. Your link is an article about people taking Project 2025 and Trump at their word and trying to plan accordingly. You have no objecticity. Your logic is horribly flawed. You are the problem.

I get the sense that Vance and Musk are the ones really in control.

What is most interesting is the presence of Vance and that he started the argument. Yesterday he was with Trump and the British PM and accused the UK of being against free speech. I don’t recall VPs being active in such meetings before now. It says a lot that Vance is taking such a prominent role in areas that VPs traditionally do not publicly venture in.

I got my certificate of citizenship a few days after birth. I believe anyone can get this but almost no one has heard of this.

He is a deeply lonely person. He has no real friends and appears to be incapable of forming genuine emotional connections. He needs friends but doesn’t have any and the pursuit of adulation from strangers is a poor substitute but it’s the best he can do.

The person I responded to thinks a birth certificate is sufficient to prove citizenship. My birth certificate can not be used to establish citizenship even though it was issued by the U.S. government and I’m a natural born U.S. citizen.

We never really addressed the issues of the Civil War. Desegregation caused white men to destroy the social fabric of the nation. We used to have municipal pools that were free to use. Ambulances used to be free as well as trash collection. The idea of communities running services ended with desegregation and white flight from the cities. Now we have become an “i’ve got mine, fuck you” nation.

My birth certificate prominently has this written on the top: Can not be used to determine citizenship. I’m a natural born U.S. citizen.

I voted Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bob Dole. Unlike you I have a sense of ethics and I apply them consistently.

I hope someday you get the help you need.
