  • You have to remember that Putin is trying to play the media fiddle.

    He could probably get away with assassination of his biggest threats, but that wouldn’t be media friendly.

    Everyone assumes Putin shot the plane down, but there is no conclusive evidence, so he is still not the bad guy.

    The plane he was on was a civilian travel plane, but it is also not a public airliner. The people on board were all very likely aware of the dangers of being transported with the Russian leader’s most recent mutiny subject on board.

    To assume they just boarded a plane randomly is a big stretch. That’s like saying you hopped on Taylor Swifts airplane and didn’t realize she was on it.

    Putin is way more willing to put the lives of his own people at risk to portray a certain picture to the global media. Which yes, I agree is a sad reality.













  • Let’s be honest here, dude is gonna go to the whitest collar prison they can make and build him his own custom cell block. Donald going to prison would just be a way for him to own more property.

    I’m not opposed to him getting prison time, but it’s gonna be like everything else, handled completely different from the average criminal.






  • This just isn’t true. Walmart specifically has steadily increased prices, even though they are constantly making money.

    In fact, they believe they can perpetually grow and when they don’t grow they pin it on people stealing.

    Walmart loses about 1% of its annual revenue to theft. Sure that is pretty significant, but then you also have to realize that Walmart is typically the #2 company on spending for lobbyists. Usually influencing labor laws.

    Additionally, working class wealth has slowed to almost a stop. Since 2008 wealth generation for the average American is increased by about 1% each year. In comparison to the several hundred percentage that the top 1% has increased.

    You are advocating for a shitty faceless corporation and believing that stealing from them is actually harming others. They have made enough money to not only feed every single American, but also pay them a living wage, yet their employees are barely making that.

    If they didn’t have anybody stealing, prices would still be as high as they are, Walmart would just justify it with an excuse.

    They have not stopped increasing how much money they take. Every year they make more, charge more, and we don’t move. We stay right where we are and get to watch what was once a liveable wage turn into a nightmarish struggle.

    You aren’t the victim of others, you are the victim to capitalism.
