    What do you expect from Reddit? Each Subreddit has millions of rules. It is like walking on a field of landmines. They even censor the names of certain politicians in a Subreddit is that totally relevant for. For example, you can’t mention the name of a governor of a state, in which the state is subject of the subRedditt. Redditt is ONLY for “clique-based communities.” It is a fascist news aggregator posing as something legitimate. They also don’t allow new user accounts posting or doing anything unless you pass their Shittitt qualifications. The mods mischaracterize you and your arguments in order to ban you.


  • Politics does play a factor, but it is not the only factor. How much your money buys is multifactorial. Florida & Texas have similar politics, but Texas is better overall for your savings/value. Even if Florida is a low tax state; lower taxes than Texas, Texas has better overall geography, which includes natural resources. Many people don’t know that Florida has a state minimum wage that is expected to reach the legislated minimum of $15/hr. Texas has no state minimum wage. Nevertheless, Texas has a lower cost, and higher median wages. The ability to build housing involves political will against property owners who want more expensive properties to sell in the future. In California, the people are protective of their properties, and houses as an investment. The local governments protect those properties in their appraisal growth. For some bureaucratic reasons, California, and their local governments don’t do a comparable job in housing people compared to other states/cities. Regulations are often politicized, so yeah, politics is a factor.




  • There is no point in defending Kamala. I can tell by the stupid stuff she says she never ran a business in her entire life. Kamala is not fit for command. Felon Trump is better than Kamala. He is a businessman. Kamala has no business in the business of business. Vote Trump if you knew what is best for you. All democrats have is Trump is a felon. The disaster that Joe Biden is, and Kamala’s unoriginal ideas of meddling in people’s lives with unnecessary federal laws, which the states can, do, and already did with left wing policies, Kamala is unnecessary. I don’t think she ever worked at McDonald’s either, like she claimed she did. Then she steals some of Trump’s ideas. America does not need Kamala. Vote Trump, because we have no choice. Taxation reduces economic output. There is monumental evidence that tax cuts work and are often employed to stir up investment. Even blue states, and blue cities, use tax cuts. Democrat economy theory of taxation increasing economic prosperity is voodoo economics. Look at Joe Biden economic policies in trying to engineer the economy with tax credits for his futile micromanaged boondoggles. Even Joe Biden uses tax breaks. You are pissing against hurricane force winds and getting your face wet with your Democrat economic theories that are meant to confuse the low level electorate into voting for them, including the hope they get their union perks, 50 dollar minimum wage, and abortions, whatever they can get. What we need to do is stack the court with libertarians and right-wingers, and make sure democrats don’t interfere with state laws and the culture of those states ever again. Save America, vote Trump. There is nobody else.



  • It is about protecting the sanctity of human life. Most abortions are used as birth control because they are unwanted liabilities. They are not even considered investments into civilization. I give 2 anecdotes of two “accidents” that graduated from high school early and went on to go with productive lives. These two “accidents” are good for civilization, not bad. From the perspective of selfishness and lack of sense of duty, it is always what we want versus what we need. That is the problem with democrat thinking, and why they don’t know how to run a government. It is why the issue comes up that younger generations have to pay more for less service because social services are burdened on younger generations than the people who actually benefitted from it. Abortion actually weakens democrat states in the long term because their fertility rates are even lower and if they leave Republican states because of abortion, it simply purifies the state from people who are for their own interests over the collective interest of the state. That is not to say that abortion is an inherently bad policy, but you apply the when, and where, you need it. For example, overpopulation can be a problem; a strain on resources. Red states are already gaining population increases due to immigration, bringing in more wealth, and higher incomes, than they are losing. Population, wealth, and high incomes are the necessary ingredients for a powerful state. This is true in international politics, and no different in competing states within a union.


  • Correct. Labor is the most valuable natural resource on Earth.

    I said spending is an aggregate measure of GDP. You can’t even debate honestly and imply you are honest by saying other people are dishonest. It is best you are covered with a veil and blocked. Labor itself isn’t value. Value is the end product. Every country has labor. The productivity of that labor is not equal. This is what leftist don’t understand about the price of labor; it is not due to the labor itself, but the value that comes out the other end. This is why labor is unequal… and why your statement is nonsensical. No point in debating somebody in economics when they don’t know how an economy works. I am not going to waste my time, when blocking is much more efficient.



  • Including American citizens in the cost of illegal immigrants is dishonest.

    It is actually honest. You measure what is paid in versus paid out. Many immigrants come with children. Those people need education services immediately if they are to assimilate into the flow of productivity. They also take healthcare dollars. These are all legitimate costs. Law enforcement costs money and pulled away from normal operation. Immigrants need to be processed. Property owners pay taxes to have law enforcement to protect property. Again, all legitimate costs. But let us examine your logic, if migrants didn’t generate net revenues positively in their country of origin, what makes you think they generate a net positive in the new host country? If they didn’t generate a net positive for their country of origin, like a failed state like Venezuela, by which evidence do you use to determine they are indeed productive enough? Furthermore, why do municipalities like NYC have to cut services? Why do they have to evict migrants from shelters? The coordination and logistics of feeding them and find them shelter, getting them the proper healthcare, all at no cost to them. Resources are not unlimited and because of that, these new peoples drive up spending that has to be paid for by the native or local populations. If the federal government does not want to fulfill its immigration policy with federal dollars, offload the costs to local governments, what does that say about the scarcity of resources?

    Left-wingers are correct that unfettered immigration boosts GDP, because it boosts total spending, even if it means most of it is by taxpayers paying for these new peoples. Using their logic, we should take in all the people in poverty in the world, and boost the GDP to astronomical levels by funding all of it.


  • Toll roads are meant to control traffic congestion. Florida has many of them because tourist flood the state driving on their highways. This generates revenues from tourist instead of only from Floridians, while influencing traffic at the same time. NYC tried to do that for traffic congestion in Manhattan. They wanted revenues from New Jersey drivers who go to Manhattan. Toll roads can be good for truckers hauling freight, as less congestion means making time and safer.







  • I have been called many things but never a liar. I debate with facts. Furthermore, I don’t know why you are upset when you asked me to define Woke, I gave you a Wiki and an American dictionary source. Then you call me a racist who is honest. Are you the inverse of that, a non-racist and a liar? I provided links because leftist are obsessed with valid sources that aren’t right wing. Is Merriam-Webster and Wikipedia too much right wing for you? Then, if I provide my definition with my own words, the leftist says I have no proof what it means, and I made it up. Islam is not a race. You know Turkey? Not the bird, the country? It is majority Muslim and, by appearances, look white. They share genetics with Greeks. Nevertheless, they are not Christianized.
