I’ll tell you a little secret. I got a pretty damn good score on the GRE. They should give me free tuition and a meal plan and train me for the Green New Deal. I test out as having the aptitude. I’m smart!

I thought you were anti school?

I think ultimately though it's like elph said, in countries where they have single payer and private healthcare, most people stick with the govt plan so private insurance is inevitably rendered almost irrelevant for all but a few rich people. So I really believe the question of whether to ban it is a distraction invented by the media to make single payer seem undesirable.

Communism: One More Try

Get at me with the better plan

If I had a plan better than voting I'd share it.

Well, how about treating angry white people like humans and trying to educate them from the misinformation the Wilks brothers pay Prager U to scare them into fascism with. Getting everybody on the same page is important.

Edit: "Hey, I understand your concerns but let me explain to you how Steven Crowder is wrong when he tells you that the Nazis are socialists." works better than "Nazis aren't socialists you ****ing fascist retard!"

It’s hard to believe but the fish I prepped alone made the restaurant over $10,000 a day in PROFIT (not net but over the bulk cost of the fish). One butterflied steak of mahi was $20 on the plate. They cost the restaurant like two bucks a piece frozen. I thawed them and butterflied them then the line cook baked or grilled it and plated it. The waitres served it. We went through 40 lbs a day. That $1600 in JUST MAHI (dolphin fish). I also did 7 other items. If it were a collective democratic cooperative after ALL expenses $500 a day would’ve still been a lowball. That’s over $100,000 on a 4 day week. Think about it. There’s no ****ing excuse for people making $70-$100 bucks a day (or less). It’s ****ing madness.

You would have had to cut 500 mahi steaks to make $10,000 gross profit.

Yeah. I cut between 80 and 100 everyday. And that was just mahi.

Actually that’s just butterflied steaks because I also did mahi strips for fish tacos and those ****ers sold as quickly as the steaks.

I'm not holding you accountable I'm asking

You're pro free college but anti compulsory education k-12? Don't you think a ton more kids won't even make it to college if they aren't forced to go to school when they're young?

~~jwb~~ · 07-31-2019, 12:21 PM

Btw does anyone know where to watch the full debate

And why the **** are the debates split in 2 still. We don't need 20 candidates. Lose the dead weight.

So you did not make the restaurant $10,000 a day is what you're saying.

Not only that. You are more expendable than the restaurant. They can get some other sucker in there to do the same job for the same wage.

That's what wage slaves don't understand. The money you make isn't related to the profit your work generates. It's how hard you are to replace. If you could make 10k in a night without the restaurant you wouldn't work there. You need them more than they need you.
