Awwww, that sounds almost magical to have watched, really glad for all of you.

I live to apologize to her.

I’ll see if I can make it work sometime.

Glad it made you smile! Also glad I’m not the only one who gets reprimanded for laying out an arm incorrectly!

Are there data to support this argument though?

The markets went down early on as everything everywhere shut down, then I don’t think had another sustained run of losses? And while trump didn’t do great at the response, his ineptitude didn’t really shine through until after the initial closures etc.

That’s not to say the market is all that matters and I think his lack of response killed many people, it doesn’t seem to have moved markets. (Darkly ironic, as most of the deaths were among senior citizens who have a low propensity to spend, you might perversely argue more seniors deaths led to a redistribution of wealth towards those with a higher marginal propensity to spend thus helping the markets. Obviously super immoral/evil but again, in terms of the markets…)

Ooooh, good answer.

I’m going for accuracy.

You could argue trump’s response maybe made the markets slightly worse but blaming the covid market crash on American stupidity seems pretty far fetched.

He was a synonym for rich guy for awhile. And was even on WWE. So, depends how you define cool.

His whole plan was to avoid jail, I don’t think he gives a damn what happens next beyond his own enrichment.

That’s damn fine work!

There’s been a significant, internationally tested drop in functional literacy skills in the last decade or so.

Related story, basically the hardest I laughed during covid.

Being a good Vancouverite, when those convoy fucks wanted to parade around and honk at hospitals, hundreds or thousands of us with bikes got in their way and kept them away from the hospitals.

Okay, so we’re blocking an arterial and some convoy fuck is screaming at us about how, in his words, “we’ve got to protest smarter.” He then finally realizes we have been politely letting non convoy cars through the lane next to him, so floors the accelerator and aims for that lane. But, he didn’t shoulder check and slammed right into a car in that lane in front of a cop. So for the next however long we got to point and laugh while advising him about the merits of shoulder checking and how he needed to drive smarter.

Gotta love when an asshole causes a 100% fault car crash with no injuries.

I wonder if one of you is switching the words around from dead hang?

A dead hang is when you hold yourself from a chinup bar.

Cheese grater.

I can’t speak for OP but personally, I want to help as many small lil communities as I can as I think that’s the best way to expand.

What separates Bruce Wayne from other people apart from money?

The willingness to devote their lives to training in all forms of combat and gymnastics and push themselves past Olympic mastery (as well as all the esoteric knowledge and studying required to become the world’s greatest detective.)

And here’s the thing, if your theory were correct there should be multiple Batmen. It’s bizzare to claim that somehow the existence of one billionaire means no one else is able to become one or devote their lives etc.

Just to make sure I understand your position… Your theory is that if other people had Bruce Wayne’s money, they would spend it on advanced tech, weaponry and simultaneously devote their lives to training in all forms of combat and gymnastics and push themselves past Olympic mastery (as well as all the esoteric knowledge and studying required to become the world’s greatest detective) and thus be able to save the universe when asked, despite no one else doing this? Like the only thing stopping people in the D.C universe from becoming Batman is because Bruce Wayne has more money than most people?a

I shamefully haven’t watched much Voyager since it was on and my first thoughts were that Janeway met Santa and thus the show was a lot crazier than I remember.

(Yes, I’ll make time next pandemic. Which RFK is doing his best to hurry along.)

Yes, he is the only billionaire.

I’m pretty sure most of the time the Justice League saved the world it’s not because they were just giving the military a break.
