BABY, let me count the ways. We used to have fewer delays and cancellations. Also, flights weren’t “overbooked” all the time. Everything went downhill after the post-9/11 and 2008 bailouts.
Zoomer here did flights used to be more reliable?

Hi, VERY small subsistence farmer here:
Did you know that most commercial 'family' farmers are actually wealthy landowners and landlords with 6 figure incomes? Small homestead farmers like us don't get subsidies or bailouts, it's the 100+ acre millionaires crying poverty rn. They voted for this.

Trillions in tax breaks for the 0.1%
Billions in bailouts for Argentina.
But when hard-working Americans need a little help to afford groceries, Trump can’t find the money?!?

The Trump administration said it will provide partial food stamp benefits for November by tapping into the program’s contingency fund amid the ongoing government shutdown.

State support for UK banks
Bailouts: Govts found £1162bn (£133bn cash+£1,029bn guarantees) in 2008
£895bn QE
State is the lender of last resort
£85k bank deposit safety guarantee
PFI profits
£22bn a year interest on reserves deposited with Bank of England
Who else gets this level of state support?

Why the banking industry is not a paragon of free markets, efficiency, or honesty
Despite making record profits and paying record returns to shareholders it resents paying taxes.

Instead of a bailout, maybe all of these vacant units can become social housing?
It’s time for out-of-the-box solutions, not more bailouts and more funds for the rich.

Surrey developer pauses 1,000 homes, says prices can’t drop any lower and suggests a condo ‘bailout’ is needed – Surrey Citizen
But would the public support a 'bailout' of developers?

If private equity goes begging for bailouts i hope we see mansions aflame on Long Island
so @matteowong.bsky.social & I wrote on data centers: arguably the most important buildings in the world & are, in a way, holding the economy hostage. Byzantine financial instruments, private equity, depreciating tech, hype, $trillion valuations. it’s all there. an ai crash prob starts here.

This is an outdated myth being pushed by the right wing right now: the hard-working, starving family farm. If a farm is commercially viable at all, and not just growing for themselves and their community, they are 98% wealthy landowners. They bet on lower taxes/bailouts and lost. Don't buy the BS.

I see people complaining about people that get snap benefits. An to those people I ask . Where were you when banks an auto companies got bailouts . Where were you when rich people like Elon get government subsidies . Corporate welfare far outnumbers what is given to poor that actually need it .

Meanwhile the government gives bailouts and massive tax cuts to these same companies out of our tax money and that's why you are record profits while firing the replaceable employees and the CEO giving themselves multi million dollar bonuses. And Congress getting kickbacks as bribes for allowing it

Apropos of nothing, ofc, "Dems moved too far left since 2012" is a take only possible if your baseline for judging that shift is a peer group of political operatives. The issues of the day among non-politicos were gay marriage, weed legalization, corp bailouts-on all, Dems were right of the country!

Unlike banks, no AI company is too big to fail. We can let them go bust. We do not need them. We do not need their data centres.
No bailouts for bots.
Let the companies starve, not the people.

Trump appeals to the three spiritual poisons:
Greed. The greedy love him because he's like them and will continue to give them endless bailouts and tax cuts. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars to propagandize the second two

Aren’t some of the “common sense” people just funny- any “free” scheme proposal that would benefit the society as a whole, like free public transport is met with “WhErE iS tHE MoNeY cOmIng fRom?!” while tax breaks and bailouts for millionaires and corporations are met with crickets.

Tag yourself I’m “miscellaneous radical policies.”
This came my way from a guy who was supposed to be a state-level sub-cabinet official and refers to being a part-time brigade commander as a “CEO” position.
This was on LinkedIn.

Billions of dollars that could feed hungry Americans or support our veterans are being wasted.
Trump is using your tax dollars for foreign bailouts, political favors, and luxury planes.

From health care to groceries to housing – the cost just to live is rising fast. But Trump is focused on ballrooms, billionaire tax cuts, and bailouts of foreign dictators. Let’s bring down these costs, starting by reversing disastrous policies that spike the cost of health care.

while genocidal freaks like this complain about poor people eating cookies, you might need a little reminder of who the number 1 recipients of government welfare are: THE WEALTHY, through billions of dollars in government subsidies, bailouts, loans, and tax breaks. all at the public’s expense.

Pay attention! They have $54 trillion of our money. Yes, our money that they stole from us through tax loopholes, tax subsidies, subsidies for the subsidies, and bailouts for airlines and oil conglomerates—for Elon's Tesla, SpaceX, and so on. Tax breaks, and money from the revolving door.
