You're suggesting governments dictate what corporations can and can't do?

It's about time.

No, that's something that you personally have in common with Hitler but that's not what's being suggested here. Nobody is suggesting that the government dictate anything to business. But it's perfectly fine to put in some guidelines and boundaries and require them to operate within it

Sorry, no dictatorship for you   You'll have to keep trying.

No, donald is one person and his name is Donald. Everybody else is their own person and they have their own beliefs and their own thoughts and they probably don't agree with Donald every single time he says something.

But it's very left wing of you to try and dehumanize people by suggesting that they are all just simply shadows of one person and not actual sentient people on their own.

Right, right, anybody who disagrees with you is too stupid. It's not you, it's the rest of the herd that's crazy.

By all means keep that up. I'm sure the republicans will enjoy having yet another easy victory in 4 years.

MAGA is a cult and Donald is their leader.  Given that you aren't a "Trump supporter" you should realize this. It's very cultish of you to assume that anyone who doesn't suck Donald's testicle is a leftwinger.

Yes I am dehumanizing MAGA folks because i'm calling them stupid gullible sheep, and a sheep isn't a human.  Baaaaaah.

If you mean trump, I think he cares about the average person an awful lot more than the average democrat does and more importantly doesn't pretend that he cares more than he actually does. I mean sure every single politician plays to the audience but i think trump genuinely wants to see the middle class prosperous and happy on their own. 

Just what is it about Trump's long public life that leads you to believe he gives a damn about ordinary people? 

Surely, not just because once he became a politician he claimed he did...?

His ego.  He wants to be seen as being a benevolent leader and for people to say they prospered under him. 

Quote

LOL surely not indeed  

Public opinion has always been important to him, even back to his performer days. Doesn't make him a nice guy or anything, just means he wants them to be happy with him. 

And he doesn't pander to the people of the minute as much as the dems.  If he thinks someone's a tard today he thinks they're a tard tomorrow, and likewise if he respects them today generally he respects them tomorrow.  Compare him to the dems who are literally all about how horribly repressed the latinos are (sorry, latinx) and how their plight is critical and how we should be understanding about those who came across the border without documentation etc etc....   right up till they didn't vote for the dems. Then their men were misogynistic bigoted racist haters and their women were weak and controlled.    Trump's got them beat, he calls the illegals scum before the latinos voted for him and he calls them the same after. 

Remember, this was a comparison of trump to the dems, not just whether or not trump was a deeply caring person overall.

Actually it kinda has been or at least Trump’s strength. I would argue it’s actually a weakness for your average Trump supporter.   Trump support comes from a varied assortment of followers who live in completely opposite realties from each other and even change their own realities at will, for example :
 

Trump alone cured COVID by developing a vaccine. Trump alone knew COVID was a hoax and the vaccine kills people.

Trump alone knows Putin is a good guy. Trump is Putin’s greatest foe.

Trump fought like hell for the 2020 election that was stolen from him. Trump just kindly asked some election people to double check their work if they could spare the time and then conceded defeat, nothing different than any other presidential candidate 

Trump publicly condemned J6 as a “heinous attack” on democracy and did everything possible to stop it and denounce the attackers. Trump knows J6 was a legitimate and justified peaceful protest and those arrested are political prisoners. 
 And on and on.
 

But this is not a “big tent” success story.  “Big Tent is when largely live in a shared reality but simply have different philosophies amd priorities. But in MAGA not only are there completely contradictory perceived realities between different Trump supporters you will see  contradictory versions of reality coming from the same Trump supporter:  one minister they’re claiming one thing, the next minute they’re claiming the exact opposite. Talk about having different voices in your head!  We see it here in this forum all the time. The reason is that to MAGAs, as long as you support Trump nothing else matters and objective reality is irrelevant. This explains why Trump supporters on here rarely argue with each other even when expressing wildly contradictory versions of reality in the same thread, Ive only seen arguments a few times and only with MAGAs who support Putin.  This is why the same Trump supporter will completely contradict his previous claims in order to defend Trump on whatever the new topic is. In MAGAland, reality doesn’t matter, facts don’t matter, logic doesn’t matter, they’re just temporarily useful things to assert in the moment when you’re try to defend your infallible leader, whether they’re true or not and can be discarded immediately afterwards Trump rode this all the way to the White House twice.

Sure they do. In fact it's pretty common. If they don't like the person, or in many cases if they don't like the person who appointed the person, then they will go absolutely ballistic even if the person is fully qualified. They will find some excuse. And yet amusingly those same people are the kind who freaked out when conservatives said "Maybe prime minister isn't an entry-level position" when Justin Trudeau ran in 2015.

Uhh 1)have you HEARD what conservatives and republicans say about every single democrat or liberal candidate in recent history?  Project much LOL.  Oh wait you’re going to say “but when we do it doesn’t count because we’re always right”. 
 

2) you failed to give even s single example of any lib/dem saying it’s anti-working class to hire a person with formal qualifications, which was your original claim. So you get a FAIL.

Hell in Canada we saw the left push hard the argument that Poilievre is unqualified because he's never held a job outside of the government and this there for means that he's not qualified to work for the government.  Seriously.  We had those fights right here on this  board and they were everywhere.  The guy is one of the most qualified people in canada with decades of experience and time in a highly sucessful gov't under a prime minister who's be several times voted to be the number one or in the top 3.   But he's unqualified. 

No that’s a complete misrepresentation. Nobody said he’s “unqualified” we said he’s a hypocrite to portray himself as some sort of Ottawa outsider and champion of the people and the working man when he’s been a lifelong Ottawa swamp creature with a multimillion dollar government pension since age 31 as a result even as he voted against pension increases for Canadians and voted for raising Canadians’ retirement age. He’s guaranteed an Ottawa government pension of almost a quarter million a year while publicly attacking Jagmeet Singh’s $66,000/yr  pension entitlement. He’s not unqualified to be the head Ottawa swamp creature, he’s overqualified. 
 

And you exaggerate the alleged greatness of the Harper government which was mostly a minority government as well as PP’s role in it, when he was still a junior troll,  most famous for calling people communist or socialist or a marxist and other cheap insults whenever he didn’t like what they had to say.  He still likes to do that from time to time. It’s certainly a stretch to call him “the most qualified in Canada” considering he’s never held a cabinet position or lead a large organization or had any management experience and hasn’t been party leader for long either. But he’s not less qualified than others, certainly not less than JT.

They didn’t falsely claim she was “unqualified” they just preferred Biden, a 2-term VP under the highly successful and highly popular Obama administration who was supposed to have run in 2016 instead of Hillary.

These 'maga's....  are they in the room with you right now? 

Elon got mad at a couple of people. Not all Maga everywhere. Not even most of Maga everywhere. Just a teeny teeny tiny handful of them that he is mad at. Which means he got mad at people.  

As to the rest, honestly I kind of got bored about halfway through. It's just your usual rambling when you know that you're wrong and you're desperately trying to pretend otherwise. Just like it's not elon musk telling all of Mega to f off

I get that you're desperate. I get that your side lost that particular fight badly and you're very angry and hope desperately in your heart that somehow this all goes horribly wrong so that you can point and say ha! 

But that's probably not going to happen. Elon is not elected. He has no official position whatsoever. Undoubtable that he's going to fight with the odd person, but he doesn't represent the party.

I further understand that you're probably very upset about the same thing happening in Canada which is what's shaping up. The liberals are set to be wiped out in the NDP not much better. I expect we'll hear the same nonsense about the CPC from you after that as well

In about 21 days trump will be president and things will go relatively smoothly if not somewhat dramatically. Like every presidency there will be ups and downs and good times and bad times and we'll laugh and we'll cry and it'll be the feel-good presidency of the summer

The legacy MAGA movement and multiple luminaries just got smoked in the face by the new technobro oligarchs who are now driving the MAGA bus, that’s what happened.   You can continue lying and pretend it was just a couple of random people and not some of MAGAs biggest influencers if you want.

And that's why it gets boring after a while @BeaverFever.   Lots of times you actually discuss and make arguments and in such cases even if you're wrong it's still interesting to read but if you just completely flat out lie or make utterly stupid statements line after line after line then its just dull. 

The best discussions happen when people disagree but everything they say is factually accurate and logical (yes that is entirely possible).  Then it's all about the points and counterpoints and the issue gets fully examined and even if the two never do wind up agreeing everyone's knowledge of the topic and its complexity expands and we are all better for it. 

Do that.

I guess the question becomes why did they feel the need to recruit from somewhere as far away as India rather than from the united states itself? I'm not asking that sarcastically, but unless the answer is that they're simply aren't enough educated Americans then I would have to ask why did they have to go so far afield?

If you're mining you go where there's the most ore, not where there's just the most earth.  And again they don't need volume.  Why would you go digging for diamonds half way around the world if you've got excellent diamonds in your backyard?

There most be another reason why they're hiring these people specifically.
