• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Personally, I like that idea.


Quote from their website

When people talk about Democracy and Republics, they talk about a government by the people, for the people, of the people. That form of government has been replaced by financial oligarchism, in which money, and money alone is counted by a small group of rich businessmen with god-complexes, not the votes of the people nor the representatives elected to serve the people.

Democracy/Republics can only work on the small scale, where the leaders are held accountable by their neighbors.

What do you think?

Fuck Biden, Fuck Trump!
 
Nope and most are hardly what I would call rich.

In today’s America if you aren’t a billionaire then you likely don’t even own a water bed.


Yes, really, poor bastards, their poverty pisses me off. As long as America is ruled only by millionaires and billionaires and their sycophants, everyone else will be left out in the cold. Rich people only make clientel politics for other rich people. If you think that's good, you're dumber than I thought.

I’m not a billionaire and I haven’t been left out in the cold.

In fact, Trump’s tax cuts helped me significantly. Biden’s approval to increase domestic oil & natural gas production has also helped me and my family.

America is BY FAR the greatest place on earth. I thank God every day for this modern day Eden.

For the wealthy, banks and other corporations, the tax reform package is a lopsided victory, as it provided substantial and permanent tax cuts for corporate profits, capital gains, the estate tax and more. The marginal rate became more attractive to the rich than to lower-income people.

The cancer treatment of my son didn't cost me a dollar in germany. In the US it would have started at around 30k. Why is that? Germany has a statutory health insurance that covers every cancer treatment by law. So tell me about the greatest place on earth.
