Trump's words about not having skilled Americans to do American jobs is the final straw for a lot of young people to lose the last hope they had in trump. Like it not, the under 30 crowd is not going to vote for trump (or likely at all) in the next election due to that and his insane level of support he gives israel.
Many landlords are happy to rent you an apartment for $2,000 a month based on your income of $X, yet many banks will not approve you for a mortgage with the same income even if the monthly payment would be less than your current rent.
This is the situation many young people face and they are forced to keep renting at a higher cost than a mortgage would be, which makes it incredibly difficult to save for a down payment. This is a major win for anyone looking to go from renting to owning.
I do not like how the change was made without any input from anyone. It seems heavy-handed and reminiscent of the days when the original The Donald subreddit got all new mods who brought in a ton of changes no one wanted.
The no talk about DEW seems pretty wild when there are so many videos of how things that were blue survived the attacks and plants were untouched but cars melted and buildings burnt to nothing. It just seems to have come out of nowhere and seems like slippery slope as topics get pushed into the "no no" list more and more. This board was having some very deep and interesting threads about DEW but now we are supposed to just censor ourselves and never mention it again?
A ton of people have been helped with health advice on here with all the talk about ivermectin and other tools. I hope we don't see a similar crackdown on that or this site really will have gone off the deep end. I hope that these rules will be reversed and let people speak about what is on their hearts and minds without fear of mods banning them. I expected that on facebook or the old twitter, surprised it's a thing now on here.
Worth pointing out the colors have been manipulated to look more red than they are. This is fear mongering. See the real source of the image (and real colors) here
I asked chatgpt what the image means and it got the jist of it: This meme is a play on words. The image shows a boat with potatoes, suggesting the phrase "tater ship," which sounds like "dictatorship." The caption, "this is not a democracy it's a," implies that instead of being a democracy, it is a "dictatorship," using the visual pun of a ship full of potatoes to complete the joke.
