SS was designed to replace about 40% of the average worker's income.

You agree, big pharma corrupted the Dems.

It's not undercutting free speech. People still have the right to protest, etc.

How free is speech down under? Who has more freedom of speech? The USA or AU?

Do you think all the money from big Pharma influenced the Dems?

You are the deflator. My post on this topic was about money and big pharma. Do you think the 7.2 million from Big Pharma in 2020 and the 6.7 million in 2022 influenced Biden's bill?

Do you think the moon is made of cheese?

It's like you stupid lefties expect US Citizens to subsidize Europe until perpetuity. Stop pulling numbers out of your ass.

How much did Big Pharmaceutical's money influence the Democrat's bill?

Biden had the House and the Senate at one point. But, it is the Republican's fault. Maybe the 6 million given to the dems from Big Parma helped.

It's time for Europe to defend themselves.

You can always trust the CCP.

How was the recovery last time? I underwent an ablation a few weeks ago.

Both parties get large sums of money from Big Pharma. BTW..go <deleted> yourself.

The Senate would vote No.

They are lazy, and need to get off their asses. Russia is their backyard.

Among the many statutes related to NATO is Section 1250A of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (2024 NDAA), which prohibits the President from withdrawing the United States from the North Atlantic Treaty without the approval of the Senate or statutory authorization

No you don’t.

Russia is a not all that strong. Why can’t the Europeans deal wtih Russia.

But the EU is lazy. They are more concerned about their vast welfare state.

I found this on the dept of SS

The SS payout is based on ones highest 35 years of earnings. If someone only work 11 years, they will have lots of zeros in the equation.

People in the UK and Germany are tossed in jail for mean tweets. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/germany-online-hate-speech-prosecution-60-minutes/

Vance was correct.

Yep, the West did nothing in 2014 when Putin took Crimea. Obama did a few trivial sanctions, and Europe was their usual feckless selves. Putin is not leaving Ukraine unless he is forced out. Who is willing to provide the boots on the ground to remove Russia from Ukraine? Ukraine is outmanned. Putin has no issue spending people to their deaths for his cause, and Putin knows the West has weak knees.
