Apple to invest $500B and create 20k jobs in the USA, but no thread?

Things don't have to directly affect you for them to matter. Just because you don't feel something personally doesn't mean it's not happening. Just take the mask completely off already, and throw your full weight behind Trump.

@B86This what they always fall back to. "I ain't gotta know anyone personally."

Sad life.

Imagine quoting this smug, condescending bullshyt and thinking you're making a point.

Dismissing concern for others as pathological is just a lazy rationalization for indifference wrapped in pseudo-profound nonsense.


The comment it's responding to is even more absurd.




Edit: They're both well-off white dudes too, which makes their comments even more absurd. They're the kind of people who don't have to worry too much about the consequence of political decisions, because their whiteness and money insulate them from the harm.

You're really trying to spin this into a Trump W?

Nah, for real, I got you. Best of luck to you.

Doesn't the average person though live off the benefits that were gained off the efforts of the people who were stressing and protesting though? Even as a black person, I'm watching folks try to dismantle policies that'd been put into place years before I was born but which have afforded me a life better than my grandparents had when they were living thru Jim Crow...I didn't pay that price. Someone else did.

This seems completely out of touch. Folks are able to throw their focus into their families because of societal systems which, when they are running as expected, allow us to be able to worry about other things...somebody somewhere already made the sacrifice when they worried about problems and tried to fight to fix them.

See the agents. Know the agents. Move accordingly.

Focus on yourself and building your family. If you're good at that, focus on the community and expand.

Or don't and sit on the Internet complaining all day, pretending that it makes you "politically aware" or that you're "making a difference."

OP is dumb fukk

 

[Rick Fox at UNC]

I remember during the first and second Bush administration all these armchair ass dummies were complaining about him and his policies. Saying they would have to leave the country.

Same thing during the Wall Street troubles.

Remember during Obama's two terms people were acting like they were motivated to do something.

It was all pointless and time wasting bullshyt talk.

 

[Rick Fox at UNC]

The blueprint remains the same. It's not talk, it's focusing on getting into good universities or building a good skill.

It's finding good partners to build families with. It's building up your kids to have skills and be a serious threat in a skill based economy.

Unless you're in a position to affect change, everything else is just bullshyt chatter.

You want to cry to me about how your broke ass is still broke under Trump? Oh, you mean just like you were under Biden and Obama? Your life ain't changed not a lick, huh?

If you been paying attention I keep saying I'm trolling yall simply because yall are panicking over every little fukking thing. I think it's absolutely hilarious that yall are acting like this when nothing this clown ass fool Trump has done has affected you in any way

Why are you so emotional? Your thread was proven to be a false narrative given this investment was under way four years ago. And now you were just trolling everyone.
