  • No, modern polling is mostly useless. The respondents skew heavily in one direction (old people that answer the phone).

    There is no sample size big enough to account for a complete cultural shift away from answering phone calls and text messages from people you don’t know.

    Most polls report a response rate of about 90%, as reported by a PEW analysis of available studies. However, that is a made up number which does not account for attrition (quitters) or non-response to panel recruitment (no answers). If you include those numbers the real response rate is about 3%. Which means between the initial contact and giving their opinion 97% of people asked don’t participate in a given poll.



  • No you nailed it. The meme is a poor metaphor because it implies that the system has ever been superman or that OP believes it to have been superman.

    Or that capitalism only behaves like Homelander when times are tough.

    For many people Capitalism has always treated them like Homelander. For many people they’ve never seen the Superman fascade.

    So this meme reads as though the creator only recently learned some world history, or has some privilege in life but is becoming aware of reality for others.

    You could also fix it by just having Homelander say “I’m you!”









  • So your plan to fix capitalism is to do nothing?

    How exactly does preventing the working class technicians from working fix capitalism?

    Yes it is you with a poor grasp of what this software is for.

    Ok? I know what techs and service writers use CDK for, I was one for many years. I used CDK and ERA/Reynolds.

    Hint: if it’s not for selling cars then how does it affect poor people the most?

    By preventing techs from working and service writers from writing, they can’t even order parts to fix cars. And it’s not just dealerships that use this software, that’s a pretty ignorant and classist assumption to make about a huge segment of the working class population.

    Despite your insane ramblings you’ve yet to explain how so I’m waiting to hear whatever excuse you pull from your ass.

    Ok.






  • It’s a chilling effect on anyone who might criticize Israel.

    The same thing Trump does to disloyal Republicans. “Won’t toe the line? We’ll primary you.”

    So now when deciding on whether genocide is bad, the cowards in congress have a foreign controlled organization breathing down their necks.

    Go read the AIPAC wikipedia. Between actively spying for the Israeli Government (Lawrence Anthony Franklin, Air Force Colonel, passed classified info to two AIPAC officials and an offical of the Israeli government. He got 13 years. Charges were dropped against AIPAC), and financially supporting 37 Republicans that voted against certifying the 2020 election, AIPAC is a right-wing organization designed to turn the US political establishment against the beliefs of the majority of US Jews in favor of a Trump/Netanyahu flavor of crony government.
