That’s gotta be old, unless the Tweet of God reactivated his account. Let me check. It was great.

 

This is the second time recently I’ve seen this from a Republican. It might be an emerging talking point.

There are major staffing shortages reported in every sector from big companies to small businesses to police departments to air traffic control.

We have a population loss that is starting to show severe effects because over 63 million people have been murdered in the womb.

Whether irony or sincerity, that last part is hilarious

So many people cosplay as revolutionaries from the comfort of their couches. Probably not a good idea to openly admit being a fifth column though. pic.twitter.com/QZmgzuia6v

I'm sorry, but as someone who flies often, the last thing I want is a fetus in charge of air traffic control!

 

Next Marj should personally calculate the amount of splooge wasted by young 'Merican males and how that could've been turned into sperm banks to make babies to address the staffing shortages.

 

Marj wants us to breed for capitalism.

 

I pray that the right makes depopulation the Next Big Problem. Because it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to know that there's an extraordinarily easy solution that doesn't involve making abortion a crime.

 

Cloning?

 

Good point

Making gays illegal and force them to reproduce heterosexually?

Republicans would certainly take that approach before allowing more immigrants in to fill job vacancies!

 

In the short term, yes. Capitalism, as we know it, depends on growth and the easiest way to grow is to have a larger population as that adds consumers and producers.

But in the long term, no. Her ideas come from a place far older than capitalism, and fundamentally they are not compatible. Capitalism works by providing people with pleasures that turn into necessities all for creating a life that is more than just serving your lord and making more babies. Even without abortion a rising standard of living means less children. As my mother likes to joke when asked why she had a child every year for four years and then stopped, "that's the year we bought a television".

 

I like your mom!

 

Loud and clear......

“We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media… We’re going to come after you—whether it’s criminal or civilly, we’ll figure that out. But yeah, we’re putting you all on notice and Steve, this is why they hate us. This is why we’re tyrannical.”

— Trump adviser Kash Patel, in an interview with Steve Bannon, saying Donald Trump is serious about revenge.

 

The new version of "some people say"...

I don't care who the signatories are. But I note an evolution in how these things work. The interns say they "can no longer be silent". But the letter is anonymous. It claims 40 signatories but there are actually are no signatories. in the old fashioned sense of signing it.

This totally makes sense, in so many ways

Tesla can sell the CyberTruck to hundreds of law enforcement agencies as their standard patrol vehicle.

Elon Musk’s Mad Max fantasies only work with old-style mechanical vehicles and ample stockpiles of gasoline. Cybertrucks that are dependent on the internet and charging stations won’t do much good in that scenario. https://t.co/559gQCCqxt

It would fit into Musk's(and TBH, most "free market" republicans) standard approach, which is "build something and figure out how to get the government to buy it for 10x what it should cost."

 

And that’s officially a wrap on the new conservative generation of leaders. pic.twitter.com/LDNBY5I1ro
