  • Hillary Clinton’s campaign was poorly run, but she didn’t invent Trump or get millions of people to vote for him. Trump was set up by 25+ years of extremist Republican media - people like Limbaugh, Murdoch, O’Reilly - and enabled by the “liberal” mainstream media, who wouldn’t stop talking about his stupid shit for the 2 years leading up to the campaign, and are doing the same thing this time.






  • Lets see, I just looked it up in the city I lived in and no. No permit to replace in the same location, but a license is required for people who don’t live in the house where the work is being performed. I wasn’t remotely qualified to do that especially in less than 18 hours, though. My realtor ended up finding a plumber who could come the next morning.


  • Reminds me of when someone came to fix my bathroom floor, which had a hole in it the entire time my house was on the market because some morons from Home Depot who ruined it were disputing whether they’d fix it. So this guy removed the toilet and sink, finished the bathroom floor, awesome… then he said “oh, I can remove the toilet and sink, but I’m not licensed to put them back, sorry” and left. This was the day before closing.


  • Yes, the people who call themselves leftists or communists (on lemmy for instance) often use ‘liberal’ to mean Classic Liberal or Neoliberal, which basically means free-market capitalist. That’s the definition used in Europe. It’s confusing because it is not at all what we mean in the US. Though Democratic Party politicians are definitely mostly capitalist, we use Liberal to refer to being left on social issues in particular, and sometimes also economics.
