United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Inflation and DeSantis
333·3 years agoThis is idiocy. DeSantis has no control over the borrowing and spending of federal funds which is the underlying cause of inflation in the general economy. The reason prices may be increasing more in FLA is that people are moving there in droves from Democratically controlled hellholes like California, New York, Illinois, NJ, etc. because DeSantis has made FLA a better place to live.

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•DeSantis keeps looking like a Trump copycatEnglish
05·3 years agoIt’s easy to see why DeSantis would be a better version of Trump. He has more personal integrity and he is less of a blowhard. He actually gets things done instead of just talking big.

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Will Donald Trump debate his GOP rivals? Republicans are trying to pressure him into itEnglish
05·3 years agoProbably doesn’t matter much. If you don’t have a definite fixed opinion on Trump at this point, you are probably comatose and won’t be voting.
You should be able to boot from an SD card, a USB drive, or a CD to try out Linux without actually installing it on your computer’s hard drive.

19·3 years agoYour logic lesson for today:
The genetic fallacy is the act of rejecting or accepting an argument on the basis of its origin rather than its content. Under the genetic fallacy, we judge a claim by paying too much attention to its source or history, even though this criticism is irrelevant to the truth of the claim.
If you understand the genetic fallacy you should realize that calling the originator of the argument a name is insufficient to refute the argument.

15·3 years agoThat is strange. I saw it on Twitter just minutes ago.

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Both Trump and Biden deserve blame for this:English
04·3 years agoGranted spending exploded under Trump but it has been maintained at an unnaturally high level under Biden.

Switched years ago. I don’t recall that it took a lot of effort.

11·3 years agoShould we start with a discussion of epistemology?
Used to sleep on my stomach but after I read that it was bad for me, started sleeping on my side. I now prefer to sleep on my side.







That it’s filled with Marxists.
