  • Romania: Far-right candidate Georgescu barred from election

    Jump

  • Seems pretty obvious you haven’t actually interacted with an average leftist, let me tell you, because that is not true…

    No, it most certainly is true. The left has decided that it's acceptable and encouraged to stoop to the level of their enemies. You probably disagree with this because it's a hard truth you don't want to acknowledge; don't worry, I see it all the time.

    There’s a difference between allowing right-wing policy and opening the door to fascism. Should poison be allowed to run for main course?

    Now that's an actual discussion to be had. I, personally, think representative democracies need to go the way of the dodo and we should move to direct voting. I try not to reason about a broken system that is rotten to the core. It's a waste of time and an effective distraction from what we should be doing instead.

  • And my counter to that would be: so? Maybe god’s power isn’t absolute. He can do things, but it takes effort on his part and stops him from doing other things.

  • There hasn’t been any will of the people expressed yet.

    Georgescu, who led polls with 40%

    More lies from the left.

  • Good. Change is slow, but this is moving in the right (left?) direction.

  • Global coffee trade grinding to a halt, hit hard by brutal price hikes

    Jump

  • He may be referring to how coffee shops (even the small ones!) will raises prices higher than their increase in inventory costs.

    Right now, since people know coffee is getting more expensive, coffee shops (even the small ones!) will use that alone as an excuse to charge higher prices.

    Keep in mind, these businesses (even the small ones!) charge what you are willing and able to pay. They are there to maximize profit off of you. It's not about being your friend. It's not about being on the same side. To think otherwise is to be a naive child and useful idiot.

  • As much as I like coffee, it’s now a high-end luxury item that I can no longer afford even occasionally due to everything else raising as well.

    You could always make it yourself. Although caffeine pills are the cheapest way to go if it's really caffeine you're after.

    Paying $3 for a drink was always a scam. Paying $5 is just like getting ripped off by a drug dealer while thinking you're getting the hook up. Complete insanity.

  • The cost of pretty much everything has gone up that much in that time.

    As it turns out, more money in the hands of consumers tends to translate to higher prices.

    It's almost like, and hear me out, it's almost like businesses charge what people are willing to pay, not what goods cost to produce.

  • You're forgetting the most obvious factor: charge the most people are willing to pay.

  • Those factors are being upended by climate change.

    How, exactly?

    It's my understanding that coffee does best in warm climates. Shouldn't global warming, at the very least, change where we grow coffee as opposed to just removing the areas we can grow it in?

  • Finally! I'm so glad people are starting to realize just how much we're getting fucked.

    "Product costs 5% more to bring to market? Better increase the price by 20%!"

  • They're downvoting him because they want the will of the people to be invalidated when it goes against their agenda.

    Stop whining and start doing something 🙄

    Holy crap the shit you people throw to see what sticks only makes me happier I'm never loyal to your side.

  • The downvoters are happy when democracy dies if the democratic vote would support a candidate they don't like.

    It's a major reason why I'm proudly independent at this point. Too many people are too proud to be hypocritical children and throw tantrums whenever they don't get what they want.

    It's time to grow up from that shit.

  • He was talking more about the will of the people, but okay.

    Your feelings are more important.

  • to what extent should the courts intervene with what seems to be a genuinely popular candidate?

    It all depends on who you ask.

    If you ask the average leftist on English-speaking internet forums, they will say the will of the people should always be disregarded in favor of the will of the leftist. They really are that childish.

  • Unfortunately, the left has proven that they're willing to tell a lie often enough until it becomes true. I wish I could take their accusations at face value, but too many of them lie and browbeat when they don't get what they want, see: tantrum.

    It's a big reason why I'm proudly independent these days. Too many of you are hypocrites who are eager to criticize tactics of your enemies and then use them when it suits you.

    Truth is the first casualty of war. We're entering into a global trade war with useful idiots as the footmen. If you spread the FUD surrounding Huawe, for example, you are one of the foot soldiers.

  • You lost because you commented without thinking. You thought your instinctual response was good enough, it wasn't.

    Get used to it.

  • Or could it be that you don’t really care either way and just want to use it as a political football?

    I think we've found the answer!

  • Why don't you ever blame the people voting for establishment politicians?

    They're also sticking to their moral convictions at the cost of human lives since it's becoming clear that the "fall in line crowd" actually isn't falling in line.

    Perhaps the people voting for establishment politicians should take their turn "falling in line" if they care so much about human lives? They'd have to sacrifice some of their greed and entitlement though! I don't think it will happen in my lifetime.
