It's one of those cruel ironic twists. Wages actually have increased, but inflation has far outpaced them.

It's only barely begun to level back out. The real question is if the wages will stay high once inflation (and greedflation) calms the fuck down.

Maybe if he forgets half the shit he's said that directly contradicts the other half, and doesn't try to nuke a hurricane over Mexico.

Larger population means larger representation. If you say the Netherlands only has about 100,000 idiots, that's roughly half a percent of their population.

Half of a percent of the US population is over 1.5 million. And I promise you, we have a waaaaaaay higher percentage of idiots than that.

That or military districts. It doesn't matter though, the Republicans had enough votes to pass it on their own. These Dems are, exactly as you say, just playing it safe at home.

If you want to do all that performative reddit bullshit for attention, go back there and do it. No one will stop you.

Surely it's the rapid growth and massive profits that are the problem? Not a lack of energy infrastructure planning or regulation.

This is some text book projection. Maybe talk to a professional about it. And yeah, you probably should stay away from cartoons and kids until you get these repressed urges figured out.

Yestsin won with 58 and 54 percent of the vote in his two elections, hardly a 'landslide':

Putin's lowest was 53, in his first election. The latest was 88%, with most of the others being in the 70% range.

Historically though, Russians, have a way of guaranteeing results like that. Yeltsin is kind of a low percentage outlier by comparison:

Some of the oldest porn is cartoons scratched into rocks, get off your golden age of porn high horse, or get off with it if that's your thing.
