Republicans and "human capital"

Hi everyone. I’m hoping someone can help me since I’ve been looking and cannot find it.

I recall reading or seeing a video a while back on republicans talking about Americans as “human capital”. The gist (as I recall) was an argument saying that this is why they are against abortion and education … they need cheap and dumb, poor and desperate labor.

Does anyone recall this or did I just make it up in my head?

Thanks in advance!

What if Hur overstepped Garland?

What if garland told him to change the report and he went over his head?

Would garland’s hands be tied to speak? Can he be fired without garland looking partisan?

Just a thought. Good day whoever reads this since I’m not one of the popular ones on here.

I suspect Texas is trying to get rid of liberals

This abortion thing is also designed to get people who don’t agree to leave the state, thereby securing it’s red status for generations.

It absolutely is the guns.

True story:

20 year old child of a relative was 4.0 student. Athlete. Scholar. Popular. Never a single sign of any issues.

Six months ago said child began exhibiting off behaviors and complete personality change. Started failing classes in university. Lost all friends. Began acting aggressive. Diagnosed with bipolar and acute manic psychosis.

Last night became very agitated and argumentative and hostile and quite scary from what was described and grabbed a knife and punctured mom’s tire. That’s a big deal right? But that’s the worst damage that was done!

Today we count our blessings that there is no gun humping culture in this family. In a gun humping family something tells me a knife and a tire would not be in the story.

Mental health is an issue. Gun humping makes it all worse.

Effects of war?

I am wondering about all the images of WWII of cities in Europe flattened by the war where did the civilians go to not get bombed?

For all the GOP pearl clutching about Jewish people

Not deserving to have to hide in classrooms etc and it flew by all their heads that our CHILDREN have been doing that for decades! Pearl clutching = non sincere concern by republicans

Clueless repukes at the debate tonight.



Edited to add emphasis it’s republicans doing the Pearl clutching about Jewish people while at the same time being non concerned about American children.
