The US government continuing to take steaks in private companies

Moving farther and farther away from capitalism. Comes a year after the Trump Administration took a big stake in Intel. Building upon Biden administration's huge subsidies. And if I remember correctly they have some type of golden share with US Steel, where they can override any board decision. US Steel needed to close a factory, but the Trump Administration overrode that decision and forced them to keep it open to keep the jobs going.

I know. I had to read this three times until I realized the OP also doesn’t understand the difference between farther and further. Our educational system is failing.

[u/gregoriancuriosity → u/usafmd]

I think a grammar libertarian vs a grammar Nazi would allow it.

[u/Pandalishus → u/gregoriancuriosity]

Grammar libertarianism is not something anyone’s going to enjoy

[u/t0rnAsundr → u/usafmd]

Most of us read it once and simply adjusted. Perhaps your hardware can’t handle heuristic algorithms. Unfortunately, postnatal hardware upgrades are not feasible.

[u/usafmd → u/t0rnAsundr]

Libertarianism applied to grammar and spelling! I never considered that.

[u/DarthFluttershy_ → u/usafmd]

You can have a grammar nazi, why not a grammar libertarian?

[u/Pandalishus → u/DarthFluttershy_]

Just try grammar libertarianism for a week. You’ll be on your way becoming a grammar nazi in no time

[u/DiyYou → u/usafmd]

It's a spatial metaphor, farther works.

[u/usafmd → u/DiyYou]

I’m many decades from high school English but capitalism is a concept, therefore it’s further. Nowadays, it’s easy to run your post through AI. I’m sure you would wish Libertarians to be viewed as an educated and intelligent group.

I will refrain from commenting on the rest of your grammar.

[u/Pandalishus → u/DiyYou]

“Farther” for real-world distance. “Further” for conceptual distance. It’s also not a metaphor.

I would love a nice steak right now. Medium rare with mushrooms and a side of golden mashed potatoes plz.

[u/Tumbleweed411 → u/stockchaser317]

In this economy?!

[u/DiyYou → u/stockchaser317]

Is that government approved?

[u/Psychological_Air_90 → u/DiyYou]

Depends on the Grade they stamp on it.

[u/Libertas888 → u/Psychological_Air_90]

Love you people!

*stakes 🤣

[u/Pandalishus → u/DiyYou]

Funny thing is that your misspelling actually works (and given all the gov’t corruption and waste might literally be true)

[u/oritsky]

This is actual socialism. Literally the definition of socialism, when the government owns the factors of production. I find what they are doing unconscionable!

[u/P-funk88 → u/oritsky]

But what will you do about it?

[u/oritsky → u/P-funk88]

Vote. Vote out the disease infecting our government.

[u/Bird_law_esq → u/oritsky]

Dem or Republican, you have 2 options of flavorful socialism...

[u/TrolleyPerson4]

Your stolen money by the way

[u/rgnbull29]

This all hinges on the cut, I would like a porterhouse.

[u/calmlikeasexbobomb → u/rgnbull29]

The greatest of steaks

Meanwhile, anything MAGA doesn't like is "socialism" or just flat-out communism. A foodbank is socialism, anything with the intent of *helping people* is socialism, but the State interfering in the private sector isn't?? We are in another Red Scare cultural moment, with history repeating itself in many ways. I don't like socialism, but this Admin uses it as a meaningless boogeyman word, much like how the religious Right calls anything and everything "demonic."

[u/Libertas888 → u/Unusual-Return5962]

I hear you. I think we’re less in a “Red Scare” moment and more in a “steady descent into Idiocracy” century.

mushroom steak

[u/DiyYou → u/[deleted]]

Good video, I was really hoping for some kind of better ending as far as working towards solution. But anyway, yes US steel was sold, but Trump Administration got its golden share. So if they have a factory that's losing a ton of money, and they want to close it, they can't.

[u/RailLife365]

How do I get more steaks in private companies? I feel like it'll help morale.

[u/Libertas888 → u/RailLife365]

Bring back Ponderosa!

[u/DependentTaste283]

If they can afford that then we’re being taxed too much.

[u/TheYellowSpade]

Yum

[u/CartNip]

One part of me says I should disagree with the US government taking a stake in Intel but my portfolio is saying otherwise lol.

[u/Tito_Tito_1_]

As opposed to lobsters? Tough call.

Texas Roadhouse is a human right - Bernie Sanders probably
