You'd think an Austrian would be capable of grasping that free doesn't mean free.

German. Woops.
Assuming it's your sister, coming from a country  with a decent social system she should be capable of grasping when people speak about "free education" et al, "but you have to pay taxes!! Its not free!!" is a dumb rebuttal.

That doesn't sound anything like Ronald Reagan.

I mean that sounds like a 21st century political meme. It isn't like Reagan never said any mean things about Democrats they could use.

I would require actual research.

I think your sister is falling back on reruns.

Yeah, but "I didn't leave the Democratic Party - the Democratic Party left me" doesn't really match with the kind of fear-mongering they're going for...

I haven't had any problems using cash...yet. But, if YOU have had problems!

This is brilliant!!!

Okay Kroger/Walmart/ (insert cashless store here), your no change policy is going to cost you in the long run. I use cash for all my purchases. And I plan on continuing to do so. I don't need you to be a bank and hold my money on a card so you can draw interest on my money. And I sure am not going to donate to a charity of your choosing so you can then get a tax write off by using other people's money.

My solution is to pay with cash up to the change IE: the Bill is $23.35 I will give you $23.00 in cash and pay the remainder with a debit or credit card. The 35 cents owed you will now cost you a small fee and I will continue to have my change in my possession and not yours.

If everyone did this, I bet your business would find those coins quickly after only one day of service charges from your card processor.

It's a PLANNEDemic!



I put the images into Google search.
Top Left: Unable to find news story, but I find it in a right-wing Wordpress article from 2012, linked to "Muslim Riots in Australia". Police uniform looks Australian.
Bottom Left: West Australia cop beaten up in a pub brawl in Western Australia 2006.
Bottom Right: Officer David Rudd who broke up a fight on Christmas Day 2009 in Wyndham, Western Australia.
Top Right: officer attacked by a man in Brighton-Le-Sands, New South Wales, April 2019.

I'd correct this on my sister's timeline, but the response this got in the past is, "Well, but they're still attacking/hurting/killing innocent police officers." It's about the content of the message, not of the facts behind the images.

The most soul-destroying part about these Covid conspiracy theories is that a lot of them are probably cooked up in Russia.  The degree of sociopathy required to sabotage pandemic response for the purposes of geopolitical shit-stirring is beyond my comprehension.

Saying that Confederate soldiers died to free black slaves might be considered misleading.

Cash fanatics are a weird breed. Why the hell would you want to use cash? It's inconvenient af.

This is EXACTLY what is happening.

That jives well with Trump's reelection slogan, "Keep America Great."
