It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Of course the wealthy people would think the economy is good. They don’t really see it…

My father and I both got laid off over the summer and are still jobless. My arthritic, immunocompromised, cancer survivor mother would be destitute if not for a family friend paying her bills. My brother is perpetually freelancing because he can't find a solid gig despite having a great portfolio of work. My sister is the only one out of five immediate family members with a full time job, and the company has been going on a layoff spree.

Everything is great, thank you Brandon!!!!

But have you seen how much the line went up under Biden?

:brump: What do you mean that's the COVID deaths since I took office? It looked just like the economy chart...

Also, even in the ways that the economy is doing okay, the mainstream bourgeois publications are like, all predicting that it can't last and is soon to come crashing down soooo

If you look at this graph, you will clearly see the line is going up. What do you mean you're about to get evicted? Do I need to show you the line again?
