I'm actually against depictions like this. You never see similar tropes on male politicians, or certainly nowhere in the same number. Sexism, and to some extent misogyny, is alive and well, when we reduce women politicians to simply what they wear.

If you saw any of male pols/congressman sporting purple or burgundy suits, you would see the same depictions.

Those in black, navy blue, or gray, be they male or female, generally aren’t getting made fun of.

Ganny makes a good point. Professional women can wear bolder and brighter colors then men so why can’t women politicians?

Is mocking trump as Chester Cheetah because of his orange skin and combover comparable?

I haven’t seen someone assume that many positions to appease the crazy Republicans since Stormy Daniels

Rep. Nancy Mace as a Comedian? She’s Got Jokes (About Fellow Republicans).

That is sexist. Men and women should be treated the same.

Age and what it brings is not a choice.

What should society's obligation be to those that are unable to take care of themselves because of their own choices? People who choose not to work? Choose to be houseless? Choose to take drugs and become addicted?

Economic value is not the total of a person's value but it is a part and has been from the beginning of Homo Sapiens. People who would argue otherwise are denying (social) science.

Hunter gatherers measured a person’s economic value? Do we use the same metrics today?

What should workers do in a society where their economic value is diminished/unrealized?

Everyone has value. I’m not going to sweat those who game the system anymore than I would sweat trust fund babies.

You serious Clark? Is the most desirable cave chick wanting to procreate with the best hunter not a way of measuring economic value? I don't think the metrics are the same but the underlying principles are.

What should workers do in a society where their economic value is diminished/unrealized? That's a really broad question and it depends on the situation. The obligation to a worker who was injured on the job and is no longer able to work is different than it is to an able-bodied worker whose job has been eliminated by automation or to a worker who didn't like their job options and decided to not work anymore.

Yes I’m serious, Mort. Caveman mating desirables are a weird way to philosophize about prehistoric economics.

We are obligated as a society to provide for all. Or should it be solely based on economic productivity? Age, physical limitations, worker injury, mental disorders, addiction, all play rolls in ability to work.

And don’t get me started on the economics of want vs. need. You can’t have a producer class without a working class full of wants.

We’re probably closer to agreement in this than you might think. Again, similar to regulations, it’s just arguing degrees.

How would you quantify prehistoric economics? Societies throughout history that have rewarded economic productivity.

I don't think we have an obligation to provide for all. If someone is capable of working and won't, society isn't obligated to take care of them. Ancient societies would have ridiculed and driven them away.

We live in an age where most people can and should take care of themselves and that includes in retirement. I drive a 10+ year old car and live modestly. I don't think my income and the retirement nest egg that I've worked hard and sacrificed to build should be taxed to help someone who buys new cars every 5 years; has the latest, greatest iPhone; and likes to eat out afford retirement. The government would be punishing good behavior and rewarding bad behavior and that's fvcked up.

I think we should be helping those who truly can't help themselves but I likely believe the qualifications (mental health, disability, etc.) to be considered are much stricter than you do. Addiction isn't an absolute yes for inclusion.

How we define community and how we help each other as a community shouldn't just be about the government taking from those that have and giving to those that don't.

Whatever we do, we shouldn't lose our pioneer, can-do spirit. That means the freedom to make choices and take responsibility for the results is just as important as community. We are culturally different from our cousins who didn't leave Europe in that regard and it's an important part of who we are. To deny that is to deny (social) science.

You were the one that brought up “from the beginning of Homo sapiens”.

That’s debatable and there’s a school of thought that hunter-gatherer cultures were fairly egalitarian, they traded objects but obviously had no official currency, and actually spent less time than modern man at “working”…creating more time for leisure. I’m really just picking nits.

“Can and should” are ideal but (looks around) unrealistic. Life is a struggle, even for the privileged. I’m not advocating for the nanny state, but circling back, this started with Nathan G. Robinson stating society should take care of those who can’t take care of themselves. That’s all.

Now…back to the mines…

I would think playing soccer with the decapitated heads of sinners and political adversaries has to be on the list of memorable sporting events. Followed by games of shooting down Hind D’s.

Soccer or buzkashi?

She would appear to be an ignorant imperialist who expects people of other cultures to be knowledgeable and care about American history. I wonder if she's so clueless that she doesn't realize that Gandhi, a Hindi, was a major influence on MLK Jr.
