@no1marauder saidNo.1 shooting from the hip.
Needless to say, the Thatcher quote doesn't make any sense; socialism is about having those by who's labor wealth is created actually benefit from it.
Someone who never did a honest day's work like Maggie could hardly be expected to understand this.
Margaret Thatcher was known for being a workaholic getting by on four hours sleep a night. No1 would be a puddle of jelly on the floor if he tried to keep up with her for 3 days.

@wajoma saidStaying up 20 hours a day trying to figure out how you can screw workers and help the rich isn't as commendable as a lap dog like you thinks.

@wajoma saidThe first thing that twisted drag artist was famous for was stealing milk from children, and it just went downhill after that.
Not much of a feminist are you suzi, guess you'd prefer if a great, determined, strong, intelligent woman stayed in the kitchen making sandwiches:
Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, LG, OM, DStJ, PC, FRS, HonFRSC (née Roberts; 13 October 1925 – 8 April 2013), was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 t ...[text shortened]... zy hair *check* some kind of non-binary whack-a-doodle thing *check* can she do the job *who cares*.
By the time she left office she was generally despised and when she died the song “The Witch is dead” got to number one in the uk charts.
She was a disgusting Uber Tory monetarist whose gender was immaterial.
@no1marauder saidSocialism seems like it encourages everyone to benefit from wealth, whether or not the beneficiary contributes any labor or not. And you don't seem to understand that anyone receiving a paycheck IS benefiting from their labor. What proponents of socialism seem to favor is making sure that those that take risks and start businesses DON'T benefit from the endeavor in any meaningful way and aren't allowed to benefit anymore that a laborer that punches a timeclock (and can walk away from the enterprise at anytime for any reason and lose nothing).

Haha No I’m pretty sure that’s capitalism, unearned wealth accumulation by investment returns is pretty much it’s key element
Socialism demands a more equitable share for the labouring classes and their contribution to wealth creation.

@no1marauder saidI suspected as such. We know that there are more people - the entire population, effected by inflation than by the abortion situation. So I think in time, that opinion will switch back. We'll see.
The NPR/PBS News Hour/Marist poll completed Friday and Saturday shows Democrats with a 7 point lead in the generic Congressional poll. https://maristpoll.marist.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/NPR_PBS-NewsHour_Marist-Poll_USA-NOS-and-Tables_202206261035.pdf p. 4
Just one poll after the Dobbs decision but it may be a precursor.

@earl-of-trumps saidWith the Fed raising interest rates, it seems highly probable the inflation rate will be moderating before the election.
I suspected as such. We know that there are more people - the entire population, effected by inflation than by the abortion situation. So I think in time, that opinion will switch back. We'll see.
But the fallout from Dobbs is just beginning; half the States will be implementing and enforcing harsh antiabortion penal laws in the next few months. Clinics will close, doctors will be threatened with jail, some States will try to ban abortion drugs and women who have miscarriages will be investigated. The consequences of Dobbs will reverberate throughout the nation.
I really think it's a game changer.
