Let’s speculate! When will the next stimulus come? I am ready to get more “stimulated.”

You’re not selling this marriage thing very well.

A little stimmy or two for the joys of marital bliss is a bargain.

Are you still waiting around for government handouts?
You should instead be stepping up like the manly right wing men you loudly praise on this site.

That’s not a nice thing to say about Comfy. I think he has many productive working years ahead. He probably should use them instead of waiting for government handouts like a weak unmanly liberal leftist wokester.

At the last Australian election, Labor promised to cut 20% off student debt. That was around 220,000 NTD for me.
So if voting “woke” one year means 220,000NTD less in student debt for me, I’m all for it.
Let’s be honest… if someone handed you a bag of cash, you wouldn’t refuse it out of principle.
And thankfully the Labour party was elected and the followed through on their promise and the 20% has shown in my account. It was so successful in garnering votes that I am betting that the next election will have a similar promise 
Might even become bipartisan?

The fact that the government is supporting marital harmony is just icing on the cake.

There’s a lot of things I wouldn’t do for money but voting for the other side of the coin is not one of them. Boy that was a juicy student debt discount for me

I would not accept money to vote for either side.

For those of us with principles, it would depend on the terms…

Strangely, one might vote for reasons other than what is best for their bottom line, and might have a few questions before just accepting a big of cash. Money, once you have the basics covered, should not be the most important thing in your life (and even before, perhaps not).
I wouldn’t expect a fish to know what it’s like to be a dog, either

People almost always vote in what they see as their own best interests.
Homeowners vote for policies that protect property values. Retirees vote for parties that protect pensions. Business owners vote for tax cuts and deregulation. Workers vote for wage growth and job security.
Student debt relief just happens to fall into that same category for me.
It’s not strange, it’s how democracy has always worked.
It is just that in American democracy you have big business and health insurance giving lots of “donations” to both major political parties. So I guess you’re not used to real democracy.

And that, combined with not paying attention and not actually knowing what’s what, is why the voting public, as a whole, is so easily manipulated and keep getting surprised at what they voted for .
Ok but how about you try refusing 220,000NTD
