No, it wasn't coined by the US as an insult. It referred to countries that were neither in the US sphere of influence (~"1st world"), nor in the USSR sphere of influence (~"2nd world").

I assure you, there was nothing accidental in his speech. That was practiced until perfection, and the only 'accidents' were when he was caught by surprised by the rowdiness of the crowd and couldn't continue his speech for a bit.

If only they'd put "North East South West" (N-E-S-W, or just fucking arrows!) on those. Problem solved.

Her hope was that they'd recognize that government can be a force for good, and that taxation is OK if it gets you results.

And yet the young people in the audience listened to capitalist propaganda about "Trickle down economy" and "Taxes are too damn high".

And it then confuses the public discourse, as evidence with the April 2021 Chauvin trial (MW: "I believe it was 1st degree murder")

In the US, due to the multi-degree scale, the public is sometimes labeling someone as murderer who doesn't really deserve it.

... precisely to maintain a clear cut meaning for "murder". That way, if you say "murderer", it always means 'Really wanted to do it'. (2?)

Your proposal chases AOC away while making Betsy DeVos and others like her more powerful. /thread

Betsy DeVos is a billionaire - she doesn't need the salary. Ocasio-Cortez was a bartender, she needs her salary.

They then need to mount an expensive re-election campaign which costs money and they are supposed to donate to that campaign.

US House Representatives earn barely enough to afford to stay permanently in Washington for their 2 year tenure.

All it achieves is chase politicians into the arms of lobbyists and those who "want favors" in exchange for donations.
