Through itself , literally translated , but used to mean the same thing as necessarily . <| sep |> yeah every region in italy has its own culinary tradition . I know it ' s strange for you because you only have fish and chips over there P <| sep |> Nothing empty about Bernie ' s promises . Like that time he promised to release his tax returns , right ? That seems like a really simple and straightforward thing he could ' ve done , after promising for months to do it , to prove he actually gave a shit about keeping promises . How did that end up going , again ? His policies already exist full time here in NorwaySome of his policies were mathematically impossible , like when he said his health care plan would save the US more money per year on prescription drugs than were actually spent per year on prescription drugs , so I very seriously doubt they existed in Norway or anywhere else . Similarly , when asked for specifics on stuff like his plan to break up the banks , he completely fell apart NY daily news interview . The dude didn ' t have the first fucking clue how he ' d do any of that shit . Another big chunk of his policies were populist garbage , like putting farmers and stayathome moms on the Federal Reserve Board . 0 % chance he ever intended to do that , he just wanted a provocative sound byte to fire up his populist base . And then you have the things that actually do work in other countries college subsidies , singlepayer , which were still empty promises since he knew as well as everyone else that they had a 0 % chance of making it through Congress . He said stuff because it sounded good . Not because he actually thought it would work he didn ' t have a fucking clue or thought it might actually happen overwhelmingly he knew it wouldn ' t . Textbook example of empty promises .
