She wasn’t a teacher, or working for a school. She was working for some factory in Tenn. and quit, which she was already preparing to do, when she did that interview. These rumors are just fiction.

The economic system is as big apart of my life as the chronic medical issues I was born with. Don’t know how your life functions without regards to the economy. It has been easier to get medical intervention on my medical issues, than to get society to make the economy fair. Human behavior is part of life, these abstract systems we create are a direct result of that.

It killed the US middle class, or better, was one of the bigger factors in doing so. The American middle class was strongest post war until the late 70s. That was when our economic policies shifted to off-shoring as much labor as possible, and when the Chinese special economic zone polices were started, in cooperation with the US. The loss of manufacturing jobs in the following decades gutted the US middle class.

Listen, had you not eaten the crayons, and had the Army infantry not inhaled everything with chemical fumes, we could have nice things, like painted rocks. Until then, maybe we can compromise with a monitored use system.

the system works - for them! You spend your hard earned money and help support their death

All of these social programs suddenly become much more popular when they are restricted to the majority population. There have been surveys demonstrating this. Another way to see it is to point to places with a lot of those policies, one of the first rebuttals you will receive is a yarn about the homogeneous population, or at least one far more so, in those places.

So, it isn’t that they think they won’t be covered, it is because so many think it will cover people they don’t want it to.

pseudopsychology might be the term

Does someone need a court martial?

There was a man here who had his citizenship revoke through denaturalization. He owned several businesses, had like 6 kids. But since he divorced his first wife, with whom he had kids, after 10 years of being married, then married another person, for almost 20 years, with whom he had more kids, they decided he got his green card from a fraudulent marriage, done just for the green card.

The whole city was pissed. But it’s been 7 years, and he is still gone.

Post the list online, and take advantage of crowd sourcing?

Something about infrastructure

Man, the marines already ate the crayons, you know the infantry will just huff away all the scented markers. Then we will need to propose a new budget for things like pencils, and that means running the bidding process to design the pencils, produce the raw materials, make the pencils, ship them…

New, rule, markers are for non-infantry only.

You need Credible Defense, This is Non-Credible Defense, where we specialize in stupid shit-posting.

Already happening. In this region a LOT of manufacturing workers voted for him. Now most of them are looking at significant reductions in compensation because their companies are all rebudgeting to prepare for the tariff proposals the GOP has written. Now they are all mad, though I wonder how many understand that they need to be blaming who they voted for, rather than immigrants, communists, and queer people.

If he dies before they are able to really get the structural changes in P2025 off the ground, Trump’s death will likely instigate the death of the movement. If it dies after that the P2025 restructuring has happened, won’t matter.

Oh, I agree. I think the amount of energy lost, when Trump dies, will be a huge blow to the MAGA movement. Will it be a coup de grace? I fucking hope so. However, if they get their project 2025 governmental structure into place, I think it will be hard to dethrone the GOP, even without Trump. I also believe that is the true hope behind that platform. They know their cult of personality is on a timer, so they are hoping to get things set-up, where they still have complete control, regardless of how motivated the cult is.

That was only the end of it though. Through most of it, many aspects of the economy were better, for most people. He was just as complicit in why inflation, housing costs, etc. got so bad. However, do you think most people understand how the free money given, mostly under Biden, as a stimulus to the populace, had little effect on the inflation vs financial institutions drowning in oceans of free money, for 20 years? Do you think most people are even aware that was going on? Do you think most of them understand how private equity, and changes in its regulation, caused the housing cost crisis, and not supply being overwhelmed by the demand of immigrants?

I talked to someone I used to do underwriting, for things like mortgages, a few months back. He bought the immigrants buying up all the housing line. He just refused to believe private equity, something he definitely understands, is responsible, regardless of the fact that even those private equity institutions’ data say they are at fault. It is much easier to say “housing unaffordable, close border” than to have to address the massive systemic changes that need to be made.

Then it just goes to someone as shitty, but likely much smarter

What about this statement means the people thinking this way aren’t adult children? It seems you are just pointing out cognitively/emotionally immature ways of thinking here.

Literally every ad for the GOP was about how the democrats are going to destroy the country by allowing in foreigners, supporting the LGBTQ community, and supporting women’s primary voting issues. Even when the ad was about a specific thing with none of that involved, at least one of those things would be mentioned.
