My name is Bob and I'm an LSD addict - formerly an alcoholic.
That's about the cost of a Netflix subscription anyway, which has most of the stuff recorded for you. (Yes, newly released TV shows aren't on there, but you can use Hulu for most of that.)
They fought for higher wages, 8 hour days, better working conditions, etc. So that was my response to when the GP said "Long term, wages in the US will fall and they'll rise in China until they eventually meet in the middle."

So if you're using your right hand, how to you say 2?
I was trying to be funny by using more cliches. Sorry.
It doesn't mean what you think it means. Please, "ironically" has been massacred enough already. Let's this word rest for a couple of decades, unless you are one of the two people in the world that actually uses it appropriately.
Ironically, by drawing peoples attention to the word without providing them an explanation of how it ought to be used, YA_Python_dev exacerbated the problem and increased his own suffering...
Plus he threw everyone who uses that expression under the bus. Literally.
Is Ron Paul on that list?
