My job told me to apply for SNAP.
What do you call the current day administration?
The establishment is probably pissed because it lets people bypass paywall content.
It is very short sighted to think manufacturing is not beneficial to our society.
He never said he doesn't value more manufacturing, just that he doesn't want more manufacturing jobs. Those aren't the same things, which is something the US electorate has been slow to learn.
Ask yourself why healthcare is so expensive relative to the rest of the planet. After salaries, the biggest cost to any employer is paying for health insurance. This is problem unique to only the USA.
I'm not scared of China one bit. Their goal to become a super power through mega scale manufacturing and cranking out engineers is loud and clear. Their goal is China first. The past few decades have seen an explosion of Chinese middle class just like what happened here post war.
Contrast to this country. The government is at a standstill because people want to keep their healthcare coverage. Oh sorry we can't allow healthcare because a black guy instituted it.
I mean they give him participation trophies because he owns the course. He really thinks its because he's good at golf.
Amtrak is hamstrung for one major reason. There is a law saying Amtrak gets priority over freight on rail lines. Now here comes the however. Most freight trains are longer than the outdated spur lines. Meaning they can't go anywhere but the destination which causes delays for Amtrak. I'm sure all the privately owned rail lines will make longer spur lines their top priority.
If they want to win, the people need to see and experience the true impact of the laws passed by the Republicans.
That has been happening. More importantly, people need to see that Democrats are willing to stand up and fight rather than just rolling over for every nasty thing the Republicans are doing.
The Democrats are just terrible at strategy. Really, really bad.
In the sense that the elder Democratic Party leadership kept trying to play by the rules while the Republicans proved they are dishonest sociopathic fucks incapable of fair and honest behavior, you are correct. What we are seeing right now is that the younger Democratic leadership are taking charge and not playing along with Republican dishonesty any more. And again, part of the Democratic Party regaining support is proving by action that they are willing to fight.
Add to that, government shutdowns are just stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. The laws have already been passed, and now we just have to write the check to pay for what was already done. And trying to use it as a tool to force Republicans - many of whom would be happy if the government were shutdown forever - to negotiate? Not going to work.
Democrats negotiated and the party consensus is that Schumer "caved" last March during the prior budget negotiations. And what happened right after March? Republicans promptly RENEGED ON THE AGREEMENTS anyways, first canceling many promised policy votes and then using "rescission" to remove approved funding from various programs. The Republicans proved that they cannot be trusted.
So now the Democrats are actually fighting. And they're making it clear that this time, they're not just going to cave. And the proof that it's actually working? Look at Tuesday's election results.
EVERY open governor's race went Democrat, and not only that, all three beat the polling predictions by a pretty big margin.
California voted to redistrict and say "Fuck Texas" by an almost 2/3 majority.
Pennsylvania retained all 3 Democratic supreme court members by double-digit margins.
Dear Retarded MAGA Fuckwit and Likely Pedophile:
Why aren't the victims naming the people who victimized them? Because they are scared for their safety since many of the offenders are in powerful positions, like Treasonous Pedophilic Sack of Criminal Shit Donald Judas Trump.
Oh, and BTW, was Epstein accused of pedophilia? The official charges were: sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors. Read that again and again until you understand it, you Dishonest Fucking Lying Pedophile.
