Umm, they said that making the wealthy wealthier would result in more investment .,, but what trickle down economics gave us was banks too big to fail taking unreasonable risks, devastating retirement accounts, and having the taxpayers foot the bill. Yeah, no, the wealth class will keep squeezing because they never have enoughâ¦. And they can.

Standardized tests are still the best way to quickly identify those not quite ready for college... Unless one is a legacy applicant at an ivy league school - then one is accepted into the elite school regardless of how mediocre their mind is.

When the government released fund very quickly (pandemic free "loans" to businesses under the last administration) those vying for the funds tended to lie cheat and mega-plunder the system - including the government officials that pushed for fast easy money for "the people". So slow is not necessarily bad. Also, keep in mind that while the oil companies are continuing to earn record profits at the pumps and are still receiving generous government subsidies, those corporations have zero interest in allowing electric vehicles to become the primary mode of transportation in the USA. Their lobbyists are no doubt spending a lot of time and money making sure that law makers keep making it difficult to access the funds.

Provide the citation to support your assertation...it is very much like the currently popular "who to blame sound-bite" spouted by certain politicians knowing many of their constituents accept as "fact" anything they hear 3 times because it is something they really want to believe.

Hillary?... not Ivanka, Jared, Pompeo, Nikki Haley, Betsy DeVos, David Shulkin, Peter O’Rourke, K.T. McFarland, Kelly Craft, John Gore, etc.? ... go back to facebook where there are sill some russian bot accounts that will "like" your comment.

I read at least one novel a week... all eBooks borrowed from the library ... no one that actually likes to read would be fooled by all the fakes lined up on shelves, especially when the owner of those fakes starts to talk.

This company makes bank on not only selling electronics - they collect information on all of their users and then repackages and sells that info. What you view, text, shop for, say, and now Apple Watch even logs women’s fertility cycles* - is all captured and made available for a price. Employees must not publicly make fun of the preverbal cash cows. *** There is bound to be some gop nutcase that wants to know if a Texas teen did not ovulate and suddenly decides to take a trip to a free state if he can catcher the girl “ resetting” her cycle, he might be able to get a cash reward, with the bonus of having the dividends from his private prison stock increase when the teen is sentenced to 25 years in prison)

Yes the world is overpopulated⦠we have already passed âoe0vershoot dayâ - the point where people have used all the resources the planet can produce in a year. The issue is that the economy must grow for corporate profits. So far we have been carelessly reproducing people because corporations want to sell more, and more people equal more consumption. We have known that we must development a self-sustaining economy, but too many people want more instead of enough. No worries, Mother Nature will resolve the over- population issue⦠life will not be easy for future generations.

Talen is talent - a corporation pays a salary to someone that gets a job done regardless of where they choose to live, clothes they choose to wear, or mode of transportation they choose. After years of remote enterprise IT work for one of the largest corporations that does not pay taxes in the USA, I can attest that remote IT workers not only put in more hours on the job than the office folks in the cube farms, we were also more effective at dealing with emergency situations due to fewer distractions and more time on screen (we did not have extended lunches, coffee breaks, office birthday parties, or endless unproductive meetings). My compensation and yearly raises were based on the quality of my work for the corporation, not how many miles I put in to commute... as it should be - regardless of your anecdotal story of one employee.

No one wants to be subject to being sued for a porn filter that will always be a bit "crabby" ... the only solution is for smartphone/tablet sellers to not make any product available within the state. Let users import their favorite devices - the religious nutters can filter their own devices.

yup.... a doctor giving economic advice and a teevee host/president giving medical advice are both best ignored. Remember when the USA had adults in charge?

I've been working 2nd shift remotely for a number of years - everyone was highly productive because there was shift level oversight online in a chat that all shift workers had to be in, and each tech-stack also had their own chat with an sme - all in chat all shift, along with phone conference at the begining and end of each chift - the job we had was high stress and required the team(s) to work together to be successful, and we were awesome - there were times we accomplished what seemed impossible. I will admit that the group of people hired by my company were all exceptional people in their field, so it could be your company hired duds or- your company never examined how to manage remote workers.

"the sums spent by religious organizations on social programs have tripled in the past 15 years, to $9 billion" ... which coincides with W's faith-based initiatives government fund give away to religion - W believed that religious organizations could more efficiently provide social services. As a result, when it comes to charity or social programs, religion may put their name on what service is being offered, but taxpayer money is paying the bill .... Obama renamed the giveaway to "community and faith-based initiative", but a skunk by any other name is still a skunk. There is an industry around filing grant requests, and little to no auditing of the funds. If a grant is under $300,000.00 then self audit is all that is required (religious organizations would not lie in an audit any more than they would not contrive to cover up one of their leaders engaging in child rape).... And it is difficult to get any clear information on how much taxpayer money is distributed yearly under the initiative - or to find out who is getting it and for what purpose.

Parents should be teaching their children to LOOK both ways before going out into the street. Think I learned that in the junior safety patrol.
