The average person who's screaming and yelling is absolutely pissed because they want to be absolutely pissed and are looking for something to be absolutely pissed about.
He’s just a bullshit politician with no real beliefs. He says what he thinks will get him elected. The black folks in South Bend had very little use for him. I’ll make whatever jokes I want about him because his comment about a racist overpass was a joke. And yea he should go back on family leave. He’s the one taking stupid pictures in a hospital bed like he had a kid. We’re supposed to all play along or be called some phobe. Screw it. He better stay away from CRT or those suburban women will throw his ass in the street like McAuliffe.
Since blacks haven’t exactly flocked to him, he’s working overtime to kiss ass. Just another politician playing to the crowd. No real beliefs. Just playing the game.
So put you down for not giving a f about past decisions that advertently or inadvertently made some communities take the brunt of the negative impacts (which was surprisingly consistent trend in most cities it went through) to make an effort to not f#$k over those same communities this time?
I highly doubt Pete "crushes" with anyone other than the far left at this point - a group that isn't doing so hot at the moment after VA, Buffalo, education, and the Defund nonsense. He was the mayor of a tiny town and MIA with his agency during a crisis with same. Pointing out racism in midcentury urban planning is hardly novel and common knowledge that it exists. Urban planning 101. Pete has proven himself to be worthless - tho his virtue signaling game is solid.
I hope Mayor Pete takes some of his billions and plows up Meridian Hills, Castleton, Zionsville, Carmel, Traders Point, Westfield, Allisonville, Saint John and Fishers. That should right some wrongs.
Nope. He's got a whole platform of beliefs.
Mayor Pete wants to do what might get him elected President someday. That has very little to do with his core beliefs.
Assuming of course he shows for work right? Pete was a terrible choice. Harris was a terrible choice. Infrastructure bill was a win. Best thing for Biden is to skip the social spending bill, tone down the virtue signaling, and watch his approval rating rise. Absent that midterms will be ugly.
It's the number one issue we have and during the throes of same he's vacillated from virtue signaling to throwing his hands up. He appeals to few other than the far left, a group, again, that isn't doing so hot.
Again you're playing right into the stereotype that he's going to turn on you. Wait and see.
About that costing life’s. Biden has passed Trump in only 10 months. If we only had those death meter banners on CNN and MSNBC you would know that.
No you are playing into the far left wish list that doesn't comport with reality. You understand that no one gets the leave Pete got right? Nor going forward will anyone get it. The "old guy" stereotype is what will comport with the law going forward for a reason. The values behind same still represent the majority. 12 weeks of paid leave after 8 months on a job isn't happening for any of us.
No, it's an issue, I'll give you that. Its more a private sector issue at that and a global one along with one that hasn't really had an impact so far. Christmas hasn't been cancelled yet.
Taking paternity leave in the crisis we’re in right now was a dereliction of his duties.
Yeah his first week didn't start at 1 either and three months into it.
It's a private/public sector issue. Labor was impacted by gov. To what extent I don't know. Newsom was helpful in determining regs that could be amended to ameliorate the logjam. Pete was home.
Im just saying, he can easily come back with something like 'newborns aren't concerned with your work schedule nor do they apologize for not being convenient' when that gets tossed his way (which it will and you and McM will owe me a beer when he bats it back).
You’re right. The “free stuff” crowd could care less if person is working or not as long as person keeps the money presses printing money for “free stuff”.
You might be right. Stupid people who believe in work ethic are a dying breed.
Oh I know and I actually read, listen and get some really good insights to his posts (other than when he starts talking about soccer of course).
If the 'free stuff' crowd is college educated women in the workplace balancing home and work decisions and living in the suburbs then yes.
Companies are using paid family leave as a big recruiting tool (well, that's what my gf tells me as an HR bigwig for a medical device company).
That's the rub. To me the moral thing to do is sacrifice and go to work. Public service in a time of crisis. The selfish thing to do is stay home. We all want to stay home. Then to take a 250k public salary while staying home ... moral doesn't come to mind.
I like those fancy, local brewery pale ales. Not sure what local tap is at Nick's these days.
Family leave and paternity leave have their place.
In your case I'm guessing you are (admirably) the king, ceo, cfo, coo of your business which comes with the choices for that autonomy of being mainly you on your own. Meaning your business basically depends on the input you put in, like most small businesses, and if you don't 'show up' or 'take leave', you're going to piss off the large base that you individually built up because shit won't get done.
You may be right. Maybe they can have everything, free stuff for everyone and no work ethic. I suppose we are going to find out. When the crowd with work ethic dies off it will be interesting. I guess socialism will be in full force and the government will take care of everyone.
Whites drive cars. Busses are more heavily used by minorities as in cities they are less likely to afford cars.
So you’re saying minorities aren’t as affected by gas prices as the middle class. Racist roads are nothing more than a diversion to the real problem!
You folks will go to any extreme to declare racist. SMH.
