Elon..
Economic mobility in the U.S. took a massive dump after The New Deal and then again after The Great Society.
The causes behind why broke people stay broke and dependency and programs and the hamster wheel is probably best for its own thread. I do have opinions. My aunt spent her entire career teaching in the Stl City public school system. Her injuries rival evel knievels. Anyway again another thread
Collective bargaining kills corporations. It killed the U.S. auto industry once the best in the world and even today it’s slowly killing Fortune 50 companies like UPS. It’s responsible for out of control budgets in state and local governments across the country.
I tried my damnedest to find a semaphore converter that I could paste here, but no luck. Sux because it would have been epic !
I don't know if you noticed, but Republicans took the House in 2022. They may not have lived up to your expectations, but most MAGA candidates did well. You only hear about the ones that didn't.
Which MAGA candidates did well that took new seats? For bonus credit, look up how much they spent on Vance’s senate seat and how narrowly he won.
And, in the words of Joe Biden, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,"
The GOP significantly underperformed based on historical results for the opposition party in off years. Should have won the Senate and didn’t and should have won the house with a decent margin rather than barely. Trump was a drag on performance not a help. No matter how many times you claim otherwise it was a very poor showing by the GOP.
So, Vance doesn't count because a lot of money was spent?
That's just BS. I, and most of my HS classmates, were poor and grew up in a rural part of Indiana. Few went to college. At my 50 year class reunion, all were comfortably retired and sitting on big IRAs - in the millions - or land worth 10s of millions.
Cmon Dan. This is common knowledge that his candidates involved in real contests didn’t do well.
What a crock of shit. You'll believe anything that anyone tells you. Or you just make shit up.
Yeah that’s my point. They dumped a boatload of money into that race. Money is a finite resource and they couldn’t use it in the other ones to help lift all boats. @DANC doesn’t understand that.
"She also hasn't had much of an opportunity to remind people why she was the most unpopular VP in history."
He didn't do well in battleground states, true. But overall, his percentage of endorsements did well.
That’s not an accurate comparison. Most of those wouldn’t vote Dem if you paid em to.He didn't do well in battleground states, true. But overall, his percentage of endorsements did well.
I call BS on this one. I've helped a lot of people over the years with their finances from those in the trades to people in Corporate leadership. While I have seen many a multimillionaire, I have yet to see an entire group as you say. Stay in your lane so you don't look silly.
I agree with most of that post, but there is still an elephant in the room that has inflated 9% in size in the last few years...
Sounds like he attended a reunion of people lying about their wealth to impress each other.
Actually, none of the guys in my class (at the reunion, anyway - some in our class were) were in 'manufacturing'. None union, either. Most in construction or sales or had their own small businesses.
Trump won’t be president. Period.
