Not only does the comparison predate the covid pandemic, it also says nothing in particular about Trump. Some people think the economy would have done great under him, some don’t, and some think other things are more important than just the economy. Still, there is no comparison to Trump here, there is only something showing that we’ve done better under Biden than many countries have done with their economies and leaders.
That was a great simple explanation, thank you. I’ve certainly made some adjustments, and was thinking about it yesterday while shopping. Paper supplies have gotten so very expensive that I’ve (finally) purchased cloth napkins to use both for napkins and for smaller kitchen clean up jobs. I’ll be using less paper, and more water for laundry. I’m estimating 1-2 loads worth of napkins per month. Pretty sure it will be both cheaper and more environmentally friendly than paper towels.
Thank you for posting this. I’ve put it on my FB page (very tiny, family and close friends only). My Bernie loving friends who won’t vote for Biden because he’s too conservative or whatever need to see it. And my conservative family members who consider themselves trump loving patriots need to understand the consequences. I captioned it “If you believe in democracy, please vote to support it.”
If we’re going to keep Trump from a 2nd term, each of us needs to do what we can to convince all our friends and family to vote in support of democracy.
Rather than term limits on elected office, I’d like to see term/time limits on how long a senator or representative can sit on the same committees. If legislators were being termed out of the powerful committees, I think the parties would not try so hard to keep people in office past their functioning years.
2 is not statistically significant.
Depends how many overall. 2 of the people asked stated they were neither union members nor autoworkers. How many did the reporter ask? If they asked 10 protesters about being union members or autoworkers, that would be 2 out of 10. That’s 20%.
Yours was such a great and thorough answer, thank you.
The summary, yup:
The reality is that we have the tools to create a much better, richer society for everyone. But the people at the top would prefer a worse, poorer country, if that’s what’s required for them to stay completely in charge.
This story includes detailed descriptions of sexual assaults.
And the first detailed description is well above the warning, as soon as you click the link. Disturbing, and clickbaity journalism frankly. Propublica should have more respect for their readers.
And yes, what the article describes is beyond horrendous, there needs to be an outcry.
Reminds me of the old adage about women, which applies equally to Black Americans (meaning it applies doubly to her). She has to be twice as good to be considered half as good. You KNOW Fani Willis has the skills!!
can quickly turn to: ‘wait, I thought you guys were serious about mailing them bombs…’
I really think it should be assumed that a good number of those posting about making bombs (or any number of other acts of violence) are, indeed, trying to incite people to do such things. It’s not all innocent venting being mistaken for calls to action.
According to the poll, 63 percent of voters who supported President Biden in 2020 think that the recent wildfires in Maui are primarily the result of climate change, while the same share of Trump voters just think these things happen from time to time.
No surprise there. Personally I think both are true, and also that the local power company likely shares some blame because both climate change and “things happen” are good reasons to take extra precautions.
I had not seen it in the news nor social media, and just last night my wife told me about it. This posting was the first article I read.
As a lesbian of the much maligned Boomer generation (same as Laura Ann Carleton), I want to express my profound gratitude to her and to all our proud allies who have stood up for us, stood with us, marched with us, and sometimes taken a bullet for us. Without allies like her I would not have been able to marry my partner of 38 years, in many places would not have been able to buy a car with her or rent/buy a home with her. While I do not want to diminish the fact that life is far from perfect for LGBTQ+, and American society has been sliding backwards in many areas, today I want to honor courageous heroes like Laura Ann Carleton. Always remember her name and deeds, for she was a blessing among us.
Thanks much.
Any chance of a copy/paste of the article? I don’t want to register with yet another source.
Here in America we’re fighting fertility decline with anti abortion laws, forcing poor young people to carry to term when if they could afford to they would travel to another state or country to have the procedure. Thus creating another generation of people born into poverty and mentally prepared to work for peanuts for their betters.
If voting doesn’t do the job, our democracy is lost.
