You mean that the pandemic has caused. Biden didn't have anything to do with it. A large surge in consumer demand coupled with a slowdown or shutdown of factory output is causing disruptions in both supply and demand. That causes inflation. The exact same thing would have happened under Trump if he had been re-elected.

Ah - TDG - fiden made it clear that Trump had nothing to do with the development or distribution of the wuhan virus vaccine
Despite fiden being vaccinated before inauguration


But - as liberal cultists do - History is anathema and ignored because it is 'Racist"!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot... that party also wants to abolish the Electoral College.

Why don't they stop beating around the bush and just have a "Burn the Constitution" night? You can do the torching!

I subscribed to the Washington Post a couple of months ago. It only costs $40 for a year and I figure I'll let the subscription go when they jack the rate up after a year.

Anyway I've done a little posting in the comments section. It seems nobody likes what I have to say.

I posted this yesterday in a thread about Kyrsten Sinema. It's dripping with sarcasm, but apparently no one there realized it:

You don't go far enough. After we get rid of the filibuster, make D.C. and Puerto Rico states. Stack the Supreme Court. Stack the other courts too. Or better yet make all federal judges resign and President Biden can appoint new ones. Then put voting in red states under the supervision of the courts, and let the courts determine the boundaries of voting districts. That's the way it was up until 2013, and it worked.

We must do this or Republicans, who are all racist and anti-Democratic, will steal elections and make America a fascist state.

I got 22 likes! Twenty-two fucking likes! The Washington Post readership loved my post!

Now this is no comment on WTF, whose political views are eclectic. I agree with him on a number of points, like government spending, and if you look into your heart of hearts I believe you'll realize you agree with him on some things too.

But it is a sad commentary on the mainstream and progressive Democrats, who read the Washington Post, who saw fit to FINALLY "like" something I wrote, and it's this.





I wonder if TxDot guy,1b1 and 95 contributed 'likes' to teh WaPo!

CityLab Daily: The Meaning of Striketober


https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsl...of-striketober

It remains to be seen how much these strikes will do to improve working conditions and pay. But already, concessions on that front have been won: After the powerful, 150,000-member strong Hollywood union, IATSE, threatened a strike, they won a tentative agreement to get 3% annual wage hikes.

Another of IATSE’s wins adds hours off to break up brutal filming schedules. “Our members will see significant improvements, but our employers also will benefit,” said Mike Miller, vice president and motion picture director for IATSE, in a statement. “Workers should have improved morale and be more alert.”

Did you quit your job or organize your workplace, in official or unofficial ways, over the past few months? I’d love to hear more about what drove you to take action, and/or how you built solidarity.

They say they discovered. I say they relented.


A mom told Jeff Bezos that Amazon was underpaying her $90 a month, sparking an internal probe that found the company was shortchanging some workers, a report says


https://www.businessinsider.com/amaz...issues-2021-10

The Times interviewed Amazon staff and reviewed internal documents that showed that Amazon subsequently discovered it was shortchanging some employees who were on leave, including medical and disability leave.


Current and former HR employees also told The Times that workers facing medical problems were automatically fired by Amazon's attendance software after it mistook their leave for absence.

Bethany Reyes, an Amazon HR employee who has recently been charged with fixing the company's leave system, told The Times that the company was trying to rebalance its mantra of "optimizing" for the customer.

��⁉️Did you know that 3% of the #US workforce or 4.3 million workers quit their jobs in August⁉️��

Knowing this, why would the Biden Administration enforce a #vaccinemandate that will only lead more people to quit their job and further damage the economy?������

The Most Important Quotes From Charles Dickens's 'Oliver Twist'


https://www.thoughtco.com/oliver-twist-quotes-740958

Human Nature

Dickens was admired not only as a novelist but also as a social critic, and in "Oliver Twist," he uses his sharp eye to dissect the weaknesses of human nature. The social canvas of the novel, which includes the poor underclass of London and the criminal justice system designed to contain it, allows Dickens to explore what happens when humans are reduced to the basest conditions.


Society and Class

As the story of a poor orphan and, more generally, the downtrodden, "Oliver Twist" is filled with Dickens' thoughts about the role of class in English society. The author is highly critical of the institutions that protect the upper classes while leaving the poor to starve and die. Throughout the book, Dickens raises questions about how society organizes itself and treats its worst-off members.

Wisconsin’s child labor bill epitomizes decaying US power


https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202110/1237282.shtml

If something like this happens in China or other countries to which the US is hostile, there could be a moral carnival for US media outlets. They will use eye-catching headlines and fierce words such as "slavery" and "oppression" to attack those countries. But as it is actually happening in the US, only a few outlets pay attention. A handful of their bland reports can hardly attract the attention of the whole country. Unconsciously, the double standard of the US on such issues has harmed the US itself. It has lowered its own moral standards, making American society as a whole apathetic.

If the young people are strong, the country will be strong. At the very least, US' failure to protect the rights and interests of the child will only harm the teenagers and their families. More broadly, it will affect the improvement of the whole country's moral fiber. This will cause irreparable damage to the US. As a result, the US decay will be accelerated as well.

young man, your fascination with all things socialism amuses me. you really have no concept whatsoever to the subject you so advocate. you falsely want what you "think" is "good" about socialism while ignoring the fact that socialism as a form of both government and economic policy is the greatest failure in the history of humanity.


without posting videos of Richard Wolff and (soon to be dead) Noam Chomsky prove to me socialism is good.


i'll wait


and what you don't realize is this .. you think .. that under socialism your low income life will somehow be better because there won't be any rich people (like me) but in reality you as a slave of the state will be living a lower standard than your current low standard and you'll realize ... way too late .. you were actually better off in the grand world of capitalism and the unlimited opportunity it affords you. and me.


BAHHAAAHHAAAAAA

It works for the worker. Not the one who lives off investments. Not for the originalist who would own children as slaves. The lazy-ass fucks who don't like to get their hands dirty, rather the ones who bleed, sweat and cry for their daily bread.

Get it now?






No more tonight.

Game time motherfuckers.

no i don't get it and thanks for taking the bait. now let me eat some capitalist steak and once again show why you are wrong.


those capitalist "lazy-ass fucks" you speak of are the Henry Ford's and JD Rockefeller's of economic progress and greatness. without them where would we be today?


these are the titans of capitalist growth. and you live in that glorious world. why .. would you trade that for a regulated/controlled/totalitarian sub-existence less than what you have today?


WHY?


just because no one else has better? stop aiming for the Lowest Common Denominator ...


be better. succeed by hard work and capitalism ...


bahahahaaa
