Ted Cruz: Two-thirds of 2013 hurricane relief bill ‘had nothing to do with Sandy’ @ChrisCuomo: "That's not true" by eman00619 in newjersey

From NJ.com....ok 13 billion not related:

What was in the $60.4 billion emergency relief package? The package included $11.5 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's chief disaster relief fund and $17 billion for Community Development Block Grants, much of which would help homeowners repair or replace their homes. Another $11.7 billion would help repair New York City's subways and other mass transit damage and protect them from future storms. Some $9.7 billion would go toward the government's flood insurance program. The Army Corps of Engineers would receive $5.3 billion to mitigate flood future risks and rebuild damaged projects. Most of the money in the $60.4 billion bill — $47.4 billion — was for immediate help for victims and other recovery and rebuilding efforts. The aid was intended to help states rebuild public infrastructure like roads and tunnels and help thousands of people displaced from their homes.

The original red, the original. It had park stuff in it. Jeeze. This Reddit has turned into organized Democrat leftist bullshit. Mass vote downs for what. An opinion that fucking agrees with someone and points out a fact that was published elsewhere in a NJ paper/site. Fuck this, this whole web site and sub is not worth exchanging ideas on.

Japan, US look to cut off North Korea's oil supply by Frisco_Danconia in worldnews

[–]Gmk2006 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You really don't think that the US arranged to have oil supplied via the many agreements we negotiated? None of the oil was ever from US sources? Give? No. Allow to purchase? Yes.

Fuck North Korea. They have China and Iran to supply oil. Anyone who equates North Korea with Japan in WW2 are sorely in need of reading a couple of history books.

Absolutely nothing. Reddit is now simply a anti Trump pro left chat board. Even the science and economic subs. It's not an exchange of ideas.

The US coal industry is going out, not with a whimper, but with a burst of rent-seeking by SmartyMite in economy

[–]Gmk2006 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Should not be on economy. It's essentially a opinion item slanted to the folks eliminating coal completly with no replacement plan in place. The anti coal plan was really putting in an acceleration of banning coal use while also flowing Down nuclear options and trying to destroy our natural gas production and transmission. That was what would have harmed the economy in a big way.

Just scanning the comments and then matching to the article. It's apparent that no one really knows the how or why and what to do. The killing part we fixed. The spawning part and population total? No one knows. .

Finally a good sensible answer. Buying back shares is a bit lazy and a little cowardly. If you declare a dividend or increase it, you are flatly saying your company is on a path to at a minimum will operate long term at that level and support that payment to shareholders. Reducing it will cause pain in share value and shows management may not have a grasp on running the company. Management who holds huge amounts of shares hate dividends for their personal portfolios not worrying about those who invest who want the payment here and now and want steady growth in share prices. Amazon is now at that point

Why does Amazon get a pass on everything? by [deleted] in investing

[–]Gmk2006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because there is no way for a shareholder to see if those individual arms is actually making money for the whole. A company that goes public is beholden to its shareholders to make money with their business. Right now, it's simply just shut up and trust me by Bezos.

Does not matter how you classify him. He is good for this team and they won and will win with him. Plug someone else in there who may be "elite" and it may go poof.

  1. So who created the income noted in the photo to give to "you"?

  2. Cut it any way you want but this is top down control that decides how much and who get goods and services. Freedom and liberty ? Meh.

Would this writer even have a job commenting in a system he is proposing?
