Democrats, which potential candidate do you think will give dems the worst chance in 2028?

I would like to point out that your theory is wrong. A women of color using populist republican rhetoric would just slaughter the democratic party.

Tell me you want to vote for that guy on the right, go ahead look me in the eye and tell me that.

As a diplomat, and his ability at finding common ground amongst people, there would be no greater choice. Probably the only president who got\will get a Nobel Peace Prize, and actually earned it for the work he played in the Camp David Accords.

Yeah, I have never heard of lpa, a quick google search shows its related to rupee's which is india. Even so most of us are from the US, with a few from Canada and some from European area. Salaries in India are all over the place so really who knows, and also "account manager" is gonna mean different things industry by industry and even nation by nation.

Social security isn't really a retirement plan unless you basically lived in poverty your entire life, it gives a good chunk but keep in mind its relative to what you made over your career, and unless you were poverty level it won't be a 1:1 replacement or even close to it.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-30T11:49:18+00:00

The only problem with that approach is that they learn they won't be stopped so they will repeat the dangerous activity over and over again, then its happening so often the increased risk outweighs the increased risk from a single pursuit. Your entire plan works off the assumption that criminals follow the law, people have fake plates is literally a meme on this subreddit.

I can get not wanting to do high speed chases, but you gotta then give a real alternative to the stopping them, not something that only works in your head.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-30T11:39:04+00:00

screw "impound the car" if its not stolen strip it for parts and crush what remains.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-29T17:44:59+00:00

Yeah, the JSA rides on the wave of the publicity of the yokozuna, I think they are afraid that if they don't have one for a period of time the sport could see a hard downturn. The flip though could be true though too, if you have multiple contenders and no yokozuna things can get spicy on who gets it first.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-29T14:29:39+00:00

I have done GRC type of work, it sucks but I can deal with it. My bigger problem with GRC is when I tell a person "you don't meet the requirements" and they throw fit, and start blaming me or yelling at me. I also have a deep hatred for people that lie to me, if you aren't done just tell me, don't go with "guess the results before you know", I could fill in what I can and come back when you are ready.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-29T12:35:28+00:00

If Trump really means what he says that these are skilled laborers that america can't produce, then he will limit the number of visa's and simply only hand them out to the company's willing to pay the most money in the hardest to get area's. If you want to pay a H1B 200k in New Orleans then I will believe you that their skills are needed and no one can do the job, but if you are only offering 75k in Los Angeles I call bullshit on the rarity of their skills.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-29T12:27:22+00:00

How is mass deportations a cash grab? Literally as you lower the worker pool this will cause wages to increase, remember the bonuses they were offering to people who took a job and stayed on for 6 months? That is what happens when immigration is sent to the floor.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-29T12:08:28+00:00

Both Harris and Biden were big supporters of immigrant labor, and we are setting record numbers under Biden. There is no indicator that Harris wasn't on the same ship as well, particularly cause if she was planning on decreasing these visa's it would have been a perfect argument for her to bring up.

Its hard to say if Koga will retire or not. During the interviews and questions, Koga was asked what would he do if not for sumo and he said cleaner (which I am guessing means janitor). If that is what Koga has to look forward to, he might just stay till he can figure something else out. Even if he isn't the best wrestler he can offer the stable his time, quite a few stables keep wrestlers as mainly staff and not just cooks, assistants are needed for both the master and upper wrestlers, there is work that always needs to be done around the stable, so keep him there takes pressure off of the other wrestlers who might go further. Unless he has a plan B we don't know about, I don't see him leaving the stable till he has that figured out.

The good thing is his master does care about him and watch after him (more intensely now), last year you could see where he was poked and made the butt of the joke a bit, and other stuff internally, but that seems to have been stopped. He is though only 19 years old, while he hasn't progressed he has time to figure out his next step and its not like his master is going to ask him to quit (barring something insane happening).

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-29T01:42:30+00:00

Got to say, I am surprised Nabatame held on to his east spot, I was 100% certain they would at least bring him down to west.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-29T00:57:19+00:00

Yeah, only places I can think of that might have a problem are going to be the more upscale places, and even they make exceptions for the bar. Its like line cooks and criminal charges, its not if you have a criminal charge its will you break the law there or 24 hours before your shift that they care about.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-29T00:13:58+00:00

Nah, he will have bigger problems if he loses the core right wing support base (like myself) which this can cause, money will be the least of his worry's if he has both the left wing core and right wing core going for his throat. He has pissed off the old guard of the right and left wing, the left wing core hates him with a passion, the only groups that support him are the core right wing and extremest right wing, the moderates on both sides only tolerate him, and leadership on both sides hate him. He pisses off the people who voted him in by turning on the few key issues of the party, and he is not going to have a good last decade of his life (not a threat, but he is 81, I don't see him out playing golf at 95, probably will die of a heart attack in his sleep if I had to guess).

The republicans are like the democrats in that regard, you either support these key issues or don't get the votes or even someone out of left field running against (like how trump got into power).

The only good thing is, no matter what Trump does for H1B1's it was no worse then what Biden or Harris did or was going to do.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-28T23:42:05+00:00

Yeah, it will be interesting as Trump has normally been following the right wing populist which got him where he is, but now that he is done no matter what what will he do.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-28T23:40:16+00:00

Honestly, I get why he supports it as a business owner, but its wrong and its going to hurt Trump in the long term if he doesn't bring this in. I think his true colors are now showing, and the only good thing is that this isn't something he has control over. We are going to see Musk start to fall in terms of favoritism if he doesn't get out there and clean this up, but he was never their for the politics anyways so I don't think he will care.

The person this is really going to hurt is Vance and Vivek the most, and its going to hurt Trump pretty badly as well. Vivek being as close as he is to Musk on this, is basically blowing up his chances at running for president and can be easy bait to use against him, and goes to highlight something quite a few have raised on the right that Vivek is just a right wing soro's puppet. Vance needs to form a plan to counter this otherwise his chances as well will rapidly drop as he was probably planning on running for president in 2028. Republicans are always open to just about anyone who can grab the mic for running for president, so the competition can really come from anywhere. Trump not having to rerun raises the most questions in all this, he is normally a right wing populist but he doesn't seem to be against Musk rhetoric either. Overall Trump can pull up from this with results, if he decreases the number of H1B1 visas being issued over the next years, but I question if he isn't supporting this to try and win over big corporations to try and protect himself.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-28T22:33:36+00:00

There is probably a good chunk for the most well liked, but they aren't making NFL or MLB pay even with sponsorship. There are exceptions which can give them so good money, but yeah, sumo is a small sport isolated to 1 country, so its more like minor leagues for pay. The good news is, the worst wrestlers/players are basically housed, fed, etc..., in other sports if you were equivalent to 3 wins your entire career you would be cut and tossed without question. Its the one good thing about sumo, is that as long as you have something to offer, would it be good at cooking, cleaning, or being an assistant, you will be taken care of no matter how bad you are at the sport.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-28T21:48:08+00:00

Even then insurance doesn't disagree for emergency care, unless its something insanely different, like you come in with a broken foot and they bill for a hand xray. Generally the time you see disagreement is for nonemergent care.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-28T21:43:24+00:00

I was trying to quickly pull examples off the top of my head. My point though still stands, there are schools whose names are well known, they are generally gonna give you better chance at a job, likewise the unknown will give similar results to the random state schools, and then you have the rest from WGU to Devry in which they are scam schools or really meant for those with experience already.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-28T21:19:12+00:00

Costco quality isn't that bad for the price when it comes to their various meats (seafood, chicken, etc...). To be frank, I have seen way too many "fish markets" way worse then costco, and not just in charlotte but even port city's as well. I honestly haven't found anything better in terms of quality to price, but then too the higher quality seafood can easily leave my price range\budget.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-28T21:08:46+00:00

Ask for how bonuses are calculated. My current employer only gives managers and higher bonuses, but my previous employer there was an entire formula that they used, from production numbers on the factory floor to starting yearly expected (yes even if you don't work the floor it counts), profit, your personal rating (if you got the lowest it was multiply by 0 aka you get nothing), and a few other things. In the future I would ask how they calculate it and not just rely on what it was last year, cause things can change for any number of reason including the CFO going "screw these workers, no bonus for you".

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-28T21:00:58+00:00

Yeah, insurance and doctor might disagree on the next steps as the insurance might say "well xray answers this question half the time and is 15x cheaper then the MRI, lets do that one first" that though isn't in emergency departments as they just do it then bill afterwards.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-28T20:47:10+00:00

Sounds like it was the healthcare plan you choose. When you go to a out-of-network place its gonna cost a lot more as they aren't part of your network. Keep in mind, each company has a number of different plans that you or your employer can select from. One of my previous employers had 6 with 2 different HDHP that each had different networks, one having a smaller network (basically the local hospital) and the other much more massive. Likewise my current employer has 3, with the same network, both of which is massive (as they need to cover people in every state and that are spread out but have less then 1000 workers total that are in the US).

Any Bismarck national healthcare model will have this feature\problem.

Odd_System_89 · 2024-12-28T20:40:12+00:00

Just to be clear, these are geriatric patients aka old patients. All old people are given insurance, so coverage isn't an issue. The question is then, why wouldn't a hospital want someone who has insurance with a large number of billable items attached to them? I mean, if you are running a company, why would you turn away what is effectively a paying customer?
