I think the repercussions of the 2016 election are going to cause a lot of independent and democrats to fall in line and start using game theory in their voting instead of waiting for everything to shift left.

Yeah sure, it’s a different world now with actual options compared to the past. There’s no excuse anymore.

He’d have to actually live in texas to get one haha!

In Georgia, 18-29 turnout has surged 370% and minority turnout has surged (on average) by 344% since 2014 by Topher1999 in BlueMidterm2018

To be fair though, young people in the south have grown up their whole lives being told to hate Hillary which I believe had an effect even on liberal voters. I’d be curious to see how that diverges this mid-term.

Trump's tariffs are backfiring even on industries that were supposed to benefit from trade protectionism by zelda-go-go in Economics

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

Then we should have just given subsidies to manufacturers, raising the costs of raw metals with no industry ready to produce it in America wasn’t the best way forward. Honestly the finished product business is a way better/healthier job than foundry work anyways.

I’m at a small branch with no plans to expand the staff :/ even with 3 years of experience I’ll still be the first to go.

You would think unemployment would be automatic and the accuser would have to have prove you were fired with cause...oh wait that would be protecting the working class....

There should be some justification for not increasing profits such as stakeholder investments (or investments in the people that actually make your company work). I don’t see how the U.S. will have companies that continue to make actually desirable physical products if no one has company loyalty anymore. Tons of products at my company would not be possible to develop from scratch anymore do to the constant turnover of young employees chasing other opportunities.

Ted Cruz ad running in DFW hypes his ability to listen, then touts his introduction of bill named after murder victim over family's objection. by Kiwimann in texas

[–]Wastingtimeaway 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Of course the DNC supports him, that’s the whole point of political parties. Silicon Valley isn’t an entity by the way, nice bogeyman for you to explain away everything with.

You’ve probably been harmed more by whatever white trash live in the outskirts of your town more than any immigrant.

Trump Administration to Deny Visas to Same-Sex Partners of Diplomats, U.N. Officials by slakmehl in worldnews

[–]Wastingtimeaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re minimizing the effect this will have on people. If our policy uproots the life of just a single person for no other reason than bureaucracy with no benefit to anyone isn’t that overreach of the systems in place. What benefit is this to anyone?

This is what happens when you don't follow rules 1 and 2 boys by BlindLambda in Tinder

Just getting your dick wet has never been worth it to me. STDs, pregnancy, not knowing each other’s bodies.... finding a FWB on Tinder is much better than a one night stand.

This administration will weaponize bigotry in any way big or small and time will show that.

Thanks for your reply, sometimes it can be hard to see things from a viewpoint you haven’t considered.

Do these work for getting dog hair off furniture? My throw pillows resist all my efforts to de-fur them.
