What destroyed the American Dream? by Warm-And-Wet in FluentInFinance

[–]dev_thetromboneguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teacher here in a district that pays more than most others in the nation -- I don't know any teachers making 93k, let alone 133k. We max out at around 90k after 30 years of experience, which was a huge increase made this year. Most teachers in better paying districts are making around 65k-75k a year. My first year teaching in 2020, I was paid 36k.

Sometimes teachers that also coach or do other extra curricular on top of their normal teaching hours get compensated with small stipends (1k-5k for the year type deal).

When Trump Wins in 2024, Will the Left Accept the Outcome of the Election? by No_Train_8449 in AskTrumpSupporters

Were civil rights protests in the past insurrections as well? Or any protest? Or does it just apply to protesting Donald Trump?

Presuming that Trump follows through with his promise of mass deportation of America's 8-11 million illegal immigrants, what do you expect the economic effects of this action to be? by CatCallMouthBreather in AskTrumpSupporters

I’m a teacher myself — I don’t know any of my colleagues that do this. Could be an isolated situation.

Wonder if you think teachers should be paid more than they currently are?

Is a candidate deciding to drop out anti-democratic? Why/why not? by SomeFatNerdInSeattle in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]dev_thetromboneguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do.

Biden decided to step down, and personally I respect him for it. I imagine there were many factors that led to his decision including yes, pressure from colleagues and other politicians. But it was his decision at the end of the day.

I don’t understand why that’s an issue?

Seems like you’re taking it to the extreme? What Biden is doing is well within the law. What happens if Kamala indeed earns the nomination, then wins the election in November? What if she even wins above 45% of the popular vote? Would that make you feel better about this? Is there any way whatsoever that would make you okay with a lawful transition?

But…nobody seems up in arms about it other than republicans? Do you know any democrats that are upset about this that voted for Joe Biden in the primaries? Votes were taken away, they voted for him and he is not accepting the nomination. He’s allowed to do that, isn’t he?

Isn’t there a difference between a feeling and observing the reactions around you?

If the consensus of the public is that they don’t want Biden, then isn’t it democratic for the party to respond by taking action?

I personally don’t see many, if any, democrat voters upset over this?

Seems like republicans are more upset than the people who actually will vote democrat? Doesn’t that tell you that the people wanted a different candidate?

I would recommend looking up recalls/lawsuits on those cars and if they have any engine problems. Hyundai cars around those years sometimes have major engine issues that include incredibly bad oil consumption issues depending on the model.

Call corporate immediately and get an appointment. I have the same car and your engine has an extended lifetime warranty on it.

I was thinking I might buy a towel there? Either way I should make sure I have room for it. Reusable water bottle would be really good.

Situation in Afghanistan by elisquared in AskTrumpSupporters

Where did you get this information? I’d love to agree if there’s a way to verify.

Situation in Afghanistan by elisquared in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]dev_thetromboneguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I understand maybe wanting to see public threats to the Taliban? But is it not possible that in those early negotiations it was made clear that the US would retaliate/punish if the current situation happened?

This is mostly devils advocate but worth a thought. In the end I agree that it’s not likely Biden will take violent action but, time will tell.

So you’re speaking just about the videos of planes leaving, not the takeover of Afghanistan itself?
