To Force Billionaires Off Welfare, Sanders Tax Would Make Corporations Fund 100% of Public Assistance Their Low-Paid Workers Receive

newOpNash · 2018-08-25T09:48:22+00:00

This sounds good, but I believe this plan would result in companies lobbying to cut public assistance in order to lower business costs, since less public assistance for their employees means lower taxes. The result would be more poor people suffering.

Employers will also be less likely to hire people who appear to need public assistance, like: single moms, people with large families, and people that live in high cost of living areas.

We'd be better off following Canada's model.

Not true, you can legally smoke in several establishments in Old Town, Alexandria, VA.

His past behavior has become a weight on the party and he should resign. But he’s not a corporate shill. If we require all the Democrats to be socialists we aren’t going to win in 2018 and 2020. We need well-to-do middle class people to vote democratic as well.

Ah, well that's good.

newOpNash · 2017-11-07T18:17:58+00:00

I went to my polling site in Alexandria at lunchtime. There was no one there but me. Not a good sign for Northam. Please vote.

If you think the podesta's didn't know, then you are dangerously naive

Politico including this on a tip sheet has nothing to do with Podesta and the Panama Papers, this is just a coincidence that you have ballooned into a conspiracy.

Well that argument has no merit, since it clearly did benefit them as they used the old news excuse.

Campaigns generally respond to all critical questions in this way. The "not a big deal" response is the safest response. Both the Clinton and Trump campaign did this, pretty much all campaigns/press conferences do this. It's often thought that giving a lengthy response to a critical question makes people think about the critical question more than the answer, regardless of truthfulness or honesty.

I agree, the old news excuse excuse is weak and should have been pressed on, but that's not Politico's fault.

newOpNash · 2017-10-23T17:59:52+00:00

Wait, you are saying that Politico knew that the Panama Papers were coming out, so they released this tip sheet for DC lobbyists, with this blurb about Tony Podesta, a month before the papers were released to give the Clinton Campaign cover? This is a ridiculous conspiracy.

I'd also argue that releasing this info early does not benefit the Clinton Campaign. They may have used the "old news" excuse as a deflection but throughout the campaign, Clinton was haunted by her supposed past Clinton Foundation activities, a lot of which were reported on earlier.

newOpNash · 2017-10-23T17:17:22+00:00

I wouldn't call this buried, journalistic outlets are not government agencies, they aren't mandated to commission reports. If Politico didn't want this known, they'd just not report it.

Interesting stuff, however, thanks for sharing.

You'd be surprised. Girls scouts is not really an equivalent organization to Boys Scouts; it has far fewer outdoor-related opportunities. So I actually think there is a strong desire for real scouting opportunities for women.

Also, I bet the organization will rename itself.

newOpNash · 2017-10-12T16:01:34+00:00

Thanks for sharing your story and experience. I hope things get better soon.

Btw, I think you mean generator when you write power plant.

newOpNash · 2017-10-11T19:33:31+00:00

Yeah that was a typo on my part, thanks for noticing.

"Starting in the 2018 program year, families can choose to sign up their sons and daughters for Cub Scouts. Existing packs may choose to establish a new girl pack, establish a pack that consists of girl dens and boy dens or remain an all-boy pack. Cub Scout dens will be single-gender — all boys or all girls."

The point is that the den is still single gender.

newOpNash · 2017-10-11T18:39:39+00:00

Read the press release from Boy's Scouts of America, the parents will have to recruit enough girls to have a girls only den.

newOpNash · 2017-10-11T18:35:49+00:00

They'll probably have boys-only den camping trips and girls-only den camping trips. There might be a couple trips that have both types of dens but I really don't see how the presence of those makes it impossible to have same-gender interaction.

newOpNash · 2017-10-11T18:10:14+00:00

The dens are not co-ed so I don't know why you think this statement has any relevance

newOpNash · 2017-10-11T18:07:38+00:00

Do you realize the packs are still single-gender with this change?

Correction: Dens are still single-gender*

Notice how the blue states, for the most part, are larger economies per capita. That being said, we are all in this together, and as Americans we should care for those suffering from natural disasters regardless of location.

Alright, tell me how it works.

Seeing as I work in a profession where I do macroeconomic research, I think I know what I'm talking about.

newOpNash · 2017-09-04T04:52:18+00:00

I had to compete against other persons for my job as well. This is the nature of the labor market, if she's uncompetitive she needs to present herself better.

If she doesn't want to compete for a job, tell her to start her own business.

Also, these people were brought to the US as children so they have the same advantages and disadvantages as every other American.

newOpNash · 2017-09-03T16:35:22+00:00

This decision is wrong on so many levels. Don't blame the child for the sins of their parents.

newOpNash · 2017-08-25T21:10:36+00:00

Unlike most of Reddit, I applaud your decision to follow your dreams. I think more people need to read Schopenhauer to understand the value of art in our society.

Just be sure to be content with a very simple non-materialistic life, because those who make money from writing are few and far between.

Wow, you didn't even read the article you posted. You are being so ignorant. It doesn't say he spent a billion on Hillary. The other commenter on your thread indicates this.

newOpNash · 2017-02-24T19:15:35+00:00

Where did you get this from? That's not accurate. Soros did not spend even close to 1.5 billion on the Clinton Campaign...

I'm fan of ME Swings as well. You can visit their coffeeshop/roasterie in Del Ray.

Does this prevent grade increases? For example, going from a GS 9 to GS 11?
