And go where?!? Trump’s cluster f@ckery - beating COVID by drinking Lysol and lying, has made it so even “shit countries” won’t let Americans travel to them. How is that possible if Trump has done such a great job?

Quote:Originally posted by second: The Top 1% of Americans Have Taken $50 Trillion From the Bottom 90% At every income level up to the 90th percentile, wage earners are now being paid a fraction of what they would have had inequality held constant. For example, at the median individual income of $36,000, workers are being shortchanged by $21,000 a year—$28,000 when using the CPI—an amount equivalent to an additional $10.10 to $13.50 an hour. There are some who blame the current plight of working Americans on structural changes in the underlying economy—on automation, and especially on globalization. According to this popular narrative, the lower wages of the past 40 years were the unfortunate but necessary price of keeping American businesses competitive in an increasingly cutthroat global market. But in fact, the $50 trillion transfer of wealth the RAND report documents has occurred entirely within the American economy, not between it and its trading partners. No, this upward redistribution of income, wealth, and power wasn’t inevitable; it was a choice—a direct result of the trickle-down policies we chose to implement since 1975. We chose to cut taxes on billionaires and to deregulate the financial industry. We chose to allow CEOs to manipulate share prices through stock buybacks, and to lavishly reward themselves with the proceeds. We chose to permit giant corporations, through mergers and acquisitions, to accumulate the vast monopoly power necessary to dictate both prices charged and wages paid.

In the worst case, when all manufacturing is done in Mongolia, the ex-factory workers bring home 0.00 dollars and unemployment increases by 12.8 million people. www.nam.org/state-manufacturing-data/2019-united-states-manufacturing-facts/ That still leaves $50 trillion that your friendly payday loan company scooped up at 700% interest from people working at Burger King and Amazon warehouses. Those jobs can't move to Mongolia. That is life for half of everybody in America, for 165,000,000 people. You might notice that 165 million is much larger than the number of people depending on a factory job to pay their bills. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=vSnO The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: It's not just manufacturing (and those numbers are bullshit, BTW) The tech industry that was thriving in the late 90's and early 2000's is just a memory now too. With the internet it was infinitely easier and more cost effective to outsource all of those jobs. Let's not forget that automation has rendered 50% of the jobs that people used to do not even necessary anymore too. And when women were forced into the workforce, the labor pool increased over 100% overnight and now a vast majority of households require two incomes to stay afloat. Do Right, Be Right. :)

Quote:Originally posted by reaverfan: Why Trump could possibly end up "behind bars" if he loses Journalist Jeff Wise examines the type of prosecutions that Trump could face if he loses the presidential election https://www.salon.com/2020/09/20/why-trump-could-possibly-end-up-behind-bars-if-he-loses_partner/ It's at the state level, and in New York especially, where Trump's biggest legal dangers lurk. Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance, Jr., Wise argues, is "likely to pursue" charges of "falsifying business records." "Unlike the federal court system, which often allows prisoners to remain free during the appeals process, state courts tend to waste no time in carrying out punishment," Wise explains. "After someone is sentenced in New York City, their next stop is Rikers Island. Once there, as Trump awaited transfer to a state prison, the man who'd treated the presidency like a piggy bank would receive yet another handout at the public expense: a toothbrush and toothpaste, bedding, a towel, and a green plastic cup."

Quote:Originally posted by second: Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: Gross.Trump and Barr making it perfectly clear that they are both grossly fat: After weeks of attacks on BLM by Trump and Barr, 55% of American adults still say they strongly or somewhat support the Black Lives Matter movement. Perhaps not coincidentally, that’s about the same share that consistently voices disapproval of Trump’s presidency. Barr has made it clear that he shares Trump’s view that this American majority should be neutered. BLM is “not interested in Black lives, they’re interested in props,” Barr said in remarks last week. “A small number of Blacks were killed by police during conflict with police — usually less than a dozen a year — who they can use as props to achieve a much broader political agenda.” In a previous interview with the virulent right-wing propagandist Mark Levin, Barr suggested what this “broader political agenda” entailed. He described Black Lives Matter as “a revolutionary group that is interested in some form of socialism, communism. They’re essentially Bolsheviks.” Exaggeration of left-wing violence and the manufacture of nefarious leftist threats is a feature of countries that succumbed to right-wing authoritarianism. “Our nation has been gripped by professional anarchists,” Trump said in June. “Violent mobs, arsonists, looters, criminals, rioters, Antifa and others.” Barr’s own obsession with the confection of left-wing agitation and right-wing myth-making known as “Antifa” is another indicator that his political views are increasingly untethered to democratic reality. “I’ve talked to every police chief in every city where there’s been major violence, and they all have identified Antifa as the ramrod for the violence,” Barr told CNN. That Trump and Barr harp on Antifa while ignoring the more violent and pervasive terrorism committed by right-wing vigilantes is another discomfiting sign. Elizabeth Neumann, a Trump appointee who served as an assistant secretary for counterterrorism and threat prevention in the Department of Homeland Security before leaving the department in April, said that the Trump administration labeled Antifa as domestic terrorists “for political purposes.” The ultimate purpose remains opaque. But Barr clearly views the democratic playing field as unfair and conservatives as victims, their righteous claims to power vandalized by secularism’s “unremitting assault on religion and traditional values.” In a speech at the University of Notre Dame last year, he used variations of the word “secular” 21 times to describe the enemy. Those who don’t share Barr’s drive to preserve and extend the most corrupt administration in American history are guilty of pushing the country on a “socialist path” toward certain doom, he says.
