As for the "vaccine" itself, I'd be happy if it were nothing more than a mere placebo. That's the best case scenario for everyone who gets it.

Not a very likely outcome after all of this manipulation to get us to the point we're at now though, I'm afraid.

Good luck with your shot though. Thanks for being a human trial.

President Trump is in bad spirits and avoids his official duties to instead focus on pursuing his claims that the election was stolen from him due to mass electoral fraud, The New York Times reported Saturday.

Citing advisors to the president, the Times reported that as the president continues to claim the election was stolen from him a month after his defeat, he is "moody" and "sometimes depressed".

As the president fixates on his election fraud claims, for which he has provided no compelling evidence, the US's number of daily deaths from the coronavirus is reaching new highs.

The US economy is in a fragile state, with congressional leaders so far have failed to hammer out a new stimulus deal.

The president is "ignoring the health and economic crises afflicting the nation" and is clearing his public schedule of meetings not related to his bid to overturn the election result.

But the new unemployment report has given his critics, Democrats and economists further ammunition to demand he accept the larger deal.

To be completely honest, that was because you got a job you didn't earn on merit, and you've been riding on that advantage ever since.

---

Not true.

I started as a low level employee in a call center (a job, incidentally that a lot of college graduates take today because there is no REAL job for them out there after they graduate), and worked my way up to a IBM Mainframe Analyst while also getting the maximum 6% merit raise every year in between two promotions.

I sure as shit earned that big promotion. In fact, I was put up for it by other people without even being aware that it existed in the first place.
When I was initially put up for the promotion, I specifically told them that I didn't meet the requirement stated on the job posting that you needed a bachelor's degree.

---

Quote:

---

They all told me that's what they put for the online ads to weed out people that they've never met and they already know from working with me that I'm more than capable of doing the job.

Of all four people involved in my promotion, I'd only ever met one of them in person, shared lengthy conference calls with her and two others... and I never even met the fourth person, who ultimately made the hiring decision, that worked out of the Arizona branch and only even knew about me because of the other three.

I didn't get that because I was just some white dude.

Sorry to destroy your narrative, Karen.


Where I got lucky (and I DID get lucky) was that the great amount of money I was saving by not wasting a dime in 5 years got to some pretty insane amounts because I was in the market at the right time, and a company merger froze our accounts when they moved to a different platform right before the housing market crashed and I would have lost most of those gains. It was 4 1/2 years of 30% or greater returns in the most aggressive fund we had on offer on my 100%, fully vested, company matched 6% 401k contribution as well as the thousands of dollars per year they were putting into my account for profit sharing.


And that's why I don't play the Stock Market Roulette anymore.

The house doesn't always win.


What have you done today to earn your place in this crowded world? :)

Not sure what is kiki's disconnect here.
something earned is not deserved? Is that the point?
If not earned, how else is something deserved? Are you referring to birthrights, where everything is God-given, therefore nothing needs to be earned?

Or some other concept? Where does deserving something not derive from earning?

The deer in the Texas Big Thicket neither work nor own property, having complete freedom and leisure to live as they please, same as 6ix. Every year I kill two of them, feeding them to my dogs. I kill ducks, too. It is a great life you are living, 6ix. The deer understand you.

Every deer I ever killed had zero debt, paid zero interest, and acted as if it owned all the acreage in the forest, wandering wherever they please, disregarding all property lines. 6ix, there is little difference between you and a deer other than deer are freer and unburdened by their past mistakes.

Covid-19 relief draft bill provides $100 billion “double-dip” tax deduction for the wealthy. There are NO stimulus checks, but there are big tax giveaways for well-connected business owners.

There has been little pushback to these tax giveaways, reflecting the general consensus in Congress around the benefits of business tax cuts, no matter how lavish. Media outlets and many lawmakers, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., have described the PPP extension and expansion as an “uncontroversial” aspect of stimulus talks.

If democrats* don't do any different, how are they any better?

Democrats stonewalled all year on a new pandemic relief package. Now they're proposing a new plan that undercuts even Republican proposals, and screws everyone but - get this - defense contractors...

With the election over, the Democratic leadership in the space of a few weeks somehow negotiated against themselves, working with Republicans to push the total amount of a Covid-19 relief deal further and further downward, to the point where previous plans offered by the likes of Mitch McConnell and Steve Mnuchin now look like LBJ’s Great Society.

Democrats ultimately settled for less than a third of what they had set as a baseline for state and local aid, accepted a package without any $1,200 direct payments, and signed off on a plan that, after offsets, includes less than $350 billion in new money, well below a slew of pre-election proposals rejected by Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer as being too low.

Back in May, the Democrat-led House passed the HEROES Act*, a $3.4 trillion relief package that was pitched as the bill Democrats really wanted. It contained $413 billion new dollars for $1,200 direct payments to citizens, as well as $437 billion in additional unemployment benefits, and a whopping $1.13 trillion for state and local governments.

Remember all of that state and local funding that Democrats insisted was so crucial to the aid package?

Today, the state and local aid package signed off on by Manchin and Warner is down to $160 billion, appropriated as part of a separate bill that may or may not pass at all, with the main $748 billion plan. In other words, Democrats just agreed to take seven times less than the $1.13 trillion they asked for in the HEROES Act, and about half of Mnuchin’s $300 billion offer in October that Pelosi rejected as “sadly inadequate.”

As usual, 1kiki, you don't know enough about Americans to correct them about anything. Wherever you are hanging out, you might have learned excellent English, but your understanding of Americans is not competent. I would bet your life doesn't go smoothly, mostly because of your lack of understanding. Pretty much every Trump defender I know has personal problems caused by their silliness and lack of understanding.
