An open secret at this point is that the Great Recession never truly ended for all but the rich. Whats the point of line going up if most of the gains go to kikes and other international elites at the top 1% at the expense of the average American? Wages have been mostly stagnant since the 70s yet CEO salaries keep increasing even as CEOs themselves become more out of touch and incompetent.
You got any more details on this? I am interested to hear more
 
I can't comprehend the mass stupidity that has inflicted our country. Im not even talking about people leaning left, all my moderate left friends voted trump because they've been pushed out of the party by purity tests. I'm just perplexed that a huge mass of people have let fear mongering and virtue signaling completely control their minds.
There has been a consistent dumbing down of America for at least a century. The average person doesn't seem to know even basic stuff anymore. Cashiers don't know how to add up quarters, dimes, and nickels to give change when you pay cash. Store employees can't do basic math for discounts. Most people rely on autocorrect to spell properly.

It wasn't always like this, though. A nifty piece of history is the Bullitt County Eighth Grade Examination from 1912. In addition to basics like spelling, reading, and arithmetic, there was even a section on Civil Government. How many high school graduates today would actually be able to complete this test? My guess is not many. And this was for 8th grade.

I’m sorry, you were expected to DRAW long-dead colonial figures? Were you graded on how Dutch Peter Stuyvesant looked?
 
How much you wanna bet Trump's approval rating craters after this? Not that it matters much, his entire administration lost all credibility in my eyes when he outright said he would import 500,000 Chinese immigrants to take our jobs.

Can you say Trump will never abolish income tax for me pretty please? 🥺
 
Sweaty we have no kings in America but they didn’t say nothin about queens 💅

Is this based on reality or what you wish were true? I can’t see Trump voters looking at a younger and more articulate representative of the MAGA movement and being like, no he’s not old and boomery on Twitter enough, pass. Hell I’ve been ready to vote for him since the VP debate.
I have a boomer relative who voted for Trump 3 times and is very pro-Vance.
After the VP debate they even opened up the conversation by asking "How'd our guy do during the debate?"
Very rapidly "our guy" came to be used to mean Vance in our conversations after that.
 
It's their last hurrah, but as I noted during the protest of a couple months ago, it reminds me of the Civil War reunions with the old doddering vets putting on their uniforms one last time to shake a Rebel's or Yankee's hand.
Oliver Wendell Holmes—one of the most famous justices of the Supreme Court and pretty well-liked by liberals—was a Civil War veteran who fought with the regiment formed out of Harvard students/grads and well-off types in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was wounded multiple times, including having been shot in the neck. And he made friends with a Confederate war veteran he met, writing letters for years afterwards and engaging in friendly banter about the war.

The faux conception that modern leftists have about the Civil War is retarded and insulting. The truth is that they don't really care because history only exists in service of their political goals. That's why leftists are so willing to twist history (or even eliminate it entirely) if it allows them to control the present. It's not like that's a new observation. It's literally the core of Orwell's 1984.

We’ve been in a Depression in reality, just covered up with borrowed and printed money.
 
What could be more emblematic of neoliberalism than using eminent domain to expropriate a 175-year-old farm so as to convert it into a slum?

In the bull’s-eye of development, Andy Henry’s family farm has survived for 175 years. “All the other farms disappeared,” he says. “We did not. We will not.”(Photo by Google Earth)

Via AG Web:
For three decades, Andy Henry has declined $20-30 million offers for his 21-acre, 175-year-old farm. …

On South River Road, in Middlesex County, N.J., warehouses and industrial buildings have replaced the once abundant farms of yesteryear—except a lone holdout.

Henry has good reason to hang on to the farm:
“In 1936, my grandfather died, leaving my grandmother and mother to run the farm. It was struggle after struggle, but they held on to the land, and again survived, leaving something for the next generation.”

Whether the farm can survive Big Daddy Government is the question.

“Keeping this legacy intact and passing it to the next generation has been, and is always, our plan.”

Cranbury Township Committee also has a plan: Cover Henry’s farm with housing units.

That is, affordable housing units, a.k.a. slum. If Henry doesn’t sell the farm, bureauweenies say they will confiscate it. Another small piece of America will die.
