This clip will be played over and over. I don’t think Biden has a chance. He can’t even read from a script. https://grabien.com/story.php?id=278449

Cuomo had done a 180 today too. What the hell is going on?

How does the math workout though when you factor in appreciation of the property? Would the money have been better served invested in CDs or property?

Can i just travel the world and climb mountains in a lambo suv?

Completely agree with this and it is what I worry about most right now. I just dont see how this ends well, and theyre talking about another stimulus package...

Strongly disagree with this. In the 80s your car would have been a POS that was lucky to start every morning. Remember when having 100k miles was a big deal? Corvettes had 185hp... I didnt have a color tv in the 80s, id venture to say that the 60" HD tv you can buy now for $400 costs less and looks a little better than that black and white tv. In every field Ive worked in, from running my own biz, to sales, to now engineering the internet has made me infinitely more productive in my job. Not because I work more but because of all the troubleshooting knowledge I have at my fingertips. I dont have to dig through manuals. I can also browse forums to see if other people have had the same issues, In general a lot of employers are pulling back on working hours as they realize people are more productive when they have better work life balance. As far as houses go they may not be nicer but theyre way more affordable Mortgage interest rates in the 80s were 10-20%. Now theyre 3-4.

Your coworker is an outlier, not the norm. You’re still way more likely to die or be hospitalized from another cause if you’re young and healthy.

Any thoughts on the idea of opening up to everyone under 60 without underlying conditions? We've been half joking about that here at work. About half of us are in our 30s and the other half 60s. Let the low risk segment of the population build up herd immunity. Hell I'd even volunteer to purposely get infected and tough it out at home for two weeks.

Guys on WGR this morning hinted at the idea that the coming year is going to be much worse than officials are letting on. I just cant see how we get back to normal anytime soon. The paranoia alone is enough to tank an economy, let alone everything being shutdown. https://a.msn.com/r/2/BB12Cfqa?m=en-us&referrerID=InAppShare

Yes. Because you and I arent competing with the rich for resources. They're buying different things than we are.

LOL. not true. I left my last firm because it was completely mismanaged. My point was just that its not the norm to hack off good employees, usually there's more to the story.

First...LMAO at the vox. And 90% of those citations have nothing to do with race. when is being from mexico a race? or being muslim a race? Get out of here with this bullshit and grow up.

Your other article stated that average income among the working class has increased at a rate 11% over the rate of inflation, these are saying its stayed about the same. In my opinion the average wage should simply keep up with inflation. As I said previously quality of life has increased dramatically in the last 50 years. I don't doubt that the wage gap has increased and will continue to increase. However people who work their asses off have every opportunity to work their way into the top quintile (+$230k). The thing to remember is that if you were to take all of this extra money the "rich" are making and lets say equally disperse it among everyone that the net affect would be 0 gain in purchasing power due to increased inflation.

In my personal experience I've never seen the union do anything but protect people who should be fired and take money out of the pockets of its employees. I've never personally heard of or seen anyone fired without due cause. I've had people make excuse after excuse as to why they were fired but the reality is typically they are completely self unaware. In my experience unions aren't needed anymore. Thinking back to the people I've fired... Homophobic rant. Stealing. Missed sales goals 3 months consecutively. Lied on resume. Pushed an employee. Abused attendance policy. Two employees due to downsizing. These hurt but both were generally unproductive.

Yep. Plus the insurance they have to carry will get cheaper when everything is automated. Same goes for over the road trucking.

Completely agree with the automation portion. I built my career on further automating food production. Its getting to the point now where two or three staff can run an entire plant. Give me a couple boston dynamics spots and I can do it with one person. I think eventually it will get to the point that some sort of universal income will be required, especially when freight transportation becomes completely automated.

I find the article misleading and this is why. The fact that productivity has outpaced pay By 6X is completely expected (I would have expected that number to be higher) given technological advances, especially in the time frame given. The early 80s was when automation started to become widespread and the 2000s when the internet made nearly everything easier. The truth is that the 11% wage increase is a direct result of increased productivity, and that the missing number in the article is how much the standard of living has increased today vs the 80s, mainly a result of the 11% increase OvER what we should have expected, which was standard inflation. We enjoy a lifestyle now that nearly everyone in the 80s could only dream of. https://www.aei.org/economics/political-economy/living-standards-better-for-americans-years-ago/

Yep, still wouldnt trade 20 years of my life for that. Especially not a CO. I wouldn’t mind firefighting but only cause I’d be able to spend 6 hours a day pushing weight lol

I get it, but one of my best friends from High School is a trooper and while we both make about the same money I wouldn’t trade jobs in a million years. Everyday he goes to work where just about everyone you come into contact with hates you or wants to hurt you. His first week on the job he saved a guy with narcan only for the guy to attack him when he came to because his high was ruined.

I believe you, I just have no issue in the portion of my taxes that go to their salaries and retirement. Outside of the troopers typically theyre underpaid in my opinion.

With the exception of the troopers id say all of those positions are underpaid. I give a lot of credit to people willing to put their lives at risk everyday to make a living. So i'm sure that some of them just want the benefits but for most Id say its more about giving back. I personally know that no one is making it through the trooper academy just to collect a paycheck, its literally two months of hell.

Just to put your mind at ease that it is possible to support Trump and bot be a bigot heres a pic of my garage. Or should I post pictures of Kanye? Or of my friends who i went to highschool with that support trump where i was the minority? Get out of here with that BS.

I completely agree that there is a lot he could say differently, and a politician would do just that. But hes not a career politician. I've been complaining for years about the USPS so you're not going to get much love from me there. I think it should have been allowed to fail and then privatized. USPS is a prime example of why you dont want a single payer health care system IMO.

WOW...angry much? I cant make a clear cut and dry point that Fauci was wrong in calling out trump when hes on video saying there was nothing to worry about in late February without being called a racist?
