Governor

Where in NC is this Qanon clown from?

But it isn’t over yet. You wanted to end this chapter at the beginning of the withdrawal.

Dunno. You should ask the generals, but so far, nothing bad happened and the Taliban seems cool with letting us get everyone out, which makes it an extremely successful withdrawal from a 20 year war.

But did we leave them and did they get slaughtered? It seems to be in progress and looks pretty successful.

I think Progressives need to keep things in perspective. Biden has been successful because he’s been taking hits from his right and also his left from the Squad. That’s exactly where he wants to be. It’s a game they’re playing. He’s able to appear center to most voters. But is Joe actually in the center? So far, not at all. He’s governed left of center. Obama was a true centrist. Yuck gross! If Biden is in the center, Obama would be a right-wing extremist militia leader from Illinois.

So you don’t like per capita either? Ya, I never used it to pushed a narrative either. You should pass that along to your buddies.

Looks like voters aren’t buying the media outrage. Not all that surprising. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/polling-shows-public-siding-biden-afghanistan-now-n1277073?cid=sm_npd_ms_fb_bw&fbclid=IwAR0h6Fkv2NzUVzGeTN9gQlEteWMEJKYmoMr4ekBv9FWXDbF2XlZJ8OLAbVE

What channel? I can’t even find it. They’re still whining about Kabul on my screen. Do we know who the guy is?

DeSantis is a victim of a vast left-wing conspiracy. We’re making him do all of these stupid things. It’s not fair.

There’s more? I thought we already peaked. Uh oh! https://www.wpbf.com/article/usf-researchers-florida-will-reach-peak-of-covid-surge-next-week-herd-immunity-sept-11/37342961

It’s a Trumper! It’s a Muslim! It’s Anteeeefa! Nope, it’s just Bernie Sanders trying to get those mustard and pastrami stains off his shirt.

We always knew we’d drag some of you kicking and screaming towards progress. I’m sure you’ll be just fine.

I always think back to some people I knew in HS that never finished and started their own landscaping business. These people used cheap labor(usually illegally) for the last 30 years and now own 750k homes and have a dozen vehicles. That’s not the American dream. That’s taking advantage of a rigged system. Someone that cuts lawns was never supposed to be a millionaire. That “model” never should’ve existed in the first place. It will take time for some to adjust.

I’m sorry that it isn’t working out in your favor. You’ll never see me siding with businesses that want their slaves back. Pay them and they’ll come back. If an extra $300/week is why no one is returning to work, that illustrates what the real problem is our economic system.

I think it’s pretty clear that people aren’t ever going to return to those low wage jobs. Some still seem to be in denial about that. No one wants to return to their pre-Covid life. We’re seeing evidence of that all across the workforce. In our lifetime, American workers have never had the power they presently have.

I just want everyone to know that Andy’s story is 100 percent true. I suggest you watch a film called “The White Ribbon.” Afterwards, think about when you were growing up. Revisit these threads and notice some of the behavior you see. In the coming months, I’ll try to track down Andy and get an update on his situation.

Oh for God’s sake.

Weekly per capita. I like per capita now. Great metric! https://www.statmap.org/deltastates.html

I voted for Bernie and I would change mine to Biden.

So we’re still at 90 percent at the 8 month mark?

But they are on welfare. Food stamps is welfare. If you make 9 bucks an hour and work at Walmart, you’re eligible for welfare. There is no different version of welfare for some “other” group where the government hands out fresh $1000 bills to people. The new Biden chid tax credit is a program to address child hunger. WIC is a welfare program.

There is no difference between the two. They’re the same thing.

The difference is: Federal Medicaid only covers people that have kids. Discrimination IMO. It rewards bad behavior (children) The state Medicaid programs cover low-income single people also. Not available in red states.
