row_33 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 one entertaining article last week debunked a lot of the 1619 stuff cotton was only a major crop for a few years, it was a longer fad than Tulip Bulb mania and noted that Florida wasn't developed till well into the 20th century, so if cotton wasn't developed it was no bigger economic loss than the fact that oranges weren't harvested until recently in history and SUGAR was by far the most evil crop to work in (Louisiana's main max-sec prison still sends work details into the sugar cane fields, for which suicide and severe self-inflicted wounds is a major concern), and sugar wasn't a main crop of the US some of this was tongue in cheek.. amazing how sugar gets this free ride on its harvesting slavery history and how it is allowed to put 60g in fruit drinks and coffees... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just that it’s in China and it’s all so that woke folk can get an iPhone for a few bucks less...and it helps that liberals can’t ‘see it from their house’! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 I heard on the radio this morning that DeBlasio spent 7 HOURS in his office in May (two meetings and five phone calls). To this, I say thank you Mr. Mayor, please don’t drop out of the race, ever! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Democrats Aim To Win Back Working Class With … A Meat Tax? Issues & Insights, by The Editorial Board Original Article There’s been a spate of articles in recent days about how Democrats need to win back working-class voters who defected to President Donald Trump in 2016 if they want to regain the White House. Right in the middle of this discussion, Sen. Bernie Sanders provided yet another reminder of how incredibly, unbelievably out of touch the Democratic Party is with those voters. An AP story this week talked about how Democrats face an “identity crisis” as they try to answer the question, “How can they peel back Trump’s support with white working-class voters while boosting turnout with minorities and suburban women?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Cory Booker Wants to Fight Climate Change on the Cheap: Just $3 Trillion Over 10 Years. All the really serious candidates have at least 14 digits in their plans, Senator. DOES ELIZABETH WARREN EVEN REMEMBER WRITING THIS BOOK? It was titled “The Two-Income Trap” and it argued, perhaps unknowingly, for the proposition that progressive taxes harm two-income families. Somebody should ask the candidate about this.

B-Man Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 About that disastrous race for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination.... Some new polls (via Real Clear Politics? What a mess! Biden is too old and too mentally weak to be President, yet he's just sitting there at the top, immobile. And the only other strong candidates are the distinctly lefty Warren and Sanders. Harris cannot advance to double digits. And the mayor of a small city is inexplicably parked in fifth place. What about all the governors? Have they all dropped out, or are some of them still in and invisible? The polls are awful for the Democrats, who've exacerbated their problem with their structure for the debates — discussed in today's NYT podcast "The Daily" today: "The Sudden-Death Phase of the Democratic Primaries."
