The Frankish Reich Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: Wasn't reagomics responsible for the saying "a rising tide lifts all ships"? Here's where we really see that the newfangled/post-Trump "Republican" Party is now all about class warfare. It is not about a rising tide lifting all boats. It is about getting retribution on all the financiers and capitalists who have made too much money on the backs of the "regular" (read: working class/non-professional middle class) workers. Hmm, we have a word for that kind of agenda, don't we? And it sure ain't "capitalist." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly correct...... Thanks. And the second part: if we want to get back at Davos Man and all those financiers who make tons of money while they try to run the world according to what's best for them, who should we elect? Why, none other than billionaire Donald J. Trump, father-in-law to Davos 2024 attendees Jared Kushner (an official appointee of his last administration) and his younger brother. Makes perfect sense to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes perfect sense to me. Simple yes or no question. I've read a number of these posts re Davos. Have you listened to the interviews that have been televised from these folks? I have, and have for years. Not because it's interesting viewing, I'm just a 7:30 to 8:30 CNBC listener for years. Lots of people have posted lots of views on this, and I'm wondering if they ever watch this stuff. Obviously, it seems to me, they haven't, but in the interest of polite conversation, I thought I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great gondolas. A funicular. It's relatively inexpensive. Cool little town for apres ski. pretty people generally.

Irv Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Bidenomics in a nutshell: Destroy tens of millions of good paying jobs and millions of small businesses due to unnecessary shutdowns, power grabs, and incentives not to work. Do nothing to address the pandemic other than sending trillion$ to their buddy donors in Big Pharma for useless vaccines and boosters, shutting down schools, small business, and the country for no reason whatsoever. Claim all the public sector and hospitality job growth is new growth as if the actions they took in 1 and 2 have nothing to do with it. Lying right to your ***** face. What a mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Irv is from Rochester. @Irv, if you ever find yourself in Davos, "Garbage Plate" is "Mullteller" (with an umlaut over the u). They may understand French. It sounds a lot nicer: "Assiette Poubelle" Some even speak Italian. That's my favorite: "Piatto della Spazzatura." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irv could take a swim in the icy waters of Lake Como, just over the border. Might wake him up from his stupor.

There’s a lot of distaste in the union circles over how Biden handled the railroad strike a couple years back The UAW is toast once Chinese EV's start to penetrate the US market. Shawn's a little late realizing that the administrations EV push is going to eliminate UAW jobs. China’s automakers take the world by storm with electric vehicle push "Chinese electric cars, cheaper than models built elsewhere, are making inroads in Europe, Australia and Southeast Asia. Competitors worry that Chinese brands may eventually dominate the global EV market." "The average price of an EV in China was €31,829 ($34,096) in the first half of 2022, compared with €55,821 ($59,797) in Europe and €63,864 ($68,429) in the United States, the firm said in a report last year." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
