comfortable and happy, not in that order, are the goal.  It's good to be able to afford to base your beliefs on principle and morals....

How does your racist language and homophobia shoehorn into that?

how many gay friends do u have on FB?off the top of my head I have at least 8.  everythings a competition with u.  I like that

Wow! 8! That’s super-duper! They probably enjoy your comments like “there were gay people there but that’s ok”.  Or maybe you save that sort of thing for when you operate in anonymity. Either way that’s really impressive! You are a Facebook ally!

Wait.  The new definition of being progressive is having an LGBT face book friend. 

 

Reads like that old" I'm not a racist I got a black friend" trope 

8 friends but who’s counting (their gay friends)?

In practice, it might be best not to classifying friends, family, or acquaintances in terms of the sexual orientation or self-identification while treating them all the same.  How progressive would that be? 

 

The problem with the progressive mind-set is there's a requirement to classify everyone into a group based on their appearance or some "key" trait.  And once they're classified, assign various traits and characteristics the dogma associates with that group to that individual.  Whether they might apply or not, making lots of assumptions about the person.  It's the premier form of judging a book by its cover.  We used to call it racism and bigotry but now it's a fashionable, acceptable and required exercise thanks to DEI.

right, thanks for the talk down - says a lot about you

 

lowest inflation in the world and also fastest deceleration rate of any developed country

 

yes housing is out of control but that HAS to crash for the good of the future generations

 

unemployment down but also jobs that were previously replaced by robots returning to humans

 

middle class getting boosted with union strength

 

 

 

 

 

 

All of this is why people are fleeing Cali & the west coast states i guess because they can't afford to live due to the tax structure ? 

 

I just took a uber to the airport last night in Houston and the driver moved from Cali because he could no longer afford to live there & wanted a better life to use the monies he earned for his benefit & not the elite politicians views of how to use their money .

 

Have heard many conversations here in Tenn. of those moving here because of the same thing & even more of these folks moving away from the west coast in general because of the way politicians non common sense law making has that part of the country circling the bowl on the way down .

 

Even here around the Nashville area a 2100 Sq Ft house starting at $600k (no inflation here) how can people afford to bust that nut every month & have extra money for a family vacation ? The house i live in that i bought for $66k they now say has over quadrupled in price NAH no inflation here !! 

 

I saw the same thing happen in 08 while in FL. 3 yrs prior to the crash. When it comes to housing there has to be a reset this kind of thing is unsustainable for anyone that is middle class or someone that will work & has graduated looking to make a life for them selves .

 

Everything in life is based on making more money but when does the amount of work done meet with the amount of money paid ? It's all relevant ! When a guy flipping burgers has to make $15 per hr that means the guy that has over 20 years experience of being making $24.00 a hr as a brick or block mason or carpenter, cabinet maker, mechanic or what ever HAS TO make more money which in turn makes everything else go up but career politicians don't care or want to here it !

 

Work ethic in this country has been for the most part taken over by entitlement (just because) for many rather than those born in the 70's & earlier .
