I have a stupid tendency to think he had some agency, but he's just pure, unfiltered id

It still blows my mind just how close Trump has/had been to being an extremely popular president, if not for his own stupid miscalculations.

So exports minus inventories was a net gain of 0.06% is that right?

Cause fuck the middle class. Means testing is just a way of weakening political support for a program. Instead of it being universal, it's a program for the poors and can be cut with impunity, or just not implemented at all.

Republicans talking about "Dem garbage" in southeast Michigan is totally not coded racial language.

Personally, yes. For someone working at my company I'd be a bit more wary

If Trump wins in 2020 that's enough reason to go out of country. I'd say pretty damn left if I had to pick a place on the spectrum, but with a healthy respect for markets so I can't get on the DSA or tariff train. Without a doubt Trump's presidency has moved me further left than I thought would happen.

Moderation in moderation

Went to be an analyst. That stem degree buys a decent amount of credibility when your boss has an engineering background. Mostly a different company/industry. The political aspect is secondary, to be honest, but it's still something to consider.

There is a very nonzero chance that they would attempt/actually implement a national LTC program, that would effectively put me out of a job in this current company. With Trump, it's a very zero chance this happens. But regardless, that would be 2020, and it would be well past time to jump for greener pastures.

This thread is funnier if you make his full name "Fuck Scott Lloyd"

Heh, I work for a long term care insurance company. And I agree 100% with this article. Luckily for me, I'm in a tech role so I can transition out of this if necessary (I'm not going to be here long term anyway, maybe another two years before jumping ship, and definitely jumping if a democratic Congress and president are in office)

I wonder if Ron Ryan hasn't had time to read this, or anything else, now that he's busy preparing for life after retirement

I love that graph.

Isn't this what you libs wanted????!?!??

These lunches are aimed primarily at software engineers and similar white collar roles, who have new college graduates start over $100k/year at average companies with kids from average CS programs. Provided lunches aren't for the janitors or other blue collar types, who really do struggle in the Bay area. These people are on track to make a stupid amount of money, and can set themselves up to move across country in a similar role for at something like 80% pay for a 50% COL adjustment. I'm not going to mourn the loss of this untaxed perk for those who literally are in the best career track possible today when there are real issues with poverty and the cost of living in the Bay area.

Let's not pretend like these Facebook employees aren't the 1%

This thread went full retard

Yeah, housing prices are high but it's not for stupid reasons like in 2008. It's due to a lack of supply and a strong demand. This is only similar to 2008 in that prices are high.

We did kinda overthrow the Hawaiian monarchy so white people could grow sugar. So there's that.

Government, through zoning laws, needs to get out of the way and allow building in desirable areas. FHA could loosen restrictions on loans for condos as well. I personally don't want a big ass house deep in the suburbs. I'd be more than happy with a decent condo or townhome in a decent part of the city, if I didn't need to pay $500k+ for it
