Thanks for the comeback Oro. Well said. You and I have a lot in common re thoughts, experiences, and observations.
When the local powers that be decided to single out and share, or sacrifice, giveaway, USA peoples businesses and occupations (of producers) with foreign nations, the “victims” should get tax exempt status for life. War veterans also should be tax exempt for life. And the social security checks should be double at least.
Things like capacitors bulge and leak over time. Thermal paste get hard on transistors etc. Just one bad component on an integrated ciruit board and the whole missile is toast. Once the white genie escapes out of electonics, it’s over. I don’t have faith in those who are suppose to be maintaining the gear. Lots of hope and prayers
I don’t blame you and you’ll probably be right. However I still think the bottom is in on the shares. Maybe a sucker’s play but there has to be a bottom somewhere right?
and then there’s Wanka, ya just can’t trust his THIS IS IT!!! prognostications….
The two male parents of a six-year-old little girl told employees at the school to refer to their daughter as a boy, and to call her by a new masculine name. The little girl’s hair had also been cut like a boy’s.
Wish that I could agree but, I just can’t. Rally is overdue but, then what? The weekly cycles are still quite young and after the incipient rally back down we go. This is not over yet.
The investment TAX CREDIT used by President Kennedy created the BOOM years of the Sixties ..I bought 50,000 worth of machinery from an American Company that made excellent machines. Thats in 1960 dollars ! OUR BUSINESS WAS BOOMING everybody had jobs ,in fact help was hard to find…We were allowed to EXPENCE some investments which means if you invested ,it came right off of your taxes…I made more money in those years than I make today …I put 30% cash down on a house I bought for 17,5000…I didnt need Health insurance I pAID CASH FOR MY CHILDRENS BIRTH ..THE WHOLE HOSPITAL BILL WAS $250 ..DR INCLUDED that represented about 2.5 weeks wages for the average worker in those days ..try doing that today ! The only thing Health Insurance did was create a MIDDLE MAN …that added nothing to the service but an addition 30 % to the COST….Bring back the investment TAX CREDIT and manufacturing …the economy will boom….
Immigration was mostly Cubans whom I gladly hired and they turned out very well ,black employment was high I had 15 % of my staff was black and very productive …We had some union problems but our employees rejected them whenever they tried to union ize us .The problems were Government corruption with the unions ,but our 150 employees rejected both of them.. This was in NJ (not a right to work State ) .OUR own Government finally did us in and exported our entire industry …just like they did to Shoe,Garment ,Furniture,business… cloth weaving etc…
“…middle-aged whites have lost the narrative of their lives.… while universal health care, higher minimum wages, aid to education, and so on would do a lot to help Americans in trouble, I’m not sure whether they’re enough to cure existential despair.“
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/09/2015 – 15:05For months, black student groups have complained of racial slurs and other slights on the overwhelmingly white (79% white and 8% black) flagship campus of the Missouri’s four-college system. Today, amid a campus in open revolt and at least 30 black football players announcing that they would not play until the president was gone, AP reports that Mizzou President Tim Wolfe has resigned effective immediately urging students and faculty “to heal and start talking again to make the changes necessary.” Protestors demanded that Wolfe “acknowledge his white male privilege,” that he is immediately removed, and that the school adopt a mandatory racial-awareness program and hire more black faculty and staff.
“White male privilege” and middle aged whites in despair. Any idea why? If the school is 79% white and 8% black what should the ratio of the faculty be? The same? 50/50?
I would venture a guess that the whites in despair are responding to having been under attack for the last 50 years. Don’t expect the Marxist Krugman to admit to that though. JMO.
