@MAGAMAHACindy@SeanSmith162 Inflation hit after Vietnam, so while there were hard times for some by the 80's, B's were better established to stay ahead of it. Each Gen since has demonstrably had a harder time launching themselves as we invest less and less in young people through B-supported policy.
@VesperMart41932@trader_that@Dying2Retire@MAGAMAHACindy@PortPolitics1 Boomers get piled on because they were catered to by government and business, as a generation, like no other. Subsequent generations saw less government and business investment in young people and thus opportunity shrank. College is an example:
@KhalidUnchained Yes, the fault is with the police who allowed it. Allowing criminals freedom can be a tactic to control, damage or scapegoat a community, knowing most people won't think.
@KhalidUnchained@VladTheInflator Yes, they were mostly related in someway or other. And the police refused to help because they didn't think the victims deserved it. I fell there is more than meets the eye in this story.
@MarvinMewMew@anthonyzenkus It took 3 presidents to kill the family. All because Anwar A began working with the government after 9/11, thinking he could help.
@_ZachFoster@Columbia@Harvard Consider it would be in the interest of justice to make clear this language shows genocidal intent and Israel is in violation of international law w/o nazi reference. "Be against this because we fought nazis" won't rhyme forever. Be against it because it's wrong.
@SenWarren We don't need things to be free, we need it to be affordable. We need work to pay so we can reinvest our work in ourselves. Address the tax structure and how it affects wages. Or, explain the new system where wages aren't the distribution system of the profits of labor.
@DrKarimWafa Western academia is a colonialist project. Not that all academics want it to be, but it is. So, it's the best way to be a radical with a job. Academia is the perfect co-option of radicalism as a jobs program and yet the right complains. I always find that confusing.
@alon_mizrahi Trump operates on chaos because others were in charge keeping things running as he stole in the confusion. His technique doesn't work when he is in charge because there is no one to make things work out in the wash. He needs order and morality to work against.
@mattlieb I was cleaning and found the princess dress my mom bought me in 1977. It bought her a little more good will even now. I didn't throw it out so it can keep giving.
'Running for re-election in 1980, President Jimmy Carter told close colleagues that βIf I get back in, Iβm going to fuck the Jews.β He lost, but the following year his successor, Ronald Reagan, tried to win Congressional approval for an aircraft sale to Saudi Arabia despite Israeli objections. An earlier president, Gerald Ford, once said to a senator: βAre we going to let the fucking Jews run American foreign policy?β Ten years later, President George Bushβs Secretary of State, James Baker, said to a colleague: βFuck the Jews. They donβt vote for us anyway,β words said in private which became public and were blazoned as a headline in an Israeli paper.' -- From Geoffrey Wheatcroft, author of "The Controversy of Zion" in The Independent, 1998.
