@Old_Vet_B@leylahamed So only certain people are real people. The ones you disagree with are less than human...oh excuse me, I meant less than American.
@HamGonah1@BFujer@leylahamed Yes the people who did that are horrible. But so are the people who bombed small children - and who were they? Does that mean that every Israeli is evil? I don't believe that just as I don't believe that every Muslims is evil.
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
@Erickschultz11@Acyn@BJChippindale I wish I could believe he learned something, cuz, I don’t know, after the first few bankruptcies that’s really in question. And FTR he doesn’t seem very strong. In fact, his insecurities make him seem weak. But I understand that YMMV and we’ll just have to agree to disagree. Bye
@Erickschultz11@Acyn@BJChippindale You’ve got much more faith in his ability than I do. How do you square that with the fact that he has multiple bankruptcies? Were those all just part of a negotiating strategy?
@Erickschultz11@amycoplan@RhyanRun@Acyn@BJChippindale So you think the workers’ lives would suck no matter what? That suggests that we shouldn’t care about people who are struggling if it gets in the way of the bigger picture. Tell me I got that wrong because, ouch, that’s dark.
@aziz0nomics I can’t stand Graham Platner n if I lived in Maine, I couldn’t vote for him. But I think that’s a harsh judgement of those folks who feel like they have to support him in order to get control of the Senate.
@HunterBiden@guyfelicella Thx for your thoughts, Hunter. I’m a progressive but I originally had mixed feelings about you - not because of the addiction (got lots in my own family) but because of reports about your past behavior. And I see I was wrong about who you are. Thanks for setting me straight!
@Erickschultz11@amycoplan@RhyanRun@Acyn@BJChippindale Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I hope you’re right about tariffs but I am skeptical. Right before I read your reply I heard on the news that the owner of a plant outside Cleveland (who is a Trump supporter) is closing it n moving production to China……
@Erickschultz11@Acyn@BJChippindale LOL Have you figured out whether the war is over or not? Because our “able” president can’t seem to make up his mind.
The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney
As someone who has worked on national security vetting, the Trump Admin barring Somali referee Omar Artan entry to the US for the World Cup leads to more questions than answers.
Omar was vetted, approved, and issued a visa.
Then he landed in the United States and was suddenly deemed a national security threat.
So which is it?
Either the system failed, or someone changed the rules after the fact.
That's not how serious national security decisions should be made.
The public deserves to know what changed.
