Buffalo_Gal Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Man, @plenzmd1 now your quotes are so messed up, I cannot quote your response. I guess I'm next. Board software, gotta love the glitches."But i thought all the tech , where people worked 80 hours a week to get successful, all leaned left??" I don't lean left. I do have some "lefty" ideals. I also have "righty" ideals. I like to think of myself as a centrist, and hopefully, I-can-be-taught. (And to be fair, I am no longer "in tech".) What you are seeing in so much of the tech workers leaning left is YOUNG people tend to lean left. The old, saw “If a person is not a liberal when he is twenty, he has no heart; if he is not a conservative when he is forty, he has no head." 1

I am thrilled to know it isn't just happening to me and @plenzmd1 But seriously, I wonder what the issue is, and why it is only happening to a few people?

These are the leftists whose idea of a career is to get paid by unions to protest. These are the leftists who spend their lives staring at successful people who worked their ass off to achieve a good career and financial stability and say, out loud in annoying triggered whines, "It's not fair that I can't have what they have." They're the Occupy Wall Street soilers of police cars, and Antifa harrasers of old men driving through downtown Portland. They're the stay-at-home son who gets paid to post comments on message boards and online news comment sections. They need things to collapse because they're too lazy and stupid to make life work by their own efforts.

These clowns have been wrong in every single prediction since before the election and yet they get right back up to the plate and keep right on swinging. Even a blind squirrel finds the occasional nut but so far all of this peace and prosperity has to be very frustrating for them! When the war starts, the ice caps melt, and the great depression kicks in they’re going to party like it’s the MORNING of November 2016. his ilk were totally wrong on the USSR's actions and intentions every day from 1919 to 1989 this is just a new genre to wrong about, for the same type of fool

I realize it's simply a matter of semantics, but you're describing what I call the difference between 'Liberal' and 'Leftist". Being for the most part libertarian-minded, I consider myself to be a reasonably liberal person. By the same token, being mostly libertarian prevents me from being a leftist, in that I support only a very limited role by the feds in the affairs of the citizenry. I know I may come off as being a bit anal with regard to definitions, but the distinction is an important one in my mind. 3
SoCal Deek Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 There are no true liberals still left in America. The ‘liberal’ party has been hijacked by socialists. A true liberal wants the government to stay out of people’s private lives whereas socialists want the government telling everyone how to do everything! I see this as a natural evolution. Since pretty much nothing is illegal anymore, the Left has gotten bored and decided instead to start telling everyone else that they have to agree and comply with their version of freedom.

B-Man Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 The Truth about Trump´s Economy Jewish World Review, by Alicia Colon Original Article While Nancy Pelosi and other Democrat leaders dismiss the Trump economy as just benefiting the wealthy, my perspective is quite different. Since I have always resided in or near the inner cities of New York, it is quite obvious that these leaders have no idea what is happening in these neighborhoods. Help Wanted signs are posted in about every small business which no longer has to suffer the Obamacare mandates. Houses are undergoing renovations for the first time in years. The nearby housing project parking lots are filled with brand new vehicles. More at the link
Buffalo_Gal Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (Philly Fed) May 2019 Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey Results from the May Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey suggest continued growth for the region’s manufacturing sector. The survey’s indexes for general activity, shipments, and employment increased from their April readings. The new orders index remained positive but decreased modestly. The survey’s future activity index, after falling in recent months, was little changed, while the firms’ forecast for future employment improved. Current Indicators Suggest Continued Growth The diffusion index for current general activity increased from 8.5 in April to 16.6 this month (see Chart 1). Over 25 percent of the manufacturers reported increases in overall activity this month, while 9 percent reported decreases. The indexes for current shipments and new orders moved in opposite directions this month: The current shipments index increased 9 points, while the new orders index fell 5 points. The current inventories index fell 6 points to its first negative reading in four months. </snip> (NY Fed) Empire State Manufacturing Survey The monthly survey of manufacturers in New York State conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Delivery times held steady, and inventories moved slightly lower. Labor market indicators pointed to small increases in employment and hours worked. Price indexes were little changed, suggesting that prices increased at about the same pace as last month. Indexes assessing the six-month outlook indicated that firms were significantly more optimistic about future conditions than they were in April. </snip>

Why not purchase them from farmers and sell them to poor countries at a profit? Can't they do anything right?
