It sounds like you are questioning the decisions that black people make about there lives and telling them they should be more like the white people. I will be interested in how these numbers change over the next 40 years. 1

Conversely, more wealthy whites than blacks but that's not who we're talking about. They likely have life expectancies similar to the national average.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/black-population-by-state much information here but what strikes me is that most poor southern states are 20-30% black. so "questioning the decisions that black people make about there lives and telling them they should be more like the white people" would be extremely misinformed, misleading and disingenuous.... from wiki: "In the framework of American federalism, states, in general, have wide latitude to enact policies within their borders, including state taxation and labor laws. Among the factors that may increase the inequality within a given state are regressive state tax policies[2] (with the role of taxation in diminishing inequality increasing since the 1980s),[3] tax incentives for large companies,[4]corruption,[5] reduced trade union membership,[6] adoption of right-to-work laws,[7] lower minimum wages,[8] poorer healthcare[9] and increased welfare spending on the poor.[7]" Yup. and there are some here that argue for more regressive taxation.

If you're a Democrat it's perfectly OK to be an election denier if Republicans win. if Democrats win its the most secure election in the history of the world. And, it's a good thing cuz they're right. There are many examples of this heroic behavior. Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams, Pramila Jayapal, and Jamie Raskin immediately come to mind. With the exception of President Biden and LBJ, Hakeem is the type of candidate the Democrats have always won with in my lifetime. Young, charismatic, relatively unknown so minimal baggage candidates like Kennedy, Carter, Clinton, and Obama. He would be a good choice for them and could very well win IMHO. I believe that's why they put him in as Speaker of the House. Getting him a little pub before his 2024 run. As to the Is it art question, it definitely is IMHO. You might not like it,but it certainly is art. What about it would make you wonder if its not art?

Well written but I call bulls!t. I think we're past this. It's interesting idea. Lots of good points. The problem is the group that's always making the plans isn't diverse at all. The plan to create this diverse group to call me up with these ideas is kinda what the house is. Problem is they are bought and paid for and lack any thought diversity.

A contractor friend (healthy, strong dude) called me yesterday to apologize for not getting back to me with a solar quote (significant state and fed tax breaks available) because he was in bed with Covid for 13 days. 3 weeks later says he's at 75%. I've never had an infection linger so long but at least I'm out of bed and doing limited exercise. Edited January 22, 2023 by redtail hawk 1
boater Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 ANTIFA aligned groups have the city of Atlanta under siege, mostly trying to stop construction of a police training center (isn't better police training what these type wanted?). Face the Nation is currently on and all they can refer to the agitators is "organized groups" ..they can't dare name who it is. It destroys the narrative. 1
