US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Fatboi Gus]

Grocery stores in my area are starting people at $22.50/hr to bag groceries and round up loose carts. Some of the plumbing and electrical apprenticeships in my area are starting around $16/hr. Mind you, sticking with the trade will have you making close to 6 figures in 4-6 years, but they can't hire anyone because kids are getting paid more to get stoned and have 0 responsibility.

Those are the same high time preference fuckwits who will be crying about MUH LIVING WAGE MUH EBIL CAPITALISM down the line too

The logical thing to do is to let Trump win and fortify the house and senate runs so he wont get anything he wants and has constant impeachment hanging over him by Romney republicans.

Give up a couple of sacrificial lambs to let Trump feel like he got revenge (the FBI fuck Trump appointed, Garland and Bootyjudge will do nicely as white guys) then stimy everything he does in judicial activism and outright disobedience in the diplomatic corps and military. Get Hawaii judge to rule that he cant tell anyone in the civil service what to do. Get DoJ fucks to go after his family and use the media to create a scandal when he tries to stop it and keep him mired in bullshit.

Cherry on top let the economy implode on his watch and laugh. Prepare the way for Newson in 2028.

But they arent doing this. Why?

Half measure and the fact that it requires the idea that Trump won't go Samson in the Temple if they start shit with him.

Even initiating economic Gottersamnerung on Trump's watch would end with the left swinging from trees for obvious reasons.

The only way to win for the left is complete capitulation at this point. They overreached and if they don't full retreat now, they won't have the chance to ever try again because they'll all be dead.

Despite the increase in pay, those places still can't seem to keep anybody. Turn-over and terminations are just as common as they were 10 years ago when they paid around the minimum wage.

Apparently California is extending health insurance to illegal immigrants. The media response to this has been very positive.

Only in America, rule-breaking are not only celebrated, but actively rewarded as well. Amazing.

Liberals put their ideas into practice. Regardless, what a shithole California is.

All part of the plan.

Only in Blue America. The rest of the Red states are still a bit more rational for now. Until the great Commiefornia Exodus turns them blue too.

Advertised wages like that are typically for managers only. People below that are likely making $12-15/hr. (On top of that, store managers in grocery/retail/food service are some of the most vile pieces of shit you will ever work with. They are the kind of people that give you 7-7.5 hr days because state law allows you a 30 minute break at 8, and have fits when you won't stay till 2am last minute. People running trades in my area can be just as scummy as well. People don't want to work these jobs since they are sick of dealing with middle managers and cheapass boomers.

One of the perks of those jobs is zero drug testing. If you're having to work two or three of those jobs to make ends meet, sparking up will be one of the few joys you'll have in your life. Otherwise you just go on the government dole and find yourself a side hustle that doesn't get reported to the IRS.

But yeah, if you're a kid with your future ahead of you, take the fucking apprenticeship. I remember being young a dumb and I don't exactly miss those days anymore.

Safeway, Seattle, starting wage for lot attendants and baggers. They are hanging giant banners in front of their stores advertising it. It's not a misunderstanding. I've had a few coworkers moonlight as overnight stock boys for $25+.

So I was watching this interview with Tucker Carlson and Kyle Rittenhouse when I spotted this comment:

Companies pay out big money to these violent groups hoping it will protect their assets from being destroyed. It is because of fear that they do it. Even though insurance companies will have to pay for their loses which ends up being paid by the consumer of what the companies produce. It is like the mafia in the old days getting paid protection money from businesses that don't want to get burned out or have some bones broken. Same concept.

So basically BLM and Antifa are the prog left mafia, and these companies throwing donation money at them are essentially submitting to a protection racket. Interesting take.

 

[Absurdist Laughter]

I'm watching Decoy Voice and someone made me aware of the census data. Apparently, in 2020 the census was conducted without asking for citizenship of the person participating. Now the commenter on the stream mentioned that if this is true, all the migrants that are flooding into blue states might inflate the electoral votes when the census is taken again either before 2030 or on schedule for 2030. Actually, now that I think about it, if the border isn't really under control by 2028 and we get an early census, democrats could be setting themselves up to win when Donald Trump isn't blowing in their faces.

They're $3 here but usually have some sort of sale, the goal being to push you to buy at least 2, preferably 4, at a time, that drops it to $2.50 or lower.

The store brand is still $1.25 if you buy 2, IIRC.

This was the main argument being made at the time. It was shot down as being racist and everybody carried on as usual. It was a huge anti-Trump issue for a while.

They want to win by having a right that's just dangerous enough for their federal police force to force in gulags. The orphaned kids are a good side benefit.

You couldn't pay me enough to do that shit.

They also want full time availability for part time pay. Fuck them.

Corporate America run by pussies.

How far have things fallen since the end of the cold war.

I prefer the old school mafia. At least traditional organized crime didn't let their neighborhoods turn into anarchistic shitholes.
