The 2020 USA POTUS election politics, the civil war, and the world war (Part 1)

From this report, Conservative folks must keep cellphones shut down. You’re being watched & listened most times.

Guess it’s time for you to delete your Russian Parler app.

Tell that to the hedge funds.

When you do, be certain to be wearing a vest.

Parler’s not Russian, it’s funded by the Mercer* family. Parler has always been upfront that it collects all sorts of data, like you having to send them back and front photos of your drivers license as part of their verification process. Parler’s target audience is Trump supporters, so them figuring this out in this manner is par for the course.

*when you owe $7 Billion in taxes, formenting a coup is a cheap investment.

/Hey Parler-ites, Parler says up front you’re also legally responsible for what you post on there.

Looks like we won’t find out about how the minimum wage change would impact the economy until later. Apparently whatever horse trading among the Democrats has sidelined this issue in the first round of covid related relief.

As Pelosi pointed out in the past, with Trump it seems all roads lead to Putin.

Once Amazon refused to continue hosting the terrorist network, Parler started relaying all data through its users’ Motherland.

Ah, that will probably increase Parler’s popularity.

It happened back during the latter portion of January. The outcome went virtually unreported by the American mainstream media subsidiary of the DNC, exactly as you would expect. So what happened?

Senate leader Charles Schumer reached out to Chief Justice John Roberts personally, requesting he preside at the upcoming Senate trial of former President Donald Trump.

Chief Justice Roberts resisted Schumer’s formal request. He declined to preside.

Roberts, who detests Trump, did cooperate with Schumer to a limited extent. He kept his flat refusal very low key and he never went public with his reasoning. As a result many Americans are unaware of what happened, which is precisely the outcome Schumer and Roberts prefer, given both the impeachment and trial are completely bogus, 100% political hit jobs.

“It”?

Yes Roberts doesn’t have to preside. Because Trump is no longer the sitting president. That doesn’t change anything except Robert’s not presiding. The only reason for the Chief Justicr to preside with a sitting president is that it doesn’t make sense for someone in the succession order to be presiding.

Already answered if you bother to read the rest of the post.

CBO on the $15 minimum wage proposal say almost 10% of now-under-the- new-minimum-wage jobs would be lost under the current democrat plan for the Increasing Welfare Voters Act.

In an average week in 2025, the year when the minimum wage would reach $15 per hour, 17 million workers whose wages would otherwise be below $15 per hour would be directly affected, and many of the 10 million workers whose wages would otherwise be slightly above that wage rate would also be affected. At that time, the effects on workers and their families would include the following: Employment would be reduced by 1.4 million workers, or 0.9 percent, according to CBO’s average estimate…

Someone had a good time taking some shots at NYT.

If you saw I liked that and were wondering why I gave you a like, you found an actual news source.

Here’s a thing though, does America (or any country) really need to keep everyone employed when our needs and wants can be produced by less than everyone in the country? For instance modernization and automation mean we can feed the country with far fewer farm employees than we once needed.

I’m reminded of a quote, translated variously from Socrates, along the lines

“the wants of mortals are vessels which can never be filled”

http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~clas381a/plato_gorgias_text.htm [see 493a]

So I disagree with the premise along those lines. In addition, it’s certainly better to have nearly everyone working productively than putting a bunch of people perpetually out of work who will then go around agitating for and voting for even more benefits for their continued non-working. That’s an unstable system in a representative government that leads to over-promising politicians, electing socialists, and eventually, if you’re unlucky, economic collapse.

ETA: it wouldn’t be that hard to get around the bad incentives by having a rule like if you took more than $5k in govt welfare, you couldn’t vote that year, but I’m sure the existing vested interests would never agree to something like that.

I can’t imagine the despair people feel when they’re unemployed, even if they’re still able to have a roof over their heads and food on the table. It isn’t just about surviving but being able to thrive thanks to the fruits of one’s labor.
