Kolek planning to go pro
People in my Republican Party have to admit that the U.S. economy was saved from the brink by Obama, rallied for nearly a decade straight under Obama. And we admit Trump enjoyed the bounce of 8 years of strong economic policy under Barry O. But now that Trump’s own non-Republican policies have come to bear we get...a looming recession. Krugman shmugman, WarriorDad, if you put your often misplaced anger in the right place, you’d be thanking our cheesedick president with a single finger.
States minimum wage laws to take affect today up to $14/hour(district of Columbia) while $12/hour in California and Washington and Massachusetts with a few in the $10 range. Maryland is going the tba route-must be the ole wet finger in the wind method. There are many cities and counties developing their own minimum wage over thesehttps://www.laborlawcenter.com/state-minimum-wage-rates/One observation seems to be that some of the most highest taxed areas of the country are eager to push this up with a few exceptions of course. Part of this tells me that the corresponding government wants a piece of this-Smells like a mandatory tax increase without using the “t” word. Raising the minimum wage and “free” stuff appears to be the mantra to get “attention” now who in the gosh darn heck don’t like “free” stuff? Eyn’a? 😳. What the hell, i might as well propose free Marquette tickets to anyone who wants them
LOL. Hmm, so any climate scientists that already on record of their position before the study, sure hope it doesn't shade their findings.
Indeed it is embarrassing....because all you had to do was read this in the summary:
Will have to get back to you, still picking my chin off the floor after reading Jill Abramson’s bombshell today about The NY Times ( she was the former managing editor) media bias and the lack of credibility they have brought to journalism as a result of their approach. Refreshing.
She wrote that the NYT (which fired her) doesn't like Trump. That's a bombshell to you?Liberal rags like the National Review, The Economist and Weekly Standard (RIP) also dislike Trump.
That’s not what she wrote, she specifically got into their bias and their approach which is hurting their credibility.
He could cure cancer and they would bitch a fit about it or not Report it at all.
Hatred of man driving what they seem newsworthy is by default, not news. Very unfortunate, but that is where we are. He could cure cancer and they would bitch a fit about it or not Report it at all.He’s a contemptible person, but somewhere along the way some facts also have to accidentally make it into your news reporting. But hey, their choice as they continue to drive the entire industry’s trust into the ground. Fine by me....their colors were always bright to me and so many others, it’s something when their former managing editor comes out and states it publicly as if we didn’t know.All the news WE feel is fit to print and how WE decide it will be printed (if we decide at all)
What is this now about having to invent new things to be aggrieved about, in order to satisfy the need for a continually aggrieved mind state? Reality is no longer enough. I see and hear this kind of stuff constantly.
Either you guys don’t see it or don’t want to see it, but as I’ve said many times in the past, journalism is and has been dead for quite some time.
Either you guys don’t see it or don’t want to see it, but as I’ve said many times in the past, journalism is and has been dead for quite some time. It’s just more dead now than before. Bernard Goldberg has written a couple of books about it going back to 2001. He spent over 30 years working within the media, most specifically CBS. He has 14 emmys. Sharyl attkisson also worked for CBS for over 20 years, pretty much the same type of issues, different perspective. There are no standards of professionalism within journalism. It’s a free for all, kinda like art. If any of the other “professions” were monitored like journalism, we would be in A LOT of trouble.
If you believe this, why to do you lap up the statements from right-wing media like it is the nectar of the gods and regurgitate it without any critical thinking about its veracity?
Reality ceased to be an important thing on that side of the spectrum a long time ago. Now, whatever you want to believe is real IS real to them. I really don't know what the long-term cure is for those that invent their own facts and own "reality".
There are many who believe the same as I, many more than you would ever care to acknowledge. Are you afraid that some may believe different from you; or are they just “dumb”? My opinion? Many of the people who understand as I or variations there of, choose to remain anonymous or silent. They may fear for their own or their family’s safety, their jobs or they just accept things as they are. What control do we really have? Dismiss it as you will, but that doesn’t change things. Ultimately, in the grand scheme of things, it’s really small stuff
