    that is reality.... if it happens, history will repeat, learn from history

    this is not a black or white issue...

    when a large part of society no longer has hope and can barely afford rent... things gonna go downhill

    if jobs keep going overseas and people keep buying from overseas and automation replaces jobs, it's gonna get ugly

    like it or not, economies are like a house of cards, Russia's fell, so can ours

    Corporatism is destroying Capitalism

    Lol...Now I see the problem. You people think stats are facts.
    There are lies, damned lies, and then there are statistics.

    They think that hopeless people should just eat **** and die and not rock the boat. They know nothing about history.

    I get so tired of these claims the "the costs will be passed on"!

    There is no economist has no destification for that.

    Sellers always charge the highest prices than can all the time. If costs go down, tgere is no basis for the sellers to drop their sellists by a penny!

    Look at the substantial costs going down because of the Trump massive tax cuts to businesses!

    Did their selling prices go down? NO!

    Did workers get massive raises, or even tiny raises? Hardly!

    The OWNERS made huge raises, and tge corporations bought back shares, but that does nothing for regular workers or consuners.

    Its nothing but a bunch of excuses to send more trillions to offshore tax havens.

    No I'm speaking from facts. The statistics show the black on black murder rate is very high, especially when compared to murder by whites or police.

    Then those workers can become the job creators right? It’s so easy right? This is their chance to prove how easy it is. Plenty of people willing to work by the way.

    im 43 and retired military, starting a new career in wildlife ecology. My point is how you grow up has zero impact on where you end up. It’s never too late to do anything until you are dead. It’s just a matter of will.

    Democrat Party and their mainstream media made this a race issue.
    Can’t back track from it after your goons started toppling statues of Columbus, cancelling “Cops”, removing Gone with the Wind, and establishing “Autonomous Zone”.
    You, guys, own this 100%. And this happens to be an election year.
    Minnesota was in the verge of flipping red in 2016. I wouldn’t be surprised to see many blue states flipping red, as no moderate or swing voter approves this madness!

    yes, we were pretty damned poor growing up. I decided I wasn't going to stay that way, and made something of myself after leaving home. Anyone can do it. Or do you think poor people are stupid and incapable creatures? It sounds like you think poor people are inacapable of doing anything for themselves. How very elitist of you. Typical of the left.

    You must have had a HS diploma of GED or you couldn't have gotten into the service.

    Do I didn't ask you that why did you ask if I did? I asked you about PP and one of Sanger's founding goals.

    Why do you claim all those business are own by people on the right?

    Poverty and lack of education. A vicious circle.

    I was so hungry once I ate mustard, it was the only thing I had.

    I was homeless once for three weeks. I made myself a promise then that I would never again allow that. Since that episode my rent gets paid first then everything else gets sorted out.

    it affects blacks too, but it also affects whites - you're the ones that picked Trump, you own this. I expect Republicans will lose big in 2020, the country has had enough - course as far in debt as Trump has put us, not sure we can recover
