Unofficial Apolyton Predicts

[Giancarlo]

I think we both know that's a lie, you're far too insecure to not read what people say about you.



So not going to back up your 'liar' accusation then?

Has there ever been a time in your life where you could tell the truth and stop lying about what other people say? Or are you just perpetually full of ****?

[Giancarlo]

so what is the caring democrats' plan for those people who've fallen on hard times?



oh, i see.

The democrats and Obama have done a fine job bringing this nation back from the brink of depression. And the job growth has been quite substantial.

I can't just snap my fingers and bring back these outmoded and obsolete jobs. If people won't get retraining and adapt to newer jobs, then what else is there to do?

The angry white male demographic is increasingly irrelevant. Even in Texas. My concern is about winning and getting future generations. Not about placating to some who have deep rooted hatred of anything different. Most Trump supporters are more concerned about who uses the bathroom than actual issues. They also hate people who are brown. Many immigrants are becoming citizens. You see this everywhere. California is an example. Texas is coming up next as the next big example.

You called me a liar, I asked you to backup (or even explain) your frankly bizarre accusation and not only did you fail to do so, but now you're doubling down. I'm clearly not a liar, because as I accurately predicted you didn't put me on ignore. Please point out a single untruth I've said so far.

[Ming]

Wrong. Far better than you think.

Wrong... if she was, she would be up by a lot more.

[Giancarlo]

Wrong... if she was, she would be up by a lot more.

She is up by a healthy margin and making inroads in several states that were always thought of as a lock for republicans. Doing even better than Obama did.

You lied about what I said. Seriously grow the **** up. And now you are on my ignore list. I will not lower myself to your level.

You are thoroughly incapable of backing yourself up and you resort to insults. Not bizarre at all. Enjoy living in bizarro world and keep being full of ****. Maybe you should join the Trump campaign. I hear they are firing people... Don't count on getting paid though.

I quoted what you said, and clearly showed there was a section I didn't quote because I didn't see it was relevant. I think you should look up the meaning of the words lie, liar and lied. You seem to struggle with their proper use.

I'm happy in Team Bernie thanks.

omg becky what happened

[Proteus_MST]

this will be one of the great questions of our age. ultimately the solution must be some kind of universal basic income. unfortunately, the current 'solution' is to make semi-skilled/unskilled workers compete for scraps in increasingly demeaning conditions of employment, leaving them bouncing between insecure dead-end jobs and welfare. meanwhile, more third world immigrants arrive to drive down wages yet further. hence the rise of right-wing populism.

Yep ... basic income is also a hot discussed topic in both, germany and switzerland.
Actually switzerland even had a plebiscite about it, where it was rejected with a large majority, but only a small voter turnout.

But ultimately, I guess, it will be the best thing for the whole of society, if it can be financed (which is where the disputants are divided, although many think that it can be very well financed, considering that, with basic income, welfare and its whole bureaucratic waterhead (for determining who is eligible for welfare) could be dropped.
A much bigger problem may be, to afterwards fight the flood of economic immigrants, who surely will try to get into the country in order to also get money for doing nothing

The Hillary campaign timed the release of that decade old video perfectly. Their October surprise even bounced the wikileaks story to the backpage.

Even you have to admit that this is due more to the unsuitability of Trump and his downward spiral more than the glory that is Hillary's campaign.

I am for economic change and development, such as with aerospace and new technologies.

With these positive economic changes, some will be angry.

The other issue with manufacturing is automation.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/manufacturing-jobs-are-never-coming-back/

Even where these factories moved, jobs haven't come. Why? Automation.

Ben Casselman explains it quite well. These jobs are NEVER coming back. Ever.

Production is growing rapidly in the manufacturing sector, but the field employs even less people. Blame technology.

2010!

Take a graph from 1970 to today and see the trend being steeply down for decades. We aren't talking short term little blips here but big changes and that is what is pissing people off in small and medium sized towns. They have lost their economic base and their way of life is literally dying and that is why they are upset and willing to try anything. Yet idiots like you still regurgitate garbage about racism because you are to lazy to make an honest evaluation.

[Dinner]

Oh the irony..



"We care about you!!"
"Really? What have you done to make my life better?"
"Why are you so privileged and selfish!?! Minorities lives are much harder than yours!!"
"Erm ok, so if you don't represent my needs, why would I vote for you?"
"You're such ****ING RACISTS!!!!"

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Wow, Giancarlo, you think poor people are choosing to remain poor, that it's their fault they're poor? Frankly, that's racist.

Truthfully that is exactly what will happen. The welfare migrants who want a free ride will simply swamp the system unless you make it impossible for them to get access to the welfare banaza.

You wpuld have to make it like some of the gulf states who give away $50,000 a year to everyone but only if all of their ancestors were their before the 1930's when oil was discovered.
