  1. They could even do it as a group, and threaten to walk.

    That is the literal definition of a union.

  2. When you lose any motivation to work hard

    That has nothing to do with union status, and everything to do with your personal character.

    How to lie with statistics.

    Nonsense.

    There is a difference between being "out of work" and "out of the job market".

    You can only hit your number if you include children, students, and retirees.

    you've been educated about this before, about how including it in your name doesn't mean you actually are one (a turkey can call itself a duck, but that doesn't mean it is one). at this point your ignorance is willful blindness.

  6. it was an outrageous thing to do and far worse than DoJ is even suspected of doing in the case being discussed today.

    Yeds...enforcing the law they are tasked with enforcing is an absolutely outrageous thing to do.

    how dare they to ensure only non-partisan groups apply for the non-partisan 501c tax exempt status, and that partisan groups apply for the proper, separate, 501d tax exempt status.

    what were they thinking?

    you have that exactly backwards.
    they don't work harder for less money.

    GDP is an indicator of productivity, not economic well being or standard of living.
    their GDP per capita is lower, but their purchasing power is higher, which offsets that.
    their standard of living at a given wage level is the same or higher than the US.
    they have better pay, benefits, time off, and health, etc.

    rather, to achieve the german level of living, we have to earn more in the US precisely because we don't enjoy those same benefits.

    once PPP is accounted for that difference in GDP per capita is less of a downside. IE, their purchasing power parity level means they can achieve a similar standard of living at a lower wage. plus their are other upsides to their system that also offsets the lower GDP (better health, better economic stability and mobility, etc)..

    who modded this bullshit insightful?

  20. nice try telling us what we think, but in reality actually liberals do care about obama's failed promises.

    lets note though that things like closing Gitmo he couldnt actually unilaterally do, and in fact congress blocked several of the potential pathways to do so.
    which means it isnt so much that he lied, but was prevented by the GOP congress.

    others were horse traded in the name of concessions for other accomplishments, disappointing, but a reality of politicking. but that doesnt mean we didnt care or are creating a double standard.

    also, it should be noted that NONE OF THIS applies to trump (again: thus no double standard).

    he said, verbatim, "I will be too busy to Golf".
    he has now golfed more than any of hte previous 3 presidents at this point in their terms.

    he said quote "i will drain the swamp", refering to lobbyists and corporate regulatory capture.
    quite obviously, he only made the swamp deeper ("obama did it too" .... to an extent...but the point is he didnt promise to do the exact opposite).

    That's what makes them lies.

    no, the only double standards here, and there's a few, all come from you and your ilk.
    chief among them being that you refuse to live in reality.
