You work where the jobs are. We've had 20 years of non stop outsourcing and layoff heavy mergers. Just because you happened to blunder into a steady job doesn't mean the rest have.
And then there's inflation. Raises stopped keeping pace with inflation in the 70s and stopped entirely in the mid 2000s. So even if you do have a stead job you're gonna have to leave it every 3-5 years to look for better paying work. Companies don't promote or train because they can just get an H1-B if they can't find somebody with the skills they want.
The GOP put poison pills in the ACA. You can't get on it if your employer offers healthcare, no matter how shitty the plan. Many states didn't expand Medicaid and go out of their way to keep folks off it. Unless your completely destitute you're not getting it. Nobody has pride when they're in need of a doctor. There's no nice way to say this, You're being an ass. I've had friends and family with severe illness and I speak from bitter experience. And this is _before_ Trump gutted the ACA as best he could the bastard.
Used cars break, constantly. If you've got the kind of job that doesn't pay you enough to buy a decent car it's probably the kind of job that will fire you for being late. Again, I speak from bitter experience.
Congrats, you and your family have avoided most of the bad stuff in the world and nobody around you that you care enough about has gotten gut punched by the American system such that you got dragged down with them. This is the problem with people. They don't understand a thing if it doesn't happen to them personally or maybe their immediate family. It's like all those country western singers that got shot up by that nut job in Las Vegas. They were all crazy pro gun until they experienced first hand what it's like to be shot at by a mad man and how utterly powerless you really are even when you're packing heat.
I wish we had that Grok thing from Stranger in a Strange land. That ability to make people _understand_. I doubt you made it this far into my comment but if you did I've probably just pissed you off and made you double down in your misconceptions. If I knew how to get through to guys like you I'd be president and I'd fix this shit fast.
so it's possible she won't. I'm not sure I could blame her if she did sell out, but assuming she doesn't she's going to be untouchable. Assuming they don't redraw her district, but that'll be hard to do. Gerrymandering means making a few safe districts for Dems so you can make more safe districts for the GOP.
and you're missing my point. She's using the same playbook but for different ends. She's using New Media (Twitter, Youtube, etc) to by pass the media filter and get her message out. It works for her because she's cute and charismatic. Trump pulled it off with Celebrity, but same thing. And she doesn't back down or apologize for gaffs. That's key. Voters are like sharks in a pool, they smell blood they're on you in a second.
Politics has changed and she changed with it. That's why they're scared shitless of her.
And Trump is not a centrists, he's an opportunist. He has no actually political beliefs whatsoever. He's taken virtually every position possible but when it came time to put policy in action everything he did was to benefit him and his. He's a Kleptocrat.
an advanced degree. Otherwise they won't have you. If sick folks could move to Canada they'd have around 29 million US Healthcare refugees (based on the number of uninsured).
My personal favorite example of cluelessness was when Sarah Palin (a right wing American politician who champions the Free Market), in an effort to show people how poor she was talked about how she couldn't afford medical care for her kids and had to take them across the border into Canada.
And by all accounts the story worked with her base. None of them saw the hypocrisy with using socialized medicine for yourself and fighting tooth and nail to keep it from happening in your home country. A few in he far left press (Vox, Motherjones) called her out, that was it. That's what we're up against over here.
they did the same with Hilary. Not that she didn't have plenty of good reasons to hate her, but the good reasons were things like "she'll sell us out to mega corporations" and "She supports TPP and outsourcing".
You're not allowed to talk about those kind of things; they're profitable business. So you're stuck with trying to instill a general sense of dread.
With AOC it's harder because she doesn't really have any dirt. She's a pretty girl, meaning they probably can find anyone she sexually harassed. She's from a basic, middle class family so they won't find corruption. And so far she knows better than to apologize for anything (Liz Warren shoulda told everybody, including the Cherokees, to go fuck themselves on the Indian thing. Apologizing is never good in politics, Trump taught us that).
Speaking of Trump, AOC has the potential to be the left wing Trump: Somebody who nothing sticks to and who can bypass traditional media and go directly to the voters. With the main difference being that when she says Drain the Swamp see seems to mean it. If you're a billionaire who doesn't like paying taxes you'll spend some time trying to bury her before that happens.
I didn't make it through college. A bad up bringing left me with sever self esteem issues I didn't clear up until around 2005. Then a couple family members got sick and I spent the next 3 years dealing with that. Then the entire US economy crashed and I was dealing with that. Now I'm old and my career has peeked. Why hire me in my 40s w/o a degree when you can have an H1-B in their 20s that can pull 70 hour work weeks for less pay?
both misuse of collected data and privacy violations are symptoms of large problems with wealth inequality. Folks aren't mining your data and invading your privacy for fun (outside of 4chaners and internet trolls), they're doing it so they can monopolize everything and get away with it.
Basically, I've got bigger fish to fry. I lack consistent access to healthcare, I can't pay for my kid's education (and it's fucked up I have to pay for it given that she's gonna use that education to spend the next 50 years working her ass off), my wages are about 20% less than they were before the 2008 market crash and the powers that be like it that way and are busy gearing up for the next recession. These are the problems that keep me up at night, not Facebook figuring out that I like Transformers more than GI Joe.
poor people do not commit the bulk of the crime Companies do.
We lose orders of magnitude more to white collar crime then we do some punk taking the stereo out of your car, and violent crime is at historic lows. Meanwhile that "Tough on crime" bullshit your parroting gave us the Drug War and Civil Asset forfeitures. Oh, and while you were busy worrying a punk with an untreated drug problem stealing a few bucks from the till somewhere Wall Street deregulation crashed the economy multiple times, lowering your wages by tens of thousands of dollars a year.
and enforce minimum wages. Make minimum wage $15/hr and adjust for real inflation (e.g. inflation on the stuff somebody making $15/hr is likely to buy, yes, yachts are cheaper than ever, 80/20 hamburger isn't) so you can be sure the person serving you can at least afford rent and food.
to schools. In America schools are funded at the local level by property taxes. That means that unless the feds step in to make up the difference you get really really rich schools and really really poor ones. This is how we can spend more on average than the rest of the world but with worse outcomes. We're putting all our eggs in one basket (the rich kid's one). But Herd Immunity doesn't give a rats ass how much money your mom and dad have.
The reason for means tested social programs is that a) you make it harder to get and therefor lower potential taxes to the rich and b) it puts the poor and working class in an antagonistic position where the poor get something the working class does not (and at least partially pays for).
even the drugs they take are to cope with mental illness.
In most societies just putting a roof over your head isn't much of a battle. Even during the 2008 market crash folks kicked out of their houses by banks didn't stay homeless for long. Assuming your brain doesn't go you'd get back on your feet in about a month tops.
Homeless people don't "prefer the lifestyle". That's something the media tells you to alleviate guilt over not paying to eliminate homelessness. Nobody chooses to live without shelter. The elements take a huge toll on the human body. You can look at just about any long term homeless person and see that. But if you're not all there in mind and body good luck holding down a job.
You're right about one thing, you can't give a mentally disturbed person money and expect them to manage it. This is why we used to have insane asylums. Reagan shut them down, which is where the modern homeless crisis came from. He used the fact that they were not nice places as an excuse (along with talk like your post about "they prefer it this way"). The right thing to do would be to remove the problems and abuses, but America's all about throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Especially if you have to raise tax dollars to pay for that baby.
that's still not very much. You don't hire an entire team for something like this. You host it on a third party service that hosts other publicly available sites and so your costs are mixed in with theirs. They're public documents so it's not like it needs a lot of extra work/security. You could have an Intern do the whole thing.
The only time you'd incur any serious cost for people is if you want to make a pork project out of it. I'm not opposed to that (it's what we do with our Military) but that's not really a cost, you're spending money to spend money.
the idea is they detect when you're angry and move you along to a rep faster. Yes, this means for savvy folks they call in already angry, but honestly if you're savvy and being forced into an IVR you're probably already angry anyway since you're calling for a rep to do something you couldn't do online.
that's the point. This is how politicians get things done when it's not just something you do for wealthy donors. You have to go to the public and get them onboard. That means you have to get a discussion started. Either that or you have to find a source of bribes bigger than the opposition (oil companies in this case).
a. She acknowledges that fossil fuels aren't going away in 10 years, the point is to _try_. You'll get closer to the result if you actually try.
b. Cow farts aren't fossil fuels, but OTOH there's been studies that show relatively small changes in their feed could fix the farting problem.
c. The only thing keeping this from happening is oil and gas companies who don't want the assets they own devalued. I almost can't blame them, but again, if 97% of scientists are to be believed we really are talking about an extinction level event here. No, we're not gonna wipe out all life on the planet, just us humans.
How many folks thought it was physically impossible to land on the moon? The only reason we did that was to show off to the Soviets. Pity we can't tie this to war and the Military Industrial Complex somehow. That seems to be the only way we get shit done around here...
At any rate, if it cannot and willnot be done then we're all gonna die. And like like Bart and Lisa said "I meant soon"... "So did I".
maybe you are. Congrats. Wages are down 1.3%. That's a fact, google it.
And "Stop fighting and shit down and shut up" is easy for you to say if you're one of the very few Americans in good shape. The rest of us who never recovered after 2008 and are bracing for the next (utterly pointless) recession would like very much for somebody to fight for us instead of rolling over at the first sign of adversity.
I couldn't care less if Trump loses to another right wing, Clinton Style Democrat. What the actual fuck is the point of electing a Democrat who's going to do the exact same things Trump is going to do but say nice things while he/she does them? I want positive change (note: _positive_ change, not just change for it's own sake, which usually translates into more wars and tax cuts for billionaires).
If the Dems want to win _meaningful_ victories she's the future of the party. But hey, you got yours, fuck me, right?
I'm getting real tired of having to say this on a bloody science forum, but here we go again:
Mao and Stalin are not, were not and never were socialists. They were fascists who used socialist rhetoric to confuse and control a financially desperate working class.
Fascism is the combination of State, Private Industry and Military under one roof. This is what Mao and Stalin did.
Socialism is an economic philosophy that states all people are owed a decent quality of life. It does not involve the military, that is kept apart and most variants leave non essential services and the "last mile" delivery of goods and services to private industry. This is what AOC & Bernie are: Democratic Socialists.
They're not the same thing, not even remotely.
When did I say I was smart? I'm as dumb as a blade of grass. I just happen to have people smarter than me open my eyes. Youtube helps a lot with that. Go look up Robert Reich, Secular Talk, Professor Stick, Genetic Skeptic and Beau of the Fifth Column for a start. Cult of Dusty too. Get some media in your head besides the right wing crap like CNN, MSNBC and Fox News (yes, MSNBC is right wing, pay attention to their economic ideas and coverage, not just their social issue stances).
32,000+ people will die of completely treatable diseases this year. That's actually _down_ from 45k. We're gonna spend an extra $5 trillion on healthcare over the next 10 years vs single payer that every civilized nation in the world has. And don't get me started on Medical Bankruptcies. A recession is coming and we're all deer in the headlights over it instead of talking about how to prevent it. Crap like this, and the people on Youtube and the Internet that made me aware of it, is what changed me. I didn't figure this crap out on my own, and neither will you. Get out there and look.
I asked this elsewhere in the thread, but like I said, gaffs are gaffs. People make them. Hers are magnified by a powerful right wing press desperate to shut down talks of higher taxes on the wealthy (their bosses) and higher wages for workers (their bosses employees).
You should be more suspicious of the constant bad press. I watched a CNN anchor spend 15 minutes with her fishing for negative soundbites. You shoulda seen the look of frustration on his face when she was too smart to give him one. She knows what she's doing and she knows how the game is played. She's not 100%, but unless the right wing can find something that sticks hard she's going to usher in the next New Deal.
And we _need_ a New New Deal. I don't know about you but inflation is higher than any pay raise I've seen in my lifetime. I've got a few promotions that just barely kept my head above water but I'm honest enough to admit I'm probably at the apex of my career. And those promotions mighta brought a bit of cash for me but they brought a _ton_ of cash for my company. Meanwhile I've got unreliable access to healthcare for my family and I'm paying $16k/yr in tuition for a bloody public University for my kid. That's because we cut funding to schools to cut taxes, btw. Google "538 tuition" and read their (well researched) article on the subject.
The rich are fighting a class war and the working class isn't just losing, they're not even bothering to fight. AOC is fighting, so you've had a multi-billion dollar engine dog pile not just on her but on _you_ to get you to turn against her. You're being manipulated by propaganda my friend. Ask yourself, are you better off than you were 4 years ago? 8? 10? Statistically the answer is no. Even if you are, the other's reading this are not.
besides a few gaffs of the sort politicians, especially new ones, are wont to do? Or do you just not like her for some reason, because that's the vibe I get from unsubstantiated insults.
I mean, you could at least go google some of the right wing talking points already prepared for you and copypasta them here.
would be my concern. Not sure about the top end but the rx 580 8gb seems to draw about 100 watts more than a GTX 1060 6gb. Across a year of gaming that adds up. If you're a kid not paying for the electricity go for it, but if not then the 580 needs to be cheaper or have better game bundles to offset the cost.
Slashdot Mirror
he makes fewer gaffs due to experience so he seems more thoughtful. That is. Nothing more, nothing less.

besides a few gaffs of the sort politicians, especially new ones, are wont to do? Or do you just not like her for some reason, because that's the vibe I get from unsubstantiated insults.
I mean, you could at least go google some of the right wing talking points already prepared for you and copypasta them here.
would be my concern. Not sure about the top end but the rx 580 8gb seems to draw about 100 watts more than a GTX 1060 6gb. Across a year of gaming that adds up. If you're a kid not paying for the electricity go for it, but if not then the 580 needs to be cheaper or have better game bundles to offset the cost.
