Our President, who has a very good brain, will be paying farmers who have been hurt by his tariffs by giving them money that's borrowed from very same countries he levied tariffs against.
That is some 39-dimensional chess shit right there.
You're not looking at the statistics you cite. In every example so far, house prices in cities have gone up faster than in suburbs. In every case.
Your citations are proving my point.
Also, all the population and demographic numbers you cite are from 2010. That was the last census. If you look at all the more recent data, you will see the word "estimate".
I support free castration for anyone who uses the word "free" to describe shit which they want to force me to pay for.
The rule of thumb is that anytime you see someone complaining about "paying for free stuff for other people", they're always someone who got a lot of free stuff growing up.
They update the census data every two years with estrimated data.
Read it can weep retard [census.gov]
Wait, can you really not see that even the slim data you have cited supports my thesis that wealthy are moving back to cities and poorer people are moving to suburbs?
And really, Buffalo, New York? You believe that a small dead industrial town of a few hundred thousand is representative of urban America?
When the rich move out of the city, it is called "White flight", which is bad. When the rich move into the city, it is called "Gentrification", which is bad.
I think you may be close to a breakthrough, buddy. You should consider the possibility that rich people are just bad.
until the high income parents realize that their kids are being used by the system in dumbed down classes, and not being appropriately educated for their own sake, and then they will pack up and move to the suburbs.
You have that backwards. Things have changed since the '80s, Bill. Now it's poor people who move to the suburbs and the rich people move back into the city.
Our low-energy dictator is making North Korea great again. Brutal regimes are making a big comeback under the peach-faced cuntmuffin we have as president.
Two San Francisco supervisors suggested this. There are eleven city supervisors. The summary makes it sound like this is definitely happening.
Everybody hold your water. It's just some harebrained idea that two politicians raised to placate businesses they represent. I doubt it will really happen.
Well, you just gave yourself all the answer you need. History is taught by the victors.
The oligarchs are the victors. They're the ones teaching you that "free markets" and "less regulation" are a good thing. You have been lied to.
I'm guessing you're on the young side. It probably hasn't been that many years since you read Ayn Rand and thought she was profound. You have been well-indoctrinated by the people with the power and wealth. A day will come when you question what you've been told. Whether you decide to find answers to those questions or stay in your stall in the slaughter house is entirely up to you.
Fuck all this regulation. The best way for a democracy to work is to have a free market of ideas.
Nonsense. "Free markets" don't exist, first of all, and unencumbered commercial behavior is anathema to democracy.
Why undo the revolutionary war?
The revolutionary war was not about democracy, it was about exchanging one aristocracy for another. The Founding Fathers were very careful to limit the democratic impulses of Americans and make sure that the wealthy elite, who they believed know better than everyone else, could rule without being encumbered by democracy.
Don't you want the freedom to decide who you want to believe rather than have someone make the choice for you?
Did you grow up somewhere that history is not taught?
I'm guessing that if this is all legal hunting then how is that relevant?
Solar power plants are also legal.
You just thought that nuclear power is so great that to make your point you had to turn a discussion of solar power into pearl-clutching over dead birds.
We can revisit this discussion when nuclear power doesn't need government subsidies to exist. It's been around like half a century, and it still requires government support. You would think a mature world-saving technology wouldn't need government support OR you trying to hijack discussions of solar power with FUD.
Let's scale that up to the 100GW that nuclear power provides in the USA.
100GW / 400MW * 6000 = 1.5 million
That's still fewer than the number of birds killed by Texas hunters every year.
Can you please stop pretending you care about birds? You embarrass yourself. It is possible for you to say that you don't believe there should be any solar energy used in the US, and only nuclear plants should be built and subsidized by the government without having to make up some big narrative about saving the lives of birds.
If you loved birds, you would hate hunting, and my guess is you're one of these brave militia types who believe that the tree of liberty has to be watered with the blood of innocent animals. Or something. For liberty. So don't play. Peddle your FUD elsewhere.
That's fewer than 1% of the birds killed by hunters in Texas every single day. And just about the same as the number of birds killed by airplanes every month in North America.
Don't be a dope. And please, don't pretend you give one blessed fuck about birds getting killed when all you want is to spread FUD about solar energy.
Perhaps the system should be defunded when instead of teaching math, science, reading comprehension and critical thinking skills it reverts to 72 genders, a child's feelings must never be hurt (thus no grades), and general narcissism.
Just two comments upthread you were talking about how "propaganda is better than truth" and here you are reciting a stream of falsehoods based purely on propaganda.
Slashdot readers, pay attention. Train0987 is an object lesson in how propaganda created Trump voters. You're going to have to clearly understand this if we're going to be able to move forward as a society.
It wasn't that long ago that such word of mouth was the only way to get any news.
At least when you get news via "word of mouth" you see whose mouth it's coming out of, and you know who to blame when it turns out to be bullshit.
That is in contrast to those who get their news from 4chan or reddit or Cambridge Analytica.
The internet as it exists today is literally a psyops machine. And it's a machine that collects information on you and knows exactly what BS you are inclined to believe.

BINGO! And when does demand increase? When more people want something.
Here in the United States, we have apparently found enough of "other people's money" to give new welfare for farmers.

I hereby declare you stupid.
Better look again. Census data is about a decade out of date. Look at demographic data and housing prices in cities.
I think you may be close to a breakthrough, buddy. You should consider the possibility that rich people are just bad.
You have that backwards. Things have changed since the '80s, Bill. Now it's poor people who move to the suburbs and the rich people move back into the city.
Yes.
"Uncounted trillions"? Maybe more money should have been spent teaching you numbers and counting.
Does your definition of "basket weaving subjects" include Economics? If not, then you're just being cranky.
If you really cared about a solution, you'd support free higher education like in civilized countries.
He was later quoted as saying, "I gouged out my granpappy's eyes to own the libs."

Man, that is some choice Orwell "lies are truth" shit right there.
It's how people like you are made to believe that Trump didn't say something he literally said on camera an hour ago.

Ah, 2000. That was before Americans outsourced their election fraud to Russia.
