Middle class will just be asked to contribute more.   If they work harder and a few more hours at their job per week, they can become billionaires too.

To be clear, my indifference extends to other government employee unions. Private sector unions need to be strengthened and their protections extended to more workers. It would also be nice of their members remembered which party wants them destroyed.

good. I was actually shocked when I saw that. When elon did it I was more... disappointed? I'm not sure that's the right word, but I guess a part of me had hoped the richest man in the world had not gone full nazi, as it appeared he had. when he confirmed it, i wasn't shocked. when I saw a man of the cloth do it. I was stunned. I'm not religious (recovering catholic) but holy shit, in what reality did that seem smart? just stunningly dumb

The Nazis were mostly Catholic and the church was okay with it.

Only about 1/3rd of the German population was Catholic.  This article from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum provides some factual background about the various religions in Germany and how they responded to the Nazis:

My long time for law partners husband was a captain in the New Orleans fire department, and he and his buddies are the Trumpy-est bitches you can possibly find.

They are a unique subset, admittedly, because their entire life is devoted to receiving benefits on the government tit in a socialist way, jumping on every perceived disability category and dollar they can find.  

But they will get angry and bemoan anyone else getting government benefits.   It is what it is.

Soooo... 91% Trumpy instead of 98%?    Until Utah elects 1 non-republican to national office, the entire state gets no sympathy when the leopards feast  (just like TX).

Just chiming in to say "defrocked" is a phenomenal word.  Sounds exactly like what it means, and honestly should replace "fired" as what they call it when you lose your job.

I’d like to imagine a bishop yanking his collar off in a scene reminiscent of this skit

but I’m afraid that the Catholic Church has a different interpretation of the phrase dishonorable discharge.

Yeah, I'm not sure joining a synagogue roster with anti-semitism on the rise is the best idea. 

I'd go with Mormon or Scientology or Methodist. The first two, folks will think you're a weirdo and leave you alone...maybe. And pretty sure Methodists are used to people not showing up, so...

This eliminates the first 2 choices. Fairly certain the Mormons check your 1040 to verify your tithe was at least 10%.

My goodness. Remember when Trump got on Truth social and said he was sending the military into California to turn the water back or whatever? 
I thought that was just some crazy talk. However, it seems to have had a grain of “Truth”, as it were.

It appears the Army Corps of Engineers was ordered by an appointee to drain full reservoirs into flooded farmland without telling anyone or coordinating anything, and sent farmers, local politicians and others into a scramble to stop it before it destroyed equipment and crops. 
 


For the record, Tulare County voted 60-40 for Trump.

Read that the Swiss government used to, and still might, automatically deduct a tithe from your paycheck. Which might explain why “no religion” was the largest denomination.

I'm not an economist or a foreign policy expert. But I imagine economic decline and disruption in Mexico will ... maybe incentivize border crossings. But that was never the point anyway.

I am not so sure. IIRC the best time in relatively recent Mexican history was from the 40s to the 70s when I believe they were running inside their own economic bubble. Maybe some uncouth Gringo flailings revive the almost religious pride in doing things that way, instead of the current "do backflips for money."

It is Mexico, and we are us, so given our mutual track record I expect to be disappointed.

That person ranks very high on the "What the fuck did you think was going to happen?" scale.  Did you not watch TV in the months leading up to the election and see the million Republican ads about the evil trans folk?

As a former Florida resident, I never had any use for Cuban Republicans.  They were always viewed by me as just another flavor of one issue voter idiot - who do not care about anything but making sure the people who stayed in Cuba have no access to trade or success and happiness in life.   

My Spanish teacher in high school was a former Cuban Supreme Court justice, and a more angry, emotional, vindictive Cunt was never birthed.   She always made it very clear that teaching us was beneath her.    I’m sure it made her very sad that she could no longer be bribed to throw cases in favor of the corrupt government and oligarchs.

I have, by and large, changed my tune on unions.

I remain somewhat skeptical of government employee unions.  Unlike the private sector, government is not really known for abusing employees, and there are other means that can be used to exert upward wage/benefit pressures.

I'm willing to entertain discussion on it.

Expand  

No offense, but while unions provide a mechanism to do those things, none of that is the primary utility of unions*. The utility of unions is to enable efficient price discovery for labor among non-management workers.
It isn’t good for the market on any level for capital (even public capital) to have the ability to collectively negotiate if labor does not. 

That’s not to say I necessarily think public sector unions are always good, just that the sellers of labor should be able to negotiate collectively as long as the buyers of labor can. Show me a bad union and I’ll show you bad management, and vice versa. Always.

This week I read an economic outlook paper from a large and widely respected investment firm about how they are thinking about allocation in 2025.  It suggested that a Trump admin might unleash economic growth and optimism based on what he said he would do from a regulatory and bureaucratic standpoint, but also speculated that Trump might not mean what he said he would do with tarrifs and besides, Biden didn’t roll back the last Trump tarrifs on China and that turned out OK, right? 

It’s awfully crowded at the hopium den these days.

Fair enough and I heartily agree that bad management is as or more responsible for problems with unions.

My neighbor is a union rep and his boss is Ethiopian and voted for Trump.  So not only did he not represent his membership well or lead them away from disaster, he potentially could be deported or lose his job because DEI, regardless of truth.  He's that damn stupid.  This country did get lazy and dumb--they had it so well that they forgot who they work for, past world wars and their civic duty.  The pursued a better, Christian America through a dumb as fuck mob boss.  Time for real pain to replace the imaginary. Oh well, leopards gotta eat.  And cheers, mom, you deserve the medicare and medicaid you voted for.
