The GOP has had a near strangle hold on the nation in that time, who fucking cares what the municipalities elected in "once great cities"? Did Philly's Mayor declare war in Vietnam? Did Baltimore's Mayor start the fucking drug war? Did Detroit's Mayor give the richest 2% a fucking tax break?
that is the craziest thing i ever read. workers WORK they dont "create wealth" labour extracts raw materials, works those materials into products and "middle class" jackoffs sell them. the "middle class" are now, and always have been merchants burghers, marketing assholes and service oriented entrepreneurs. Labour does not fall into any of these categories. Labour is Labour because thats all Labour has to sell, LABOUR! caling us the"workers" and arrtifically lumping labour with the middle class jackoffs who simply re-sell what labour produces is a falsehood. Labour doesnt create wealth labour creates the food, raw materials and products that the "middle class" sells to other assholes in the "middle class". the merchants and bankers "create wealth" through the illusion of transactional profit, currency manipulation, taxation and debt..
Open an organic/hydroponic gardening boutique. Branding is everything, and I'm sure those 16-oz bags of FreeBird will fly off the shelves. cn
Says Law is real but its application is often grossly overstated. It works in some distorted markets, medicine being the best example. The consumer does not decide how often they see the Dr or what drugs they take or what tests they get. Healthcare is an example of supply creating its own demand (and maybe that is part of the problem with healthcare). But in general, I agree that demand drives production because production minus sales equals waste.
You do realize that it was FDR's Supreme Court packing threat that led the Supreme Court to expand the commerce clause in Wickard V Filburn to allow the federal government to control and regulate almost everything. Wickard led directly to the drug war.The New Deal worked fine. People who were smart and contributed more to society became rich, everyone was doing ok.
my guess is he's listening to economic professors, not economists. You would think the very basic laws of supply and demand would be better understood on a commodities forum. The latest Nobel economist won because he proved Keynesian to be fairy tale stuff (as much proof as there can be in a soft science) so there is some hope.
so close to absolutely correct bro! just one minor thing, natural gas is a shitty way to power a car. methyl alcohol (wood alcohol) is the best way to power a car, it gives more power, and higher MPG, at cooler temps, with only CO2 and H2O as exhaust. spills evaporate and degrade in minutes and you can put out a methyl fire with plain water. Ethyl alcohol as a motor fuel was a retarded boondoggle, but Methyl does, has always and will forever work as expected.
Cities are parts of a whole, each with something different to offer the whole and made of distinct groups. Some have resources, some are located along routes and some inhabit strategic locations such as ports. Many of the most populated and developed metropolitan areas were nothing more than camps two centuries ago. Many cities become gentrified as demand for real estate rises and many stagnate within a year if the military moves away. Why did the Mayans leave their cities?
yes cities are part of the whole but I wouldn't treat your rotator cuff if you sprained an ankle even though they are both part of the whole. I also wouldn't blame your tennis elbow on sitting on the couch. If we can't be honest about why some of our major metropolises are flourishing and why other are floundering we'll never reach our potential. The people of Detroit have many excuses and point lots of fingers everywhere but the people of Detroit. Try to picture what Detroit would be like without those 1%ers the Fords and Illitches yet those type of people get blamed for the problems. There is no way the bus drivers, cops and firemen would be collecting 100k pensions without those families contributions.
I'm ok with amendments that make sense (such as the Bill of Rights), I'm even ok with getting rid of the amendments that no longer make sense if it should become necessary. Progress will always be the highest one can aspire to. Besides, I am glad he threatened to pack the Supreme Court. His opponents were a bunch of conspiring dick heads and if there is one thing that fucks up a fun party it is a bunch of conspiring dick heads. Fucking colonial neocon dick heads.
OK, anatomy analogy, then DC is the brain. Bad decisions lead to poor health in more than half of all health issues. It is a global economy.
so the schecter bros were colonial dickheads? FDR tried to pack the court so he could get his way, not because the tea party wears tricorn hats. dude, get a fucking calendar, the neocon movement started in the late 80's, FDR was president in the 40's! fuck whats wrong with you kids?
DC is the fundament of the anus of our country, not the brain.
North Carolina is absolutely the ass, and Fayetteville is the anus.
I'm OK with amendments too. There was no amendment to expand the commerce clause, it was simply legislated by the Supreme Court. Thanks for the drug war, FDR.
