Republicans: How Has Trump Made Your Life Better?

[Kirkrapine]

Does your being a minority in the American public at large keep you from standing up for your point of view?

Minority? Even though a near-majority of Americans self-ID as conservative, polling on any particular issue almost always shows a majority on the liberal side. E.g., Americans consistently want single-payer health care.

 

[Kirkrapine]

Are you kidding me?

Getting the U.S. out of the Paris climate "accord" (more accurately, the unconstitutional non-treaty) is a godsend for this country, its people and its economy.


The farce that is the Paris "accord" may have been the single stupidest thing this country ever did.​

How? I don't see any benefit accruing to us from pulling out of it, nor any harm from joining, and why for fuck's sake do you put scare-quotes around such an innocuous word as "accord"?! And how was it unconstitutional?!​

No PI lawyer lives in a bubble; it's a very hard, gritty, on-the-streets field of practice. In fact, the only lawyers who might live in a bubble are those whose work is purely intellectual, such as specialists in appellate practice.

How do you suppose personal injury lawyers fare in Cuba or Venezuela?

There is nothing "gritty" or "in the streets" about personal injury as a field. You do realize that even though they don't hire you, wealthy people have accidents, right? They even have slip and falls in 4 star hotels.

The only reason that you refer to it the way that you do is that you're slumming version of it puts you in contact with the very people that you think socialism would raise out of their life of poverty and crime.

Those neighborhoods would not improve at all with socialism. The only difference would be that they might have even more opportunities for indolence.

He just told you how. If it walks like a treaty and talks like a treaty it has to go through the treaty process. Not going through the treaty process is unconstitutional. If the God Emperor King had the authority to bind the American people then we would not need a treaty process.

I wouldn't expect a direct answer to any of your queries. tryfail does his best work when he's C&Ping from his pseudointellectual echo chamber, or blathering about his exercise routine.

Oh, look! Queef is White Knighting for tryfail, once again.

Not well in Cuba, I suppose -- no deep pockets.

You do realize that even though they don't hire you, wealthy people have accidents, right? They even have slip and falls in 4 star hotels.

Of course they do, but such cases are as rare as wealthy people themselves are; we can safely ignore them.

The only reason that you refer to it the way that you do is that you're slumming version of it puts you in contact with the very people that you think socialism would raise out of their life of poverty and crime.

I've never met a client who had any interest in socialism, and we never discuss politics with them, it's beside the point.

Those neighborhoods would not improve at all with socialism. The only difference would be that they might have even more opportunities for indolence.

That is not how it has worked out in Europe, so I see no reason to believe it would happen that way here.

And what's wrong with indolence anyway? Do we have some labor shortage? Work sux, therefore a society should be judged for, among other things, the number of people it allows to comfortably avoid it. There would be no work in Utopia.

Actually, yes we do have a labor shortage. Thanks Trump!

 

[Kirkrapine]

Once again, don't credit Trump with that.

Of course, the easiest way to meet a labor shortage is a liberal immigration policy.

You know exactly what you are incorrect about having admitted it earlier, and verified it by refusing to allow any poll results to confirm your errors. You are the perfect example of the village idiot, oblivious to the reality around you.

You claim you are correct yet are not open to allowing everyone decide by a poll.

There have already been at least three other posters who have supported my case, while none have supported your case. Quite the opposite they strongly disagreed with you.

You are an absolute dummy and not worth any more of my time. Go on, gloat in your fantasy mind.

you are a brain damaged fool. never once said i was correct about anything so there's nothing to prove me wrong about. and i acknowledged 3 posters- out of well over 100 responses. go claim an empty victory with your fellow numpties, numpty.

 

[schism666]

Actually, yes we do have a labor shortage. Thanks Trump!

what sector is experiencing the highest labor shortage in numbers?

 

[Kirkrapine]

He just told you how. If it walks like a treaty and talks like a treaty it has to go through the treaty process. Not going through the treaty process is unconstitutional. If the God Emperor King had the authority to bind the American people then we would not need a treaty process.

But, AIUI, it's not a legally binding treaty anyway, only a set of voluntary guidelines. Nothing unconstitutional about a president signing that sort of thing without the Senate voting on it. And yet, even that stuck in Donald's craw for some reason.

Looking for some career guidance? Do I look like the Bureau of Labor Statistics?

Off the top of my head I would assume skilled construction trades, machinists, trucking and Healthcare.

Some of that might be a little bit Arizona specific we're in the middle of a construction boom and we always have old people needing Health Care.

I read an article recently about shortages in retail but that would seem to me that's just a question of wages needing to rise.

There's a shortage of airline pilots but part of that is because starting wages are about $35,000 which seems fairly low to me for an occupation that cost 80000 to get into.
