Whatever happened to normal people
Click to expand...

Marginalized; normal people kept wandering off the dem reservation because there isn't anything there for them. Dems have to pull the desperate disparates into the tent and pretend to love and cherish them ... for votes. According to dems anyone (read normal people) opposing them or their flock are domestic terrorists or at least anti-democratic fanatics.

This wouldn’t be on Pete it would be on the Sec of Labor who is just as incompetent as ‘ol Petey boy. It will be interesting to see what a lame duck congress does.

Congress will, cry, whimper, wring hands, and do nothing just like the rest of the government. Note that this is a strike by solidified unions against individual rail companies. A horizontal monopoly, if you will, or four (at least) horizontal monopolies working as a vertical monopoly - and not one word about monopolistic behavior or the Sherman Antitrust Act which forbids collusion among businesses. Nobody seems to recognize that labor unions are businesses selling labor. The other part is the rail unions will be supported by non rail unions. Imagine what will happen if Teamsters and Longshoremen (among others) really join in. This is the very behavior that has priced US labor out of competition and sent US jobs to places like China.

That will get interesting for sure

Probably not all that interesting... Everything favors the company. We just had a 98% positive strike vote, but the government doesn't want little Jimmy to not get to see Mickey Mouse. Hopefully they will release us to self help, but I'm not optimistic.

IMO airline pilots have a pretty good deal, what are the issues y’all would strike over?

And furthermore, if those idiots try to instill a national mask mandate, I'd fully expect there to be a significant amount of civil disobedience as well as a bunch of "**** right off's" from quite a few states.

You would hope but as we see from this board. There would be plenty that would quickly fall in line like the sheep they long to be to have daddy govment controlling every part of their lives.

I was gonna reply to his post but figured it was a waste of time. You are not however. So look at what that plot is saying, that isht the flex people think it is. The 21st root of 2.0 is only 1.033 or 3.3% inflation. The 21st root of 1.6 for the average increase of 60% of those 21 years is 1.023 or the FED target of 2% inflation. If anything that chart says the FED has done a decent job of keeping inflation at target over the long term before the recent short term massive spike.

That chart doesn’t show rampant cost increases over the last 21 years. If anything it shows the Fed does a pretty good job of keeping their mandate.

Yes inflation is rampant and needs to be curbed. That chart doesn’t show it though. Plus look at the cost of home and personal technology and cars over the same period of time. A clear takeaway there is buying power has increased as wages have slightly exceeded average cost increases while technology is keeping prices constant on things like TV’s and cars. I’m not sure I agree on cars but that is what that chart shows.

Housing and Food look to be BS to me. Where is the 2 year spike?
