Julian Castro: Women Can't Afford Tampons So They Can't Go To Work

[candycorn]

This is Peak 2019 Feminism....I hope. Used to be that we could have female biological processes and still work, see. Then we became snowflakes and women call off work for cramps and yadda yadda.

But now we can't budget for $5.00 of feminine products a month or whatever it might be generic. Heaven forfend that women figure this out, be accountable, etc.

That's too difficult. Better to whine and complain that you can't go to work or school.

If another World War comes, we're doomed. An army of snowflakes will get nothing done. Maybe this was the plan, I don't know.

Every day, people are forced to choose between going to school or work, or staying home because they can’t afford the menstrual products they need. Pads, tampons and cups should be available tax-free, across the nation. #NationalPeriodDay

are all conservatives so afraid of honesty that they can’t accurately quote liberals?

Apparently you never heard of the Carter Depression and steel collapse. Or black people rioting and burning the Ghettos through the 1960's. Or sky high inflation, and tremendous lines just to buy gasoline. Or the crime in the streets at record levels.

Believe me, life was no jar of pickles when I was a young man at all.

I was a young man during that time as well.. and What I remember was that my Dad had a good union job and could buy vacation property in Wisconsin.

Yes, the 1970's were bad... but the reaction to it was worse. Sky High Inflation? Let's destroy the middle class, then those peasants will be happy with what they have!

What are you talking about? People were falling behind economically and there was no indexing as they were moving into higher tax brackets due to raises that inflation gave them. Reagan gave the middle class a 23% tax reduction over three years and and it helped. Not everyone was privileged like you and the good union job. And there were unions where pay was not as good. The 1970's were gloomy. As the final tie to gold was ended and the massive social welfare state and a culture based on quotas took hold. We went from a physical infrastructure to a human infrastructure nation. Add the bills of LBJ coming due and the growth of the fiat currency for the now social welfare state we have and this is where we are at. The oldest generation that retired by the 1980's caused medical to rise big time. And it has not stopped. Social Security and Medicare rose in massive tax increases in the 1980's and will need another one soon enough. The promises of social security lasting or staying solvent until the mid 2070's was another lie.

You claim to be a woman living in the USA and yet you don't know the cost of Tampons? Another Russian poster is unmasked.

And how many decades ago was it that you still needed tampons?

Sweet Sue has no idea what it's like to be really poor.

The poorest person in America lives better than the vast majority of the rest of the world

That is complete bullshit. It’s just something you dumbasses pretend to he true because it gives you the warm and fuzzies about A’murica. The poor and middle class in Western Europe, Australia, South Korea, Japan and Canada function better than we do.

Just not true. This Italian gentleman I knew who passed on, served in the US Army in France.

The people over there are very poor, and living in destitution.

It's the fact, undisputed, that your redistribution system only creates wealth for the political leadership. Are you a political leader in the Socialist democrat movement?

Where was this fact proven?

Here's the thing. We had it right for a while.

After the New Deal, but before Reagan, we had it right. The rich paid confiscatory taxes, when they died, their heirs did not inherit all of their wealth, just some of it. 33% of workers belong to unions and fair wages were the norm. During this time, we built fantastic infrastructure projects, we had an economy that was the envy of the world, we had a real, honest to God functioning middle class.

And then the Republicans fucked it all up.

Damn Joe! I agree with much of that. I guess you learned a little from your third grade education.

However the Ds aren’t blameless, as you think. They had much to do with income inequality. Your two Messiahs, Ears and Clintons, were all about enriching the rich and themselves.

It odd but not surprising that those who extol the virtues of the "Union Age" (1945- 1970) invariably fail to note that the only industrial show in town was the US. The rest of the industrialized world lay in post WW2 rubble. Way to go, guys.

Like I said earlier. Those big union days were a bubble, and all bubbles burst. It couldn't' last forever, especially with foreign products entering the market, and a huge change in American consumer spending.

I can't tell you how many customers we lost years ago because companies either moved out of the state or out of the country primarily to get away from the unions. Unions were more than just protecting workers, they virtually took over entire businesses.

They told the company who they could hire and who they could fire. They told the company who they can promote and who they couldn't, even if the employee couldn't actually do the job. They told the company how much they have to pay the worker even if the worker wasn't worth half of his or her salary.

One of our last few union customers got rid of their union a little over a year ago. What pissed the workers off was a worthless employee getting a promotion to the highest paid job in the plant. He had the highest seniority and the union told the company he's the one that gets the job.

Well the owner of the company had to do the job instead, because the guy who got the promotion couldn't do the job. That's when the employees decided to take action.

They voted the union out, and the company decided who got that highest paying job based on ability to do it, and of course, years with the company. They fired about three people who were always worthless and never produced any real work, but they always had a job as long as they showed up and were breathing.

I truly am amazed at how inept the left believe women and blacks really are. There’s nothing more elitist then a have telling a have not the have not’s life experiences. Such condescending folks they really are.

How many black presidents in the Republican party as of now?

Why does it matter? Was there promises made there’d be one?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Why does an angel mom get more consideration than someone who was shot or killed by a citizen with a gun or is shitty at driving?

Because the death an Angle mom suffered could have been prevented, and the other deaths not. I don't know if the next murderer is down the street from me or two cities away. You can't prevent people doing bad things. However if we kept these immigrants out of this country the way it should be, no American would have to suffer a death in the family because of some worthless foreigner.

Angle Mom's support farms, because you could say they are pro-tractor!

I love your useless stories. Always propping up conservative dogma even when the facts don’t support your tall tales.

Once the union movement was quashed, wages for working American stagnated. Companies promised wages would go up once the unions were gone. It never happened. Workers are still waiting for those raises.

Once the union movement was quashed, wages for working American stagnated. Companies promised wages would go up once the unions were gone. It never happened. Workers are still waiting for those raises.

So what companies made such a promise? I don't recall one.

What happened throughout the years was that when our workers made one dollar more an hour, overseas, they made three cents more an hour. When our wages raised another dollar, they raised their wages two cents an hour.

Eventually, unions priced us out of the world market.

With that competition and along with improving and greatly decreasing costs for automation, companies are looking for every way possible to cut costs to compete worldwide. That means less jobs for Americans.

We had to get rid of the unions. We had no choice, because American consumers refused to support those good jobs. That's why Walmart is number one, and Amazon is quickly taking the lead in selling consumer products.

Years ago, when you purchase gasoline, an attendant came out, filled your car, washed the windows, checked the oil and tire pressure, and you paid without getting out of your car. Then somebody had a thought: what if they allowed people to pump their own gasoline at a discounted rate??? It would keep the mechanics working on cars instead of losing money pumping gasoline.

It started out on one island. But because of demand, owners had to have two self-serve islands. Long story short, all gasoline stations in the US had to go to totally self-serve.

Did we put a lot of people out of work? Yes we did, but we saved money in the process.

Eventually, gas stations also got rid of the mechanics and service bays, and reconstructed their stations into convenience stores.

Need a fainting couch? That's all modern "feminists" are good for these days....fainting from all the self-induced outrage. Because yeah. If you have a job and yet cannot afford $5.00 for monthly feminine products, to the point you have to STAY HOME FROM WORK, you need to make some life changes.

Or wait you can do the Leftist Feminist thing. Stay home and whine about it.
