What makes someone a “Conservative”?

[Marener]

You’re cherry-picking

My 13 pts show an overlap

MAGA’s concept of justice is pretty incompatible with typical conservatism.

That’s why the actual conservatives had to bail from the DoJ and it’s being largely being staffed by some real jokers.

I really don’t know
What I do know is that I paid $650 a year for my first three years and Republicans in NY cut back state aid and my tuition went up to $1050 my Senior year

Now that the Dems control NY, what is the tuition at your old school?

Get a second job. I'm 77 and still working.

You just proved my point

People need to get second jobs and work until 77

 

[Hollie]

With record profits, how is that destroying them?

What record profits?

How much more “free stuff” is the government required to supply? And who pays for the “free stuff”?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

This is why workers are struggling
Not because of DEI

Wages and salaries have more than doubled after inflation since the late 90s? SWEET!

They have not kept pace with inflation

Standard Conservative retort….Dont like it. Leave
But the entire economy has shifted to a supply side economy while worker protections have diminished

Untrue. Workers aren’t slaves. Market and skill set determine compensation

You can't read your own chart?

DOJ should not pursue Somali fraud?

You are quoting microeconomics solutions in a society controlled by macroeconomics

 

[Marener]

DOJ should not pursue Somali fraud?

Sure. Because the Somali are their political enemies.

But they won’t go after the fraud of their buddies, especially in the crypto currency realm.

Sure, both go after fraud for Somali, but the motivation is completely different.

 

[rightwinger]

DOJ should not pursue Somali fraud?

No they should pursue writing 86 47 in the sand

Well, DOGE has kicked 300,000 illegals off Social Security and over 100,000 illegals off Medicare. That's a start.

Wages have not kept pace with inflation
Corporate profits and executive pay have skyrocketed
Wages and benefits have been stagnant

Wages have not kept pace with inflation

"Wages and salaries" 200 in ~1997, over 400 in ~2020.

That's double, after adjusting for inflation.

Maybe post the link to your bad chart?

So why should anyone try to improve their value if it's meaningless?

"What about" ism is not really relevant.

I could care less what some silver-spooned, limp wristed idiot makes as a paycheck....what matters is what I make as a paycheck and its purchasing power.

Besides...
80% of all business failures are due to poor management.....meaning my boss was always going to become hilariously poor soon enough and it was gonna be all his fault.

And my paycheck shrunk ALL while I was getting a raise in pay because of Government overspending.

So cut the crap.....I don't need another gubbermint gimme program. I PERSONALLY cannot afford it. My paycheck has been cut more than what it says.

That chart is somewhat misleading....

Inflation does change and devalue workers salaries.

Corporate profits are not related to workers salaries. Corporate profits have more to do with international currency exchange rates, stock market rallies, and stock dumps than domestic workers salaries.

Give me a real life example of how a worker is a slave?

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Sure. Because the Somali are their political enemies.

But they won’t go after the fraud of their buddies, especially in the crypto currency realm.

Sure, both go after fraud for Somali, but the motivation is completely different.

Now you can read motivation? Interesting

I am learing a lot here
