YES! No evictions!! How we benefit from Bidens move

[Donald H]

The wealthy have always run things throughout history. It's the same in Canada. Silly polls on subjective opinions are just that. Sadly, the US isn't far behind you in jailing people for speaking unapproved words.

These are the freedoms that America has lost:

• A good job market
• Affordability
• Economic stability
• Family friendly
• Income equality
• Politically stable
• Safety
• Well-developed public health system
• Well-developed public education system

The loss of every one of them has been commented on and complained about by Americans on this board.

As for jailing people? The US leads the world on incarceration rates. That relates to the lacks of 'safety', 'family friendly', and 'income equality'.

You're still expected to pretend that you have 'freedom'. The very wealthy has to uphold that belief in the people, or it will lose control over government.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

And excuses blamed on China are worth discussion too.
Your country was a fukking mess when it turned to Trump out of desperation. America's working class are rising up and are beginning to demand a piece of the pie.

Americans like you need to understand that the needs of the people crosses political boundaries. Neither party is likely to be able to break the hold of the very wealthy. For Trump that would be a direct contradiction of his values. And with Biden, it's doubtful that he ever really cared for the people as much as he cared for keeping his own ass in power.

Your obsession with the wealthy is sickening already. You know, if we could take all our poor and criminal people from our country, fly them to an island somewhere, nobody would miss them. In fact, our country would be much better. Take all our wealthy and fly them off to an island somewhere, our country collapses.

Trump had this country running top notch. He made great improvements on our border, we had a million more jobs than Americans who could possibly work them, women and every minority group had the lowest unemployment since records were kept, we hit a new median household income high, several stock market highs, and reasonable fuel prices all along. Even with covid, Trump made sure Americans came first when the vaccines were approved signing contracts with 8 potential vaccine vendors for the first 100 million doses with a rider of an additional 500 million more on demand. We had the least GDP damage of all G7 countries outside of China, and that's only if you trust their reporting.

Uh oh Donald you aren't supposed to discuss classes because that's divisive....much sarcasm here.

 

[task0778]

So, it's totally okay to sign a

Republicans always say follow the law and play within the rules, and use the market to achieve personal gain

What personal gain is achieved from preventing evictions, I don't see that. And when have the republicans not followed the law and not played by the rules? The democrats did it when they ignored a Supreme Court ruling that said the CDC has no authority to make any rules about evictions, but the Biden Admin got them to do it anyway.

The only personal gain I see is renters and home owners not paying their bills or debts, and I do not see where that is a personal gain only for republicans. Oh, and BTW both repubs and democrats use the stock market to make money.

 

[Donald H]

It has nothing to do with money. The US spends more per capita on education than all other industrialized countries in the world including yours. Money is not the issue. Unions and carefree parents are.

American parents certainly would have something to do with the failure of your public school system.

It's interesting that you're down on unions. How can you reconcile that with a country's need to be able to pay a living wage, as opposed to 'right to work' states that can dictate less than the federal minimum wage?

If you're on a race to the bottom in America, you have to accept the consequences of people giving up on trying to find a decent paying job.

If your complaint about teachers' unions is based on some other problem with their unions then that's also worthy of discussion. In general, are America's teachers unions fukked up too?
And why would you think that?

No, it relates to how many of our people are people of color. It's people of color who commit the most crime. In fact 53% of our murders are committed by 7% of our society which are black males. So how many problems do you have with all your people of color in commie land?

 

[Harry Dresden]

so what happened to peachy the scammer?......

 

[Papageorgio]

We have a good job market, we can't find enough qualified people to work.
Most Americans life is affordable, in fact more people in the last year are going on some very expensive vacations in the states.
Economic stability is a world problem, not just a United States problem, in fact Covid-19 hit the world hard than the US. GDP drop in the US by 3.2% which is less than the rest of the world that lost 6.2% GDP due to the pandemic.
Not sure what family friendly means, I brought up kids and now they are bringing up kids and nothing is restricted.
Income, you have a point, the last three Presidents have provided the greatest transfers of wealth in history. Obama, Trump and Biden have created some real big income inequity problems.
The US is politically stable, nothing has changed in that area in many many decades.
Safety, hundreds of millions walk, drive, work, vacation, you name it, we are safe.
Our public health system is spendy however it is also one of the best in the world.
Education is a problem, to many kids indoctrinated, we spend a lot of public funds for little return.

 

[jknowgood]

What law was broken? The government we live under says they cant evict us. Not paying rent is a civil matter not criminal. And the lease break is in the contract we both agreed to

Im literally playing within the rules that have been set upon me by the government and landlord

Thats how Wall Street and Privileged America has always done it right?????

Not paying your bills shows you are a low life scumbag. The person you're not paying could be hurting for money. I'm paid up till October on my land and I try to stay 2 months ahead on my payments.

 

[Papageorgio]

so what happened to peachy the scammer?......

She is finding other ways to rip off people so she can have an easier, lazier life.

 

[jknowgood]

So??? Once I buy a house who cares, they cant arrest me just because Shady Pines Apartments says I owe them rent from 2 years ago

I hope it goes against your credit. Then no one will loan you money or rent you a place.

Of course they are Fd up. That's why I brought them up in the first place. During Covid it was the unions pressing for the shutdown of schools. Their members didn't go on unemployment like everybody else. They continued to get the same pay sitting at home than they did working. Without unions, the cities could have said no work--no pay, and our classes would have resumed as normal. But it was in the interest of the union to have their members get a free year or more of paid vacation.

Living wage? WTF is a living wage? Nothing has changed in this country for many years. When I started working in the late 70's, I couldn't come close to affording an apartment or house on minimum wage, and nobody today can either. Yes, if you were lucky, you may have been able to land a higher pay blue collar job such as the steel mills, auto plants, a number of places. While those jobs are pretty much gone, there are still plenty of decent paying jobs in our country where one can make much better than a living wage, again, WTF that is.

You know you can't fly all the poor and criminals to somewhere else Ray, but your thought echos the desperation felt by Americans. America created them and now America is responsible for them.
Throwing them in jails has also been a failure for America.

Trump had this country running top notch. He made great improvements on our border, we had a million more jobs than Americans who could possibly work them, women and every minority group had the lowest unemployment since records were kept, we hit a new median household income high, several stock market highs, and reasonable fuel prices all along.

To believe all that Ray, would require ignoring all the facts presented by other Americans.
In a nutshell, they are down to calling American cities 'shitholes'.

I highly suspect the truth is told with your country's 'quality of life' dropping to 15th.
Trump didn't improve on that. And he really didn't have a HC plan did he?

Why did half a million American have to die of Covid under the Trump regime?
Anything to do with Trump's claims of it being a fake virus?
Or curing it with bleach and bright lights inside?

But in fairness Ray, it's America's failure and that crosses political party lines.

 

[jknowgood]

So the fucking bank asks you where you got 15 K for a down payment and you proudly explain that you ripped off yor landlord? You need mental help loser!.

Not to mention the irs will be on him also.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

If you don't pay your rent you won't have the credit history to buy a house. Maybe you could buy a 1965 trailer home for cash but that's about it. What communist democrats want is government owned housing that people who can't pay rent will be able to live in. Something like the projects, but free.

From a Canadian's POV, I would consider paying the teachers as a 'socially responsible' thing to do. Far better than them needing social assistance from government.

A living wage is keeping equal to the cost of living. America's capitalists exporte the jobs you claim have gone missing.
There isn't 'still' enough decent paying jobs in America. I don't make up the facts Ray, your fellow Americans do and then they air them here.

You're starting to sound like you're ready to change over to promoting that everything is fine in America. It was expected.

And so what is a living wage? First we'll need to establish the location. In B.C. I would consider that to be perhaps $20-$30 an hour with benefits.

I take into consideration too, the wage necessary that can enable one parent to not work in families with children.

I tend to be optimistic based on what is good for the country. That also is considering an employer's ability to pay.

It's America!

Canada ranked #1 country in the world for Quality of Life | News

For the fifth year in a row, Canada is ranked the #1 country in the world in 2020 for Quality of Life, according to a global ranking from US News.

dailyhive.com

Most of you Americans seem to want to bring it down even more.
In general, lock up more poor people in jails, as quickly as the jails can be built!

That's not Canada or the other top ten countries' attitudes.

Just evict America's renters and let them survive in the country's dumpsters! It's America!

And it's getting to be crunch time.

 

[initforme]

If you fly all the poor out of the nation 2/3 of the population are gone. Where do all the companies find their dirt cheap american labor?

 

[initforme]

$20 per hour is NOT a good wage anymore.b that doesn't even sniff lower middle class ANYwhere in the us.

Yes, communists and socialists do want people to have a place to live.
You're effectively saying that America's capitalists don't.

Your country is as fukked up as Americans claim it is.
That's mostly because the working people's attitudes are fukked up. They still believe that if they work hard they will be the president! The very wealthy want you to keep on believing!
