The Great Depression No One Talks About

Fool!

LOLStop believing in the idiots you follow.It really is that simple.No problem gets solved by using violent suppression. Even World War II was finally solved by negotiation and by addressing the needs of the people for food, clothing, shelter, dignity.Adding more police will never address any of the causes for shoplifting.Until we stop the really stupid Law & Order Crap all we will do is make life worse.But then that seems to be what you want.

So it is once again only about how you feel!Can you see a pattern?Has your store requested the police to suppress the shoplifters?And I notice that yet again when we get down to what is really bugging you it is NOT the Great Depression or National Debt but Phat's feelings of entitlement.

Correct; YOUR entitlement is jess fine.Got it!

And beware the conmen saving you money, for example by stopping the payroll tax.Yup, today's paycheck may get a little bigger but Social Security, Unemployment and Medicare would disappear.Taxes are not bad. In fact the places with a far higher quality of life than the US also have higher taxes.

Above you said you would support more police and more suppression.And that would require you to pay higher taxes.But what would you get for those taxes?Well more folk in prison which would require more taxes from you.And other than that?

You are welcome to hold any opinion regardless of how utterly stupid and false it might be. See above.But getting rid of the Law & Order crap does not mean that police may not have some value. The Law & Order crap is truly stupid stuff like the war on drugs and militarization of police and failure to fund and address root causes and expecting police to function as social workers and forgetting that the police goal is actually to Serve & Protect.But as I said, you are free to remain as willfully stupid as you wish.

It's because I actually think Phat has the potential to learn how to think critically. Nonsense. The LA Bank Robbery might be justification for have a hunting rifle in the trunk but that's far from what happened. The FBI shootout might also justify police having and wearing some body armor but that too is far from what happened.The Militarization was simply another way to move money from Public Coffers into private pockets.Edited by jar, : appalin spallin

But American do go to Cuba, despite the fact that the US is still stupidly trying to isolate Cuba, for medical care they could not get in the US until very recently and that the current fascist US government is trying to once again halt.

The bill will get paid under any Administration Phat. There is no way to avoid the bill; only a variety of ways to mitigate the pain that paying the bill will be. The biggest pain I see facing the middle class is the current fascist policies of the current Republican Party.You truly have no idea of just how painful life will get for YOU if Trump is elected for a second term. You will kiss your union goodbye, kiss your employer healthcare, forget about Social Security, forget ANY job security, forget Medicare or Medicaid and be replaced in a heartbeat by a RFID based checkout counter. If Trump wins the election you will be unemployed by June of next year and in fact unemployable.Edited by jar, : fix sub-titleEdited by jar, : that

the RFID chips will come but under Biden Social Security might still be there as well as Medicare and maybe even Medicaid. There is even a possibility under Biden that the Union will be allowed to continue.Under Trump there will be no unions, nor workers rights, not job safety requirements, only minimum wages, no unemployment, not environmental policies only rape and pillage of any resources and all going to the rich.

Pray for Social Security and Single Payer Socialized Medicine and support for Unions and a President who has not been a failure in business, entertainment, casinos, college, charity marriages and basic humanity. They will do far more for you than wisdom or Jesus.Edited by jar, : that --------> for

Basics Phat, basics.There is evidence that the Universe exists.There is no evidence of any creator.

Look at the part you underlined and really read what is written.Nothing in what you underlined points to or indicates or suggests any change in the Prodigal Son but only a possible suggestion of some change in status.Just as with the conversion of Saul; NOTHING in the story even hints at any change in the nature of the individual.

And so you create a god that considers YOU as special and gives to you. You want a god that is just like the father in the fable; one that accepts you back unconditionally. But you show that in life you don't behave like that father; you expect people to give up cursing and drinking and gambling and anything else YOU do not think appropriate. Where is the change?Did he not hire himself out before returning home?When he returned home was he treated as one of this father's hired hands?Might it be that what you want is not to be treated as one of god's hired hands but rather clothed in a fine robe and feed the fatted pig?
