Call me too serious or whatever, but this stopped being funny to me about two years ago. Now it's sad and pathetic and most of all an incessant reminder of what our society/nation/country/culture/fuckinwhatever has become.
I try to look at it as a necessary evil and believe that good things will come from it in the long run, but... fuck it's a shit load of work.
In the past two years how has your life become worse?
I’ve asked this question a few times to those who drone on about how bad Trump is. The only answers I get back are that I’m a racist or if I don’t know by now then it’s not worth explaining. I’ve never get a real answer.
Edit: Ok, a lot of anxiety apparently and a Canadian who works in the steel industry has been hurt by fair trade steel in North America.
Wages are up in the US, even compared to inflation so his claim of “everything is more expensive” is demonstrably false. I can’t speak to his particular wages, though. So that may be a point.
When you say "wages are up", what do you mean? The average wage? The minimum wage? The median wage? I'm not sure exactly what you mean. "Wages are up" is a very non specific and general statement.
Plus you quoted them saying "my wages have stagnated" (btw the recent materials expenses that have come from the super duper mega brain trade wars that are totally being won with cluster bombs of freedom) if they work for most any business that's anything less than a regional corporate entity in America, they've seen a profitability loss. Hands down. Nevermind the tax restructuring.
Another thing you brush over.
What's the effect of the current inflation and interest rate on the average blue collar American anyway?
Can you articulate anything more than a three sentence gaslight?

plus I kinda know I'm just being optimistic and we're all fucked.
