Good. The faster we replace our most menial jobs with robots, the faster we get a guaranteed minimum income and end our ridiculous societal attachment to labor for sake of labor.

When you have like ~50% of the population screaming "LET HIM DIE" at party sponsored death rallies in response to the question of what to do about a helpless person people out of jobs due to the job not existing anymore aren't going to be put on a minimum income. I think the worst thing about Bernie supporters is they vastly underestimate how unsympathetic a near majority of non-rich Americans are. Evil and money are not directly related things; poor people are perfectly capable of being terrible awful people.

It's like the Bobby Jindal thing, would it be racist to call him is real name all the time as a dig? Yes! Except he has intentionally done his best to white wash himself (no really the dudes portraits make his skin color several shades lighter than it actually is) and appeal to the most disgusting racists in America; bringing up his real name is poinent because he changed his name to avoid being treated as an outside due to racism but has gone on to be a vile disgusting racist himself.

So, if all of the manual labor jobs are gonna get replaced with machines, then does that mean we just take the 50% unemployment rate and deal with it or do we instill a basic income instead?

Haha, like there was ever an option.

So those latest polls with Perry doing about 2-3 and Kasich at 5...does that knock Perry out of the debates entirely? (lol, no, Fox will change the rules again to make sure he's there, but...)

They changed the criteria recently so that everyone who the polls ask about by name and get any support are in

How are they going to accommodate 15 or more candidates? It is a mystery

e: Oh, that's only for the pre-main event debate apparently - so the main debate will have the top 10 polling (which Perry likely will be in) and the detritus debate will have the rest...

double edit actually it looks like Perry is polling in 11th place so you're right lol he will sit at the kiddie table with Rick Santorum and Carly Fiorina

Funny you ask.

quote:

Contenders for each event will be selected on August 4 from an average of five national polls chosen by Fox. But which polls the network will use remains an open question and a source of controversy.

The candidates with the most on the line are Rick Perry and John Kasich. As things stand now, both are in contention to land the tenth and final prime-time spot, depending on which polls are averaged. According to sources, advisers for both Kasich and Perry have been calling Fox trying to find out which polls Fox is considering and how they will break a tie. “We don’t know what methodology they’re going to use. We’ve been asking the question and they haven’t shared,” says a Kasich adviser who, like all campaign sources I spoke with, agreed to speak on background for fear of angering Ailes. (Fox spokesperson Irena Briganti did not respond to requests for comment.)

In the absence of a clear answer from the network, advisers for both Kasich and Perry have taken to lobbying Ailes and Fox executives to use polls that put their guy over the line. One person close to the Perry campaign told me that GOP fund-raiser and Ailes friend Georgette Mosbacher recently called Ailes on behalf of the former Texas Governor. Other strategists cautioned that selling Ailes too aggressively could backfire. “Anyone who knows Roger knows that ain’t gonna work,” a longtime operative said.

The thinking among the strategists I spoke with is that Ailes faces conflicting impulses when it comes to choosing Perry or Kasich. On the one hand, Ailes is certainly hoping to produce the best television, which would give the unpredictable Perry the advantage. “People will want Perry in just because of the ‘oops’ factor,” one GOP media adviser said, referring to Perry’s infamous brain freeze from 2012. Others stressed Kasich’s close relationship with Ailes, an Ohio native. Before getting back into politics, Kasich hosted a weekly Fox show. “Roger likes Kasich,” a Fox insider told me. “Plus Roger knows it'll look awful if the sitting governor isn't on that stage.”

:iiam:

(but that article was obviously written before Kasich had that poll at 5%. Kasich is pretty clearly in, and Perry out now.)

Donald Trump has a secret plan to fight inflation.

quote:

Lewandowski said the mainstream media will not dictate to them how they should release their specific policies, reiterating that the policy positions are done.

“They’re done and we’re waiting, you know, for our schedule and we won’t be, you know, dictated to by the mainstream media to tell us what we should or shouldn’t be doing and how these positions should be put out front,” he stated. “You know we have been held to a different standard in this race than every other candidate and so, you know, what we are not going to do is to allow them to drive the narrative of how our campaign should be run.”

So far, Trump has said his health care plan is to “repeal and replace (ObamaCare) with something terrific,” that he’ll build a fence across the U.S.-Mexican border and make Mexico pay for it, and that he’ll defeat ISIS because he “would hit them so hard your head would spin.”

This is, without irony, the coolest thing Trump will do. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of Iowans, and probably Americans, never have or will again get the chance to ride in a helicopter. My only complaint is he should bring a few helicopters so all the kids can get a turn.
