Yup. In fact: I had drill scheduled this weekend. Commander just excused everyone due to the incoming storm. Which probably won't do anything.

My 30 year old car didn't blink during Snowmageddon, decent all weathers and locking diffs crawling along the backroads got me home.

WTF is "economic anxiety"? Is that the pain I feel in my gut when Trump causes a stock price to drop and 60% of my investments are in US companies, or is it some buzzphrase that millenial organizations are using to make people feel bad about not being lower-middle class?

Its the slowly dawning fact that the last 40 years of Republican and Democrat economic policies have failed the vast majority of Americans.

Clinton's primary and Trump's victory really hosed us here.

We should make a conscious effort to make sure economic politics is seen as for everyone, because it is. Everyone benefits from increased wages and access to/enforcement of labor protections. Everyone is harmed by wage theft and at-will/right-to-work legislation.

And it's so integral to idpol that they're basically different ends of the same thing.

How much does [Decreased call-backs to ethnic names] involves stereotypes regarding 'fit' to class-related cultural-norms derived from socioeconomic correlates?

How much does [Increased police brutality against ethnic groups] rely on disproportionate impoverishment yielding disproportionate inability to afford navigation of the legal system and hiring of lawyers?

It's all connected.

We can't gift Trump control of the framing here. Economics is for everyone.

Tell your progressive friends to explain to my parents why they should vote for them. I mean when ethnic voters don't see why Bernie is good for them, or he says oh I was with you 40+ years ago.. you can't win. Someone asks why centerists win? Because they know how to win local and regional elections, and Bernie could never win in say NY or NJ for example.

No, it's not just the US. It's the capitalist system letting everyone down. The better the system works, the more it drives income disparity and erodes the middle class.
Force them to work for less, and then a trickle down effect is how the system is supposed to operate!
loving recessions every decade, but the rich now are in tune to make money of them these days.

The system would still work if...
Who am I kidding, the system is based on maximizing profits every quarter, so lower class workers in the first world in private industry are always going to lose jobs to cheaper workers in 3rd world countries for manufactured goods.
And now retail jobs are off with many buying over the internet from overseas (though the retailers are stuck in supplying poo poo service because they have to cut back to inflate reports to make it look good for the stock market and try increase profits, so they are eating themselves)
It's only the resource industries, local skilled workers, or government infrastructure that is going to keep nations from failing, but the rich won't care. They can move to a different country. Hell their money is probably already there!

Down here we've dug up poo poo, and sold off public government infrastructure and fail at building anything else/more, so the money will run out. The governments care more about a credit rating and lining their own personal pockets.

Funny how going left dale might help, but the "left" parties have gone centre/left and the "right" keeps going further right. What the right are doing seems normal (austerity in hard times and all that crap), and anyone suggesting go more left/socialist is regarded as a loon. But to stop selling off public built assets and build more infrastructure and help get people into work through social or medical systems would actually help?

I don't know your parents and both wings of the Democrats have great support among minorities. The perception of a conflict between social and economic justice was cultivated as a campaign tactic and later reinforced by the geography and demographics of Trump's victory. My point is that that's a false divide which helps Trump now. Economic policy is necessary to improving American lives.


Also, the centrists are not good at elections. We must light a fire under their asses:

quote:

Overall, Sabato wrote, Democrats during Obama’s presidency lost 11 governorships, 13 U.S. Senate seats, 69 House seats, and 913 state legislative seats and 30 state legislative chambers. (Our analysis of legislative seats is off from Sabato’s by three. The small discrepancy is likely due to run-offs and recounts.)
http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/jan/25/cokie-roberts/have-democrats-lost-900-seats-state-legislatures-o/

And while progressives may've been half the party during that time, too, they weren't at the helm. This is why I hope Keith Ellison becomes DNC chair. He's got an excellent grassroots background for rebuilding the party from the ground up.

There was a lot of talk about this kind of thing a while back, but then it came out that Arnie had the nanny lovechild and that was basically that. Pretty impressive how well Arnie has rehabbed his image since then though.

Initial (probably incorrect) reports have given the name of the CAC card, and said the shooter yelled, "I'm not Jewish!"

Sane reports are also saying that he was in uniform, I wonder if he was a Guard/Reservist who was on duty there.
