Or a bit more senior and a white shoe law firm, a bit more senior still and a big 4 accounting firm, etc. One of my former students, at age 24, makes $500k before bonus at a PE firm, though I realize this is an anomaly.

I can't think of a single reason why a hurricane in Puerto Rico, after two equally devastating hurricanes in areas where lots of white people live, spurs talk of not rebuilding due to climate change. It's probably that people are becoming very rational and logical now.

Just to put things into perspective: September was, for most of the month, one of Trump's best months. No major developments in the Russia case. He managed to hold his head up and act vaguely neutrally presidential through two hurricanes. I mean, it was photo-op stuff, but it was what was to be expected. (Up until the last week or so). I thought that September was a lull, and for the most part, it was. This next month, October, I think will be pivotal. I mean, its easy to predict there will be controversy in the Trump Administration, but something tells me that this will be pivotal.

It honestly makes me sort of worried about Honolulu getting hit by a hurricane. We are also in the middle of a big ocean of water. Some people say it is even bigger than the one Puerto Rico is in They did just change the reccomended amount of emergency supplies from one week to two.

I'd say that PR should introduce a new referendum to join the US and get in to the Union ASAP so they are there in time to help vote out Trump but I guess that is a bit rushed.

As far as I can tell it is one person. Who also happens to have a Steve Bannon avatar with redtext saying they hate minorities. Also all the people joking about how Kelly failed to reign in Trump need to remember that he actually has done an amazing job at bringing the within the White House office politics civil war to a swift close.

logosanatic posted:poo poo were at the coup and assassinate president stage. its like im listening to the conservative part of my family during obama. it wasnt ok whem they did it. its still not ok to talk like that now even if trump is poo poo. elections coming in couple years. conservatives calling for a coup against obama were just racist dumbass white people with no case. the case against trump is so massive and easily built that the question is "where to start?" not "am i just being anti-republican?" there IS a difference and dont ever compare the two in such a dismissive way. the amount of scandals feels like it has been a daily occurrence but we still might be a long way off seeing even rumblings of impeachment because the house and senate are R locked and they pledge their allegiance to trump. this post is not intended to be pro-coup of trump i guess i just wanted to call you a poo poo-swallower while also contributing my opinion on the take of conservatives against obama vs liberals against trump (not that it should be difficult to see the difference for anyone with moral compass)

Koalas March posted:Even if it were I'm not convinced Trump would care one iota more. He wouldn’t, but being fully integreated into the American political order is a nearly incalculable benefit. PRs current status is one that’s the result if a century of neglect and racism. The exact course of the flames burning it down has been set by Trump, but weve been piling the wood for decades and should hardly be surprised at how thoroughly it burns. No matter how bigoted and useless he is he couldn’t have caused a problem like the one PR faces now in the 8 months he’s been in office.

Stereotype posted:October was when the stock market fell apart in 2008 (and 1929) so maybe we will get another. I think the problem in the US economy will probably be in the retail sector. As discussed in the retail thread, there have been a lot of problems with big box retailers and department stores this year, and that is leading to malls closing because they are losing their anchor stores. Many chains, such as Sears, are hanging on because they have convinced investors to wait. If this holiday shopping season is disappointing for them (it probably will be, especially because of the economic effect of Houston and Miami being hit by hurricanes), there will probably be a longer string of bankruptcies and dominoing retail closures in January-March of next year. At which point, we could already be in a nuclear war, so who knows?

I got banned from Ask_TheDonald for pointing out that Trump's response to PR has been terrible. Apparently I broke Rule 6: "ONLY PARTICIPATE IN GOOD FAITH We are a PRO TRUMP subreddit. It is fine to debate issues of policy or ask for Supporter opinions on the President, the First Family or the Trump Administration. However, anyone using this subreddit as a "soapbox" to demean the President, the First Family or the Administration is subject to being banned. "

A tornado is a type of nontropical cyclone, and while they're sometimes called Cyclones, they aren't considered ones by the meteorogical definition! They have the same definition, but very different geneses and durations
