quote:Reuters news agency is quoting an official with the French firefighting team as saying: "We can now say that the structure of Notre-Dame has been saved from total destruction". I don't know if it's "happy" so much as "it could have been worse" but from the pictures coming out of it I was expecting a pile of rubble so

On the topic of unions anyone living in Stop & Shop country have anything similar to what I've seen about the strike? Drove by my local one and got to see a nearly empty parking lot on mid Sunday! Sounds like it's going good for the strikers.

StandardVC10 posted:I still kind of feel like I need a good historic preservation story to counter-balance it though The spire that collapsed only dated from the 18th century, versus the bulk of the cathedral that was built in the 12th. So the equivalent of the satellite dish that you installed 5 years ago falling off your 20 year old home. I know that's not really a good comparison, but we're trying to find any positives we can.

LastInLine posted:It's exactly this. Right wing hysteria has trained everyone that socialism is "anything good". The worse thing for them is when researched it further proves to be good. I feel like there are two knee-jerk reptile-brain reactions in the voting public that have been unusually strong in recent years: A. Things might be lovely right now, but it's the best we can expect; we'd better not change anything or we'll lose what we do have B. Things are lovely and stupid now; we should try something, anything, to shake it up It was an unusual confluence of both of these that got us Trump. A-type people are the ones who think capitalism is great and what we really need to do to let capitalism shine is elect a literal avatar of capitalistic excess, to "run the country like a business" and basically materialize all their theories about what they think makes America different from the parts of the world that believe government and not industry has a role to play in shaping society. The B-type people are the ones who were like "Lol, burn it all down, idgaf". But during these last few years, it's only become more and more apparent that running the country Trump-style isn't helping anybody, even the A-types. Nobody has more money in their paychecks, nobody is having an easier time paying for health care or college, the Dow might be flying high but people I think are having a harder time convincing themselves that it corresponds to anything good for them at the checkout lanes or the gas pumps. I feel like the impulse toward A is coming home to people as having been a mistake, for those who were willing to look at it as an experiment at all. There will be plenty of people who will go to their graves thinking we just didn't capitalism HARD enough, even electing Trump wasn't enough. But anyone who is still looking down the barrel of a hospital bill that won't get paid by their $1600/mo-w-$6000-deductible work-provided health plan has got to be thinking you know, maybe there is a better way. So maybe these A-type thinkers will start to feel the B-type impulse more strongly: poo poo, we gotta try something, because what we've been doing ain't working.

Data Graham posted:the Dow might be flying high but people I think are having a harder time convincing themselves that it corresponds to anything good for them at the checkout lanes or the gas pumps. This is why all the harping about "The economy!!!!!" is a red herring. People will talk up how awesome the economy is as an example of what Trump is doing well, but ask them what actual effects they've seen. Has their pay increased? Have prices dropped? Are the stores full of better quality food or more options? Chances are their personal life has seen exactly zero change, especially if they're poor. The only people who have benefited at all are the same people who always benefit: wealthy business owners whose income is tied to their business's success and operate on such a macro scale that international trade and stock prices actually affect their bottom line. chitoryu12 has issued a correction as of 17:09 on Apr 16, 2019 |

The people I see don't think I'm terms of socialism or capitalism but more in terms of establishment or outsider but the sentiment is the same. It's probably the political phenomenon that gives me the most hope going forward.
