Did Trump or Obama abuse his low income voting base more? I would have to go with Mr Trump! due to things like the trade war with China.

Grape posted:Why would Ethiopian dignitaries visit the Vatican. They wouldn't even be visiting Constantinople. They were monks who arrived to take part in the Council of Florence, an attempt to reunite the various branches of Christianity as the Ottomans rolled over the remnants of Byzantium. Their arrival is actually carved in bronze on the doors of Old Saint Peter's alongside other scenes showing the Byzantine emperor, who came in person.  The Byzantine emperor overseeing the council.  The Ethiopians arrive.

BiggerBoat posted:Anecdotally, I still hear the familiar refrain that "nobody wants to work anymore" uttered a lot in my workplace, which is full of Trumpies. A certain segment of Republican voters seem to take pride in having to work Saturdays, constantly stay late on short notice and coming into work even if they're sick or have a family crisis. I don't know where Republicans in general get the idea that Americans are loving lazy when every metric you can use to measure it clearly states the exact opposite. the whole "nobody wants to work anymore..." poo poo boomer managers pull is immediately followed with an unsaid "...for what i'm paying". millennials don't "work" because working upwards in a company is the thing of the past, especially when you have a bunch of bloated boomer fossils that refuse to retire clogging up upper management because they're so attached to their work, they have no meaning outside of it

ther'es a really (unintentionally) good story on NPR about why millennials are ghosting their jobs, which ended up with an interview of someone saying "the last time i 'did the right thing' and put in my 2 weeks notice, i was immediately escorted off the premises and i almost lost my apartment. why the gently caress would i ever give 2 weeks again?"

I had a experience in which the company tried to convince me that I had to give them two weeks notice as part of the resignation process. Even though the original offer letter itself said "at will employment"

Most of the gripes of management come from the fact that they forgot how to actually compete for workers. They're used to the post '08 world of having everyone 4 people apply for each job, so they could pay peanuts and micromanage everyone Turns out instead of creating a dedicated workforce, this just makes all of your employees want to leave at the first opportunity. Whoops!

I worked in my first job as fresh out for 7 years and only saw a 2-3% wage icrease even when I got better than meeting expectations in a forced ranking system. After that I've been only staying at the same company for no more than three years since you always get a bigger pay increase by jumping ship.

Basically, the banks that held the debt were bailed out, and homeowners were forced to eat a lot of the costs. If you're a nonwhite American, you're much more likely to be the first person in your family to own a home, and to have most of your wealth tied to your home. Crashing home prices fucks over low-to-middle income people of colour a lot worse than upper-middle class whites. Here's a paper on it, with a summary.cargo cult posted:VA dems are very successful electorally. if by anemic you mean they're neocons and finance/military industrial complex stooges who started winning races by running as Democats ssinceice 2008 in which case yeah theyre anemic. but that's hardly a deal breaker for a lot of the people who vote democrat in VA Halloween Jack has issued a correction as of 16:28 on May 3, 2019 |

I cant get promoted until he retires or dies.
