Time to get on the TRUMP train

[sonatine]

PFA does not know who I am, but I am probably the only person on this forum who has actually been "poor". Spent a few years working 50-60 hours a week for barely more than minimum wage, went winters without gas/electricity, lived in black neighborhood (13th most dangerous zip code in america), rode bike to and from work until I got jumped by a pack of you know what's then I had to walk...

let me assure you that the government doesn't/can't do shit for poor people. Everybody wants to talk about how stupid and terrible Trump voters are. I'll take working white trash over the inner city welfare/disability n-words who get Democrats elected any day of the week. These guys couldn't work more than 30 hours a week or they'd lose their benefits. They were born into public housing to single mothers, and the day they turned 18 they go to their social workers and figure out how to get a check from the government.

I was the manager of a Domino's pizza that accepted EBT. Our busiest day of the month was the 1st. 50 dollar orders going out to the hood, 3 dollar 2 liters of orange fanta, chicken wings everything. Upsell to infinity. It didn't matter if it was a bright, sunny tuesday in the middle of summer. We would do Super Bowl Sunday numbers.

If the people have another kid, their check gets bigger. If they are married, their check goes away. When their kids turn 18 the cycle repeats and compounds on itself.

Most of them will never escape it. It's modern day slavery.

To be clear, I dont think Hillary is going to 'save' those zip codes. I dont think anyone can save them.

But I do think that this isnt about voting for poor white trash or poor black trash, its voting for whomever is going to keep the dollar from devaluing. And when society's lowest common denominators calls the shots, it can take generations for the damage to be repaired.

The damage was done when the U.S. currency stopped being backed by gold and silver. The shits hit the fan already, slowing down the fan doesn't prevent the shit from hitting you.

I'm no economist but you're probably not gonna find one who thinks it's a good idea or even possible to go back to the gold standard.

Historically, I don't think you can prove that statement, as there is no sample size to study.. The fact that so few are put in charge of so much is why we are where we are now.

And the Evil corporations, heads held high, convinced their government to allow the outsourcing of untold # of American jobs. Tax breaks were not enough for the greedy and they convinced their paid accomplices to look away.

There isn't enough of those literal finite quantities of matter to equal the amount of currency floating around this planet. Going back to a Gold standard would create war zones of any clump of sand with gold in it and those who had gold would become the most untouchable humans in history. All around not a good idea.

Well, if you pretend to live in a democracy, then you let it do it's thang.

Results from that decision may take decades. And if you want to list perceived bungles by decision makers, then you will need a supply of ink.

Retards don't care what is possible or a good idea. They'd rather parrot lines about stuff they don't even understand from wacko web sites and hate radio.

holy shit.. i wonder.. if hillary was declared unfit to run due to health..... would they tap in bernie?

She has pneumonia which is nasty but resolvable. It will be long gone well before election day.

If we're being perfectly honest, I never really believed we were living in a democracy until the checks and balances fell apart and .... *waves finger at Trump* all this happened.

Dude 68 year olds die from pneumonia all the time. Im not saying shes 100% 'at risk' but we need to stop pretending that there is zero chance they decide she needs to go to the hospital, like a mortal human person, and wont be able to finish out the race.

Because really thats all it would take. "Hillary couldnt make the debates tonight because shes on an IV drip" and we have the Orange Horseman of the Trashpocolypse getting the football.

Seriously, maybe all the fluoride in the chink water is affecting your comprehension, i never suggested we go back to the gold standard.

Just the true definition of retardation.

I agree.

My point was the shit hit the fan long ago.

As if things have only begun to go bad.

Decades of failed policy by people who shouldn't have been responsible for making those policies have led us to today's bureaucracy.

Listen, a long time ago some clown named Rothschild came up with this idea that if all the countries were lending money to one another and investing in the other sides future, that it would somehow lead to less war. Well it's at least less war for the really really big countries that have infinite debt and infinite military structures to push the little shits around. But it really does come back to finite natural resources.. in this case oil.

No, no i'm not advocating for an oil standard on currency either. It just goes back to my previous point that every fucking sand dune will be fought over until they are dried up.

NAFTA has been a disaster for the US so it must of been good for Mexico right? Nope this is why trade deals like NAFTA / TPP are called " A race to the bottom."

"In this episode of Days of Revolt, Chris Hedges sits down with two activists from Mexico, Pauline Luna and Jessica Alcazar. The two explain the effects of US-imposed neoliberalism on Mexico, particularly since the signing of 1994 trade agreement NAFTA. They highlight the abuse and “disappearance” of Mexican human rights advocates, activists, journalists, and laborers. Luna and Alcazar also lay out their project, “Concertación Ciudadana”, which demands a new constitution and uninhibited direct participation on a grassroots level."
