Your assertion is on point. These people have been indoctrinated since birth, they are effectively abused....JMHO.... You can go to Gaza today, and speak to children (yes, I did so) and they will tell you that since birth they are taught to hate the Jews, to want to kill them......this foments really despicable people. And its happening all over the place.....even in our Universities....where hate is taught under the guise of enlightenment. They always go after the kids......

When you refer to 2008 I infer you are referring to the economic downturn driven by ignorant government policies..... This is where it gets tricky, if you were to say ask......a politician....they will hand pick measurements that might say no.....or might say yes.... and you can certainly do both....example, the poverty rate was 13.2 percent in 2008, up from 12.5 percent rate in 2007. Today, the poverty rate is 12.4% an increase from 7.4% in 2021. So then one would say.....well gee, it isnt so bad today....what are all you people whining about? Well, then you can play the game even more, using dollar value.... so then $100 in 2008 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $144.13 today, an increase of $44.13 over 16 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.31% per year between 2008 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 44.13%. This means that today's prices are 1.44 times as high as average prices since 2008, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. A dollar today only buys 69.382% of what it could buy back then. The inflation rate in 2008 was 3.84%. The current inflation rate compared to last year is now 3.15%. If this number holds, $100 today will be equivalent in buying power to $103.15 next year. I can go on....but lets pause here for a moment.....none of that stupid sh!t matters when your life is worse today then it ever has been before.....period..... THAT is what people are now saying..... Now we can refute them by dropping numbers and showing graphs.....but that will only p!ss them off....which is why I am perfectly fine with Democrats doing this very thing.... The more you gaslight, the more voters move away from you....and the safer they are

I am not clear if you are actively avoiding the reality here or if you are just over-relying on the hand=picked data..... The distinction being active denial/lying vs simple cognitive dissonance.... I guess it does not really matter, since the people are speaking out now about how bad it is......and thats all the actually matters....that they accept it and vote against Democrats.....so long as that happens perhaps it does not matter if you accept the damage or not

I misunderstood what you wrote then, my apologies

I respectfully disagree. The BLM criminals should have been arrested......and still be in jail....and outcome denied to serve political interests of the Democrats...... Allowing ourselves the luxury to " do it too" is no way to live. We are better than this, we should not allow ourselves to become the despicable.....it wont be easy. We essentially have to allow the children to act up......and deny ourselves any commensurate behaviors....but that is what it means to be an adult

Thank you for being an honest participant. Your assertion is correct, I did not correct it earlier on purpose. Was hoping the overreaction might lead to more honest back and forth....

I assure you there are more of these. And if you travel you will find Nazi's are still out there, so too is Hamas....Hezbolla and many....many others.... The world is a dangerous place, which is why allowing illegal immigration is a bad idea....we have enough problems, do not need to add more....

I am not insulting you, but you should be aware of your behaviors. It might hurt your feelings to hear the truth, but you should still hear it.

Consistently low class, I appreciate you staying firm to something.

I could have surmised as much, that you demonstrate actual consistency in holding to this perverse way of thinking, which is a departure for you....suggests this is probably who you really are.

Reaffirming intent as you have, doubling-down, is something you should be ashamed of, and yet you celebrate it.....you have no idea how perverse your mind is.

So now.....rather than admit you were wrong.....you instead apply intent.....in a negative way....toward my actions.... I suggest you really reconsider how you think, this way of engaging with people is not healthy.

Business is indeed self-serving, as are their employees......this is how it works..... so yeah. Moreover, the business has an obligation to its employees to try to stay in business.....and when government does something stupid they naturally....and rightfully react to preserve the business and if that is at the expense of the employee.....its is not the fault of the business reacting to the governmental influence, it is the fault of the government meddling where it has no right to.... I leave it to you to focus on MOD, I added that one for a reason, and it seems to be delivering what I expected.....

If you have to "normalize" something, then that thing is not normal..... The emergence of intolerance for ideas and criticism is unfortunate. You can never be honest, because the truth hurts feelings.... Criticize a woman? Prepare to be labelled....you have to lie to them

Except my links have quotes from the business owners....admitting....are we to now call them liars? More will close, plenty will fight to exist....as they should......but more and more will close, and it will harm the people these politicians pretend they care about

Would our liberal economic "experts" like to attempt an estimate as to who this hurts disproportionately?

No, its when I say "I am being a hypocrit" which you can continue to pretend does not happen to your hearts content....

The law only just went into effect.....in order for you to understand I am correct, alot of people will have to be harmed before an admission is possible....as has been proven true with Oregon correcting course.....they conducted a lab experiment on millions of people.....and after harming them profoundly......are now realizing.....ooopps....our bad....

I might be able to....but tell you what, for a moment....lets assume I cannot....because this is where it gets fun.... I also could not have shown you anything to "prove" that legalizing drugs in Oregon would lead to more drug use, death and crime.....had NO way of of proving it....but I had enough common sense to understand that would happen.... and of course it did.... Now....I also have enough common sense, in part from the top link provided, to know that if fraud is to occur......it will be through mail in voting more so than in person....... and my other links show that fraud is ever present.

Your questions are irrelevant to my goals....

Of course there is, and you met my expectations to focus only on that element, ignoring all else.....I just wanted to see if a liberal would do so....you did not disappoint.,..

I would not expect you to be an honest broker, so its all good....
