They had the time to be more resourceful because their 40 hour a week jobs paid living wages.
and then fold it in half and a make mexican style pizza burger!!!
See the beautiful things we could accomplish together?

Yeah, this was impressive. He does a better job than all of them imo, including the surrogate schmucks on CNN.
It still isn’t enough (this is Trump’s, not SkyzykS’, fault), but damn if it shouldn’t be earning our guy a big fat paycheck and a primetime slot.

No. He was a miner in the early 1900’s and made the equivalent of 20-25cts per week paid in company scrip. They grew their own food so that they had something to eat. Work week was more like 72hrs./week.
And if you were killed in a collapse, your family was evicted by the start of the following week.

Now I am going to cite all those government regulations that unions worked to guarantee that Trump is working on destroying.
EPA and free press is a large part of worker/people health.
Cool.
When you get done with that maybe you can explain which of those can’t be addressed more directly by an individual or group through a civil suit.
Then I would ask do you think it is fair that big corporations have billions to pay lawyers while the workers being exploited dont have adequate representation?
Taxes are wages paid to an elected group of people to serve THE people, not the money of the people.
Trump himself was elected on the ideals that he would get money out of DC.
If any individual or group have a valid claim to damages, there is an entire law firm chomping at the bit to make sure that they are compensated for said damages.
Tell me, how much has the EPA cost industry on their recent implementation of 0 ppb for hexavalent chromium exposure, vs. how much they have returned to the people actually exposed to it?

Thanks to the EPA I dont have to know. What I do know is that coal is a fossil fuel accurately named as in we should stop using it and that coal mine waste shouldn’t be dumped into streams.
There are some things that Trump says that I vehemently agree with:
“Intelligence Community” is untrustworthy #NSA #CIA
Money needs to stop controlling DC
The media is a propaganda machine
The problem is Trump says he is working to stop all of that but then takes every action possible to exploit it for his own personal gain.
If he just disbanded the “Intelligence Community” and made misinformation a criminal offense I would be all on board.
Instead he creates his own misinformation and disbands laws/agencies/scientists that hinder oil production.
But me talking about that is off topic and what I really want to know is how/why Trump supporters see what he is doing and still support him?
Thank you both. I’m honored/humbled.
CNN would be a howl! As soon as I composed myself from the panic attack I would probably be ok. Then they would have to hire another person for the bleep button and have a therapist on hand for their anchors.

So a free press is essential to our liberty but we should put people in jail for saying stuff?

I could probably be persuaded to donate for counseling, just to see the live broadcasts

I assume you’re talking off the cuff here, but you’re wrong about the numbers. Half of all low-income families of working age have zero workers. Raising the minimum wage won’t help them. Half of all low-income workers are teens and young adults under 24, who most likely still live with parents.

You’ve made some really nice posts. I made a long winded post about the EPA, and then deleted it.
This is my sense of things as people freak out about the idea of ANY cuts to the EPA. Most have no idea how the EPA regulations have changed over the past decade, could not tell you why red states have been disproportionately effected by clean power regulations, have not a single idea what the energy grid is, can’t tell you anything about the EPA and it’s effects on ranching and farming… on and on… Much less talk intelligently about the costs of all of these new EPA regulations and how they effect the economy.
It’s mostly like this. Meme with something about “Cut the EPA??? Trump will have all of our kids drinking Flint Lead-laced Toilet Water!!!” Cue the Hysteria. Were we all drinking toilet water in 2008? And just how much are the new regs effecting things like climate change? What are the projections and the associated costs?

We don’t need to know stuff anymore. As long as some agency knows it.
Because the Right and especially Trump supporters are anti-intellectual. Of course this same guy thinks that its the Executive Branch’s job to approve and/or cosign scientific discourse.

Can you blame people, though, considering there have been next to zero details from the Trump administration as to what they plan to do, outside of cutting regulations? He’s appointed a climate change denier to head the EPA and, of course, Trump himself has called climate change a “Chinese hoax”.
I am certain there are completely unnecessary regulations that deserve to be cut. But when Trump appoints Scott Pruitt to be in charge of the environment, removes any mention of climate change from the White House website, as well as cuts references to carbon pollution as a cause of climate change from the EPA site, people are rightfully concerned.
I probably have (hopefully) 40 years left on this planet; my sons could be here for another 100. Trump’s actions and lack of communication on climate change since taking office have me pretty concerned.

Trump’s doing a terrible PR job, Tyler. No, I don’t blame people for that. BUT I do get tired of people putting up memes and posts about stuff they don’t understand at all. There’s so much background noise right now, so much of it amped up beyond any reason.
