That reminded me when we were flying out, the ground crews went on strike and walked out while we were waiting on the plane. I was confused and asked the boarding agent - she shrugged and says it happens every week and they'll be back on the job in an hour or two. No big deal. Sure enough, the strike ended an hour or two later and we were on our way.
So now you're worried about debt, deficits, and job loss?
Your boy Trump left the White House with the largest peacetime budget deficit in American history and a national debt exceeding 100% of the economy for the first time since World War II.
Trump is also in a very select group of presidents to leave office with a NET LOSS in jobs. 2.9-3 millions jobs were lost and unemployment rose to 6.3% during Donny's reign of terror...The worst jobs president in modern American history.

How conveniently you “forget” this thing called Covid. You know, where the government (Lord Fauci and his assistant Walenski) FORCED tens of millions of people to stay home. (After all, they weren’t essential). Gosh, I wonder why unemployment was a tad high?
Almost LOL’d at “Donny’s reign of terror”! I’m now certain you have no clue what those words really mean, or how blessed you are to live where you do. How did you even survive those long, dark years of low taxes and near total energy independence?

Nancy P led the largest peacetime budget deficit and an explosive debt expansion under the guise of Covid stimulus. Even more worrisome is that we now think we can print as much money as we want, and it doesn't matter. Hard work doesn't matter anymore, as people who don't work are rewarded as much or more than the folks that bust their asses.
But yeah, covid never happened, you were never locked up in your house and forced to take an experimental vaccine while "peaceful protestors" were encouraged to gather and burn down cities killing over 25 civilians and many police officers, injuring over 6,000 with over $2 billion in damages and Trump was never impeached over Joey's corruption in Ukraine. It was all an illusion.
Comon' man - it's all malarkey.
But we have UFO's. So, it's all ok.

Low taxes for the wealthy and a relaxing of environmental policy that allowed for a surge in dirty energy from fossil fuels? That was so great for us! It was so great, that everyone went out hard to vote for the Don in 2020! Right?

I’m not wealthy. My taxes went down.
Personally, I love fossil fuels. Love them. Like it or not, they make modern life possible. You know, like literally ALL your food, water, livelihood (unless you have an electric Freightliner and chipper setup), heat, AC and communications.
And until you can convince China and India to voluntarily eviscerate their own economies by “going green”, nothing we do will help. At all. Zero.
I refuse to live like a Romanian peasant from 1870 just so some effete leftist can feel smug about his/her efforts to “save the planet” while continent-hopping in a Gulfstream eating Wagyu and Tweet-lecturing me about my thermostat setting and use of a gas stove. All while China has approved over 50 Gigawatts of NEW coal power in just the first half of this year.

And please remind me who was during covid? I can't for the life of me remember his name, but I do remember that he got caught redhanded knowingly lying to the American people about the very contagious and deadly nature of covid..
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/09/trump-coronavirus-deadly-downplayed-risk-410796
Meanwhile Donny was telling the American people lie after lie. Just a small sampling of the lies the cost many Americans their lives-
“It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle—it will disappear.”
If the economic shutdown continues, deaths by suicide “definitely would be in far greater numbers than the numbers that we’re talking about” for COVID-19 deaths
“99%” of COVID-19 cases are “totally harmless.”
“Coronavirus numbers are looking MUCH better, going down almost everywhere,” and cases are “coming way down.”
“We now have the lowest Fatality (Mortality) Rate in the World.”
Children are “virtually immune” to COVID-19.
The bottom line is that under Trump's presidency we saw historic increases in both debt and deficits, historic job loss, a large rise in unemployment, and dead bodies piled up in the fucking morgues...MAGA bitches!

It did disappear like a miracle.
Suicides did go up.
99% of Covid cases were harmless.
Coronavirus cases are looking much better, and going down almost everywhere.
Children are virtually immune.
Do you get literally all your news from MSNBC and NPR?

Problem is the sides are too far apart for meaningful compromise. For compromise to work, each side gives up a little to arrive at an agreed upon goal. But we don’t even have the same goal anymore. Different planets.
Where is the compromise between food and poison?

Nah. Never give up! I'd have a beer with my antagonist @rico anytime. We'd probably agree on nothing, but I'd still respect him. As long as he didn't bring Bud Light.
Seriously - we're all just typing into a machine arguing with semi-random strangers. There is always hope - it just needs to happen in real life, not behind a keyboard!

I find that when the conversation is not about politicians, that we agree about a lot more than we disagree. I was just teasing Bucky because he doesn’t seem to think that people are capable of finding common enough ground to make a foundation for progressNah. Never give up! I'd have a beer with my antagonist @rico anytime. We'd probably agree on nothing, but I'd still respect him. As long as he didn't bring Bud Light.

There’s the Bucky we all know and love. who cares about your grandchildren and their children‘s grandchildren. You just can’t be bothered or inconvenienced. Fuck em’ their on the own
The wife and I have no illusions that we are saving the world but I run all my equipment on Propel HPR Diesel (trucks, chipper, and 518 grapple skidder) and they all run as smooth as glass and pull like raped apes. Plus its cheaper than regular diesel. The wife drives an electric vehicle. We use wood for all our heating needs, and all our electricity need are 100% solar ( including cooking and hot water). Inconvience level? Less than zero.
