    I'm praying for a Harris win so I can check out of this place for a while.

    Makes sense in a way since Trump had a book of Hilter’s speeches. Definitely tapping into those dog whistles.

    What do you think the average salary for middle class in USA is? 70k per household ? Tell me they're not just getting by on that salary by today's standards.

    It's good that you're not. Are you personally doing better, about the same, or worse off today than a few years ago?

    That's not the average salary.

    The major difference between decades ago and today is how many people per household are working full time jobs. Median household income has stayed about the same adjusted for inflation. But now it requires more than one person to reach that income per household.


    Moms having to work full time is more about the fact that both parents need to generate an income to survive compared to decades ago more so than women empowerment or feminism.

    Agreed- I have not heard another plausible explanation other than unemployed Haitian outsiders are eating our pets and breathing our air.

    Don't do that, you're old enough to remember. In the early 2000s you could of bought a house (an average/standard house, lets say 3 bedroom, around 1500 sq ft) in a Houston suburb, for 70k. That means your mortgage was about $580. Minimum wage back then was $5.25 (if I remember correctly). So two people working a minimum wage job were able to afford that payment, utilities n food. Now that same house is 200k+

    Economics always plays a part - people en masse will tolerate many evil or terrible things if they believe the politician is able to fix the economy and provide security - still, this isn’t the first or even 5th time the USA has had economic insecurity or a lack of positivity.

    I have tried to explain to conservatives I am friends with that the comments, criminal behaviors and over reach by Trump isn’t good or funny because it sets a bad precedent. This time it’s Trump - it is just as likely next time it will be a radical leftist populist that will come into power and they won’t be laughing then.

    Times change and in the times of economic concerns - the leaders the people turn to are often leftist - especially with the middle class struggling… at some point the Elon Musks, Jeff Bezos and Jamie Diamond’s of the world are no longer viewed as smart - but exploitative and then everyone will get to see what happens.

    I might expand on this more later when I'm not pressed for time, but I simply want & need to focus on myself more.

    Why would anyone who still pushed this narrative even better offended did they were called a bigot?

    Atw why at this point would you be offended by being labeled a bigot?

    Why is your German ass trying to spread hatred of American immigrants? Dude you are one of the few posters I simply don't respect as a human.

    I never said must. I asked for an explanation of the circumstances seen in the photo. I never used it as proof of anything definitive. You misrepresent me. Just as bad as the rest with the lying and gaslighting. Shameful on your part.

    This photo was taken in the summer. Goose season is in the winter. I take it you don’t hunt?

    But you’ve been very nasty in your responses and misrepresented me so Im happy to suspend any rapport with you moving forward.

    She is up 5 points now after the Trump eating pets debate.

    Now polls are not a tell all, but she is trending in the right direction.

    Maybe they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and work harder.

    Sure, which means the middle class is getting erased.

    If you got past the first sentence of Bill Ackman's tweet without either

    Laughing out loud,

    Rolling your eyes and sighing,

    or, most likely, simply wondering what the **** this man is on about

    ...then congratulations, you are very close to the median of a well adjusted American citizen.

    Otherwise if you kept on reading in seriousness without irony, you are in the group of terminally online dead enders who huffs MAGA/Russian Podcasts for breakfast lunch & dinner/is a Nazi etc and are currently costing your party the White House due to your repulsiveness to most people.

    Congratulations.

    You are using one photo of one man who has black skin holding dead geese and saying "this picture makes he story of Hatian immigrants having a pattern of stealing Park geese and killing them plausible".

    And you are doing the stupid "asking questions" thing when Google is far more convenient for that.

    Like seriously what do you get out of that picture even if t was a Hatian immigrant? If one picture of one Hatian immigrant makes you believe a claim of Hatian immigrants do this as a pattern ,the. At that point you shouldn't be b****ing about being called racist.
