Politics

[tarbe]

It is a hallmark of the leftist mind to reverse causality. I haven't any idea at all how they do it, but they do it.

Dr Savage is correct.

I posted this elsewhere but along the CA lines, Delaware has seen an influx of people from high tax NE states like NY, NJ, MD and PA. Same deal as the CA emigres, They bringg their social welfare politics with them, both houses of the legislature are Democrat and all they are intent on doing is pissing away money at problems that will never be fixed. You can't fix stupid.

Delaware is interesting, you have above the canal which us essentially a suburb of Philly. Then you have the rest of the state that is pretty reliably Red. But the larger population is around Philly, so you get the all blue.

Gee, it's almost like giving free shit to people in population centers works when you want blue votes? Make me dictator for 1 year (I'm a zen dictator) and I'll fix it. Get a fu...k...ing JOB!

It's kind of like people moving into the country because they don't like town. Then they try to make it like town. They want fire trucks, leash laws, trash service and the sheriff hanging around more.

Never heard it put quite so well. Very true.

Before I retired, we closed our corporate headquarters in California and moved it to Northern VA. That is a company that is doing 30+ billion in sales annually! We were hardly alone. As part of the process, I had to close one of my campuses in Los Angeles which affected about 450 of my people - the vast majority engineers. With corporate blessing, we offered them a total expense-free transfer to Huntsville, Alabama where we were moving the work. Maybe thirty families took me up on the offer, the remainder preferring to stay in their 1200 square foot "bungalows" and sitting on the 405 for an hour and a half each way to wherever they would find their new jobs. Of the few who decided to take me up on the offer, all tracked me down over the next year or so to say thanks. They were now in 4000 sq ft homes - the vast majority fully paid for with equity from their California sales. They were dumbfounded by the quality of the schools, the culture (just knew everyone in Alabama was a redneck hick), and the direction their lives had changed. And yet, I am sure everyone of them is continuing to vote Democrat as Huntsville takes on an ever bluer hue.

As a Bama resident I’m not going to say thanks for moving them to our state!

Present company excluded, that's being changed gradually too because that's where most of the NY, NY, MD and other high tax states are moving. If I ever hit the lottery, I'm going to rent a billboard on I 95 that says NY, NJ, MD, DC and PA residents considering moving to Delaware, STAY THE HELL HOME. WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE!

I found it interesting how CNN presented this "viral" story vs. how it actually went down aka the whole story:

I was a little confused when I saw this. Was it the USA or Zimbabwe?

GOD WILL PROVIDE"
A young woman brought her fiancé home to meet her parents.
After dinner, her mother told the girl's father to find out about the young man.
The father invited the fiancé to his study for a talk. "So, what are your plans?" the father asked the young man. "I am a biblical scholar," he replied "A biblical scholar, hmmm?" the father said. "Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in?" "I will study," the young man replied, "and God will provide for us." "And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asked the father. "I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replied, "God will provide for us." "And children?" asked the father. "How will you support children?" "Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replied the fiancé.
The conversation proceeded like this...and each time the father questioned, the young idealist insisted that God would provide.
Later, the mother asked, "How did your talk go, honey?"
The father answered, "He's a Democrat. He has no job, he has no plans, and he thinks I'm God."

I posted this on a local news facebook page today, as we were having arguments over the border wall. 2 minutes later, I received another 30 day ban. This meme was reported as hate speech.

I sent a formal protest message to Facebook. The social media overlords decided to lift the ban, and reinstate me.

That's a first!

The left preaches tolerance until it conflicts with their ideology.

I think they may be feeling the heat a little bit and loosening up. Time will tell if they are truly headed in the right direction, or if this is just a blip.

Since they just reported record profits all of the bad PR they have received over the last six months sure hasn't hit then in the pocketbook, yet .
