The stock market rising means nothing if you're making $20 an hour and trying to support a family. It's not booming for middle class people. It's failing miserably. And now they get to pay extreme tariffs on the basic goods they need. Good thing the billionaires got tax cuts though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bush_cheney2004 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Chrystia Freeland will be back in Washington D.C this week to try and get Canada's economic tits out of President Trump's tariff wringer yet again. She and her minions have repeatedly failed to get Team Trump to budge on steel and aluminum tariffs. Mexico will also get in on the act, because the politically targeted countervailing tariffs against the U.S. have not had the desired impact on Congress....ineffective. Canada and Mexico want to cut a deal to stop the bleeding. https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2018/06/16/donald-trump-stomps-on-canadas-economy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Bubber lies. That's a shocker. In a free market economy extremely low unemployment = shortage of workers = higher wages to keep the ones you got and to attract new ones. The tax cuts for the middle class also help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-TSS- Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 There has been lately these completely opposite-news of New abortion-laws in different states. This week there was news that Alabama practically bans abortion when as earlier this year New York state passed a law allowing a very late-term abortion. What stops people from travelling for tight abortion-law states to easier abortion-law states? Is it something about not covered by insurance and therefore costing a fortune? If not that then what? I wonder do the white conservative males who push for the tight abortion-laws think that there is not enough black crime in America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week there was news that Alabama practically bans abortion when as earlier this year New York state passed a law allowing a very late-term abortion. There is more legislative activity on abortion to gain a case with standing for federal circuit and ultimately the U.S. Supreme Court to take a run at Roe v. Wade now that the bench is controlled by conservative justices (thanks to Trump). Quote What stops people from travelling for tight abortion-law states to easier abortion-law states? Is it something about not covered by insurance and therefore costing a fortune? If not that then what? No, they can travel freely to other states and have often done so if only because of available clinics/doctors. For years, thousands of Canadian women would cross the border to get abortions in the U.S., less so now with passport/pass card requirements. Travel costs can exceed the cost of a 1st trimester abortion, which can be $350 - $900 depending on the location/clinic. Quote I wonder do the white conservative males who push for the tight abortion-laws think that there is not enough black crime in America. Opposition to abortion is also expressed by a significant portion of African Americans, like other American groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
