It's really cute the way you BELIEVE a random interwebz poster here has a FRACTION of the credibility of a 100 year old newspaper with the monicker "paper of RECORD."

IOW, all you have is BULLSHIT and memes.

Intelligent people get it. Blue state Nazis like you are barely able to take a p!ss without drowning your pants.

The AGE of a newspaper (YOU UNEDUCATED TWIT) is no barometer of its reliability. So far FoxNews has gotten it right a LOT more than the Treason Times. Today, the TREASON TIMES is no longer a news organization. It is a propaganda wing for the New American Nazi Party, (formerly the Democrats.)

Fox is a cable news company, like CNN. Guess who is kicking the shit out of the other in ratings.

Most intelligent posters here like my memes, but I'm glad they are upsetting to 1diots like you. It's the only REAL mental exercise you twits get.

Very good, numbnuts - the President does preside. What he doesn't do is preside over the duties of Congress and the Senate. 

You see, stupid, the government is not a banana republic. It consists of three separate branches of government; each of which has the power to keep the other two in check. It's a wonderful system that is even surviving this woketard anarchy. We will get through your stupidity, one way or the other, because we're a free country and that's what free countries do - they fight evil.

LIke I said, these goose steppers are children.  Again I doubt if any of them are over the age of 18, and none of them have an IQ that high.

This is clearly a pivot from traditional Republican talking points they’ve never said these things before, in fact they’ve always said the opposite.
 

Everything said in the OP above could he heard in the Occupy Wall Street protests or a Michael Moore film, just Remember how Republicans responded to those:  Any criticism of capitalism is socialism, the “free market” must be allowed to do as it pleases for better or for worse, the most dangerous words in the English language are “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”

As further evidence of Republicans true views, MJT’s recent screed against public investment was so telling that the Biden administration used her words in their latest ad:

The Biden Team Released A Campaign Video Using Only Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Accidentally Complimentary Words
 

Over the weekend, Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to slam Joe Biden. Instead, she inadvertently praised him. Talking to the throngs at the far right Turning Point Action committee, the Georgia lawmaker claimed that it was bad the sitting president was using the government to help struggling Americans. Greene failed so badly that she earned sarcastic praisefrom White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Now the Biden team is using her words in their latest campaign ad.

In the ad, an excerpt from Greene’s speech — which, again, were supposed to be a condemnation — play over inspiring images of Biden and VP Kamala Harris meeting everyday Americans. Here’s what Greene thought made Biden sound bad:

Joe Biden had the largest public investment in social infrastructure and environmental programs that is actually finishing what FDR started, that LBJ expanded on, and Joe Biden is attempting to complete. Programs to address education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid, labor unions, and he still is working on it.

In the post, Biden wrote, simply, “I approve this message.”

The ad is a stark reminder that Republicans tried to stand in the way of a Democratic president’s public policies then, and they’re doing it now.…..

With the wave of AI coming to the labor market in the next 5 to 10 years.. the lines are going to get blurred. A lot of middle class or middle income jobs are going to be done by AI and that is going to cause some ripples in the socioeconomic pond.

I wonder.  I'm old enough to remember when computers were going to make secretaries obsolete and put tonnes of people out of work, and so were bank machines when they came out, and it seems like we hear that every time there's some form of new automation tech.  There may be a few ripples but i suspect that pretty quick things will adapt just fine and it'll be a productivity enhancer, like other tech.

I mean - it's not like we don't use AI a lot right now. It's just going to be a lot more sophisticated.

For example.. soon enough the profession of paralegal is going to be completely AI based. The payroll technician is also quickly being made obsolete. AI does not have transcription errors and it only takes one programmer. Jobs like these where you are basically verifying something are going to go away. this is not like where we went from paper records to digital records. The low level paper pusher is going to be made obsolete.

Possibly but then the people who are doing paralegal work right now will slip into something else related, or wind up being in charge of managing the ai or something like that.  Just like my secretary doesn't take my dictation and type out a letter any more but now they're admin assistants and do similar work where the computer helps them to be more efficient.

All i can tell you is that people argued just as strongly and convincingly in the past that such and such a job would vanish and people would be out of work, but somehow it always seemed to transition.  I'm sure there will be some people put out here and there for a short time but i doubt it will be as big an impact as some think.

OTOH Boomers retiring and dying is already starting to make a giant sucking sound in the job market which will only get louder. And when they finally do kick the bucket, the estates they leave behind will be the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history and the glut of their vacant homes on the market could mean real estate may finally become affordable for working class people again. So that will probably offset any job losses from technological advances.

Probably not. A lot of that wealth is already sucked up by the time they pass, they sell their large home and move into a smaller home, and then sell that and move into assisted living.  A very small percent (like tiny) will live in the homes they aquired when younger until they die.

And further every year we're falling behind in the number of homes we need, so even with that generation passing we still have a shortage.

And a lot of them are choosing to transfer their wealth before their death over the years. In a lot of places if you have to go into one level of care home or another the gov't basically spends everything you own and then covers you, so if you give away your cash and assets to your family first you save all that money. I'm aware of quite a few people doing that.

And of course only about 65 percent of those older people have homes.

The boomers have already been dying. They're already into their 80's and many have passed.  Yet we're not seeing the 'massive wealth transfer' you've talked about.  And we're not going to.

The boomers passing will transfer a bit of wealth to some people but it won't make much of a difference overall.
