lol This would have been one of the greatest political Okey-Dokes of all time.
Today in if nothing else, AOC shows how to simply rebuff a conservative outlet's attempt to trash her platform news:
I'm originally from West Virginia. I loved Bourdain, but he gave Trumpists three segments to praise him, but didn't ask the political opinions of the farm-to-table people or minorities.
It worked for the budget punt!
(Won't work here ofc, Trump isn't that stupid.)
Yeah that was a little weird. The town was like quarter/third African American/latino and I can't remember Bourdain interviewing even one on the President.
Wait. Are you telling me that the party that hates giant corporations doesn't hate small businesses? wHAT?
Their hit pieces are aggressively weak. They're really scrambling to try to "head off" this young lady that terrifies them.
This douchebag perfectly encapsulates the 33/34 point gender gap.
I saw this the other day. I've never wanted to punch a twitter post so bad.
To quote my favorite response:
I love how this guy considers Boogie and himself "moderates", because you know they just want to meet in the middle!
This dude accusing Dems of wanting to "Burn it all down" is fucking rich coming from a dude who voted for Trump
Socialist Darling is the new Moderate Darling
Fuck this guy
You'd think Chuck would know how to appeal to Trump by now. God knows everyone else seems to... even Kim Jong Un gets it. But Chuck Schumer? Trying to appeal to Trump's sense of appeasing the whole electorate and unifying the country? As if he would EVER want to do that? Hell, Trump's approval rating would go down if he did that.
The recent With Friends Like These podcast had a pretty good episode about politics as identity instead of politics as policy which I think falls along those same lines.

None of it is real people. It's another laughably bad bot swarm.
I'm completely onboard the "keep lowering unemployment doofuses this is good" train (Trump is about to fuck it all up with the tarriffs though)
Indeed.
This is where wage growth is supposed to fill in and foment competition within the market, as opposed to this loud, collective opining for a cheap and desperate labor force.
These are people you want nowhere near policy creation, regardless of party.
It's why Trump's so ineffective. And why a Dem equivalent would be as well. You need someone who can talk like a dummy without being one.
Sticky wages tho guys :^) T hat's why people tend to leave jobs for better pay elsewhere, which I believe I saw in an article this week, too.
They got a taste of it during the recession and they liked it so much, they wanted it forever
nah, no wall.
how about garland for comprehensive immigration reform
They're also not wrong, there aren't enough skilled employees to meet demand even in a recession.
This is the skills/ability mismatch issue- we have eternal vacancies but there are only so many people capable of actually doing them and even fewer who have chosen to pick up the experience and training.
You are supposed to raise wages you fuckheads
And his link to the 2009 article just further proves my point. 30-45k for an RN roflmao. Perhaps if you paid them what they're worth, you wouldn't have trouble hiring.

Ideally we'd be training more people and reducing the costs of training and education if we actually wanted to do anything about it. "The free market will fix it!" only goes so far.
A lot of employers also want applicants to have far more experience than the job would actually require. They also don't want to pay what the jobs are actually worth. They want a ton of experience for very little money.
Since Garland was never rejected, just vote him in based on his obama nomination :thinkinghard:
The eternally open vacancies falls into "wants are unlimited, resources are limited."
Reducing costs of training/education only helps so much when only so many people are capable of doing it in the first place.
This is what happens when have a pathological refusal to train people for a full decade. Cry more, assholes.
