grange9ParticipantWell said. I totally agree.
[quote=zk]I predict that the shrinking of the middle class will accelerate.
I predict the lower-middle class, working class, and poor will all be economically worse off.
Trump promises to bring back jobs to the middle class. His policies will have the opposite effect. He’ll hurt unions, which will hurt the middle class. He may cause a trade war, which would hurt the middle class. His lowering of corporate taxes will do nothing for the middle class; it will only help raise corporate profits and widen the gap between worker pay and ceo pay. Health insurance will be more burdensome for the lower middle class and poorer. If he is successful in screwing with medicare (which I predict he will try to do), that will really hurt the lower middle class and poorer.
I predict that international relations will suffer. Possibly a trade war, possibly conflicts over Syria, isis, and North Korea, and with Russia and China.
I predict that he will repeatedly act poorly in response to insults/negative comments, resulting in friction between him/his administration and many other entities: foreign countries, senators, congressman, governors, corporations, unions, government agencies, individuals, etc. And I predict that this friction will, in many cases, result in harm to our country and its people.
I predict he won’t build the wall that he promised, and that whatever pale shadow of that wall he does get built, if any, will not be paid for by Mexico.
I predict that the deplorable tenor he has brought to our national discourse will continue for a couple years, until cooler heads prevail, the tide turns against that kind of talk, he’s no longer cheered for it, and trump himself reins it in. But the damage is done.
I predict more made-for-tv deals like the Carrier one. I predict that they will have negligible effect on anything, except distracting from the real economic issues at hand.
I predict that America’s standing in the world will suffer. We may even no longer be looked at as the leaders of the free world (an outdated term, but that’s what we’re seen as).
I predict that he will continue to lie about easily-verifiable things, and this will cost him credibility around the world, as people learn to doubt anything he says.
I predict that his selection of morons like Ben Carson, scary fucks like Jeff Sessions, lunatics like Michael Flynn, and other assorted jackasses/losers, along with his reliance on family and those who have been loyal to him (regardless of their other merits – or lack thereof) will result in a general condition of infighting, incompetence, conflict, and malevolence in the trump administration.
I predict that the right-wing media will either blame all this on the “liberals,” or they’ll say everything is great, despite it not being great. I predict that trump supporters will buy whichever b.s. they decide to go with.
That’s most of it.
I’m hanging it out there, trump supporters. You can point to all this in 4 years and tell me how wrong I am, if I am (I hope I am).
One more: I predict that no trump supporters will have the guts to make any substantive, positive predictions about trump’s presidency.[/quote]
grange9ParticipantHow are children assigned to elementary schools in RSF and Carmel Valley? For example, if you live in the Roger Rowe zone, do the children still have a choice of elementary schools, like high schools, or are they confined to attending that one school? Likewise, if you live in 92130, do you have a choice of several elementary schools to choose from, or restricted to the nearest one? Thanks.
grange9ParticipantThanks for all the informative comments. The point regarding high speed internet is especially important and not trivial for me. I cannot work from home without fast internet. I have 250Mbps now on fiber broadband, and it would be difficult having speeds under 100Mbps. What sort of internet packages do home have in RSF?
There seems to be many good elementary/middle schools in the district aside from R Roger Rowe. However, my impression is that Torrey Pines and Canyon Crest are by far the best secondary schools in greater San Diego, and I should definitely stay in that high school district.
Del Mar Mesa (92130) looks like a convenient location. But aside from golf course views, which parts have good views and newish houses like Cielo? Everyone seems uniformly against staying in Cielo given the location. I would be curious to hear views from someone who is currently staying there and/or likes it there. Anyone?
