ParticipantI always thought of it as breathing room so family could take their time deciding what to do with assets after I was gone.
Participant[quote=CA renter][quote=no_such_reality]I’m cynic, there’s very few labor shortages that higher wages won’t resolve.
Trump, like many of the technical consulting houses, can’t hire them, because, IMHO, they don’t want to hire them.[/quote]
Bingo. There is no labor shortage. If the supply of labor isn’t keeping up with demand, then the price (wage) needs to be increased. People are willing and able to admit this regarding nearly every other market; but when it comes to labor, people act as though pricing mechanisms aren’t applicable.[/quote]
Agree about pricing mechanism. We have not been able to fill positions in the past year and have had to resort to temps.
Here’s me: are we offering enough $$$ ?
Management: we already pay top 5% in state.
Me: we’ve had 4 applicants turn us down now, is the
pay ENOUGH?
Management: ..but we already pay top 5% in state…
Me: BUT IS IT ENOUGH?ParticipantWe are going to end up fried by our own nukes and Bannon scouring the countryside with his gun toting alt right army cleansing the ethnically impure through all the smoke and chaos.
Participant[quote=zk]More stupid shit from the trump administration.

I can’t keep up with it all. His national security adviser going off half-cocked. Angering other countries with his ridiculous tweets. Bannon on the national security council. Good god. We’re all in very big trouble. And when I say we, I mean humans.
I wonder how many trump voters are thinking, “my god, what have I done?” If they were stupid enough to vote for him, I guess it’s possible that they’re stupid enough to not see the fascist tendencies he’s already displaying, the disaster that his cabinet is, the damage he’s already causing in our relations with other countries, the problems with his national security council, the dangers of his secretiveness and his vilification of the press, etc.
He claimed that the power, as of the moment of his inaugural speech, was being transferred back to the people. And yet the exact opposite is happening. And the republican congress, afraid of the attacks we’ve all seen trump direct at anyone who disagrees with him, is going along with his agenda.
I predicted a lot of bad things from this administration, but I did not think it would get this bad this fast. Let’s hope he’s just off to a fast start and doesn’t continue to wreck our country at his current pace.[/quote]
Hate to disappoint you but the rabid trump supporters I know are very enthusiastic about everything that has happened so far and are hungry for more.
Participantyeah so to protect the citizens we put ’em on reservations.
ParticipantGetting Mexico to pay for the wall should be easy- just hire contractors from Mexico and stiff them on the payment. Iotw, business as usual for Mr. Trump.
Participant[quote=Rich Toscano]I’d rather spoon my own eyes out with a melon baller.[/quote]
They wanted tanks and missile launchers
Kim Jong Un style lmao.ParticipantAllowing a President to appoint a state governor – now THAT’S unpresidented!
ParticipantTrump has said in the past “we have to keep our talented people.
Participant[quote=FormerSanDiegan]I wouldn’t assume all real estate will benefit.
My “local” favorite REIT is off about 5% since the election.
Realty Income
Symbol: OWas pretty frothy and benefitted from low interest rates. With interest rates increasing or normalizing some of the froth has to come out. Higher growth and higher interest rates might spell the end of the long bull run for commercial REIT investors and yield chasers… for now.[/quote]
Will we see a further rise in rates due to a serial debt repudiater moving in to the oval office?
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=NotCranky]
A good female would have won. It just means he gave up trying to find equality in a personal relationship with women and took candy that he could afford instead. Given that men are behind in the battle of the sexes, that’s not really all that dumb.[/quote]
Makes sense that men like Trump. He has what they want. They are hoping for some trickle down. Assuming that Melania is a 9.5 or 10, don’t Trump supporters who go to bed with 5s feel more than a little depressed? Apparently not.
Trump male supporters feel that democrats act elitist and intellectually superior. But Trump acts superior in the sex department. He clearly says “I don’t think so; I don’t think so” to the types of women his supporters actually have sex with. But his supporters don’t feel any condescension.
I was talking to some women about Trump.
I talked to cleaning ladies in the elevators and all say “el Trump es no bueno”
All the educated women i know or meet hate Trump. Attractive women hate Trump.The only women who support Trump are plain, chubby women. 6 or below, I would say
as evidences by the women we saw at Trump rallies. I wonder what attracts them to Trump.[/quote]They say that 53% of white women voted trump so I guess they voted with the group they felt more solidarity with.
Participant[quote=scaredyclassic]no. america is the almost decent looking chick who happened to fuck the alpha dude thinking maybe he would date her. she listened to his bullshit all night, all about himself. she thought he liked her but really, he was just looking for something to bone. he will ass rape her in the morning kind of consensually, but not really, he’ll just kind of grab it and go for it, and she will just sort of pretend it feels ok. he will come and then move on to fucking other bitches.
but it seemed like he really liked you.
now you have herpes, but on the bright side, its just in your ass.[/quote]
Sodomy is illegal in some states. I can see that woman you mention getting prosecuted. Her ass doesn’t belong to her either.
ParticipantI think I’m gonna go cash/money market tomorrow. All these protests and the coming counter-protests can’t be good for anyone except hardware stores. Can the economy do well with our collective psyche in a funk? Why can’t we keep it peaceful folks?
November 9, 2016 at 11:32 PM in reply to: Electoral College: the disenfranchisement of Californians #803385Participant[quote=AN][quote=outtamojo]Not advocating secession but the irony of ironies more local control of our tax dollars. Why should I be forced to send tax dollars to areas where people like to fly the confederate flag for example.

Isn’t that the whole point of small federal government, so that most of the $ states make will stay in the state? Don’t you see some of the irony there as well? You can’t complain that CA send too much to other states, but then want a bigger federal government. I see irony all around on both side :-D.[/quote]Yah it’s so difficult to identify with just one political party these days
