I also had to create an account. From my viewpoint, I believe they are being DDOS'ed, and by forcing a login before seeing content allows members of the site to view it without the site going down.
The alternative to this would be to spend more money on better servers, but not sure how this site makes money, so theres that
100%. I have seen the same numbers. The way things are going it is not long until we will basically be slaves. I did not want to go too in depth into income-inequality and how it ties into crony-capitalism, because I did not want to come off as someone who wants to redistribute wealth. For the record I do not want to redistribute wealth. I just think crony capitalism has to be taken care of.
I come from the bottom of society. I was homeless, this is why I feel I understand what some of these people think. I have fought, tooth and nail, to just eek out a small existence and create a family.
I just want to live in peace and raise my family to be good people, get along with my neighbors, and work hard and see the rewards of my hard work.
You have a point. The socialist are good at messaging. There are legitimate critiques of our economic system.
It is my pet peeve, they look at "crony capitalism" and say "Hey, look! See capitalism is bad". And it has nothing to do with capitalism, and everything to do with cronyism.
If Trump could get the young people, by tweaking his message just a tiny bit, I think it would be good. A huge step would be him explaining that what they are upset about is not capitalism, but cronyism. And cronyism = swamp, and I am draining the swamp
Yes, and this happens in all industries. Recently with marijuana, all the farmers who have been growing in cali for years tried to go through the process and got crushed by big money. All of the license money and expensive testing wiped many of them out.
Recently also with vaping. I suspect this is Juuls strategy, after they pulled flavor cartridges from the market. The FDA has been pushing rules and regulations that make it cost an extreme amount of money for someone to bring a new vape juice to market.
This is not capitalism. And as you astutely point out, the "toy safety" bill, is nothing to do with safety. They do these things under the guise of being "good", and fill the bills with language that crush small business/main street
Trump needs to address this. The stock market is soaring and main street is bankrupt. Main Street are Trump people. A high stock market primarily benefits those who are already wealthy. This is the kind of messaging the left uses to get people into their belief system. Trump should tap this messaging to bring over young people. Income inequality is at all time highs and it will only get worse.
