POLL: Politics, Suicide & Depression in America

[sealybobo]

Politics are a mirror of the people - they don't cause the people to feel certain ways (especially in democracies).

Politics has become more extreme because the wealth gap is exploding and 95% of the population have not a clue why they are being left behind, why they are accumulating so much debt yet don't seem to be any farther ahead.

I have said it before - it is the Central Bank (the Fed) and the federal government giving it the 'all clear' to manipulate the economy to the benefit of the wealthy (whether intentionally or not - probably both).

Ever since 2001 (and ESPECIALLY since 2008), the Fed has RUN the economy - specifically, the Equity markets. It is they who have caused the stock markets to explode. But not because of sound fundamentals. But because of stock buybacks (that's when corporations take out huge loans at tiny interest rates and use the money to buyback their own stock. This raises the price of their stock and helps the bottom line look better).
And when stock markets go up - usually it is the wealthy/upper middle classes who most benefit. The poor own zero stock and the middle classes precious little.
This has caused a ginormous growth in millionaires, the poor are growing in number too and the middle class are shrinking.

Look at food stamp usage:

Sure, it's dropped since the end of the Great Recession. But it is still nowhere near where it was before the GR. Yet the stock markets have boomed in that time (though they have flattened out since the Fed started to back off on ZIRP and QE).

And look at the M2 Money Velocity:

Velocity of M2 Money Stock

This chart means that money is not changing hands...FAR less then at any time since at least the 1950's. Why? Because people are not buying things with existing income/savings..they are using new, cheap debt. This slows down the velocity.
And if you notice, usually when the velocity slows down, the economy slows with it.

So, the rich are getting MUCH richer, the economy is semi-stagnating (sub-3% REAL GDP growth) and the rest of the country are falling behind.

BTW - VERY few people are aware of all of this. The media almost NEVER talks about it...and neither do the politicians (Trump did during the campaign - somewhat. But as soon as got into office, he has not said a word about it). And it is - btw - going on around the world in most major economies....it is NOT limited to America.

The bottom line is people are falling farther into debt and are falling farther and farther behind the wealthy. And they don't know why and they are getting sick of it.
So, they are turning to extremes. The right is turning to the Trump extremism. And the left is turning towards socialism.

It is not a decay in society as a whole. It is simply the result of financial situations due to central bank/political elite financial manipulation that are hurting the masses...without their direct knowledge.

It will eventually all end (when the debt bubble pops). But that could take decades...so strap in for a wild, political ride in the meantime.

This is one way the rich have widened the gap between the rich and poor but not the only way

They hire illegals. Illegals flooded in and that floods the market with low wage workers. It kept wages down and the rich hire these illegals.

Tax breaks for the rich

Sending jobs overseas.

Breaking unions

Cuts to social security and Medicare and other social programs.

Buying from China

You’re thinking is backwards, progressives like yourself want to control everybody they disagree with and expect everybody they disagree with the comply to your rule

I showed you 7 ways the rich have widened the gap between us and them.

Typical of you rustic to not give substance and just spew your partisan bs

 

[sealybobo]

If you can’t hold it together because your horse lost a race you really are a puss.

Like people who blow up abortion clinics.

 

[Rustic]

Political dysfunction, suicide, depression and every other problem is due to simple overcrowding. Put too many mice into an area and they have problems.

People are social animals but they interact best in small localized numbers.

I think lack of economic opportunity has a lot to do with it.

Have you ever wondered what all the young black men in the nba and nfl would be doing right now if sports didn’t exist? Some of them would probably be criminals. Economic opportunity kept them out of trouble right?

Same when 35% of America’s workforce was unionized. Anybody could find a good paying job. Today anyone who doesn’t go to school or have connections is stuck in knowheresville and their being told it’s colored people and liberals fault

While it is a nice idea there is nothing to support it.
There are actual experiments done with numerous animals that support too many in one area.
The whole point of the post is we are trying to cram too many into areas and cities then people are comfortable with. Then you add in the technology that brings people more into contact with others. You look back in history people lived in small communities. If they could not get along they moved on. They could even move to a place out on their own. Now it is next to impossible.

There are plenty of options to make a living without paying for tons of college debt. Yes we do need a few burger flippers, hotel maids and other such jobs. If you look around you can find many jobs that pay well. The trucking industry is very short handed, the oil and gas industry is always looking for help. Construction is always available. Manufacturing is slowly coming back.

I don't know anyone that is blaming colored or liberals. I do believe that they question liberals as to the reasoning why they are wanting to allow more uneducated, illegal workers who are taking minimum wage jobs that are disappearing due to automation. They are also allowing them to work for less then minimum wage, which some are saying is not a living wage.

Don’t put illegals on us just because trump took on the issue to woo racist white voters. Your party is divided too. Bush and Reagan both passed or pushed for amnesty. And republicans refuse to address the real problem, illegal employers.

I can show you liberal op Eds from 2006 that explain how your minute men on the border were ignored during the bush years and work raids stopped. Now trump is playing the other side of the gop. The people who don’t like illegals here. Well guess what? Neither do we. You’re being duped. Republicans take a position and now we’re supposed to take the opposite? Not taking the bait. I agree. I don’t like illegal employers. They’re the ones drawing illegals here.

The real problem is diseased illegal aliens that have no right to be here

What’s wrong with the gap between rich and poor? Most people get what they deserve

 

[Rustic]

The cult of intersectionality. Go ahead and laugh it off like you always do but this line of reasoning has a stranglehold on the left in America and western civilization in general.

Link to news of this book burning?

Stop taking me so literally. There has book burning events at college campuses but probably not on a wide enough scale to worry about. The point is, is that the left has completely rejected the old way of doing things in favor of this new ideology that blames masculinity and "whiteness" for all of the "problems" in this decadent age of prosperity brought about by those old, dead white men.

Sorry but the old way where 99% of the ceos being white males is over. I know to you those were the good old days but we are evolving

They were the good old days for everyone.

I loved those days. Poor men could find work that would pay a living wage. Enough money to buy a home and raise a family. Women didn’t have to work. Every man could provide for his family. Poor people were like Archie bunker or my grandparents

My grandfather was able to start a restaurant with very little money to start.

They got good interest on their savings. Healthcare was affordable. Labor laws, social security, Medicare, pensions, union job protections and wages. Low cost of living. The rich paid their fair share.

That is ridiculous, your entitlement mentality makes you sound like a fucking pussy

If you don’t know or care about the state of the middle class that’s cool. I just can’t go along. And there’s a lot more of us than you rich white men.

 

[Rustic]

Suicide rates are probably increasing due to increasing dependence on psychoactive drugs in the place of good diet and exercise for many people.

Of fucking course, they have their place, but they are vastly over surprised.

The human condition is not that we are happy 24/7.

Social media is also not helping.

People get sad....go for a run, smoke a joint, have an orgasm, eat a cookie and take a nap...you’ll be fine.

Republicans said race relations got worse on Obama’s watch and suggested it was his fault

So this spike in overdoses, suicides and rampages must be trumps fault. He stokes the fire. He fans the flames.

Lol
Getting along is way overrated… Life isn’t supposed to be fair. Back to your safe space

He is also responsible for gluten allergies, the pos.

I’m just pointing out if hillary were president you’d be pinning this on her.

And I remember presidents don’t have anything to do with the economy is what you said when obama was fixing George Bush’s mess. Today you credit trump.

People don’t see the hypocrisy

Lol
You do realize there would be no trump if there was no Obama… Obama and his fucked up hope and change inspired hate and violence

They were the good old days for everyone.

I loved those days. Poor men could find work that would pay a living wage. Enough money to buy a home and raise a family. Women didn’t have to work. Every man could provide for his family. Poor people were like Archie bunker or my grandparents

My grandfather was able to start a restaurant with very little money to start.

They got good interest on their savings. Healthcare was affordable. Labor laws, social security, Medicare, pensions, union job protections and wages. Low cost of living. The rich paid their fair share.

That is ridiculous, your entitlement mentality makes you sound like a fucking pussy

It only cost $5k a year for college in the 1990s

Healthcare was affordable

My dad got a pension and social security and Medicare

Those were the days.

I could’ve went to college for free because I’m an American Indian but I chose not to.
Self-employment is a much better gig for me...

I have no right to healthcare for me and my family, but I do have a right to earn health care for me and my family.

I just soon not have stuff given to me for nothing, the collective never has my best interest in mind for me and my family.

You definitely have entitlement mentality

Suicide rates are probably increasing due to increasing dependence on psychoactive drugs in the place of good diet and exercise for many people.

Of fucking course, they have their place, but they are vastly over surprised.

The human condition is not that we are happy 24/7.

Social media is also not helping.

People get sad....go for a run, smoke a joint, have an orgasm, eat a cookie and take a nap...you’ll be fine.

Republicans said race relations got worse on Obama’s watch and suggested it was his fault

So this spike in overdoses, suicides and rampages must be trumps fault. He stokes the fire. He fans the flames.

He is also responsible for gluten allergies, the pos.

I’m just pointing out if hillary were president you’d be pinning this on her.

And I remember presidents don’t have anything to do with the economy is what you said when obama was fixing George Bush’s mess. Today you credit trump.

People don’t see the hypocrisy

Lol
You do realize there would be no trump if there was no Obama… Obama and his fucked up hope and change inspired hate and violence

We can’t help how you reacted to a democratic president.

Why did trump beat all the republicans he ran against?

because they were PC pussies.

You’re thinking is backwards, progressives like yourself want to control everybody they disagree with and expect everybody they disagree with the comply to your rule

I showed you 7 ways the rich have widened the gap between us and them.

Typical of you rustic to not give substance and just spew your partisan bs

What’s wrong with the gap between rich and poor? Most people get what they deserve

If you don’t know or care about the state of the middle class that’s cool. I just can’t go along. And there’s a lot more of us than you rich white men.

Lol
You do realize I’m not a Caucasian.
And yes all you white people look the same

What are you an Asian?

American Indian...

Sorry but the old way where 99% of the ceos being white males is over. I know to you those were the good old days but we are evolving

They were the good old days for everyone.

I loved those days. Poor men could find work that would pay a living wage. Enough money to buy a home and raise a family. Women didn’t have to work. Every man could provide for his family. Poor people were like Archie bunker or my grandparents

My grandfather was able to start a restaurant with very little money to start.

They got good interest on their savings. Healthcare was affordable. Labor laws, social security, Medicare, pensions, union job protections and wages. Low cost of living. The rich paid their fair share.

That is ridiculous, your entitlement mentality makes you sound like a fucking pussy

It only cost $5k a year for college in the 1990s

Healthcare was affordable

My dad got a pension and social security and Medicare

Those were the days.

I could’ve went to college for free because I’m an American Indian but I chose not to.
Self-employment is a much better gig for me...

I have no right to healthcare for me and my family, but I do have a right to earn health care for me and my family.

I just soon not have stuff given to me for nothing, the collective never has my best interest in mind for all my families.

You definitely have entitlement mentality

That mentality created a middle class the world had never seen before.

The middle class owned michigan. Flint Saginaw and Detroit all boomed. Then republicans started sending jobs overseas. Said union wages were too expensive.

Today the middle class is still struggling. The economy is great for rich people but maga you have not. Not for them.

I’m doing great but I was in 2015 and 2016. Long before trump.

See that’s the problem for me I want nothing to do with that type of collective living. There’s no way I can benefit from it and my family certainly cannot...
I grew up on the Indian reservation, any type of collective, socialist, village living is repugnant to me...
