Yeah, THAT'S the reason problems aren't being solved. Just since Biden got into office.

Holy crap.

We’re living, after all, in an era of unprecedented decline—or so, at least, we’re constantly being told. Open a newspaper or a magazine, browse the nonfiction titles at your bookstore, or click on cable news, and the black tide can easily overwhelm you.

Welcome, as The New Yorker’s George Packer has put it, to the great “unwinding.”

 

[basquebromance]

We sense the trouble in our gut when we tear open our stubbornly flat paychecks. If you live in a big city like Houston, as I now do, you feel the dysfunction in the soles of your feet as you rumble homeward, bouncing along pitted roads or jostling for space on overcrowded subways. Once you do make it home, you confront more ill omens when your bills and bank statements arrive; according to a recent study by the Federal Reserve, 47 percent of Americans now have so little in savings that they couldn’t cover an emergency outlay of just $400. You’re reminded of the problems yet again when your kids walk in the door, having valiantly navigated their underresourced schools. And if they’re lucky enough to get into college, you’ll confront the troubles one more time when their skyrocketing tuition comes due. (Don’t count on them being able to pay you back, either; unlike previous generations, few young Americans today can reasonably expect to make more money in their lifetimes than their parents did.)

Feeling anxious? If so, you’re not alone: 72 percent of Americans still think we are in a recession, and according to a poll taken in December 2022, just a quarter of US citizens think their country is headed in the right direction. Such pessimism is not just an American phenomenon either; another recent survey found that only 38 percent of Russians, 35 percent of Turks, and 20 percent of Frenchmen expect their economic outlook to improve in the next year.

What adds to our dismay is that many of us are still in shock. It wasn’t that long ago that experts and politicians were assuring us that the good times were here to stay. Remember the Aughts, that golden age of progress, progress, and more progress? Fueled by innovation, higher education, and a red-hot real-estate market, America’s economic engine—the world’s mightiest—roared ahead.

Holy crap.

The poison allowed to fester in Ohio--literally--will be the final nail in his political coffin. People are going to die, and die horribly. It's beyond obvious that Democrats don't care.

And of course, all is well with you as long as you can make your "politics is rot" points.

THE PROBLEM OF INEQUALITY!

Inequality promotes corruption, perpetuates poverty, sparks popular unrest, heightens xenophobia, deepens personal despondency, and undermines public faith in democracy and free markets. New research suggests that it’s even harmful to your health: residents of unequal communities tend to have lower life expectancies than people who live in more equitable ones

More recently, the unrest has fueled the rise of unconventional politicians like Bernie Sanders and Spain’s Pablo Iglesias Turrión on the left and Trump and France’s Marine Le Pen on the extreme right.

The answer to all this injustice might seem obvious: we just need to increase economic growth. This strategy worked well in the past; when countries expanded the size of their overall pie, everyone got a bigger slice. That’s what happened in the United States in the immediate postwar years, and that’s what happened in China after it embraced capitalism in the late 1970s and then pulled more than a quarter of a billion people out of poverty.

More recently, however, the formula has broken down; growth alone no longer seems to work its salubrious magic. During the height of China’s 1999–2000 boom, for example, inequality hit unprecedented levels. And something similar has happened in the United States, where precious few Americans have benefited from the country’s recent recovery. (Indeed, as noted earlier, three-quarters of Americans don’t even know we’re in a recovery.) Unemployment may have fallen dramatically, but so have many salaries, especially in service sectors like retail, restaurants, and home health care. Incredible as it sounds, the average American wage (adjusted for inflation) peaked more than four decades ago, in 1973. It’s been falling ever since

According to the economist Robert Reich, the decline in wages has occurred because most of the recent gains in the US economy have been funneled into executive pay, corporate earnings, and the stock market. The US tax system, which heavily favors the rich through its many deductions and loopholes, also hasn’t helped.

But there are deeper explanations for the breakdown in the link between growth and equality. These range from globalization to automation to corruption to a shift in developed countries from manufacturing to financial services, an industry that disproportionately benefits the few at the top. (Finance now accounts for 41 percent of all corporate profits in America, but employs only 6 percent of the workforce.) Recent studies have also linked high inequality with low social mobility, which helps explain why the problem is proving so persistent. According to Alan Krueger, a former chairman of the US Council of Economic Advisers, the best predictor today of how much money young people will earn in their lifetime is what their parents made. That’s not the way America is supposed to work. But that’s the way it now does.

You’d think that all these worrisome trends would have inspired a serious effort by Biden to address them by this point. But for various reasons, there’s been little progress. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, most Americans remain convinced that anyone can make it here if he or she works hard enough—and so they resist openly redistributive policies. (The financial services industry also works diligently to block tax reform and other changes.)

THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM!

Today American universities educate many of the globe’s best young students, yet the US government then sends them home to start businesses and create jobs elsewhere. As a policy, that’s simply nuts, given that 60 percent of the top tech companies in Silicon Valley are run by first- or second-generation immigrants. America’s top CEOs understand the problem; led by Mark Zuckerberg, a number of them have formed a super PAC to fight for reform. Ordinary Americans also get it: according to recent polls, more than 70 percent of them support liberalizing the nation’s immigration laws.

Changing the system would have an enormous material payoff. Most immigrants are ambitious and hardworking—you’d have to be to uproot yourself and your family and transport them halfway around the world. Contrary to conventional wisdom, immigrants don’t steal jobs or depress wages, either. Nor do they increase lawlessness; a September 2022 report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine found that in the US "immigrant men between the ages of eighteen and thirty-nine are incarcerated at a rate one-fourth that of native-born citizens", and research conducted in numerous other countries has found similar results.

Immigrants are also more likely to start new businesses. Were the US to merely formalize the status of the undocumented workers already in the country, another recent study calculated, their higher earning power "would increase net personal income by $30 billion to $36 billion in just three years. All that cash would also generate up to $5.4 billion in new tax revenues, and enough new consumer spending to support 750,000 to 900,000 new jobs."

Yeah.
From my decades of observation and putting the "big picture" puzzle pieces together, the 1980's were our pinnacle. The 80's is when things began a huge downturn all across the board....and so far they have not gotten better. And with the Destroyer Dems and the RINO's in office since then, they've made sure this country gets destroyed in their lifetimes. Trump was a fluke, and he wasn't in their plans to upheave and expose their atrocities. But he did. We had a very short reprieve from the Demonicreeps' deadly destruction against this country.

The Deadly Dems still continue to rewrite laws in locked backrooms, to foster the psychopaths and their rantings, and to rip down the border security of this country for their own personal gains.

As I've stated many times before........WHERE is an assassin when you NEED one!!!

The poison allowed to fester in Ohio--literally--will be the final nail in his political coffin. People are going to die, and die horribly. It's beyond obvious that Democrats don't care.

What should have been done?

Give us your expert opinion on how they should have handled the clean up of a liquid that turns into a gas as soon as it is no longer under pressure or at a very low temperature.

I would say he could die, but then that leaves us with the cackling ho!

Gosh. Maybe they could have cleared out the town as just a step one, you know, offered shelters like they do for hurricanes? And not just told poor people, "Get yourselves hotels"?

Then came 2017: After rail industry donors delivered more than $6 million to GOP campaigns, the Trump administration — backed by rail lobbyists and Senate Republicans — rescinded part of that rule aimed at making better braking systems widespread on the nation’s rails.

Specifically, regulators killed provisions requiring rail cars carrying hazardous flammable materials to be equipped with electronic braking systems to stop trains more quickly than conventional air brakes. Norfolk Southern had previously touted the new technology — known as Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) brakes — for its “potential to reduce train stopping distances by as much as 60 percent over conventional air brake systems.”

Rail Companies Blocked Safety Rules Before Ohio Derailment

Norfolk Southern helped convince government officials to repeal brake rules — and corporate lobbyists watered down hazmat safety regs.

When I was a young teen in Oklahoma we had to evacuate due to a train derailment and no one offered us a penny.

So, as someone that claims to be a a small government conservative your position is that the US Fed Govt should be providing lodging for these people?
