I'm calling BS on the supposed incident at the post office, yes I am opinionated and I do speak my mind, but I have not and do jnot stand across any parking lot ranting at an individual, I'll get in your face

[just-jim]

Jim you are about the most self centered hypocritical azzhole around as if …….blah, blah, blah ….

Vern, I wrote you off - as not having anything cogent to say - long ago.

In 2014 I was working the Carlton Fire - on a fire assignment. I’d been working 14-16 hr days for a couple weeks…in a variety of roles for the Incident Team I was assigned to.

One day, I stood in front of the Winthrop P.O., with maps and an information board….trying to get accurate and helpful information to residents in a confusing and stressful situation.

You stood across the parking lot screaming vile obscenities at me….rather than come and ask questions or have a civil conversation.

Some time later I asked someone - who knows you better than I - what was up with you. They said ‘don’t mind him…he’s just your basic ‘sh*t- shouter’…...he yells and hollers because he doesnt know any better and he thinks it makes him look smart, or look tough…. or something….dont pay him any attention.’

I took their advice, long ago.

From the article:
'By nearly every metric, Bidenomics was a roaring success. It would be a mistake to ignore or forget the lessons that can be gleaned from the administration’s robust economic policy. Their present discontent notwithstanding, Americans will undoubtedly miss this economy when it’s gone.

The seeds of Bidenomics were planted in 2009 when Jared Bernstein, the current chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, or CEA, was hired as the chief economist to then-Vice President Biden. “Our first conversation was about this, and it never left me,” Bernstein recalled. Biden’s economic worldview, as he put it that day, was: “If you’re helping to bake the pie, you ought to get a fair slice.” That’s the heart of Bidenomics, Bernstein said. “The fact is that almost every program and policy that we have promoted can find a connection to that assertion.”


More than a decade later, Biden’s approach hadn’t changed much. “Bidenomics is about building an economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not the top down,” the president said at a 2023 speech in Chicago. He pointed to empowering American workers, promoting competition in private markets, and investing in key domestic industries.

Worker empowerment requires a strong economy, in other words—a point Biden well understood. Early in his administration, in a speech about the American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion legislative package aimed at recovering from Covid, he used the term “full employment” five times. The repetition was no accident: He was calling for a swift return of lost jobs so that anyone who wanted to be employed could find work. Full employment unleashes lots of other positive developments: more bargaining power for workers, higher wages, and better opportunities for groups that face hiring discrimination. Full employment is, in effect, one of the best ways to wrest more pie back for the bakers.

Another way is to encourage unionization. While running for president, he promised to be “the most pro-union president you’ve ever seen,” and in many ways he’s lived up to his own hype. He installed pro-union officials at the National Labor Relations Board who have overseen an aggressive rethinking of the agency’s laws, leading to a doubling of unionization petitions between 2021 and 2024.


Biden also aggressively cracked down on consolidation and corporate power. He put Lina Khan—a young legal scholar whose antitrust work had already made waves—in charge of the Federal Trade Commission. His administration went after junk fees and deceptive practices and encouraged governmental departments to consider how to make markets fairer and more competitive.

Lindsay Owens, executive director of the economic think tank the Groundwork Collaborative, sees Bidenomics as a direct repudiation not just of the tepid federal response to the Great Recession, but of the neoliberal policies that have guided Washington’s thinking for decades and informed how banks were regulated, markets were policed, and the government intervened in the economy. Bidenomics, Owens said, is “a forceful instance of a shifting economic trend,” a realization that prevailing policy “was failing the average American.” Biden embraced big government spending in crises, and the idea that “power matters in the economy.” If corporations have too much—or workers too little—the government should intervene.

The strong economy and tight labor markets that Biden has overseen have dealt workers their best hand in decades.

The Biden administration did intervene. The strong economy and tight labor markets that Biden has overseen have dealt workers their best hand in decades. Biden wasn’t going to let an anemic recovery drip on miserably for years; he and his team had witnessed the recovery from the Great Recession and seen the negative consequences of the government being too timid in its response. “It was clear that we allowed people to languish in unemployment for far too long, and there was long-term scarring,” said Heather Boushey, a member of Biden’s CEA. “One of the things I’m most proud of in this administration is we did not allow that to fester, because we know that that destroys lives,” Boushey said.'

The original article posted by Rideback was NOT about the election. But, you STILL haven’t read it, have you?

You are just ‘sh+t-posting’ about Harris. Talk about ‘mis-direction’! Ha-ha-ha.

Typical Democrat misdirection when originally talking about the recent election and how she "narrowly lost first thing sore loosers bring up is ancient history who gives a rats butt if she won a local , county or state elections, when story was about the national election where she in fact did get her butt kicked. As far as what Offices I have or have not been elected to is of no concern to you or anyone else and has no relevance to the original topic.
Jim you are about the most self centered hypocritical azzhole around as if someone doesn't agree with your head up your arse opinion you seem to feel you have to call the person racist and or exist maybe you need to pull your head out of your bigoted, hypocritical arse

[just-jim]

The article and my copy of the article referenced Your favorite girl that only thing she proved to be capable of was showing she knew how to giggle at anything regardless of the topic, or seriousness, even lost the…..blah blah blah….blah

Yet, Harris WON elections to the District Attorney of San Francisco, then WON election to Att’y General of the largest State in the US. Then WON election to the US Senate. Then WON election to the Vice Presidency of the US. All BEFORE age 56.

Vern - please go ahead and list all the County, State and National offices you WON and held before age 56, OK? Otherwise….keep your racist, sexist blather to yourself,

Amazing how racism and misogyny blinds people...

[Rideback]

The theme of the article is that the Biden admin economy has been a success. Since you didn't read even the headline I'm assuming you didn't read the facts as they were laid out which is why you feel it's necessary to flip the switch and talk about Harris.

The article and my copy of the article referenced Your favorite girl that only thing she proved to be capable of was showing she knew how to giggle at anything regardless of the topic, or seriousness, even lost the supposed swing states so anyone that says narrowly lost is enjoying to many recreational pharmaceuticals and is a denier of reality.

Jingles, no Trump didn't win the popular vote by a margin that would have given him a mandate. The official records show he garnered less than 50% of the vote which is the criteria for a mandate. And in the '16 election Clinton won the popular vote by 48.2% vs Trump's 46.1%.

Biden actually did win a mandate over Trump. He won the popular vote 51.3% to Trump's 46.8%.

The stats in the article are a reflection of reality.

How well can you believe an article that say giggles lost by a narrow margin when she got her arse handed to her…

50.1 % of Americans voted for someone OTHER than the GUILTY FELON/RAPIST Pee-Pants. Who won by the SLIMMEST majority in a Presidential race in nearly 50 years.

There is no ‘mandate’…despite what people who dont understand numbers, such as you, think.

"As Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House, Democrats are licking their wounds—and, inevitably, fighting among themselves. Kamala Harris’s decisive but narrow loss"
