Could it get worse under Trump? : NPR [04:15] IsambardPrince MinceR, NPR has a timeline of the inflation. [04:15] IsambardPrince Biden's officials at the treasury, like Yellen, were too busy drinking magic mushroom tea and saying it would be transitory, to respond to it. [04:16] IsambardPrince Then when they responded to it, they had to get more aggressive than should have been necessary, and all these layoffs started happening in short order. [04:16] IsambardPrince Then it wouldn't go away so rates couldn't come down, so we went into a recession and the government lied and said that wasn't happening. [04:17] IsambardPrince Now they cut rates even though inflation is too high, and lie about inflation going down. [04:18] IsambardPrince You really just could not have worse people in power. Or if you could, not much worse. [04:18] IsambardPrince The Biden administration was almost an accident. [04:18] IsambardPrince They didn't think they could win, so they just sort of let him have it. [04:19] IsambardPrince Then he won, and they had no plan, and they cobbled together an administration of Clinton and Obama era washups, and DEI people who brought in trannies who didn't know what their actual jobs were. [04:19] IsambardPrince And they FUCKED everything up. [04:19] IsambardPrince And now Trump's back. [04:20] IsambardPrince People voted for Biden to try to change course on COVID, not to upend a relatively normal country and turn it into an invasion of illegal aliens and gender dysphoric head cases.

[04:24] IsambardPrince It's gotten worse, faster, under Biden, than I've ever seen. [04:28] IsambardPrince MinceR, It probably burns the left that Trump sat down with Israel and Hamas and worked out a ceasefire in one day. [04:28] IsambardPrince When Biden hasn't made any progress on that at all.

"I feel like we're being singled out and targeted in a fashion that's unjust, even though we co-operate [with] this country endlessly." [04:32] IsambardPrince LOL [04:32] IsambardPrince You don't get to trespass in someone else's country and complain when they get tired of it and do something about you. [04:33] IsambardPrince Starting next Sunday there's not going to be anymore euphemisms like "undocumented noncitizen". [04:33] IsambardPrince It's going back to illegal alien and you're gone when we find you. [04:34] IsambardPrince Monday, rather. [04:34] IsambardPrince Anyway. It'll be good when they round them up. [04:34] IsambardPrince Less competition for jobs and places to live. [04:34] IsambardPrince The Catholic church has been helping illegals get apartments and mortgages they're not entitled to. [04:34] MinceR and plenty of motivation for people to act like even bigger assholes toward anyone they perceive as an outsider for whatever reason [04:34] IsambardPrince They openly help them break our laws. [04:35] MinceR but why think about the consequences of your actions when you can just fuck around and find out [04:35] MinceR is it also the catholic church that employs them? [04:35] IsambardPrince No. [04:36] IsambardPrince The Catholic church stole part of my mother's pension to help these people invade the country. [04:36] IsambardPrince They even bought bus tickets for Venezuelans who attacked New York police officers, so they could go to California. [04:36] IsambardPrince They give them immigration attorneys with money they stole from my retired mother. [04:36] IsambardPrince Which they lied and said would be hers. [04:37] IsambardPrince Basically there's nothing you can do to make illegal presence legal. [04:37] IsambardPrince But you can stonewall the system and take advantage of loopholes or things like DACA or TPS. [04:38] IsambardPrince DACA isn't a legal program. There's nothing in the Immigration and Nationality Act that says there's a DACA. [04:38] IsambardPrince Obama just created it with an executive order. [04:38] MinceR so, executive orders are Bad, got it. [04:38] IsambardPrince It was struck down, then there was another ruling that said some people who already had it could keep it, then Trump left before the Supreme Court could rule on it. [04:39] IsambardPrince That won't happen again. [04:39] IsambardPrince DACA isn't a legal status. [04:39] IsambardPrince It's just pay them money and maybe you get a letter that says "We've decided not to prosecute you for two more years, but we can change our mind and this letter won't help you." [04:39] IsambardPrince :D [04:40] IsambardPrince And it costs likee $900 every two years to get that letter, and it lets you have a work permit, even though you can't get Social Security benefits after paying into it. [04:40] IsambardPrince They'll deport you when it's convenient for them. [04:40] IsambardPrince Like when you can't work and pay them $900 every two years anymore and can't get Social Security benefits. [04:41] IsambardPrince See how great this is, MinceR ? [04:41] IsambardPrince They wait until you're old and weak and have been out of Mexico or whereever for 40 years and have nobody there. [04:41] IsambardPrince Then they toss you back in. [04:42] IsambardPrince In the mean time, you've paid hundreds of thousands of dollars into Social Security and Medicare, for citizens. [04:42] IsambardPrince As well as tens of thousands to USCIS. [04:42] IsambardPrince And still never got a green card. [04:43] IsambardPrince When the Catholics help them avoid getting deported right now, with DACA and TPS, they're not necessarily doing them a favor, long term. [04:43] IsambardPrince They simply hope that if they trash our country by clogging it with illegals that eventually something will give and the law will change. [04:44] IsambardPrince But if that doesn't happen, we toss millions of elderly Mexicans who can't work back down in there and keep their social taxes. [04:44] IsambardPrince Some just start working under the table and never pay any taxes. [04:45] IsambardPrince That's even worse because then they have no earnings record they could use to claim Social Security if they became a legal resident later. [04:45] IsambardPrince TPS and DACA are worse for everyone. [04:46] IsambardPrince If Trump ends DACA it will pressure the Democrats to a comprehensive overhaul. [04:46] IsambardPrince If DACA ends they have millions of former recipients and a good idea where they live. [04:48] IsambardPrince "January 21st, you're going to look for a lot of ICE agents in your city looking for criminals and gang members," Homan said. "Count on it. It will happen." [04:48] IsambardPrince Many local politicians, including Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and the state's governor, JB Pritzker, have continued to back sanctuary city laws, dubbed the "Welcoming City" ordinance here. [04:48] IsambardPrince But the policy is not universally loved. In November, Trump made gains in many Latino neighbourhoods. [04:48] IsambardPrince Recently, two Democratic Hispanic lawmakers attempted to change the ordinance and allow some co-operation by Chicago police with federal authorities. Their measure was blocked Wednesday by Johnson and his progressive allies.

It was an overpayment check, but the funds belonged to someone else. [21:39] IsambardPrince [21:39] IsambardPrince So I returned the funds to the rightful entity and just called myself out on the overpayment. They gave me evidence that I returned the overpayment. [21:39] IsambardPrince [21:39] IsambardPrince The woman who manages this told me that it's happened before, and one person was so hard up to pay his mortgage that he just went and cashed it and paid his mortgage with it. They could have brought criminal charges against him for this, but they didn't. She just dog eared him down to the Moneygram place and made him go get a money order, so he still paid it back, but he could have gone to prison for trying to stiff a vendor. [21:40] IsambardPrince [21:40] IsambardPrince The other guy knew he was doing the wrong thing, but like most people who get a mortgage, he finds out that the Real Cost of Home"owner"ship is that everything costs triple what they were lead to believe and they're losing control of it P.D.Q. [21:40] IsambardPrince [21:40] IsambardPrince I'm so happy that I don't end up in this predicament. This is one example of how high debt loads can lead people into high risk situations where they know they're doing something wrong, even illegal, and decide to just take a chance. I'm glad I don't have those pressures." [21:41] IsambardPrince "One of the reasons the service is so bad at Walmart is that a lot of those employees are barely even being paid enough to shop for groceries and pay the landlord, but the stores are also not doing too well and they keep it under wraps. When they have "stealth layoffs", nobody actually gets laid off, they just start firing people who could have been fired for months now and just haven't been. Like, they're supposed to fire you for [21:41] IsambardPrince 4.5 attendance points, but some people have like 60 and then they get all of them in one go and "no layoff". [21:41] IsambardPrince [21:41] IsambardPrince They don't care until they do. But a while back, they started closing stores. They don't ever blame bad decisions by executives. They send in people to close the store down and they give you no notice so that there's no window for sabotage. They did this to four stores in the Chicago area alone all at once. [21:41] IsambardPrince [21:41] IsambardPrince It reminds me a lot of all those factory closures where I lost a string of good jobs to China and Mexico in the 2000s, where they send in some guy you've never seen before to close the place down. His job is he's never seen any of you and won't feel bad about what he's doing there. If people are angry, they'll be angry at him instead of the people who did it. [21:41] IsambardPrince [21:41] IsambardPrince Things haven't improved. If anything, they've gotten a lot worse. So instead of saving and avoiding debt, people spend their money foolishly. [21:41] IsambardPrince [21:41] IsambardPrince I like Dave Ramsey, he paraphrases Proverbs. "In the house of the wise man are stores of choice food and oils, but a fool spends everything he has."" [21:43] IsambardPrince "People used to learn something from failures, some (like Ford and Edison) even said they learned more from their failure than their success. Indiana had a period in the 1800s later called "The Failure" where they took on massive debt to fund infrastructure projects which were very speculative. Nearly all of them failed and the creditors got them back. Few were finished, almost none mattered to the State economy for more than about [21:43] IsambardPrince 50-60 years. People like my landlord didn't even do that well, and never learn anything. The only thing he knows is how to live off of other people's hard work, until he doesn't."
