NJ just elected Murphy, a dem, for governor. Booker is fine. 

The parents care. A family friend of mine runs in the kind of circles that send their children to $40,000 per year preschools. It is a very different world than the one you and I inhabit. 

I’m sorry your parents never explained this to you, but sometimes grownups have to do things they would rather not do because the consequences of not doing so are more problematic than the consequences of doing so.

He’ll get it exactly how you’ve just laid out. It’s becoming clearer by the day that he’s somehow going to profit from this and that is one reason why he clings so tightly to it. 

I agree. If I want to entertain myself with a murder story, there’s plenty of fiction from which I can choose. Something about sitting in my sofa, eating popcorn, and amusing myself by consuming media about an actual person who was brutally murdered doesn’t sit well with my psyche. 

They got too old. Once they hit puberty, Jackson had less and less to do with them and newer, younger boys became his “companions”. 

Exactly. We are quite happy with our insurance which we get through my husband’s job. If the country were to implement a Medicare for All System, the money we currently pay for insurance would not get put back into his paycheck. This is fine so long as x=x.

The 70% tax that AOC speaks of would only tax any money made over 10 million at 70%. Per several tax experts (Mark Mazur, a former Treasury Department official now at the Tax Policy Center, a centrist think tank; Joel Slemrod, a tax expert at the University of Michigan; and Ernie Tedeschi, an economist who served in…

No. Retrofitting every single structure in the United States of America to be energy efficient in ten years time is not possible.

Oh, I fully understand which is why something like the GND pisses me off so much because it IS unrealistic and it IS un-achievable so instead of talking about things and working toward goals that are ACTUALLY achievable, we’re all wasting our time trying to figure out how to retrofit every building in the US to be…

Physically possible to retrofit every building in the United States to be energy efficient? Are you serious with this?

No, they weren’t. But a considerable number of them were. Plus, their assistants, and the people in their mail room, and the people they would have employed to clean the offices, and the people they would have employed in their cafeteria. The fact is, these were 25,000 jobs that are now no longer there. That’s a bad…

There also apparently needs to be an intelligence test before commenting. The jobs were going to software engineers. They make six figures a year, especially in a place like NYC. 

Here’s the thing- she’s not wrong. No matter how much you may want it, the Green New Deal as written is impossible.

I wouldn’t count those chickens just yet. A LOT of her constituents are really pissed off at her for chasing Amazon away. 

Your acquaintance is an asshole because she is taking advantage of desperate parents.

First, stop trying so hard. We know you want your good ally card. K, Jan? Second, it must be EXHAUSTING to constantly look for problems that aren’t there. Chill out.

Being concerned about the age of a POTUS is warranted. Or do you not know that older people have a tendency to die?

You seem to be under the impression that employees do not pay state and local taxes....
