    If Republicans are home sick with corona virus they cannot vote and Trump can blame the Democrats getting people sick for his loss and walk away from the job he didn’t really want anyway lol

    Good storyline for a movie. Could call it Soylent Blue. Mankind has been reduced to eating Democrats since the coronavirus wiped out all food sources.

    And domestic help.

    Oh, the horror!!!!

    You need to be a bit more specific about which ones you feel are relevant.
    I choose the "metrics" I think are important.
    Trump is a malignant narcissist. I don't care about people? Sure, that's why I taught school for three decades. I didn't have to spend my time that way--I didn't even need the money.
    I'm an economist, investor, and former business owner. Trump isn't doing anything useful for this country.
    Learn what? How to get people hating each other? I led a fight years ago to get rid of a Trump-like (haters, bigots, ignorant policies) school board in a conservative community. I went back and forth between the liberal teachers' union, conservative church groups, business, etc. We put together a plan for going forward where normal politics could begin again. Conservatives took over the school board at the election, and the district and teachers went on to cooperate closely on the creation of school choice, an especially important matter for conservatives. I learned all about Trump types years ago.

    You fought against hate- but you are leading a hate charge today??
    Even then, you say you did this to get rid of people you chose to disagree with. Is that how you bring people together- eliminate all those who don't fit your mold?
    Is "Normal" limited to what you agree with?
    Do you assume that because you teach, you are a good caring teacher? I agree that most are- but I've seen some other motivations that were obviously opposite.
    Sometimes that is an ego thing too and I've seen one teacher who handled it like the students were his subjects, and he had the right to crush their spirits.... in front of other students; humiliate them.

    I think you are the mirror image of what you claim to hate. IF you were an economist, you wouldn't be saying "what metrics", you would know what's important and would recognize those that don't help you hate Trump.

    Bernie Sanders thinks he's a good guy too. He thinks nobody should have to work, should have a good life style and have all kinds of things available free. He thinks those he hates should pay, because they are rich and therefor have no right or say in the matter. Bernie is also a tick- a parasite promoting his lifestyle, seeking to suck the blood of life from those he envies and hates, which he thinks is economically sound. The left has made itself the anti-christ to the evolution and improvement of society. Trump didn't make that happen- they chose it.

    The world has a large number of incompetent people who insist they are right and seek power over those who don't agree. People can't come together over disagreements regarding self destruction, either to our economy, our personal freedom and spirit. Until people in this game can be respectful and discuss with honor and integrity, they will remain enemies. Get the chip off your shoulder and recognize reality, and then people will talk to you.

    Do you think before you post? Presidunce Motor Mouth might plan for different levels COVID-19 disease and what people performing critical jobs require for their protection. We can, for example, make protective devices in short supply (respirators, masks) available to workers who need them. That would mean pulling devices out of the product stream going to normal wholesale and retail channels.

    I'm sure we could come up with page after page of things that need doing to keep the economy going.
    Gosh, I had thought your post was a rather thoughtless defense of this guy...

    Some people have a hard time understanding how so many millennial's have been taught to behave so incredibly poorly.
    How long did you say you were a "teacher"?

    Enjoy your post, and the wit therein. BTW.. it's not "hate" when the Left displays vitriol... it's "righteous indignation" LOL

    I love the narrative--a Trumper "believer" in the Hater-in-Chief...
    School board members voting to illegally summons teachers to appear before the board in public and then firing them for not showing up during their scheduled vacation. Firing teachers based on unsupported allegations before an investigation. Tolerating, even encouraging, religious types to appear in schools with their "messages" for children. Nutballs appeared in junior high schools and told students in one school a rock star was taken to a local hospital where two quarts of semen was pumped out of him. Preteen girls complained to the school office and the school administrator who asked the nutballs to leave the school grounds was summonsed and admonished by senior district management.

    This went on and on, day after day, and we saw teachers leave the district for jobs in nearby districts.

    You bet I wanted to get rid of the school board, especially after I spoke with the board members who refused to even consider toning it down. The board chair took great delight in lecturing me on why we should get used them being in charge. Every last board member, seven including the chair, was gone in the next election.
    We brought a community together, from conservatives to liberals, with an agreement to treat one another with decency. Liberals agreed not to bash conservatives who distanced themselves from the board members, and conservatives who could anticipate winning control of the board agreed to reach out to teachers and the teachers' union.
    Teachers who act like that should find other work. One of the reasons I support school vouchers is government-run schools too often fail to get rid of bad teachers.
    Yeah, and I'm sure you're a great boss. :rolleyes:
    Another idiotic comment. You talked about "metrics" considered by the public, so I asked what you thought those are.

    BTW, I am an economist; you aren't.
    Why don't you nail Crazy Bernie for what he says instead of making up crap?
    You keep the BS coming.
    Bernie has his heart in the right place, but he's a none-too-bright ideologue.
    Trumpers!
    Which upraised hand is yours...?

    You're projecting. I've worked with people across the political spectrum. I don't think you have anything of interest to liberals.

    Your last comment pretty well explains your position- liberals don't care for anything except what they think, and aren't willing to consider that they are the ones off-track.
    The wackier they get- the harder they go down. Since Trump decided to run- that is the end result of every move they've made. The hostility originated with them, has been and is being promoted by them now- and the nation is paying the price for the crude, baseless emotions that they have imposed on society.
    There are basic rules that make human discourse possible or impossible- and liberals think the rules apply to everyone but them.
    I think you are severely out of touch with reality, and don't have a clue.

    BTW, I'm educated enough on economics to have founded 8 companies, and run a small one now that does business in somewhere over 110 countries. We quit counting.
    Three of the six in my family are millionaires because of those businesses. But of course, you took a course, so that's better.... right.
    Check my footnotes for the Kettering quote, to grasp the difference between those who "know" and those who actually do.

    They aren't behaving "incredibly poorly." I found them hard workers, personable, willing to help others--all in all, nice people.
    Decades. You seem to have lost touch with young folks.

    Some young folks for sure- but they are the kind I don't want to be in touch with. But I didn't abandon them- they abandoned the basic values they desperately need, and I won't waste my time trying to embrace those who refuse to grow up, to be realistic, to be responsible.

    You don't have to have any special training to see the deterioration in the younger generations. They don't even know how to like themselves. Responsibility is a dirty word. Self-respect is something they think you get when your social media crap has enough likes and "friends", or is something you can fake- and even lie to yourself about. They really don't know what friends are, because they don't know who they are, don't have the stable or reciprocal values required to support true friendships. Lacking self-respect, many ink themselves and permanently disfigure and mutate their bodies trying to be different, to stand our and get attention. Procrastination is constant about most anything. Myopic vision is equally dominant. There's nothing about such people to admire. They are of course people, they have the same basic attributes that we all have- they just failed to learn how to use them properly, and they aren't interested in doing so. Many are believers in symbolism, meaning you put on a pretense or appearance, a facade, and therefore you are what it implies. The idea of adopting sound values that you can respect in anyone and actually living by them is some kind of fairy tale. Bottom line- they can't cut it on their own, they have to use somebody else. They have to abuse to feel powerful, choose to be entitled to avoid the responsibility of performing and earning, wail of injustice while rationalizing their own injustice to others. They see society as a kind of nanny that is supposed to right the things they think are wrongs, and make them happy. And I'm not talking about all in this age group, but a significant number- and they are the ones throwing us out of balance today. They also have somewhat different perspectives of right and wrong compared to those of the past.

    At any time in history there will be a portion of people that are lost, unable to find a place where they fit; unable to cope with reality. There are more of those today than I've ever seen, and they are worse off- not even close to understanding what they must do to find themselves and get control of their own futures. They tend to be rude, critical of those who have what they can't, envious and hateful at the same time. They insult the kind of people they should be learning from, because they fear treating them with respect somehow diminishes their facade. They aren't willing to learn; they hate the negatives and voids they feel inside, and demand answers from somewhere else- but they want the solutions to their pain to fit neatly into what they already believe. They are unable or unwilling to accept that they have simply made the wrong choices, and are exactly where they have placed themselves in life. Still- the door to the mature adult world is open to them anytime they are ready to grow up and join it.

    Of course not all younger people are in that category, and never have been. But the percentage that is has risen dramatically in the last few decades. So now we have adult bodies being run with dependent and immature minds; grown men thinking and acting like spoiled children. While society can tolerate a degree of such people- it can't function productively with them when the numbers increase. Of course, all such people find themselves and those like them to be worthy, hard workers, personable. That's interdependence; you prop me up, I prop you up. But that kind of mindset can't stand alone, can't take care of itself in the real world- and fully believes it shouldn't have to. They think it is societies job... And that is their problem.

    I didn't make it happen. Trump didn't make it happen. They chose it- granted that increasingly poor parenting in recent generations contributed greatly, but in the end, we all chose who we will be. The truth, the tools with which any of us can navigate life successfully- is available to anyone, in all kinds of forms, it's not secret. But you do have to choose that too; it comes down to accepting the responsibility for yourself instead of blaming others.

    Sadly, the liberals, the progressives, and now the democrats have decided that is just unfair.
