Our current Military Leadership reminds me of... well, of this:

"CEOs now make roughly 325 times as much as a typical worker. In 1965, CEOs were paid just 21 times the average worker's salary."

Which is why workers were paid a living wage up until about 1975; corporate CEOs weren't quite such a success as bloodsuckers.

Not to mention that:

"Worker Wage Impact

Stagnation: Real wages failed to match productivity

Inflation outpaced hourly gains

Living wage erosion over decades

Shift Factors: Decline in union strength
Deregulation of industries

Shareholder-first corporate models"

also:

"The Productivity - Pay Divergence: After 1979, the historic link between worker productivity and typical compensation broke down.

While productivity grew, real working-class wages continued a long-term flat or declining trend.

Declining Labor Share of Income: Proponents of this view point out that the labor share of national income began a long-term structural decline after 1982.

Profits increasingly shifted toward corporate reserves, shareholder returns, and executive compensation rather than employee paychecks.

Weakened Labor Power: The administration's strict stance on unions"most notably exemplified by the firing of striking air traffic controllers in 1981"significantly diminished the bargaining power of labor unions, contributing to wage stagnation for blue-collar and industrial workers.

Widening Inequality: Studies, including 2020 research by economists David Hope and Julian Limberg, indicate that tax cuts for the wealthy primarily increased income inequality without significantly impacting broader job or wage growth." AI

"Many unaccompanied children are facing the prospect of a forced return to dangerous situations in their countries of origin, particularly in Central America, including Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, or even places as unstable as Afghanistan.

Many have relatives in the US whom they could live with, who are vetted by the government and are known as sponsors.

But the second Trump administration has severely restricted this from happening, either through new bureaucratic methods that keep children in custody until they can be deported, or by making prospective sponsors too scared of ICE to come forward.

Adults and families embroiled in the immigration system are subject to potential detention by DHS, while unaccompanied children are supposed to be quickly transferred from that department's agencies into the custody of ORR."

"Adolf Hitler restricted freedom of the press in Germany primarily through the Reichstag Fire Decree issued on February 28, 1933, and later formalized via laws like the Editors Law (Schriftleitergesetz) on October 4, 1933.

The Reichstag Fire Decree: Enacted one day after the Reichstag building fire, President Paul von Hindenburg signed this emergency decree under Hitler's pressure. It suspended constitutional protections for freedom of the press, speech, and assembly.

Banning Opposition Media: The regime immediately shut down Communist and Social Democratic newspapers, confiscated their printing presses, and jailed political opponents without formal charges.

The Editors Law (1933): Introduced by Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, this law required journalists to register on racial and political rosters. It banned Jews and those married to Jews from working in the press.

Daily Censorship Directives: The Propaganda Ministry took direct control over editorial content. Paragraph 14 of the Editors Law made it illegal to publish anything that weakened the Nazi regime."

"The bottom line: Massie and Khanna's victory could renew one of the most disruptive Hill fights of the president's second term " but not until after the critical midterm election.

Khanna's post read, "We will not rest until the Epstein abusers are held accountable and there is justice."

Donald is going to be a Lame Duck after the Mid Terms, easier to shoot down.

Good catch, AU!

Let's go with it.

"Talarico '28!"

(What?)

- it exists.

So does a non-oblivious post from 1Nut, somewhere in some other dimension, surely... but it's so rare as to be totally unimportant.

Voter fraud that changes the results of elections here doesn't exist, and it's not even close to nor trending towards existing.

The only reason you talk about it because Trump lies about it.

"The liberal Yabloko party, the only registered political entity that dared to criticize the war, was removed from the ballot last month by Russia's Supreme Court, and only has a few dozen candidates in the single-constituency races.

Additionally, some anti-war politicians have been imprisoned or forced to flee abroad ahead of the campaign."

And people wonder why Trumpy SO admires Vlad's Russia.

Why, when all the Candidates are yours, you can even have Electronic Voting!

It now appears that Thick as a Brick was prescient album predicting Trumpers.

Of course he had a huge cache of pictures... including the Birthday Porn DJT drew for him, while whispering about their mutual, 'wonderful secret'.

And furthermore, lol... you and your Gen ran away from faux Communist Capitalist Oligarchs in your country, who have turned it into one of the most Corrupt Authoritarian countries on the planet.

All on your watch, 1Runaway. And you're even planning on giving up your DNA and retiring there after your Gen refused to speak out, much less actually protest the takeover.

INut types words, but they are incoherent at the best of times.

... is just what I noted it is; a whiny obfuscation and not an argument of any kind.

You just found a new word, boomer, and decided you'd only ever use it derogatorily. Which is really your only shtick here.

Well, that and being the Perfect Reverse Barometer on EVERY subject imaginable.

- You're admitting you're pissed poverty went down?

I'm admitting that anyone who would type that really had nothing relevant to say.
