Twoothy,

Your obsession with me is so incredibly pathetic.

Get a life.

One more thing that contributed to high wages: worker demand. During WWII we lost over 400,000 working age men. Post war thos3 loseses made workers more Val able.

" It didn't in the 50's"

First, don't confuse actual rate vs marginal rate. Second, the 50s were unique. Overseas manufacturing was cratered due to WWII but none of it was fought on out turf. Massive demand existed for US manufactured goods because little else was available during that time. This enabled our manufacturers to pay very high wages to workers. It was great while it lasted. By the time the 70's had rolled around auto manufacturing in particular had grown, fat, lazy and less competitive. It came to a head 8n the 80's when Germany and Japan's auto industries were kicking our butts on our own turf. Big changes had to happen.

Again though, tariffs affect market pricing the same way corporate taxes do. Are you going to try and deny that?

#4. They are very much like a tax. They are imposed on importers but importers simply increase the price to offset the tariffs which ultimately gets paid by the consumer. Ironically, lefties claim this DOESN'T happen when corporate tax rates are increased.

As I understand it, these are those crimes Lemon is being accused of:

Coordinating with the agitators. It's not against the law to receive a tip, show up and report. Even if these agitators were involved in a criminal conspiracy and he find# out, he is not bound by law to alert LE. However, if he coordinates and participates with the agitators, he is now involved in a criminal conspiracy.

Trespassing- a church is implicitly open to the public, particularly during prayer services. Once the commotion got going they were asked to leave. If they didn't quickly do so then they are trespassing at that point. That applies to Lemon as welll.

Intimidation- if Lemon participated i with the agitators, then he would be liable.

Obstruction - according to the prosecution 2 agitators plus Lemon surrounded a pastor. Lemon was close enough that minor physical contact occurred between him and the pastor. This type of obstruction of movement may well fall under the FACE Act.

All in all, I think this is a pretty tough case for the prosecutors to prove he committed crime(s) but it certainly appears as if enough is there to bring charges.

" A citizen journalist maybe:"

Which is what Lemon is at the moment. He doesn't work for any news outlet.

Looks like I made Twoothy cry again, all for posting an article about population decline.

For those of you who have the time, here is a legal breakdown of the charges against Lemon based upon what is known thus far.

#201. So a college degree is what makes one a journalist? I wasn't trying to anger you with my question. I'm trying to ascertain where you draw a line between ias to what qualifies one to be regarded as an independent journalist.

Hopefully = hopefuls.

Last I saw she leads the field of Democrat hopefully in way too early polling.

I've clearly expressed my opinion regarding the shooting on the appropriate thread(s) - based on currently available evidence this agent will likely end up sharing a cell with Derek Chauvin.

That incident is wholly unrelated to what happened 11 days prior. It's about throwing shade on people trying to construct a narrative. Remember, Michael Brown "the gentle giant" and hands up, don't shoot'?

If the same number of MAGA hat agitators barged into a mosque or a PP facility with Andy angus in tow and behaved identically the reaction from the MSM would be nearly 180 degrees opposite as to what we have been seeing with this.

By every measurable metric that is a patently false statement.

He has a history of espousing Communist views. Does that make him a Commie Mayor? We will have to watch and see how he acts in his role when faced with reality.

It looks like I made Clownshack cry.

Clownshack is going to put his mom in a full Nelson tonight so his dad can more easily beat her up for touching zucchini at the grocery store.

The comparison was between the damages (ALL damages, not just monetary as you keep moving toward) caused by the 2020 riots and the J6 riot.

" When you cant refute an argument just make jokes instead"

When you make a ridiculous comparison expect it to followed with much deserved mockery.

" The only people who will care about this are those looking for reasons to engage in character assassination or smears as a means to discredit him and justify the shooting"

They are two separate things. The shooting is it's own event and past actions don't come into play.

What this video does is throw some shade on the claims that Pretti was SO good and wholesome that he made another Theresa look like the demon from "The Excorcist" by comparison. MS Now even went so far as to show an AI altered photo of Pretti that improved his physical appearance.

" America has had many riots, many protests, many damaged businesses. America has only had ONE fascist coup attempt, and it did more damage to the country than all those other riots combined.

" You don't care about small business owners either or you'd be upset that trump's economic are killing them worse than anything related to BLM or covid."

Hoo boy. Your shoulders must be toast moving those goalposts that far.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone with a strong background in Sociology to weigh in. I found this very telling:

" The popular explanations for why birthrates are falling don't work. For those who blame feminism, Iran's total fertility rate of 1.6 is a problem. For those who blame liberalism, North Korea's rate of 1.8 is a problem. For those who blame a lack of state-funded child care, Norway's rate of 1.4 is
A problem.

People who enjoy lives of material abundance unimaginable to their ancestors complain that they don't have the material resources to bring even one child into the world, while the very poorest countries are maintaining above-replacement fertility.

" Yeah if you measure in dollars instead of damage to the country, like a fascist moron.

I cited a lot made re than just dollars. And you act like those dollars don't matter at all. How many innocent bystanders lost their livelihoods as a result of J6? Pkemty of small business owners did in 2020. Like I said before, about 20 were killed during those riots. The only one killed on J6 was a rioter. A true fascist is the one who justifies, defends and even glorifies all of the 2020 carnage. You know, a moron such as yourself.
