I wish you and your wife the best of luck in overcoming this. On the bright side, the same administration that Phil is bashing has the economy booming and jobs are easy to come by, everyone is hiring.
When did that economy start to boom? And who is it booming for? 51% of Americans have zero money in savings, median retirement balance is $3,000, average credit card debt is $10,000…
It’s worth keeping in mind that most outer-ring cities of the twin cities are in a much different financial state than the majority of the country. People are struggling.
Sure, it is definitely booming for the ultra rich, and that’s by design.
I won’t spoil the surprise about trickle-down economics and ‘tax breaks for the wealthy’ though!

Vote for someone who doesn’t receive massive contributions from corporations and we might actually see improvements to the lower and middle class. Until then, it will more of the same.
Then there would be nobody to vote for.
FYI- The gold rule has been applicable since the beginning of civilization.
Since the 1950’s??? Seriously? When some people had a 16″ black and white TV, one phone, one car, kids shared bedrooms, hand-me-downs, one bath houses, etc.
I laugh when that argument comes up. I’ll take 2019 over 1950 anyday and everyday.
Now back to my wiener water soup.
Uhhh, if only there a piece of legislation that tried to limit the amount of money candidates receive through SuperPACs and shell companies, while also making it more transparent to American voters who is pulling their strings? Man, it would have been a pretty cool thing to try to pass something like that…I wonder if something like that ever went through the house, maybe even as the very first piece of legislation since the majority flipped to Democrats?
Oh wait, that was like one of the biggest parts of the ‘For the People Act’, the very first piece of legislation passed through the house this year.
It’s almost like there’s a group of senators, one in particular, of a very specific party that won’t allow any legislation to be run through the senate.
I’m starting to think that there is one party that very much wants to keep receiving gigantic sums of moneys from ‘anonymous donors’, and there’s another party that wants that information to be transparent to voters AND limit the amount.
There is an ever growing income gap in the US, and that is by design, but we are reaching a breaking point.
big_g has a great point about unions, but I think you will also find that there is one party that is very much against them, and that might be the party whose ‘base’, would benefit the most from them.
No such thing as loyalty any longer.
at will employment is evil.
