“Still going strong”

[Echo4]

Well there you go.

Yes. More bullshit from Mr. Jones, disguised as cogent though.

His and your ongoing putting of physical property ahead of people is a big part of the problem. It's why so many residences were razed in the past, in the name of "progress." (One of many liberal well-intentioned disasters was Urban Renewal, done by force and not foresight.) It's why we put petty thieves away for decades while giving white collar criminals fines or minimal jail time.

Inequity drives the first. Greed drives the second. Greed is considered acceptable. Inequity must be punished, but only on the low end.

Equality is what we are asking for.  The world has been slanted greatly towards inequality for so long. 
It's like saying Women shouldn't ask for equal pay because men hold doors open for them at work.

In bambuland women get equal pay, mandated by law.
Equal pay is set at a level...promotion and higher earning level is 'dog eat dog'...everyone fights for themselves.
Women have basically taken over the white collar workplace...it seems.
Many work part time...cheaper for employers.
In the industry in which I worked women working part time basically took over...middle aged and young men were made redundant.
Older men retired and went fishing.
Not so old men found other employment, reskilled.
 
Ten years later the companies realised their mistake and wanted us to come back, we'd all found other employment.
Now the women are being made redundant as the world goes automated and online.

I wonder how hard it is to immigrate to New Zealand.

You can't without a job.

"So, in New York, the doctors were not able to prescribe the hydroxychloroquine. And, the main treatment in New York City in Elmhurst Hospital was to essentially put these patients on a vent. And, they really refused to try any alternative treatments even though they were successful in other states," Olszewski told Bila. "For example, I’m from Florida. My hospital was successfully treating patients with the hydroxychloroquine and the zinc with a completely different number of deaths

Also, I understand they aren't taking immigrants from shithole countries, so...

[REDSTATEWARD]

I could have foreseen Roberts. But never Gorsuch.

From Gorsuch

An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it wouldn’t have questioned in members of a different sex. Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids.”

Imagine that. Relying on the text of Title VII.
Trump vowed to replace Scalia with a Justice of similar visions of the law.
Gorsuch delivered on this one.


Yet, so many conservatives feel differently:

Gee, how surprising that they should feel that way.

Somehow, I don't think they would like laws that permitted discrimination against them for being straight, though!

I don’t know where “ Echo4 “ came from or why.
But his post was pretty stupid since it included the observation

Meghan McCain was among those on the right who celebrated the decision, though. And for the Washington Examiner, Brad Polumbo made the case that while "many conservatives may initially be shocked or dismayed" by Gorsuch's decision, it's actually "based on razor-sharp logic, and it is entirely consistent with the conservative commitment to textualism."

Someone seems to have confused "Many" and "All".

Have you looked into this person's credibility before taking what she says as gospel, or is it good enough that she is telling you something that satisfies your political pov on the matter?

Even the Fox piece you link to points to her possibly not knowing what she is talking about.  Its in the very last paragraph, but at least its there.

[NeedsAdjustments]

Someone seems to have confused "Many" and "All".

There is unquestionably quite a bit of consternation on the Right re: the decision.

Probably in no small part because they think it hurts Trump's chances at reelection.

[Echo4]

That was a pleasant surprise.

You really are challenged by this formatting thing.

That was from UNO, not from Echo4, Ward.

Do learn how to read this forum, please. It would make your statements only somewhat absurd instead of totally absurd.

"If we stopped testing now, we'd have very few cases, if any," said President Trump, exhibiting again his failure to understand that a case that is not identified is still there.

"Our testing is so much bigger and more advanced than any other country (we have done a great job on this!) that it shows more cases. Without testing, or weak testing, we would be showing almost no cases. Testing is a double edged sword - Makes us look bad, but good to have!!!" Trump tweeted.

He fails, as well, to understand that we are 20th among countries with at least a million people, in percentage of people tested (based on total tests, which is misleading). Further, he is in denial about the fact that there are still parts of the country in which getting tested is non-trivial.
