When you've worked hard, got good grades and provided good exchange with your employers but then lost that job because of "the economy", you can't push kids back inside.

it would seem that voting for the right people is important then?

I don't think it matters which actor clown the real power puts up for the masses to argue over.

We're still sending troops to more and more places to fatten up stock portfolios.

so there you have it.
blame someone else.
it's not YOUR fault.

here's the deal.
you can ignore your civic duty...
not keep yourself informed on the issues.
not even be aware of what your political representative take on those issues are.
not even know who those representatives ARE.
not vote anyway..cause they are all the same.
then complain because the whole thing is a mess.

someone OUGHT TO MAKE a law

and the politician grins and does exactly that.

Your statement presupposes that I've done (or not done) those things you list.

Oddly enough, you're wrong on each point.

The politicians and the ruling class do whatever they want, and they'll make the elections come out just the way they want.

Then they'll use the media to convince the dumb-masses that everything is just peachy.

Oddly enough my presumption was based on your statement.
I don't think it matters which actor clown the real power puts up for the masses to argue over.
if you feel that way why would you bother your self to get involved.
after all...it doesn't matter anyway?

The politicians and the ruling class do whatever they want, and they'll make the elections come out just the way they want.

and yet...Trump was elected.

Assuming a static world, that's a good question!
I have not had any experience with such a thing.
I remember a 14 month period during which I had three really good jobs.
First company closed because the founding brothers had a fight.
Next one I got laid off due to budget cuts.
3rd one, the company went bankrupt and closed due to a lawsuit.
After the third one, it was two years before I had anything better than "retail clerk."

That sux.
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
as soon as the democrat who crashed the economy was gone I'm sure you got a better job.

but in general...
Old saying
"failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part"
(no offense)

My dad done told me..."BOY"...he called me boy. "Keep you prick in your pants until you can afford an offspring"

And I did.
and My brothers did.
and my sons did.

didn't seem like that hard of a thing.

Two thumbs up to that.
I kept my pecker in my pants so well I ended up only having my wife's three by proxy.
The three lost jobs were real... having to unexpectedly feed a family due to sudden changes in circumstances-- that was a hypothetical.
I don't really care whether they are Repooplicans or Degenocrats.
None of them know what's good for anyone who's not wearing THEIR Shoes.

and that's a fact.
rule of thumb...any time the government says a law will do something..expect the opposite.
