“In 2016, 77.1 percent of the total wealth in the United States was owned by the top 10 percent of earners. In comparison, the lowest 50 percent of earners only owned 1.2 percent of the total wealth.”

This is a sad but probably necessary measure.

The Olympics probably shouldn't be held in a location under a state of emergency order.

No he’s not and neither are you, see I can have opinion also.

Interesting - there is a name for folks like that

You and I used to disagree way back at the infancy of this place. In this case, I applaud you...

Nothing can be more disgusting and totally unamerican the Jan 6...absolutely nothing. I was appalled at how the flag was “used” by the Tea Party.....not even close.

No punishment can be severe enough for those who attack our nations capitol, especially when based on an outlandish and total combo,etc lie. Facts, indisputable.

Everyone can have an opinion....do you have an argument to make or just what you said....basically, I am right, and the rest of you are wrong.

For decades, the drag on demand growth stemming from rising inequality has been compensated for by other economic and policy developments—notably a long-running decline in interest rates. Going forward, however, these compensating mechanisms are likely to fail, which means that the inequality-induced drag on demand would translate directly into slower economic growth overall.

Fact that so many will not be rejoining the workforce is at play as well.

Yep. And it's my right to protest that piece of garbage by not watching, not supporting his despicable acts. Every action results in a reaction.

You are correct.....how will you protest an attack on your country’s capitol, based on a fabricated lie ?

There seems to be a huge double standard in play. One man protests something he believes in and is mucho closer to truth than any reason to attack our nations capitol.

See why some folks posts on here are simply fantasy ?

So in you’re mind everybody approves attack on capital and nobody agrees with kneeling at stupid football game during National Anthem which iMO shouldn’t be played at stupid sporting event, they are NOT hero’s.

You’re wrong again. I haven’t read where one person on this forum approves or agrees with capital attack. So, keep running that political fault hood. NOBODY on here approves of capital attack.

Yet, there are hours and hours of posts condemning unnamed black people, and generalizing about their race...literally thousands of posts, yet Jan 6 seems to be tabu. Can you name a worse, more disgusting act, and the drivers make it even more disgusting.

But, the attacks based on color of skin, you deem non political. Come on....it is the basis for probably 80% of all posts on here...it just goes on and on about how worthless people are, how they live to vandalize.

And just a very few have condemned the attacks on Jan 6 and the reason for the attack. I mean, literally, very few.

How quick so many posters are to jump on one man who stood up for what he believes, but refuse to even address the attack on our country.

THAT is saying a lot. We all know why, but does anybody have the guts to post.

You described the piece of human garbage much nicer than I would. I watched zero regular season games but succumbed and watched a few playoff games. Have not watched an NBA game in years. Was sitting at a bar and they had an NBA game on earlier this year, and all the players had BLM warm up jerseys.. Almost threw up. Cant stand that hypocrite Mark Cuban either

So you’ve added up these hours? I don’t thing so.

No, I saying y8u are political and cannot post without y8u’3e spin. Again NOBODY on this forum agrees with the attack on capital so quite comparing the two.

I object that people are calling human beings garbage because you dislike their politics. The name calling should have stayed in Junior High!

I really don't give 2 sh!ts what the politics are, I notice the behaviors. Is the behavior their politics??? Well if so, they should keep their politics to themselves.
