President Joe Biden - Kamala Harris Administration

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

It was very low. But substantially higher than the level set by Trump.

How so?

 

[BreatheUT]

Hardly.
My oldest has gotten two promotions/raises in the past year.
My middle got her dream job in May.
My youngest is a freshman in college.

Congrats. I really mean that. No wonder you're full of delusion. Also when you were referring to family I was thinking more mature people in your age group. You point to your kids who you've nurtured as leftists.

 

[BreatheUT]

We've been over this a thousand times.
Trump losing was what was best for this country.
ANYBODY BUT TRUMP!!!
That was stated repeatedly before the election.
How in the world could anyone be surprised?

Stated by whom? The left?

Stated by whom? The left?

Certainly not my wallet, business, or any of the businesses I work with.

That's sad but let's try this:
How about an additional 3 weeks of vacation for a 0.2% decrease in pay?

My life choices are sad to you? Why can't you accept them as legitimate as yours?

Where is this mythical job that would offer me full pay or 3 additional weeks off for just .2% less pay?

Your hypothetical is rapidly approaching my 0 work for 50% pay.

 

[volinbham]

I should have said the correlation coefficient is not 1.
The point remains.
There are situations where one is sacrificed for the sake of the other.

I know of no one who suggested the correlation coefficient was 1.

 

[luthervol]

Doubt.

That's because you're clueless.

 

[luthervol]

Your hatred of Trump runs so deep you'd blow the country up to save it. I thought you a person of reason until I read this. Good God.

Where have you been the last 5 years? Are you new here?
My hatred of Trump has never waivered.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

LOL .... that's rich coming from you. Keep up the dumbassary though ...

 

[luthervol]

How so?

Trump was a horrendously despicable human.

I've nurtured as free thinkers. Which does seem to correlate with leftists more often than not.

I think we concluded that it was about 35 million people.

I'm just trying to get you to acknowledge the obvious point.
But it's beyond tiresome.
I'll leave it at this. Anyone who takes a vacation is sacrificing increased monetary wealth for quality of life.

the obvious point that money in wallet and quality of life are not perfectly correlated? no one has claimed that.

I disagree with your last comment - increased money could have more impact on quality of life than a week off in any number of circumstances from mundane to crucial. For example, that extra week of work may allow me to go to a concert a month that I otherwise could not afford. That extra week of work could pay for a tutor for my child to alleviate their daily stress from math. I could go on.

It's kinda like your reaction that my choice is "sad". You have a personal choice viewpoint but when you start applying to others with absolutes like the last sentence you come across as intolerant of anyone that makes a different choice than you.

Intolerant leftists?????

that's a first.

This place is much more tolerable through the summer months, when Lu Zedong is out of school and rarely, if ever, posts. Apparently, the posited hypothetical falls squarely at the toes of his velcro buddies—he does minimal work for a 100% salary from August-May. Like every leftist, he lives off the back of taxpayers, who are literally paying this clown to stay on VN for hours each day. Today alone, he made 46 posts between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

 

[luthervol]

I am much more concerned with quality of life than with how much money is in my wallet.
They are not as correlated as many of you claim.
If fact, for some of you I can guarantee that it is a negative correlation.

Would you work 2% less for a 1% reduction in pay?

Liar!

It started with this post by me and the idiotic response from Vols13.

I stand by the post.....all the rest is unnecessary noise.

I meant to reply to you with the above.

If you are willing to entertain another question on your position. Could you explain this statement? In particular who might be that "some of you" be and what is the basis of your guarantee?

Trump was a horrendously despicable human.

Not as bad as you.

Luth, your posts and common sense have spit out a an R value of -0.994.

What do we have here? Someone else without a clue? What a doofus.

That seems to be working out so well.

I tell every person I bump into from California that have moved here (more are coming all the time) to please not vote for liberals and ruin this great state. Please remember what you are running from.....stupid leftist policies. They are a failure everytime.
