Thanks to the tax cuts, hourly rates have risen at whopping 67 cents since last year. So roughly $25 for every 40 hour work week (if you even get 40 hours).

In April, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls
rose by 4 cents to $26.84. Over the year, average hourly earnings have increased by
67 cents, or 2.6 percent. Average hourly earnings of private-sector production and
nonsupervisory employees increased by 5 cents to $22.51 in April. (See tables B-3
and B-8.)


https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

I got this from an article about how Harley Davidson closed down a factory and laid off 800 workers while making $700 million in stock buybacks.

I just want to point out that you are making leaps regarding this article. It doesn't matter though. We will be able to judge the tax cuts effect on the economy a few years for now. As of now, the GDP gains have been pushed higher on the backs of the tax cuts. Whether it will be enough to offset the lack of tax base, we will find out.

But what makes that biased? Isnt it possible that hes being neutral and the Trump administration is just actively incompetent and warrants his description? Prove that his biased views are wrong.

I don't have a problem with the elected officials being bias.... they are under whatever umbrella they are under for a reason.

Some little pissant commentator howver.... shut the fuck up on how you feel about your bias.

Depends on if it's Trump or Obama.

If it's Trump it should be ignored, because there's nothing objectively stupid he can do.

If it's Obama he should be destroyed, and commentators can say what he want because then it's actually objectively stupid.

obviously

But you accuse everyone of bias when they actively report on Trumps stupidity. Its easy to say unbiased people can criticize him, because it SOUNDS reasonable. But then when you say all criticisms are biased, youre essentially saying that no, no one is allowed to criticize Trump.

Fair enough.

Thats harder.

I feel as though it should be minimal to zero tinging one way or the other while writing.

Its possivle to criticize without being caustic or sarcastic.

Name another commentator Ive accused of bias?

I dont respect a damn word CNN or Wash post said because theyve LITERALLY BEEN CAUGHT ALTERING AND DOCTORING FOOTAGE, and (ones like Huff post cause I have eyes) such?

But a journalist (not a pundit) shouldnt be letting his opinion color ANYTHING of what hes saying

NEW YORK TIMES - The Latest: EPA Bars AP, CNN From Summit on Contaminants

Guards barred an AP reporter from passing through a security checkpoint inside the building. When the reporter asked to speak to an EPA public-affairs person, the security guards grabbed the reporter by the shoulders and shoved her forcibly out of the EPA building.

https://mobile.nytimes.com/aponline/2018/05/22/us/politics/ap-us-pruitt-epa-the-latest.html


Friendly reminder that while shutting out the press is important news (especially AP after their recent expos), don't forget that the contaminants are news too.

I have always wondered how people would treat people in these topics if they actually met them in real life.

As far as these forums go, I do not think many here would consider me or you their friends, MWC. lol

I mean, maybe, but I honestly can't see people telling me to go fuck myself and shit if I stated an opinion they didn't like in person.

But, maybe that is my personality. Like, if I met peaf and he was all like "man, fucking trump sucks a dick". I would probably crack a sarcastic joke like "I bet that's why you like him so much oooohhhh!"

On here if you said that, someone would probably lose their fucking minds and moderating posts and shit. In real life, I would be highly surprised if that wasn't laughed at and maybe countered with a witty response of their own.

I can't imagine half of you acting anything like you do in this particular topic in real life.

The only people I really hated here were the people who displayed really gross views about women in the alpha/beta topics (e.g. Realo, though he's thankfully been gone for quite a while). Out of currently active posters probably just Vlado (though he's a self parody so it's hard to take him too seriously).
