Rich people controlling government is an oligarchy.


Isn’t this all politicians no matter the party?
I wonder if Fighting Oligarchy means they are fighting themselves since politicians are the biggest oligarchy in the country.
I strive to get at least 10K steps everyday. I’m 65 and there are days when I exceed and those that I don’t make my goal. According to my Garmin Forerunner, I incorporate running, 4.1 today and 3.2 yesterday, and walking to get my steps. During football season, I normally get 25-30+K steps on a Saturday due to running in the morning and walking around campus on gameday.
Congratulations on your retirement!
As one of the little guys, I don't mind seeing Trump raising tariffs on China.

As a Veteran, this is a dumb hill to die on and not worth putting your career on line for. Guess she didn't take the oath of office too seriously.

Woke white women. I'm not sure if they are the worst demographic in the country, but they are up there for sure.


It's not just them. I'm appalled at the number of adults in my age bracket (60's) and up who are protesting.

Who is cutting social security? I am aware of zero legislation or executive action that is cutting social security


Unfortunately, these people only listen to what the media narrative tells them. They don't bother to fact check anything. No one is cutting either social security or medicare as the media outlets such as CNN and MSNBC say. People are so gullible.
Scrambled eggs would be my first thought
One of the things I'm hoping comes out of these tariffs is that restaurants will be forced to start serving domestic and local seafood instead of the unhealthy imported stuff.
I'm far from poor and wouldn't pay 3K for one of those.

I'm OK with California seceding and doing their own trade deals.


Would California seceding from the Union be a bad thing? LOL
I don't regret voting for Trump because he's much better than the alternative. As far as the tariffs go, I'm hoping it forces places that serve crappy imported seafood like Cork’s and their Vietnamese catfish, to start serving domestic.

For LSU it's a tie between Matt Moscona and Glen Guilbeau
I'd rather watch paint dry but, if I had a Tesla, I'd drive by just for yucks.

fat pension no matter what.


I am / was a Federal employee who took advantage of the buyout and have selected retirement. I was a very good employee but I also know that just like anyone else, my job was expendable. No one is above replacement. I chose the buyout because I wasn’t going to work past December which will give me ten years with my agency. When I hit my selected retirement date, I wish I was getting a fat pension but I’m not. I’m thankful for my military retirement, TSP and social security because, without those, my Fed retirement would be just enough to rent a cardboard box under an overpass.

You guys are a bunch of prudes.


Why are those of us who have an opinion different than yours prudes? I am open minded about a lot of things but this issue is not one of them. I feel it's wrong no matter if it's a male or female teacher and, as I stated before, no one will convince me otherwise.
