In unprecedented move, Treasury orders Trump’s name printed on stimulus checks

You're arguing what? That Trump shouldn't get credit? Or dumber still, he is no better than a Bernie Sanders, a Dementia laden Joe Biden or a Nancy Pelosi? STFU!

Trump should get credit for the Stimulus package that is bigger & more Socialist than the Obama Stimulus package you Republicans all complained about.

Yeah, Collectivists just want money, ... other people's money.

Individualists display a startling disregard for the poor & non-working.

Most of your pay check & taxes go toward the elderly's retirement, schooling for children,the disabled who can't work, the Veteran pensions,GI Bill / College, disability, VA hospital etc.

Way to go Republicans, picking on the elderly, school children, the disabled & the veterans.

Of course, some people do abuse the system, they should be forced to work for society, anyways.
Basically, known as Clinton's welfare reform.

While, many North-Western Euro groups like Dutch, Swedes, Danes, Norwegians etc.
come out as Individualist leaning.

It is probably more of Individualist on race, religion, and culture.

They judge people as individuals, which is technically Individualism.

But, in terms of economics, they are pretty middle of the road between Individualism, and Collectivists.

Americans, and people in the UK, come out the most Individualist.

Because they tend to be Individualist on race, but also economic Individualists.

Economic Individualists are exceedingly rare, and mostly are just found in the British ethnics, like English & Scottish.

I suspect, more so in Scots, especially ones in America, who have a thrifty streak.


Personally, I think Individualism is a sign of Autism, they detach themselves from culture, and society.

They also tend to be very one track minded & short sighted like Autistic peoples.

Let me tell you a secret, Frank. Trump voters rejected the republican establishment.WE rejected a solid political field of 15 career repubs for a Washington OUTSIDER.

Donald is the best and most multi talented employee I ever hired. He's an excellent leader, manager and Communications expert. And he works for free! :thup:

Trump is a fucking moron...and is utterly incompetent at almost everything he attempts to do.

I think you are trying to get a rise out of me...and doing a poor job of it. But if, by some weird chance you actually feel the way you described above, then you are just as ignorant as Trump.

If that is the case, allow me to offer my congratulations. Being as ignorant as Trump is a hell of an accomplishment.

:cool:

I do wonder why anyone would voluntarily live in a crime infested shit hole like NY.

New York City probably has a lower per capita rate of crime for EVERY category of crime than any of the major cities in the south where you live, EE.

New York City is relatively crime free compared with much of the country.

I don't doubt you.

1 incident doesn't equate to all of New York.

Been to Florida, not a very tough area in comparison.

More slimy & predators I'll hand you that one.

I've been in a lot of fist fights in NY, but NEVER felt like someone was going to rob me.

Florida's a different story, my mom was on a beach, and some bum was behind her & ran into the bushes when I showed up.

They are fcking predators in Florida.

I felt similar when a guy in Florida who looked homeless was watching us come out, and then walks up, but keeps looking, but then walked away.

I think he was intimidated by my size.

But, absolutely, I think he wanted to rob my dad & myself.

Which proves nothing as I have had similar experiences in shit York city. Hell I even had a cabbie try to shake me down. I am willing to bet for every horror story you have I can match it.

All I can say is I have had nothing but bad experiences in NYC compared with every major city I have spent time in in the US with the Exception of LA It's worse than NY.

I do not doubt what you are saying. But I spend (until the virus hit) dozens of days each year in New York City...and have never encountered a single crime problem. And we are talking bout 30 40- years that I have been a frequent visitor. I also have worked in NYC for a couple of years...and no crime trouble whatever.

And the stats show that New York City is much freer of crime than almost any other large city (and many, many smaller cities) around the country.

The beef against NYC about crime...is phony.

And I want to say this: NYC has lots of hustle and bustle...so most of the time it looks very impersonal. But I have seen as much friendliness and helpfulness in the City as anywhere else I've ever been.

I think the city just gets a bum rap.

LA and NY, while the two biggest cities of course, are so different. Not to suggest it can't be worse than NY. I'm not trying to stand up for LA but why did you think it worse?

In all fairness I've heard a lot of stories about 80's & 90's NYC.

Now, NYC is pretty much safe, except maybe a few sections of the South Bronx & Brownsville you don't want to walk around at night.

What Times Square used to be in terms of danger, Harlem isn't even now.

My friend in Pawling, NY grew up in New Jersey, used to hang out a lot in Times Square and said people chased him shooting his car & someone put a knife into his car window back in the 1980's.

I was a bit surprised, because since I remember Times Square has been safe.

I know Rudy really cleaned the city up. To me NYC is nothing but a big dirty over rated city and I have no desire to go back. But I will admit I like the NY style pizza.

I will confess I don't like big cities. I grew up in Tampa but it is nothing but a big dirty city. with no resemblance to the Tampa I grew up in.
