Suicide and Trumpism

"CA has a high poverty rate if you fudge the numbers, enter in a bunch of different variables, count anyone accepting any state support as in poverty, and only within the narrow prism I am trying to push"

Sorry the facts offend you so much. Go yell at the progressive groups who created the new poverty measure
 
Actually, California having the highest poverty rate has nothing to do with me being conservative. I’ve lived here for 35 years and I follow the news. There are many more articles showing we have the highest poverty rate of you want to see them.

So according to your poverty rate metric, a middle class family in CA whose combined income is $55K a year and whose child qualified for financial assistance at Cal State, is considered below the poverty rate.

Not "facts", just a way of you stretching the definition of poverty to suit your agenda.

In your metric, a family of four whose income is $55K a year is considered below the poverty rate because their child gets financial assistance at a state university.

Would you consider that family in poverty? Be honest.

Well that's progress because before you just said flatly that it was the poverty rate, which it wasn't.

That poverty rate is determined by a combination of income and state assistance programs for families not traditionally considered in poverty.

It's a metric that shows how much state assistance is necessary in order for a family to not live in poverty in CA...so it counts things like tuition breaks, MediCal, and other state assistance programs many Californians you wouldn't consider in poverty, as in poverty.

So really, that metric just shows how shitty wage growth has been.

His problem is simply that he's a lazy fatass who acts in bad faith.

He does it all the time; he tells half the story, he fudges numbers, he moves goalposts, then he plays dumb and obtuse afterward.

He is the only person who would vote for Howard Shultz...that's the kind of garbage person he is.

It should be obvious to even a casual observer that given the manical, triggered state that liberals have been left in after the Hillary loss, and the fragile minds it left in the wake. A lot of people simply can not live in world with trump as president. They don't know why, there is no reaching them with therapy. So off they go into the black hole.

Shame really

poor honkey goyim, the dying demographic

You are correct we liberals are devastated that Putin - I mean Drumpf - is president. We experienced the same sorrow when dubya was given the presidency by the supreme court conservatives. dubya's disastrous 8 years didn't condition us to accept a vile, disgusting, racist, misogynist piece of shit as president. dubya was bad but compared to drumpf he was Lincoln. The good news is that - despite a strong economy and low unemployment - the democrats took back the House and kicked out 40 pathetic miserable trump butt kissing republikkkans in the mid-terms. And watching drumpf cave in to Speaker Nancy Pelosi was wonderful and there will be many more cave ins until the 2020 election.
 
As long as the transgender suicide rate continues to be what it is, no problem.

Did transgenders vote for Trump? Or, maybe how they voted has nothing to do with the suicide rate. Correlation does not mean cause.
 
Hello Heff,

Right out of the CNN notebook.

Make stuff up, then cry cry cry.

The information did not come from CNN. You have no evidence that it was fabricated, nor that any crying was involved.

Without such evidence, it would appear that you are the one making things up.
 
I wonder about the chicken-and-egg question. What gave rise to that resentment and fear, in those locations? I can see how it would be self-reinforcing (e.g., the anti-social tendencies of those cultures alienating people from society, making them more negative and more anti-social). But what's harder to figure out is how that ball got rolling.

Start with Rush, FOX, more talk radio playing on fear and contempt, then loathing of the "other". I saw it as early as 1990-1991 on talk radio. FOX gave it visuals and lots of negative air and spent 20 years POUNDING away. Here we are.
