Inuse to think the greatest risk when flying was crashing. These days I’m not so sure.

AxiosAxios... “Executives of big U.S. companies suggest that the days of most people getting a pay raise are over, and that they also plan to reduce their work forces further.” From the article... “Very few Americans have enjoyed steadily rising pay beyond inflation over the last couple of decades, a shift from prior years in which the working and middle classes enjoyed broad-based wage gains as the economy expanded. Why it matters: Now, executives of big U.S. companies suggest that the days of most people getting a pay raise are over, and that they also plan to reduce their work forces further. Quick take: This was rare, candid and bracing talk from executives atop corporate America, made at a conference Thursday at the Dallas Fed. The message is that Americans should stop waiting for across-the-board pay hikes coinciding with higher corporate profit; to cash in, workers will need to shift to higher-skilled jobs that command more income.” Troy Taylor, CEO of the Coke franchise for Florida, said he is currently adding employees with the idea of later reducing the staff over time "as we invest in automation." Those being hired: technically-skilled people. "It's highly technical just being a driver," he said. The moderator asked the panel whether there would be broad-based wage gains again. "It's just not going to happen," Taylor said. The gains would go mostly to technically-skilled employees, he said. As for a general raise? "Absolutely not in my business," he said. John Stephens, chief financial officer at AT&T, said 20% of the company's employees are call-center workers. He said he doesn't need that many. In addition, he added, "I don't need that many guys to install coaxial cables." Because of the changes coming, AT&T is pushing employees to take nano-degree programs to prepare them for other jobs — either at AT&T or elsewhere.” Glad I’m retired.

My retirement (and my mother's, and my siblings', for that matter) depends on the stock market doing well. I predict another crash one of these days when our top-heavy economy can no longer provide decent jobs for most workers. It ain't going to be pretty. Can't wait till they start cutting social security because there's no taxes coming in to support the system. So much grasping, greed, and shortsightedness on so many people's parts. It's not going to be a pretty world for the rich people when society collapses, either.

Clinton also called for British people to protest when Trump visits the country in July, I don't think she'll be disappointed.

Can't wait till they start cutting social security because there's no taxes coming in to support the system. Social Security is not dependent on the Federal budget or any cuts. There was a substantial surplus in the Social Security fund for years to pay for baby boomers. Various Congress's over the years have borrowed from the surplus for years to pay for military, infrastructure, and this is a debt that has never been repaid. If the Federal government paid these loans back, there would be a substantial surplus. But Ryan and his crews want to change this, in order to fund their own, overly generous pensions.

Coming from the office of potus, (any potus) should not be wishing a happy Memorial Day—it’s an inappropriate sentiment. It’s a day to honor those who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. My favorite sentiment is this one— “The willingness of America's veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.” - Jeff Miller It irks me to no end to see all the “Memorial Day Sales” and it being the official “kick off to summer” “holiday”. 🙁

The sales etc are just so wrong, this is a day of remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Enlighten me. What is it that you think I don't understand? Waste of time. Really it is. What a spectacularly transparent, lazy ass way to claim someone's wrong and then refuse to back it up. Not your first, second, or even third time pulling that either.

Don't make it sound like he's advocating that people who apply for legal asylum are having their children taken away. He said the policy would act as a strong deterrent for families seeking to cross the US border illegally.
Don't want to be separated from your children? Don't break the law. Now that they know what will happen if they come here illegally, if they do it anyway, that is the choice they made and the chance they were willing to take. With their own children. Really? They're taking children away from asylum seekers who present themselves seeking refuge. It's against international law, but these bigots don't care. All they see is Mexicans with babies trying to enter this country. Did you hear what John Kelly said when asked how many refugees ... not "illegal immigrants," but people legally seeking entry into our country to escape war, famine, brutality ... he would allow in per year? ZERO. ETA NYT story on KellyAfter this country was built by people who came here from all over the world, seeking a better life. Including his own family. Contemptible. "according to an administration official" And he's saying he didn't say it.

People people people—why engage? ? Remember only HER interpretation is correct. Only HER sets of “facts” are the only ones to be believed. Remember SHE doesn’t support trump (yeah right). Remember that SHE DOES EXACTLY what trump does, blame Hillary and Obama. Remember, SHE twists stories to try to make her points sound more factual—just today with Elián González—trying to equate trump admin separating families and those seeking asylum with a custody battle (Elián traveled to US with mom & her bf who drowned, Elián was placed (by US authorities ) with his paternal relatives, and then his father in Cuba demanded custody (which was given) the relatives did not want to comply, so unfortunately he was taken by armed officials. But it certainly wasn’t the bullshit lies that she posted elsewhere today. She LIES AND SPINS like trump. You KNOW she will turn anything you state into the same echo chamber liberals bad, wrong, stupid, and continue to post the rhetoric and regurgitate nasty posts. SO WHY ENGAGE!! 😆 In response to: However, I can guarantee that children of families seeking political asylum, many under 2 years old, would not be ripped from their mother's arms by ICE at the border and relocated alone to distant cities under Hilary Clinton. This is not how Americans act, this is not what Americans believe. I said: No, they'd just have a gun pointed at them and terrorize them under a Clinton. Nothing I said was a lie, denial or spin. Not. one. single. thing.The only denial and spin going on there is "your side" trying to pretend the terrorizing of children only happens under Trump. Also the releasing of asylum seeking children to human traffickers was made to look like it happened under Trump (by "your side") as opposed to it actually happening under Obama. Not to mention you, specifically trying to make it look like I'm the one lying and spinning. There it is right up there for all to see the one spinning in this case is YOU trying so desperately to discredit facts you don't like. You are SO completely transparent.

You are laughable at best anymore, and a huge discredit to this forum with your spreading of misinformation and fabricated crapola.

Way to go Mr. President, you really are making America great again.... You know, if you're a Klansmen.” Yup. They're being fined for not following the rules of their employers, not for asking for equality. As I said before, no one is forcing them to stand. If they want to protest while doing their job, the employer's requirement is that they protest by not being on the field for the National Anthem. They are free to protest. They can hold press conferences, organize marches and rallies, speak publicly, etc. It's America, they're free to protest. These are pictures from Obama's term.

Obama out of $20 million for some building or another. He called her an "empty barrel" and claimed he was " stunned" by what she said. Trouble is, it turned out there's video of that very event and she said nothing of the kind. And yet, he still hasn't apologized to Rep. Wilson or retracted his very negative slurs against her. So yeah, I'm not taking his word for anything. He has proven himself a bigot and a liar twelve ways to Sunday, by his own words and actions.
