The rent thingi s particularly sad....my parents had 4 kids, Mom stayed home, they stick-built a house . Dad was a milkman! In just 60 years we have made a large proportion of our people peons at best. With THEIR money.
and I remember when my kids were little looking for apartments and they were 600 to 800 and I was floored no one I knew and particularly not a single mother could afford such prices
we did a price index thing and reg stuff like shoes and slacks and eggs and milk rent movies stamps etc in 66 and now almost 2500 now was like 750 then
Desantis is the worst! Do you know he wants to lower the flags on state buildings for Rush Limbaugh!
and he is trying to not vaccinate blacks and latins
Many of the posters are questionable. The one about rents verses income is particularly dumb. I guess you think wages should be a function of rents.
thanks for the input no matter how misguided I think that it shows that income is far below what it should be and that companies don't care about workers anymore when I was a kid one person working could support a family of 3 or more and now two incomes still don't do it
what else do you find questionable?????????
@whiskywoman I agee that companies don't care about workers, and I add that they have not for at least 10, and probably 20 years.
Merely because I don't agree with all your examples does not make what I said "misguided". I guess you think you have sole possession of intellect.
@Alienbeing for once you are right
@whiskywoman "For once you are right" What a pompus reply.
@Alienbeing well, look what you give us to compare her to.....it's not "pompous" if it's obvious
@AnneWimsey One could say that.
Let's look at Covid-19 deaths per million
#1 New Jersey - Phil Murphy (Democrat)
#2 New York - Andrew Cuomo (Democrat)
#3 Rhode Island - Gia Ramondo (Democrat)
Looks like you have the wrong 4 governors!
personally guys I vote for abbott since he is mine and the biggest uncaring crook
COMO is pushy and he hid some numbers but he did a pretty good job for the most part ....at least he tried his best while fighting a government tried to ignore us all...... he did not purposely kill millions like trump and some of the other governors who just happen to be republican
@BTHT If you look at deaths per million, Florida ranks #28 out of the 50 states and DC.
Florida's 1407 deaths per million is less than the USA as a whole which is 1550 deaths per million.
How can you try to make DeSantis the worst governor in the USA when:
What has he done to be the worst governor?
@BD66 many many many many horrible things
@BTHT
New York: 47,259 deaths 19,453,561 people
Florida 30,224 deaths 21,477,737 people
I don't understand why are you subtracting 13,382 from New York's death count. Is the the "Oops" when Cuomo sent the Covid-19 patients into the nursing homes, and you want to start over after that.
Even if you do subtract the 13,382 deaths, you still get more deaths in New York than you get in Florida.
Florida has a significantly higher population.
Florida has more elderly people.
Florida's economy has been more open then New York's economy.
I don't see how Cuomo can compete with DeSantis on any of these metrics.
not all dems are great either but they are above republicans hands down
@BD66 I don't agree dems always have the job of cleaning up after repukes
