So, Schizo is pining for the the good old days? Warning, PDF.
What I find most amusing about Black folks who call themselves “Conservatives”, is that they seem to openly profess the virtues of the slave economy, and seem to miss those days. They have endearing visions of happily singing Negro spirituals and hymns while joyfully picking cotton or tobacco in 110 degree heat.
The whips were just the Massa’s way of expressing his love for his workers. The castrations were just to prevent unnecessary breeding. The noose was God’s way of punishing the wicked and disobedient. It was God’s love that brought the Black Man to America to be taught civilized behavior. If God didn’t want black people to be used as farm machinery, he would have made them White.
Right, Spittles?

More insights on the nationwide rental housing crisis.
“The U.S. home ownership rate is at the lowest level in 25 years and is widely expected to go even lower. That’s not just the result of younger Americans struggling to make ends meet to save for a down payment on a home. It is increasingly the result of middle-aged, higher income Americans choosing to rent.
“Renter growth is now at the highest level in 30 years, and families or married couples ages 45–64 accounted for about twice the share of renter growth as households under age 35, according to a new study by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University. …
“Apartment construction is booming, but much of it is in urban centers, catering to wealthier renters. …
“‘While affordability for moderate income renters is hitting some cities and regions harder than others, an acute shortage of affordable housing for lowest-income renters is being felt everywhere,’ said Chris Herbert, managing director of Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies. ‘Between the record level of rent burdens and the plunging homeownership rate, there is a pressing need to prioritize the nation’s housing challenges in policy debates over the coming year if the country is to make progress toward the national goal of secure, decent and affordable housing for all.'”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: What we have here is market failure, and not just in Seattle, but everywhere in America. Market failures call for government intervention because, by definition, market incentives aren’t working and market forces alone can’t solve the problem. Yes, higher home prices and rents are attracting investment, but private investment is concentrated in the high-end market, where the profits are. Developers can’t profitably build for moderate or low income buyers or renters. Seattle’s development economics illustrate why: Even in the suburbs, buildable lots cost $200,000 to $250,000 for the raw land, and by the time you build a structure on it, regardless of its size, you’ve incurred costs of at least $500,000.

Seems to me there’s a valid third scenario, in which we spend a shit-ton of money and effort combating something that’s cyclical and is going to happen no matter what we do or don’t do, diverting economic resources from things we can actually do something about, and as a result of all this money and effort there isn’t a damned bit of difference observed.
Unless they revise the measurement standards again in order to claim they observed it.

The men who brought us the Confederate flag in the first place were extremely honest about its meaning back in 1861:
A Declaration of the Immediate Causes which Induce and Justify the Secession of the State of Mississippi from the Federal Union
In the momentous step, which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.
Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery – the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product, which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin. …

@ 16
A comparison was made by a relative in a recent conversation to the behavior and methods of the modern American law enforcement system, and that of the Israelis, and that of the British Army in Northern Ireland during the bulk of the 20th century.
It is now completely normal in the United States, for Officers to kick doors in the wee hours of the morning and drop grenades in babies cribs, shoot bedridden old men, shoot people in the back as they are running away or lying prone on the ground after being beaten and roughly searched.
I suppose that would also go to the old Spetznaz in Russia, the Soviet domestic law enforcement body, many who went on to stock the Russian Mafia with literally thousands of well-trained and conditioned men with no other job prospects.
I suppose such things become necessary when hunting terrorists. But when there is a highly visible lack of terrorist activity, what are the Police supposed to do to justify maintaining their massive budgets? This is the same question that was asked after prohibition when the 21st Amendment was passed. All those liquor enforcement agents were going to be left unemployed during the height of the Great Depression. Thousands of them. The War on Drugs®, this was increased to the point where even being found in possession of a minimal quantity of a plant could get one summarily executed on the spot or imprisoned for the rest of one’s natural life.
So, now what are Policemen to do, now that the War on Drugs® is apparently coming to an end and the War on Terror® is turning out to be a major bust and an admittedly total failure in the light of the 4th and 5th Amendments?
There sure as shit aren’t any machine shops, foundries or pizza places in the country to employ them all. Hell, most of them are probably considered unemployable in other professions.

If those secessionists really thought that the “tropical sun” of Mississippi (actually over 6.5 degrees latitude north of the Tropic of Cancer at the state’s southernmost point) was too intense for their “white” skins to bear, they could have moved back to the British Isles or wherever else in Europe their ancestors came from. They would have benefited from sunlight less intense than even the northernmost Yankee realms of Maine and Minnesota, saved the lives of 3/4 million people in the short term, and made lives better for tens of millions in the long term.
In reality, incredibly wimpy pussies to even say that. And a disservice to their constituents — even if didn’t consider the 55% of Mississippi residents in 1860 who were black slaves and couldn’t vote for secessionist convention delegates. 80% of the white minority didn’t own any slaves, and had to work every day under the same fairly hot (not quite) tropical sun that black slaves worked under. But if someone owned a lot of slaves, they not only could avoid having to work outdoors, but also could avoid the Confederate military draft.

They imagine self-driving cars snaking through the streets and Amazon drones dotting the sky, replacing millions of drivers, warehouse stockers, and retail workers.
When an entire area, like Youngstown, suffers from high and prolonged unemployment, problems caused by unemployment move beyond the personal sphere; widespread joblessness shatters neighborhoods and leaches away their civic spirit.
Russo sees Youngstown as the leading edge of a larger trend toward — a working class that swings from task to task in order to make ends meet and suffers a loss of labor rights, bargaining rights, and job security.”

Of course there is no excuse for being ignorant about Sanger. Well DUMMOCRETINS are LIVs due to their daily self-imposed ignorance through reading left wrong libtard web sites.
Imagine how Stupid Solution Steve would react if a Republican had said “Always to me any passionate group is a good group, and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the [insert location here] branch of the Ku Klux Klan in [insert city here]. Stupid Solution Steve’s head would go KAAAAAAAAAAAAABLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
FACT – Of course DUMMOCRETINS want to forget Grand Cyclops 3 Sheets to the Wind Klansman Robert Byrd’s 14-hour filibuster of the Civil Rights Act, and Tennessee’s Al Gore Sr. along with the votes of 21 other Senate Democrats.
FACT – Bill Clinton tried to downplay Grand Cyclops Byrd’s KKK association…
Yeah that fleeting association… An Exalted Cyclops means Byrd was a West Virginian Klan recruiter. In his biography. Byrd didn’t just go as an “innocent bystander” to a couple of meetings no and then. A Kleagle was a recruiter, and he was a recruiter for the KKK for years. Byrd formed a KKK chapter. Byrd formed his specific chapter in 1943. He penned a letter discussing the “vital need” for the Klan in America life even in 1946. Then came the filibuster of both Civil Rights Bills. Yes that old repentant Democrat who then switched parties along with Ernest Fritz Hollings and J. William Fulbright… wait strike that
who then switched parties along with Ernest Fritz Hollings and J. William Fulbrightummm… yeah, they stayed DUMMOCRETIN like Al Gore Sr.FACT – Robert Byrd, talking about that degraded negro race mongrel rujaxoffallthetimestillprovingnuthinappears said:
Puddy wonders if Dylann Roof read this?
FACT – Bill Clinton claimed J. William Fulbright – DUMMOCRETIN Senator from Arkansas, another of those NO Votes to the Civil Rights Acts… Didn’t he switch parties? No your honor!
Gotta go. Stew on those facts,,, more coming tomorrow!

Interesting data and thank you for sharing. Good point, if perhaps premature:
Not all of Obamacare’s features have kicked in. The employer mandate was postponed, for example.
Any shifts of FT to PT may be masked by a growing economy.
So it will be awhile before there’s proof you are correct.
The FT —> PT issue likely will be dwarfed by the issue of the costs of ACA, anyway.

@91 not to mentions that this allows for one to have the same legal financial rights as a heterosexual couple, such a social security benefits, veterans benefits, inheritance benefits, tax benefits, etc, etc. this is about equality and freedom and nothing more for me.
This doesn’t change my life, I may never marry, but at least I have that freedom as an option and am equal.
When churches start to issue marriages licenses then that’s when they can limit their licenses to just who they wish to, until then if the State, as in government, is issuing licenses along with benefits coming with a Stare issued marriage license, then it can’t be limited and discriminated to.
Maybe the church should start to issue certificates called one woman one man certificates to celebrate what they think marriage is limited to, that would be perfectly fine with me.

Your words. Employees starting two years ago lost, past not future tense, all those hours and they’re not getting them back. But at some future date maybe accoding to Piddles that he has to talk about now that his rant about past facts that he just made up and has no evidence to support, there may be something. A predicted something. Like all those other predicted Obamacare disasters that so far haven’t happened. Piddles actually has a crystal ball, wait no, that would be Idolotry.

If civil unions were acceptable to the right why didn’t the right propose that or why wasn’t that a negotiating point for them to offer. I herd no offers of civil unions over marriage. All I heard was one side wanting to deny another side of the same benefits that they themselves take advantage of.

“the costs of ACA, anyway”
Way to ignore skyrocketing healthcare costs that were happening before Obama even ran for the presidency. In case you forgot, Doctor, we were in an era when small firms changed plans nearly every year in a desperate attempt to keep increased insurance costs under control, usually resulting in higher co-pays and deductibles.
Steve spews:
“the costs of ACA, anyway”
I’m sure you’d rather talk about that than what $500K/Year radiologists has done to the cost of health care in America.
Steve spews:
If a radiologist who makes $500K/Year spends just one hour a week posting on a local blog during work hours, that comes to $12,500/Year for blog posting. Two hours a week and that’s more money than a $12/Hour FT worker makes in a year. And our Doctor is so worried about rising healthcare costs as well as how those at the low end of the economic ladder are making too damned much money!!

Remember when y’all were accusing me of being paid by the right to troll here? Look at it this way: For every dollar I don’t earn because I’m here, the feds probably lose about 42-43 cents of it, and I’m only out the rest.
It’s what the left wants, Steve – by hanging out around here I’m earning less and narrowing the income gap. See, the government takes so much my incentive to earn is reduced. One more tax increase on the higher earners and I’ll be as motivated to produce as YLB. It’s not just a bug, it’s a feature!
