  1. If the us started to spy on the apps then yes, there would be a reason to ban them.

  2. It’s actually sad that the only reason this shirt company stayed afloat was because of one person. I’ve never liked elon, his “inventions” aren’t as great as anyone else believes, his Hyperloop, Tesla semi, things like that.

  3. Jason Day I’m having a great time laughing at these tin foil hat “vigilantes” that don’t know what they’re on about burning down polls for a few years in jaul

  4. The problem with your brilliant input is that he invested using public knowledge that’s open for anyone to see. “Insider trading” my ass

  6. So we can have another republican landslide?

  7. J C if trump loses narrowly, of course he will ask for a recount.

  8. She got the seat because trump picked her, and the republicans most likely will accept her in the senate.

  9. 3) Amazon in paid zero tax because of carry over losses, and assets. However the profits are still subject to income and local taxes, when you hear 0% that’s only referring to corporate tax. And those tax cuts have allowed amazon to pay its workers a lot, the baseline pay for Amazon workers is $15/hr, which is amazing for a low skilled job.

  10. Flavius Belisarius I disagree with term limits for both. The president has one because they are one of if not the most powerful person in the country. Let’s say you have an amazing representative in your district, a lot of people like them. If there was a term limit, say 2 terms, you would have to choose someone else 8 years later. Someone who probably doesn’t represent your community as well. Presidents don’t represent any community, they are like a king. They over watch everything in the country and for the sake of democracy there is a limit. Representatives just don’t have that same power

  11. Obama didn’t slow military spending at all, and low interest rates help bolster investments and grow the economy.

  12. What research?

  13. Do people seriously think it’s reddit behind this? Sure, the initial wave may have been - but the majority of shares are held not by retail investors, but institutions.

  14. Walmart pars it’s employee’s more than the minimum wage, for jobs like stacking shelves and being a cashier (not very skilled jobs). And out of it’s whopping 500 billion dollar revenue, it only profited around 10 billion last year. That means for every dollar they spend, 2 cents is profited - that’s extremely low.

  15. Sharon Massey 10 billion is the profit, it is then divided between shareholders and taxed as income tax when it’s paid out. It employs over 2.2 million people, and to then pay every one of them over the minimum wage - it really adds up. If you can’t live on it (it’s around $25k a year, definitely livable) then leave. It’s a low skill entry level job not meant to feed a family.

  16. Sharon Massey $12/hr can easily be lived on. Especially if you work extra hours. Again, if you don’t like the pay look elsewhere for employment - you cannot expect that a job stacking supermarket shelves is going to allow you to feed you and a family. When I said leave, I meant leave your job. Look somewhere else. Amazon pays its lowest workers $15/hr. You cannot sit here and complain about pay if your working an entry level, low skill and low effort job.

  17. Sharon Massey then become a doctor, something that takes skill and is in high demand. Or start your own business. Or take on a trade. Or look for employment in any number of places. It’s not mine, the governments or those very successful businessmen’s fault that you continue to work a easy worthless job. I’m not referencing YOU in particular, just on general. You work what you are worth.

  18. Sharon Massey let’s look at it this way: supply and demand. It’s a simple concept that’s the basis for capitalism, it regulates everything. The prices of goods, and especially how much a worker is paid. If there are a lot of positions but a low amount of eligible persons, then the job pays more and vice versa. Places like Walmart have much more available workers than they do job openers - and that’s why you get paid low.

  19. Sharon Massey if you look at the economy over time, when slave labour ended the economy started to grow extremely quickly. This can be attributed to released slaves working, making an income which increases not only demand - but they could start their own business as well. Slave labour didn’t lead to innovation, it just let people get free workers. But when people had to compete, that’s when the us innovated. Just look at the US GDP over time.

  20.  @TheM0joDoj0  Obama’s booming economy? It’s great when you become president after a recession because it makes the natural economy bounce back look like your work. Under Obama wages were stagnant, workforce participation dropped, and much more. Under trump wages increased, workforce participation increased and unemployment decreased to its lowest point. His tax cuts and deregulation helped businesses thrive.

  22. Eddy Cruz that’s Iraq, the taliban are similar. They have very little in the way of woman’s rights, they publicly execute anyone that speaks against them. It’s awful.

  28. Lower taxes has lead to unemployment? What stupidity is that, under trump he cut taxes, cut regulations, which lead to millions of jobs being created. On top of that we have seen large increases in workforce participation and in wages.

  29. By cutting taxes now, trumps getting investors to come abs stay in America rather than going overseas. This will mean more tax revenue in the future. What trump should do nuke is cut spending, cut off welfare benefits for those not working (of course once jobs return), or hand these programs like Medicare over to the states.

  30. Edward Dodson the problem with taxes on rent or profits from assets is that when you raise them no one invests or reinvests into your economy. They take their money overseas to places like China where they can almost guarantee a profit due to the double digit growth China’s held for years.

  31. Edward Dodson I know that people who aren’t looking for work aren’t counted, that’s why I also said participation rates have grown. Under Obama, participation in the workforce dropped, under trump it rose. It’s pretty obvious to see that trumps tax plan and deregulation of the economy has opened businesses up, creating more jobs, and increasing wages.

  32. Is he though? Before covid he built the strongest economy the us has ever had - record low unemployment, highest wages. He cut down on border crossings, and started building a border in our south even with a Democrat house. Opportunity zones and the First Step Act pushed funding into poorer communities and reformed the prison system. Covid was bad, no doubt about that. But it’s also not completely his fault. The only thing that could have stopped a hard spread was if the us enforced a quick nation wide lockdown - trump doesn’t have that power. The plan was to keep it below 200 000 - and its looking that way. Now it’s onto rebuilding, and the CARES Act has been very important in rebuilding jobs, and providing to families who have been hurt by this pandemic.

  33. “A president must not only pay attention to an economy or stock market, he must consider the whole people a crises like the Covid-19 pandemic.” A country can only care for people when it has the backing of a strong and stable economy. When big businesses go under, America - and any other country - is hurt. For that reason protecting the economy should always be any goal of any president. Look at this COVID-19 pandemic for example, it’s killed millions of jobs permanently - that’s millions of people who cannot earn an income to care for themselves or contribute anything meaningful to the economy. Trumps goal is to rebuild this economy, by cutting taxes, pushing out stimulus packages, getting rid of payroll taxes. Getting people working and earning an income is a priority, for the economy side of things. He’s supporting America in other ways, his CARES Act provided financial support to families and businesses. He increased the unemployment benefits for families. Now onto crisis’s. COVID-19 is undeniably a downpour in trumps career. The US was heavily underprepared for this pandemic, lacking resources to properly tackle it efficiently. Trump has poured billions into resources. But the only way this could have been stopped is if the us went into a full lockdown... which is legally questionable at best.

  34. No, trump has no say in the judicial proceedings of the officer - it’s beyond his reach as president. He can however try to assist states with controlling these childish riots.

  39. YOU might not think it’s a debatable topic, like I would believe that my ideas are debatable. The thing is, there are many sides to climate change, there’s the deniers and alarmists - which are moth radical. And then theirs people who believe in climate change, but don’t think it’s America’s duty to destroy its economy to prevent a tiny portion of worldwide CO2 emissions.

  41. Yes, tax those who didn’t get destroyed by the pandemic. How dear someone profit during a recession? It’s almost as if these risky investments helped businesses... no, investment is bad. Communism is good.

  43. Or you could give all of that $370 billion to the government and they would spend it within a month. That’s without taking I to account that it’s not $370 billion in cash, it’s mainly in shares which can’t be liquidated. Jeff Bezos “only” has $2.5 billion in liquid wealth.

  46. Encouraging saving means discouraging investment.

  47. ​ @pyglatinhd2494  when you get money, you have three options: save, invest, spend. You cannot do both saving and investing - it's one or the other. Saving means the money is sitting around doing nothing. Look at Japan, it's low inflation rate has lead to it's economy stagnating, wages have stopped growing, and debt is continuing to rise.

  49. They’re eroding because they are becoming upper class jobs. People earn more now than ever before, can buy more things and can live a quality of life multiple times greater than just a couple decades ago

  50.  @madams3478  people going down a class doesn’t mean they are earning less, it could simply mean that everyone around them started earning more. Their quality of life hasn’t changed.
