  1.  JB JG  Actually -- surprisingly -- he isn't dumb at all. He will often have better political instincts and moral instincts than a lot of much smarter, much better educated, and much calmer, more articulate people. He is like a South Side Chicago cab driver, bartender, or barber shop owner. It is almost never a waste of time to listen to him rant.

  3.  @FrantiC119  That was what I said. If most people think it is ambiguous, then it is. That's basically definitional in communications theory, sociolinguistics, and all that stuff.

  4. ESPECIALLY moral instincts, came back to underline. Yup. That's Jimmy and Stef.

  5. I understood it right away, but if most people think it's ambiguous -- then it is.

  6. The labor force is approximately 161,000,000, so the number receiving unemployment benefits is about 18% of the total labor force.

  7.  @joshuaprets2044  It's not a dumb comment at all. Cuba has a long tradition of outstanding health care, predating Castro, and Castro paid attention not to destroy it. Simple, historical fact. Sorry if it upsets you.

  8.  DmY808  When you make it so personal, then it is. For YOU. Political economy is not about personal covetousness, envy, optimism, pessimism, or family tragedy and triumph . . . It's about historical and contemporary economic analysis. It's about understanding what has worked better for earlier generations and in other places. IOW, it's not about you. It's first of all about millions of young people ages 17 to 29 who could become a LOST generation. Most of them may never have the chance you had, no matter what they do. They already have debts, they don't find permanent jobs with a future, marry, start families, or leave home, especially while ACA still lets them stay on their parents' insurance. And for what? For whose benefit? How is all this good?
