Republican Clown Car

Yes, my blood, sweat and tears to pay for others! That's current America for ya!

 

I'm not even remotely concerned about answering for the things I've done.

 

Remember when the media was saying that Jeb Bush would face no significant competition for the GOP nomination? Some recent polls now show him as low as 7th place. His numbers have been in free fall since the debate, while Carly Fiorina has been kicking ass.

 

Did I see correctly earlier on the net? Trump is taking Jessie Ventura as his running mate? I saw it for a minute, I thought...and could not believe my eyes....
Really?
If so, I am disappointed in JV.

 

This is unrelated, but I have to wonder why some people are so keen on giving the elderly discounts when they're the ones with all the money. If they were working during the 70s and 80s, they reaped the benefits of the peak years of the American economy where jobs were plentiful, money went a lot further and you didn't need to spend thousands of dollars you didn't have to get a well-paying job... and oh yeah, their homes/properties increased exponentially in value.

Young people are the ones who need your charity!

 

Jessie said he'd like to be Trump's running mate. He also said he liked Bernie Sanders. Go figure.

 

I don't want to see an old person fall or get hurt doing something I can do in a matter of minutes or hour(s). Just not worth it and it helps them out. Not all old people have money.

 

I work in geriatric healthcare and I can tell ya elderly people do not have as much money as you think. Healthcare is really unaffordable and the elderly need a lot more of it than young people.

 

We've let many older folks make payments that they can afford, say over a year or more. It's worked just fine. (you don't have a good roof--you
have yourself some serious trouble.)

 

In addition to the other reasons already posted......part of it may depend on your line of work and your market. When we did a lot of residential work, we obviously needed property owners to hire us. Younger people are a lot less likely to own property and also be able to afford to hire us. But there are a fairly high percentage of older people around here who own property and are more than likely not in much of a hurry to do the work we do for themselves. Many of them have lived here for a long time, they know lots of others like themselves and they will talk about the job you did to people they know. So...target your market and give them as many reasons as you can for positive "word of mouth".

The little bit you lose on the discount is worth every penny in the long run and....as an added bonus....we eventually cut our advertising budget to almost nothing so we saved a lot of money on that end.

 

We've done that a good number of times too but not usually for over a year. I've only had to sue one customer and that person was around 30 or so.

 

Main thing that I notice about his philosophy is that it is centered around selfishness and taking advantance of government and society where you can. Now, I am all for someone living their life their way. I can tolerate selfish people or people that only think about their own and find that an excuse to take advantance of everyone else. It is just that if a majority of people in a country live like that other people gonna suffer and die because of it. Which (ideally I guess... silly me) could be completely unnecessary. With a majority of people with that philosophy though, it becomes unavoidable and perhaps seem so hopeless that it is better to join in. It's a great excuse to say fuck it to others.

 

There is a certain irony that this crude, dull-witted moron can only summon the most juvenile, lightweight invectives to hurl at opponents and they actually describe his own shortcomings.

 

It's so pitiful that so many con voters really buy Trump's promise to make Mexico pay for a border wall. He's also promising to end citizenship for immigrants born in this country. I have a better change of winning the mega millions lottery than either of these two things happening.

 

After weeks of smoke and bluster and almost nothing else, Trump finally gave some policy specifics yesterday to Chuck Todd on NBC. It was interesting. Not quite as bad as I expected.

Have you heard the rumor that Trump is only running because Bill Clinton has some dirt on him, and told him he had to run, to destroy the GOP from the inside? :rofl: I'm skeptical, but if it's true, it could turn out to be one of the most astounding, impressive, amazing political dirty tricks of all time, and surely Bill's greatest masterpiece.

 

Old Southern saying, when you point the finger at someone, you have three more pointing back at yourself. Definitely true with Trump.

 

A wall is a good idea, because ladders and shovels are virtually unknown to Mexicans.

 

I recently saw a TV interview in which he tells the interviewer that he was actually a very good student. I don't know if he means college or before, but at least he's got that going for him.

 

Honestly? I'm actually not that skeptical. It would explain why Trump threatened to run as an independent in the first 15 minutes of the debate. If he runs as an independent it will definitely throw the election in favor of the Democrats.
