Subj : Chinese Scientists Cr To : Rob Mccart From : Aaron Thomas Date : Thu Feb 20 2025 13:48:18 RM> I appreciate you being polite about this stuff. I hesitated to write RM> this note in the first place expecting nasty arguments. Just take from RM> it that my sources of information are different from yours and it's hard RM> to say which is right or if the correct answer lays between somewhere. That's a good point. It's important to never trust the outer layer of what the media says. You can get some truth out of what they say, but only if you decode it first. RM> AT>How do you see Trump favoring the rich? RM> RM> It was just reported that he has promissed big tax cuts to the rich RM> and that he expected to use the tariffs to pay for it. I haven't heard about that promise, but are they referring to corporations? Tax cuts for corporations can lead to good things for average Americans, and it can prevent them from taking their business overseas. RM> But prices can't stay this high or wages will catch up to match. RM> I bought my first place on a high too and, although prices didn't RM> drop, they didn't go up any more for the next 8 or so years either RM> so the incomes eventually caught up with the costs. Incomes catching up with costs sounds like a fairy tale. Does that really happen? I've never seen it happen before. RM> That's interesting.. and things these days are screwed up in one place RM> or another. My niece is a teacher in younger grades, K to 3, and she's RM> been punched and hit with objects by 'problem' kids and the school RM> system does nothing about it other than tell her she CAN NOT ever grab We have a similar issue in NY with prison guards being attacked by prisoners, and they're not allowed to fight back, so they're protesting (this is right now.) RM> a kid to stop them. For a while one principal had removed all books RM> from the school library that had white people in them. I had to ask RM> her twice to clarify that, and that's correct. They only had books RM> there that had minority characters in them. Fortunately the next RM> principal a couple of years later backed off on that. Similar events have taken place here. The left used to complain about equality, and now that we've achieved that, they seem to be taking us back to inequality once more. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/04/30 (Windows/64) * Origin: JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTP:80 (1:342/201) .
