Beautiful country. However, it was a fictional place in Georgia. It was actually filmed in Northern Georgia while yankeesince59 lives South of Atlanta. Northern Georgia is very close to Tennessee. I believe the movie was shot roughly midway between you two rednecks. This proves the old adage that says rednecks fight like cats and dogs. Okay, I made up that old adage, so sue me. At least I don't live near deliverance country although I have lots of cousins down there and in Alabama. By the way, I'm gonna have ham, beans, buttermilk, cornbread, hot peppers and raw green onions soon if you guys are interested. All you have to do is tell me if you prefer lima beans (butter beans to you guys), black eyed peas or navy beans.
We had some guys in our brick laying crew that lived in Rome, Georgia, which is pretty far outside Atlanta, who were the worst rednecks. They were in the volunteer fire department and refused to fight a fire that involved the home of a Black family. They even recounted how they watched and did nothing while a Black family's home burned up. It was the newly arrived only Black family in Rome.
While not a perfect science, Wall St. might be a general indicator as to how the Trump Administration is currently handling things. Despite the deaths (which is a horrible thing), hope is on the horizon.
So if the market goes down again, you'll agree that it's because Trump is doing a terrible job? barfo
It means nothing. It is not an indicator that things are getting better or for fucks sake that Trump is doing anything right. When 90,95% of all stocks are owned by the wealthy, that leaves the vast majority of the country getting no benefit from a couple good days. The government is printing trillions to bail out airlines, cruise lines etc (which they should NOT DO), and yay it’s another faux stock jump. It’s all bullshit. You cannot have millions and millions claiming unemployment and say the economy is heading in the right direction.
Not a chance. Unfortunately, most Trump fans are immune to facts and any criticism is simply spun or deflected.
I will agree that it may be reacting to mistakes made at that point in time. Truly, it appears to be a day-at-a-time exercise.
lol...again, NO. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/sep/18/ro-khanna/what-percentage-americans-own-stocks/ And the rich don't typically invest in 401Ks/IRAs.
Depending on which source is used, as far as I can tell the top 10% in net worth starts with $1,182,390.36...and 145K annual income puts you in the top 10% per Forbes; https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackke...-worth-ranks-compared-to-others/#346a6f0d576f
I think it depends on who you ask. To the people who think "middle class" starts at 175K, they probably have a different # than the rest of us.
Ya never know... https://news.gallup.com/poll/211052/stock-ownership-down-among-older-higher-income.aspx
Well, what I DO know is that the article you cited is 3 years old. I also know that you pointed to "401Ks and IRAs", and not specific stock ownership.
It's my guess that most stock ownership of the middle class, etc., is via personal retirement plans. On that note, I remember in 2008 when my 401k suddenly became my 201k. My wife and have I rolled all of our IRA monies from stocks into tax-deferred real estate.
