Politics Coronavirus crisis shows need for wealth tax, basic income, Financial Times editorial argues

I don't feel like this is un-American, but more dangerous than anything. 1900 Europe. I'm not trying to play that game. Globalism is our current status. We are better united than we are divided.

 

We are not united now though. In fact, trying to force this "unity" through majority rules and tells minorities to shove off has the opposite effect on unity.

 

So don't throw your vote away and unite behind Joe Biden. Then you won't be a minority.

You're welcome for me solving your problems. Got any marriage problems you'd like me to solve next?

 

From where?....Trump has taken care of that for us.

American farmers are bracing for a shortage of seasonal workers following the State Department’s suspension of routine immigrant and nonimmigrant visa processing in Mexico, including for temporary migrant laborers, beginning Wednesday.

The delay in visa processing for farmworkers comes just as harvest season begins in Florida. Companies responsible for feeding the country are already expecting fewer available workers to manufacture, deliver and unpack groceries as the coronavirus pandemic intensifies.

The seafood industry, including fisheries and crab-picking in Maryland, whose hiring season starts in April, will also be affected by the U.S. government’s decision.

 

Temporary shutdown due to coronavirus. They should be back.

 

Maybe he wants to stay married? ...j/k ...couldn't resist.

 

This has promise. Let's start with this proposal and refine it. How about getting rid of all humans except me and those I personally like? That could work.

 

Well, of course. We'll need adjusted versions of popular and semi-popular songs in our new society.

 

Not this year...most crops are already in the ground or ripe and rotting in the field.

 

Yep. Well, not much you can do about that now. Hopefully they develop machines that can pick crops like the migrants do.

high tech farming is the future!

 

They do have such machine for some crops most most still have to be picked by hand.

 

In smaller populations, minorities can be much louder with their needs and not get drowned out. Also, geography plays a big role in what people need from their government.
Democracy is fine, but it seems to fall apart the more people and voices there are.

 

RIP Kenny.

 

There's plenty of people sitting on their asses at home with nothing better to do... But the majority of people think they are 'too good' to do that type of work.

 

I have grandkids that could catch the berry & bean bus at 4:30 am every morning.

 

There may be some crops that are close to being ripe this time of year... but not the majority.

The majority of the US is just beginning Spring and starting to warm up. Most crops will not be ripe until mid-summer.

 

I'm going to have to say it but this is just wildly ridiculous. It's exactly what Abraham Lincoln went to war over.
No we are not diverging. Not now, not ever.
We have much much much, infinitely more in common than we have that divides us. Yes, US!
