    Nice people can do many things as well as be ill-informed. Anarchist block traffic and other disruptions. Peaceful protesters do not.

    It sure does matter where they protest.

    I'm done being trolled. I said all there is to say.

    Anyone who protests in a location that could affect jobs is an anarchist. Oh, but you mean the point of a protest (i.e. a boycott) is often to affect the almighty dollar so people take notice?

    Unions who picket businesses who engage in what they deem unfair labor practices -- anarchists.
    Women's March who closed down several streets affecting businesses and people's jobs -- anarchists.
    People who try to peacefully sit together at a lunch counter, violating the policies of the almighty restaurant and affecting people's jobs -- anarchist.
    People who disagree with SlyPokerDog -- anarchists.
    People who agree with SlyPokerDog, but SlyPokerDog still wants to argue with them -- anarchists.

    You do realize the optics of protesting at a jobs announcement.

    But keep up with the personal insults. It only shows you have nothing else to offer.

    Was this directed at me? If so, you have a weird definition of a personal insult.

    Directed at me. I found it insulting.

    Simply untrue, BTW.

    So questioning you when you say something outrageous is trolling.

    I accept your defeat.

    Ok, I retract part of my statement. I don't honestly believe you think everyone is an anarchist. However, you do seem to have an insatiable appetite to argue with everyone, including those that seem to agree with you. That's my perception, whether it it's accurate or not. If you still find that insulting, I don't know what to do except to suggest that instead of being insulted, you should take it as honest criticism. What you choose to do with the feedback is your decision. Not all feedback is going to be positive. If you don't want the feedback, then fine. You do you.

    It appears that all the ̶D̶e̶n̶n̶y̶'̶s̶ SlyPokerDogs are a little crazy today.

    Who knows better about abortion than those that actually care about the word. Men have a side show seat.

    So the Harley Davidson executives met with Trump at the White House yesterday.

    Today he's meeting with CEOs to talk about women in the workplace (pro women, women's issues)


    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-s-increase-227-000-while-wage-growth-weakens

    January’s 227,000 increase in payrolls followed a 157,000 rise in December, a Labor Department report showed Friday in Washington. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a 180,000 advance. The jobless rate rose to 4.8 percent, and average hourly earnings grew 2.5 percent from January 2016, the weakest since August.

    The data, representing the final figures under President Barack Obama, indicate the job market is still enjoying steady growth though isn’t tight enough yet to result in a bonanza for worker pay. While analysts expect hiring to cool as the economy nears full employment, President Donald Trump has pledged to bring people back into the workforce and boost wages further through tax cuts, infrastructure investment and looser regulation.
