Wow. That's just hilariously wrong.
I suppose now is the part where we're supposed to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate rations to 20 grams per week, huh?

Until now, I believed you were faking your opinions. (I also believe Russian troll post here) I believed there never was any drinking, so there never was any sobering up. But then you write "lol Gunshot wounds are Covid deaths..." http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=64577 Uh-oh, something’s wrong with 6ix.
What if 6ix has not been faking? What if the 6ix at fireflyfans is real, instead of an elaborate creation for the internet?
I never have any back and forth with people I know who are real life Trumptards because they are too messed up, too short tempered, too unstable. I also avoid political conversations with sun-burnt beggars holding cardboard signs. It is creepy to think 6ix is one of those real life Trumptard, not just somebody faking it.
I feel sad for genuine Trumptards and their squalid lives. They are as icky as Hollywood’s version of the Joker, played by Joaquin Phoenix. But what if real actor Phoenix had killed his actual mother and therapist in real life and been committed to a psych hospital before becoming a movie star? That would be as nasty as 6ix being a real Trumptard, not a troll pretending to be a Trumptard for laughs. If you are a real Trumptard I have to stop because you are too messed up in the head, 6ix. "Nobody died from covid/Trump won." That kind of mental illness. Living on $4,500 per year. That’s messed up, 6ix. Beggars who get $15 per day with their card board signs make more than that in a year:
"I can manage to live quite comfortably on around only $4,500 per year, and that's including property taxes and car insurance." -- 6ix

But what you don't understand is that because I live the life I do the opinions of anybody else about the way I live my life don't matter.
Anybody sitting in judgement of me regarding my finances is doing so from a severe disadvantage. Many of them, in fact.
There's no reason for me to lie about anything in my personal life here. Nobody would have made this story up about themselves and kept it up for years. People will lie online to brag about how rich they are, just like you do, but they don't literally fall apart and come within an inch of destroying their lives on display for everyone to see.
Yup. I was severely fucked up there for a long time. It's why I don't go around recommending that other men live my life. I don't think many could handle it without being fucked up. I had way more than I needed, and I didn't have a wife around to slap me around when I started getting stupid. So I drank for 5 years straight and completely shut everyone out of my life.
I've got a big redemption arc happening here man.
Hope you pull one off yourself one day. It's clear from your own post history that you are not a happy person.

Assuming you actually are alcoholic, you found the power of Jesus, or in your case, Trump, to stop. But without proof of alcoholism, you probably were trolling fireflyfans.net for years just to be trolling.

Quote:When you heard of the article: "Millennials are the highest paid generation in American history" you should have looked closer at the graphs because it shows all the pay gains coming during the Trump administration. Give all credit to Trump. (True credit goes to the top 1%, not to politicians, but since Trumptards profoundly misunderstand how the American economy actually works, Trumptards will blame/credit the wrong people. But Trumptards would not be struggling to stay in the middle class, 6ix, if they understood.)

If China is rolling back capitalism and expanding state control of the economy, this is not good for the Chinese economy.
Free market capitalism may have its problems, but it delivers the goods when it comes to economic growth. China moving even further toward a state-directed economy is almost certain to be a self-destructive move.
It's a funny thing. Back during Cold War 1.0 I felt that right-wingers who hyped the Soviet threat were showing that they didn't have the courage of their economic convictions. The US practiced free market capitalism while the Soviets ran a heavily state-directed socialism. If you really believed in capitalism, you would also have believed that the US would inevitably crush the Soviets and eventually put them into bankruptcy if they tried to keep up (or pretended to).
This is why, aside from the nuclear threat, I was never much worried about the Soviet Union's global ambitions. I did believe in capitalism, and the Soviet Union seemed like a country that would fall further and further behind us until its influence in the world was all but gone.
Now we're stumbling into Cold War 2.0, and China is certainly a bigger economic competitor than the old Soviets ever were. Nevertheless, I still believe in capitalism. China is far behind us economically, and if they're actively backing away from free markets they're unlikely to ever make up the gap.
And that's not all. I'm no China expert, but I've long thought that China is likely to reach a point this decade where they start to have real challenges from both demographic decline and a difficult transition away from a low-wage economy. If they also choose this decade to strangle their economy their problems will only multiply.
I'm all in favor of keeping a gimlet eye on China. Our plan of engaging with them in hopes that they'd become a better actor on the world stage obviously didn't work, and over the last few years it's become increasingly obvious that they consider us their #1 adversary. That said, it would be wise on our part not to overestimate their capabilities or to panic every time they launch a new aircraft carrier. If the Journal is right about their economic direction, we will simply outgrow them, just as we outgrew the Soviet Union.
Have faith in capitalism, China hawks!

Free market capitalism makes a few people very wealthy but robs everyone else: you've posted that yourself.
Now you're posting something completely different.
Tomorrow you'll be posting something different again. That's why nobody takes you seriously.

Quote:Did you see these graphs? Both are on this page. 1kiki, you might not be prospering because you don't pay attention to important "details", like income adjusted for inflation, but the median American is prospering. If you want the median American to get a bigger share than the wealthiest 1% er, that will happen only if tax laws change. The laws won't change because every GOP Senator will be opposed to change and just one Senator can stymie passage of a new law. If every GOP Senator takes turns preventing passage, nothing can possibly change, even if every Democratic Senator wants change.

The relevant article to explain how the GOP can do this is "Ten Ways to Bring the Senate to Its Knees"

Millennials at age ~40 earn quite a bit more than Boomers did at age 40. This is median income adjusted for inflation, so it doesn't include zillionaires and it's real dollars.
But wait. Household income may have gone up because there are more two-earner families than in the past. That's true, so let's look at individual income:

Trump didn't make me stop drinking. Biden* won't make me start drinking.
I have plenty of proof of alcoholism. I've never deleted a post here.

I'm not going to give Trump credit for it, because it's bullshit. I'll let Trump go ahead and take credit for it and let the drones who watch Fox News all day believe him.
I'm not struggling to stay in the middle class, buddy.
I'm doing better than 99% of the people in the middle class, and I hardly have to work.

It remains the case that income growth has been worse for the middle class than for anyone else, thanks to massive growth among the rich and big growth in government assistance among the poor. If you wonder why the middle class feels squeezed, this is part of the answer. They feel like everyone else is doing better, and they're right.
