Worth the watch.
Worth the watch.
Yet people who had the merits of Christianity drilled into them as kids, of what it means to be a good Christian and human beings, that has been thrown in the trash. Maybe it was Donald Trump’s poison kiss that turned them? In any case the hypocrisy spot light is shining brightly on a substantial portion of the group who call themselves “Christians”. Are there any prominent Christians groups that tout their liberal views and flat out reject Donald Trump? I’ve not heard of any, but not saying they don’t exist.I think the term “conservative” doesn’t apply to the Trump followers at all. They are quite radical in their beliefs.
Incredible: This guy has an American flag avatar, but openly opposes the Constitution in favor of using violence to get what he wants.I just made this quote 5 seconds ago on Facebook. Think it sums up my feelings on modern politics quite well.
The comments in question are concerning a woman being arrested for selling fake vaccine cards, and the terrible unconstitutional tyranny this threat represents to the integrity of these United States. The names have been blanked out to protect the stupid.

I don't know how this guy ended up in my YouTube recommendations, but the first video I saw was the one I posted in this thread.
There is a false standard, get a job and live large, pushed by conservatives, ignoring the reality that we all don’t start in stable secure comfortable middle class families. And if you look at the numbers, if everyone decided to go to college, there would not be enough of those jobs to support all of the college degrees so the idea that “getting a job” solves every problem is a myth. Ask those poor people who struggle at 2 jobs at slave wages. There is a big picture of the support a society should be expected to provide especially moving into the furture of high tech and automation, where millions of jobs were first exported and are in the process of being lost to automation, with millions more to be lost. And greed? There is no place for greed that destabilizes society by a minority who thinks they deserve most of the pie.I think part of the problem is conservatives have been fed "you work hard and pay your taxes" for probably at last a half century as some kind of affirmation that, that makes them exceptional or a hero. It's neither, but it certainly stopped from fighting for what is better for more people and therefor the country. Just focus on working hard and paying your taxes. What's your reward for that? Jack shit. This may come as a shock to some, but many liberals work hard and pay their taxes. They just don't believe that by doing that alone is going to make the world a better place and they get to live like royalty.

A trade is an excellent choice these days. There are millions of cases of working hard, and being rewarded with a comfortable lifestyle.When I was in HS, a college degree was supposed to be the ticket. And since they let me play baseball, I went. I graduated and got a job. Decided that sitting around my house in the evening watching TV wasn't the best use of my time so I went back to school to get an MBA. Took 4 years, but I did get it. Worked for other people some more. Decided I didn't like working for others so I went out on my own. Did a few things and ended up doing home improvement. My time is split between actual physical work and office work, but I much prefer the physical work.
And what I do will not be replaced by automation anytime soon. Nor will a lot of other "trades". So my advice to anyone who is not sure about college is to take some time and see if being in a trade is a good fit. At the beginning I was surprised at the number of college grads who are in the trades, but there are so many of us now it is almost commonplace. But as long as you do a good job and don't cheat the customer, you will always have work.
