Yes. Many religious people including myself feel happy. That's one method.
Others find a purpose in their life to drive toward or dedicate themselves to. Be it art, friends, family, work, learning etc.
I would suggest looking at what you want from life, and asking yourself what the first step is to achieving that. I find that I'm at my happiest when I'm keeping on track with my goals.
My state stupreme court (Wisconsin)ruled that the covid voting measures taken during the 2020 election were illegal. That isn't a conspiracy theory, it's just fact.
Ignoring people's grievances with the process being illegally changed and acting as if it's just a conspiracy theory is just going to drive many to vote forfor Trump.
Are people really surprised by this? Trump was indicted for January 6th just before an election year. I don't condone violence, but it is prone to happen a lot between now and November 2024. Depending on the outcome, there'll probably be a lot of violence immediately after November 2024 as well...
Talking about bringing manufacturing jobs back to the Midwest is a very big one here. Whether or not it actually makes economic sense to do so doesn't matter, the fact is he's saying it. People want to hear that.
I didn't give a solution, just an observation. People are willing to be forgiving since they feel Trump is working for them more than establishment politicians are.
Regardless of what you think of it, populism gets votes.
Yes. This is the power of Trump's populism. It's astounding that coastal Americans still don't understand the suffering Middle Americans are going though that continue to lead to these extreme candidates on the right, but here we are.
Why not go a step further and make huge education mandatory? We used to consider high school optional, but eventually we realized the immense value that comes with an educated society.
This would put us in line with other countries who give loans to college students with no interest. I think it's a great idea, much better than the one time loan forgiveness nonsense that was tried before.
Ever hear the concept of the "house n-word"? They were a slave that was allowed to live in the house as a servant, who also got education such as reading and writing. Didn't change the fact most slaves were living in what amounted to chicken coops for humans.
Tyson got to where he is on his own merits, but there can still be institutional discrimination that prevents other black people from doing what he did.
Another great example of this in science is the Nobel Prize. It is infamously sexist, even excluding people who such as Noether who have contributed physics insights comparable to Newton or Einstein.
I never said anything was impossible, I said it will be a logistical nightmare that will hurt working class people at the expense of office workers. I'm done engaging if you're going to intentionally take my comments out of context. Good day.
Why would my company pay me overtime rather than telling me to go home after 32 hours? My wage will be cut, the only benefit I get is a better work life balance, but that doesn't mean much when I'll no longer be able to afford rent.
I remember people telling us here in the rust belt that bills like NAFTA would benefit us greatly by reducing the cost of living, yet 30 years later we're still suffering and being told to trust the same pencil pushers who promised not to screw us over last time.
Thankfully I don't see republicans letting this bill though. We've suffered enough of this economic experimentation.
Logistics mainly. There's tons of jobs that you cannot just throw more people at to accomplish something, especially in complex manufacturing.
I also don't see how you get paid the same if you're taking 6 hours off. I don't bring congress can mandate private companies to increase wages (other than minimum), and even if they did, businesses will not give that elevated wage to any new hires, making it so people like me have to take a significant wage cut if we wanted to switch jobs.
I know office workers love to brag about how much money they make over bluecollar workers, but that doesn't mean it should ignore how legislation is going to affect people like us who don't have a nice bundle of cash to fall back on. That's how you get people like Trump and DeSantis.
Everyone would be working 40 hours regardless, it's not like you're getting more pay for working 5 eights compared to 4 tens, but if even one customer in a building of 5 customers has overtime, you're going to need support that 5th day.
You can't just throw people and money at logistical problems, they just causes FAR more issues than it solves. Likewise while higher pay is always a good thing for workers, it does not solve any logistical issues surrounding supporting multiple manufacturing lines with a materials deployment that works 4 tens.
