Why would you not vote for Trump or Clinton be specific.

Automation in the grocery store. My hubby and I refuse to use the self checkout lines. Takes away another worker and besides that we have seen people in those lines having nothing but trouble and takes 2 or more employees to get everything straightened out which takes away from the regular checkout lines which makes a longer wait. Take those suckers out!

I'm hearing stories of "I don't know what I'm going to do now" and "I haven't' slept since the election" Well, I'm going to get up in the morning and go to work just like always. Trump doesn't scare me, why should he? Why should anyone be scared of him? Unless your maybe doing something you shouldn't, being in the country illegally, ridin that river of unemployment benefits. Then I could see being a little worried.

I have friends on Facebook that went absolutely hysterical like that the night of the election, ranting, screaming, saying they were having panic attacks/chest pains, swearing they were going to move to Canada, etc... Seriously???

Sadly, we have a nation of scaredy cats and cry babies. Colleges cancelling classes so students can all sit around and wail about losing. Really? Safe spaces?

Same here. I can't believe how many absolute whiners i know. Now they are petitioning to override the electoral college... oooookay. So you know the rules before the game starts, you play the game, you LOSE the game, then you want to change the rules? That makes all kinds of sense.

Same here, I've told store employees I won't use them because the jobs. The first time I did use one, I had alcohol purchase and the thing wasn't able to check my ID without additional human interaction.

The "safe space" thing kills me. Once you are 18, you are an adult. Life doesn't have a safe space. And cancelling classes? Where I went to college they cancelled classes ONCE--and that was because the entire campus had a massive power outage. Current events, blizzards, floods...didn't matter--class was still on. If anything, we had some of THE best discussions in class after elections or other major events.

I just sit back and bask in the glory knowing that the fate of my country is in the hands of a strong drama teacher leader with a speech impediment and a penchant for spending our dollars all across the World while ignoring those within his own borders.

"Trudeau" translated from French means "water hole". He's some kind of 'hole, that's for sure.

The basis for my thinking about the economy starts with this video.
It's a 3 part series, the first 2 parts are the best. At the end, instead of thinking about individuals going bankrupt, think about countries going bankrupt.

This takes a long time to watch and even more to absorb but well worth it. Maybe the Illuminati conspiracy isn't so far off. Especially seeing the quote at the end from David Rockefeller.

Political commentary from a drug addict that blew his own head off with a shotgun.

A wise man, indeed.

@morewater Nobody said he was wise, but what he said did happen. Just an interesting fact from a young person during that time in life.

Right, and it's also easy to see why banks keep trying to get people to sign up for more and more credit cards.
The more "promises" the banks can get from people, the more "money" they have available to loan out.
The people that know how the debt system works will take advantage of it while the banks don't really care if the credit cards are paid back or not because the credit card agreement you signed now gives the bank the right to go after your assets (or you'll feel a moral obligation to pay them back anyway), at bargain basement prices where the people at the top of the financial system can then come in and buy them up.
In order for our financial system of debt to work people and countries have to go bankrupt.
It's easy to see then how there is a growing disparity between the rich who know how the financial system works and the poor who don't.
Not good.

It's also easy to imagine where our economies would be without debt. We would be back in the stone age trading goats and chickens, not getting anywhere.
So in that case, debt is a good thing. Quite the dilemma, except we are now approaching the point where whole countries are going to have to start declaring bankruptcy. That will lead to changes towards more extreme governments and living through the consequences of their decisions.

Some of the problem is people want every new thing they see ,they don't think abut can I afford it or not .Credit cards are a big problem with the young and then when they ruin there credit rating .oh well .

Yep, but even with a bad credit rating, there are companies that will offer credit with even higher interest rates - Payday loan companies for example.
All financial institutions want is a person's promise to pay back the debt. If the debt is not paid they know that everyone has to earn an income to live and they can always garnishee your wages. The financial system will eat people alive that don't know what is happening.
I think the video I posted should be a part of every adolescent's education.

If we can't pay our credit card off each month w/o paying interest on it we don't buy. We only have one card and it's one that earns money on what you spend(Costco Visa card). At the end of the year we get money back. When younger we never had a credit card, only bought what we could afford. Never went into debt. Not so nowadays. People use credit and figure if they run it up too high they will get out of it in the end. Some people want as much as they can get for nothing! A relative of ours ran up their credit so high they could never pay it back. Went bankrupt and their lawyer said they should run them up higher before they file
