I've been posting about democrats unwittingly espousing

...the libertarian dream economy for weeks!!! These Democrats are too transfixed by their smartphones that they don't understand, even after you explain it too them, that the tech driven gig/sharing economy is driving wages down, replacing full-time jobs with benefits with these glamorized "be your own boss" 1099 jobs. Uber is wreaking havoc on the cab industry at the same time disgruntled Uber drivers are suing Uber nationwide over its business model. Under its current business model, Uber avoids paying into social security and has gamed the tax system by hiding their income in shell companies in the Netherlands and Bahamas.

Airbnb is impacting both housing and smaller hotel industry. In San Francisco, affordable housing is getting squeezed out because landlords can make more money on Airbnbs. While Airbnbs employ no one, they are taking business from smaller hotels that do employ full-time workers. Further, in many cases, Airbnb is another source of income for people with 2 homes. My friends post pictures of the Airbnb they stayed at and they are gorgeous. It's just another redistribution of income from the middle and lower class to the upper class.

Venture capitalists Nick Hanauer made a fortune off his investment in Amazon, but he says "We don't create jobs. Amazon didn't create jobs, it destroyed 1 million jobs."

The very power elite Libertaian Democrats Jeff Bezos, Hollywood agent mogul Ari Emanuel and his brother, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, and Microsoft fuel the gig/sharing economy and they are taking liberal democrats with them.

Anyone with half a brain would know that

...destabilizing the Middle East first, then coming back for seconds a decade latter to destabilize Libya are the 2 biggest foreign affairs blunders in US history. Pappy Bush warned removing Saddam was a really, really bad idea!

How Hillary is winning the foreign affairs debate is mind boggling. She made the 2 worst decisions in US history!

All shits and giggles for Hillary.

Amplified modifies terror and media manipulation

...modifies people who are feeling terrorized by what they are seeing in the media.

Do you think this is an isolated incident - white students peacefully supporting their black brothers and sisters - or is this an isolated incident? Have you seen these demonstrations covered by the media or have you only seen stories about white students, frat boys that are terrorizing black students?

Did you know that some white teammates expressed their support for their black brothers? Maybe you're in a bubble...

You know, the media likes to amplify what will

...most terrify others, but whites join with blacks. It's a sad commentary if you've been manipulated to believe otherwise.

I wouldn't stop there

...white youth are finally feeling devalued. They're realizing they're no longer entitled to the American Dream. They're realizing they have something in common with blacks - no future.

Yesterday I likened it to the Tea Party in that

...the universities built their empire on the shoulders of athletes who know understand they could bring down the house of cards in one week.

It will be interesting to see what Northwestern football players do. Last year they tried to form a union but were denied.

Granddaddy of all ironies: they are Calvinists

As much as they pillory the French, they owe their entire Christian ideology to a Frenchman, Jehan Cauvin.
