Members Khan Posted January 10, 2018 Members Share Posted January 10, 2018 Is there any way we could nationalize voter registration laws? You know, make it so that each and every state has to have the same laws for allowing people to vote in elections? Because, it seems to me that the laws change from state to state. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted January 10, 2018 Members Share Posted January 10, 2018 DI is getting out, IMPO, because he sees the party is sinking and doesn't want to get voted out. he may have a strong Dem contender and people in Cal. who have had it with his behavior. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted January 11, 2018 Members Share Posted January 11, 2018 I've been there. My heart goes out to all of those losing their jobs, and hopefully all of them won't be out of work for long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 11, 2018 Members Share Posted January 11, 2018 I wonder if more focus will ever go onto the loss of retail jobs. It's already been talked about here, but I haven't seen anyone with any actual power trying to stem the tide. I read that the loss of retail jobs - 20,000 over the holiday season no less - is why the last jobs report was underwhelming. The media loves to talk about Joe Palooka and Heartland Jane and mention coal mines and factories, but they don't talk about the local K-Mart or Sears. It's not romantic enough. It's too ordinary. Instead they lionize people like Jeff Bezos who from what I've read is not someone worth lionizing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted January 11, 2018 Members Share Posted January 11, 2018 ^ I don't think we have any better chance at stemming the tide of retail job losses than we do manufacturing. Maybe even less chance. It's one thing to manipulate a market that is largely business to business with tax incentives or penalties. Not that I think that will work long term, but it's relatively straight forward. On the other hand, how do you make people shop brick and mortar when it's less convenient and more expensive? Making sure Amazon had to collect state sales tax was a step in the right direction, I guess. Still, does it really make it any more likely people will head to the mall? I can also see why some people think coal and manufacturing jobs are more worthy of saving. Not that I agree in the case of coal, but at least those jobs pay a living wage with benefits. The fall of retail comes with some big problems that go beyond job loss though, there's no denying that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 11, 2018 Members Share Posted January 11, 2018 Nobody cares about the retail job losses because most of those workers are female and minority. Remember that the only working class people that matter are white. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
