Just like when factories are closed and sent to Mexico they should just open check cashing places and nail salons.

Offshoring and globalism killed Detroit. The DemonRat mayors that followed were a secondary infection.

Yes I remember that Coleman Young was mayor when I was there from 81 to 83. Sad to see that city go down.

I equate this Koolaid drinking to gambling.

Addicted gamblers always lose, and big time. Yet the allure of winning big so they can kick back and do nothing the rest of their lives is overwhelming. So they continue on, with their false hopes being the cause of future losses. Eventually they are ruined.

With envy they look at successful people. This could even be the next door trucker pulling in well over 100 grand a year. And the Trucker has all the toys and vacations the gamble wants but cannot have.

Both the lefty voter and the gambler have something in common, they are hate filled and never happy.

Truckers average $70K/yr if they are lucky.

I never saw it that way but you have a great point. Come to think of it, most lefties I know are miserable people and want handouts because of their “life situations”.

Depends on where you live. Up here they start at 100,000. During the height of the oil boom, they gave and extra $500 per month just for showing up to work on time.

It’s hard miserable work, I did it as a kid. My biggest nightmare was when the truck sank frame deep in mud. A D6 cat pulled, another pushed. All brake air lines ripped off. The most fun was hauling the derrick as I drove the tail truck which was always pulled backwards at speeds up to 40 mph.

Any time; it will be interesting how the Dems deal with this internally.
