Rudy ran for Mayor based on his conviction of a local NYC politician named Donald Manes. Rudy was handed the case by a reporter named Jimmy Breslin, who did all the digging. Rudy got in by riding someone else’s hard work. He was never the great attorney he’s been pretending to be.
The analogy I like is that Trump is the football coach who gave the team steroids and meth. The college leaders were fine when the team started winning games, and are now concerned because the team is burning the school down.
This is what the extreme Right did. The Moral Majority would show up at every local GOP meeting. If the local club usually had twenty people at the meeting, the MMs would show up with fifty. Picking the candidate for dog catcher or justice of the peace? The MM were there and they made sure they got their candidate in.
Nixon did something similar. After he failed to win the Senate seat he hit the road and campaigned hard for every GOP he could find. By 1968 he had dozens of delegates to the national convention in his pocket.
Reagan signed a contract so bad that even arch-conservative Bob Hope called it a ‘give away.’ He made it possible for talent agencies to become producers, so the guy negotiating your contract was also your employer. On top of that he spied on his members for the FBI.
If you look up the actual article you’ll see it went as I wrote. In that particular case, the wife was earning less, so it made sense for her to give up her job.
Anything you’ve added is on you.
If you’re not dating because ‘men aren’t worth it’ that says more about you than it does about the men.
It started with Ronald Reagan going after PATCO, the air traffic controllers’ union. They had supported him in the 1980 election, one of the few Unions to do so. When they went on strike, he fired them all, and refused to rehire. The FAA was left scrambling for controllers.
Whenever you look at the death of the American dream, you see Ronnie Reagan.
In the Wall Street area of Manhattan, some of the biggest buildings are already being converted to apartments. It’s been a trend for a while, because the older buildings are too expensive to rewire for computers/HVAC.
Pre-pandemic. Maybe 2005 [?] one of the big American news companies assembles a team of financial experts to study various big companies. Then they deicde to apply all that brain power to an average American family. Husband and wife with three kids, two jobs and two cars. Both have middle class jobs. After running the numbers, the experts told the wife to quit her job. The savings on childcare, running the second car, no fast food dinners, etc. more than made up for the second salary.
Some one claimed that they knew climate change was a hoax because there have been Ice Ages in the past.
So, you believe the scientist who tells you there was an Ice Age 60,000 years ago but don’t believe the same person when they tell you that climate change is real.
