Trump

A friend of mine said that the people working in manual and industrial jobs in America were being ignored and that their standard of living had been going down progressively ever since the 70's. Is there any truth to this?

I have not researched this, so someone else might have a more accurate answer.

That said, I find it hard to believe that the actual standard of living had been going down progressively ever since the 70's. Why? Think about the things we all have (including those with manual and industrial jobs) that we either didn't have or had but now are "better': Cell phones, computers, TV's, refrigertators, cars, trucks, etc....

Now, as a comparison to people with other work/career paths: Yes.... probably true.

Of course either way this is unrelated to Trump.

President Donald Trump's new personnel chief told agency officials at a meeting on Thursday to expect staffing changes and movements across the government, people familiar with the meeting told CNN.

A White House official said John McEntee, the President's former body man who was elevated to run the presidential personnel office, made it clear his office will be on the lookout for staffers across the bureaucracy who are seen as disloyal to Trump.

President Donald Trump's top trade adviser Peter Navarro said Friday he has been "hunting" for the author of the anonymous New York Times op-ed and the book, "A Warning,"

Kim Jong Un must be so proud of his protoge'
... or would that be Putin?

Why don't posts 7812 and 7813 not show when I'm not logged on?

When Rocka-Bama say this is my good ecomonomony best believe honey-chile he didn't build that!!!

What is the difference between the public and registered members option?

Yes, real wages vs inflation and the cost of living have been declining in the US since the 70's. Here's an article from Forbe's . This one is on more recent statistics.
In the 60's and 70's it was not uncommon for US families to have one income earner and a stay at home mom. This is no longer the case, most families both parents work. The cost of living has outpaced wages.

It’s all about what you are letting be public or not.

Public means that you are letting literally anyone who happens to look at this site see your posts.

Registered members means you are only letting people who have accounts and are actually logged in to their account see your posts.

But as stated by Mr, if you use certain words, a particular post might be “blocked” or looked “edited” to anyone not logged in.

Ok thanks for that. It is set to Public so I guess the word R4PE in the news article caused it?
