    "Foolishness"? How dare you! I'm basing all my moves off your playbook vs. YF!

    Can someone explain to me why a Va. state senator is in Syria meeting with Assad?

    Wait a second, you're going on and on and on about my post and me making an analysis because of one billboard, while everyone here goes on and on and on and make a political analysis of what is going on over one tweet? Or one comment by some talking head?

    @Azrael made an analysis of the GDP and the economy over an MSNBC screenshot. Why didn't you jump on his screenshot which was posted not long after my billboard observation? Or why are you not challenging the other members who are making political analysis against Trump via a screenshot of tweets?

    Because I only have so much time in my day, and I choose to devote a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of it to this place. If I chose to call out every flawed political or economic analysis on here, I'd lose my job in no time. And responding to your billboard post (and subsequent posts) is usually as time-consuming as saying "Nope, wrong." It is the kind of easy discourse I actually have time for.

    I know you probably want to point out some hypocrisy here, like I'm only responding to you because you're conservative, but you'd be wrong. I actually lean more conservative, while still hating Trump. If a left-leaning person on here said they think the economy is tanking because of a billboard they saw, I'd be just as quick to point out "Nope, wrong." But only you have gleaned the health of the economy from a single billboard. Thus, nope and wrong.

    Also, Azrael didn't say that screenshot told him something about the economy. He said "Discuss."

    It's been well-documented that some major U.S. railroads are offering substantial bonuses to attract workers, and those are for good-paying union jobs. Part of that has to do with the fact that the RRs require new hires to put in as many as two years in some remote locale, and the fact that many young people just don't want to do physical work "on the ground."
