“Krueger was also known for his research that found that raising the minimum wage did not raise unemployment”

Maybe the realization that everything he ever believed was false was too much to bear.

Well, the spookily named
“Austan Goolsbee” was just that and he seemed to be paraded on FOX news twice a week, spouting the most evasive double-talk I’ve ever heard.

I remember him.
He’s back in Chicago at Mob Headquarters.

Waiting for his connection to the Clinton Foundation to be exposed, because it will be.

Very well put!

Suicide is what happens when you constantly focus on SELF and look at the reality of what your life really is.

Christians (whole other debate on whether they are saved to begin with or not) who commit suicide, do so, because they focus on themselves & not Jesus Christ the perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).

Bad move, because now every member of his family, down to a couple of generations hence, will have the idea of suicide
lodged in their minds.

Clinton Foundation is once again in the news. I’d say this guy knows a lot.

I’ve seen 90 yr. old people that think they can live forever...and want everything done.


My mom was 99 when she started to succumb to her final illness. She said, “I’ve still got things to do, I’ve got a bucket list!”. She most definitely wanted to get better, but she didn’t demand that everything be done to save her. It was about 7 1/2 weeks from the day she couldn’t get out of bed on her own and when she died. Mercifully short. She had been driving herself around town a couple of weeks before.

Did he figure out Trump’s capitalism works better than communism?

Probably caught in the thicket of all these investigations.

LOL!!!

I’m not going anywhere.

Nowhere near suicidal and at almost 51, it just wouldn’t make sense.

At my weight I might not be cutting off that many years!!! :)

I’m working on it. The weight that is. :)

Ya know, I say and think that it has had no effect on me at all.

But who knows?

I do kind of live in an Italian bubble on Staten Island where we have not kept pace with the liberalism of the world so that has sheltered me from it some.

Traditional roles are still pretty normal out here.

But across the water...!!!!!! That’s a different story altogether.!!

AMAZING how several miles of water separate two such DISPARATE cultures!
