What I don't understand is why they don't just build elaborate plush nuclear bomb shelters and then just NUKE the whole dam planet.

Congratulations! You may be as stupid as koan, and that's one tough job. At the turn of the twentieth century most Americans lived on about $2.00 a day. If you understood the processes that increased that by incredible multiples you might begin to grasp the arguments contrary to your infantile mythologies.

Absolutely, what Trump is doing is clear as a bell. He is assembling the top plutocrats in the country with the intention of taking control of the country. The idea that all these billionaires are then going to work for the better good of the worker is really insanity stuff. People need to research the Gilded Age between the Civil War and the turn-of-the-century, when the rich ruled the country to see what happens. Taking just one example, the new Labor Secretary does not believe in a minimum wage above nine dollars, does not believe in paying overtime, does not believe in businesses of providing medical insurance, and thinks his employees are getting paid too much even though he makes more in a day than they make in a year. That is a sociopath; and he has been guilty of paying half his staff below minimum wage and believes in using cheap foreign labor.All he is going to do is work to lower wages. So I would like any conservative on this thread to explain to me why and how they think trump's Labor Secretary is going to help the workers. How in the world can they twist that appointment into something good for the workers? Every single appointment he has made so far are people that literally want to tear down those departments. Trump is looking to literally tear down the social fabric of this country. Get rid of the New Deal.He does not plan to do anything for the workers except exploit and control them. And it is exasperating because Trump supporters seem to have no idea this is what this guy is doing. They're going to follow him right over a cliff. There does not seem to be a spark of understanding among them.
