Sorry, I meant averagejoel, not you TC. I was talking about how hotel workers were on strike with the motto "One job should be enough", and was having a bit of a laugh at how unrealistic it was, and he said that any job should pay a living wage, no matter where you are.

Education, at least college level.

And not really that they're "right" in as much as the Democrats perpetuate the academic industrial complex that has essentially indebted an entire generation.

We bitch about the unsustainable growth of healthcare costs, yet college has grown 8x faster than inflation - eclipsing healthcare.

Although actually the GOP offer no real alternatives, so I guess they're wrong on that issue as well.

Why the fuck should Hawaiians need more than one job?

Conservatives are stuck simply following the traditions of the past of the particular nation (fantasy history or real) they idealize. (every country has different conservatives, who all think they know the One True Way)

The thing they don't deal with is technology and knowledge moves forward to fundamentally change the way we should interact with each other with modern understanding; and so they refuse to update their base thinking (beyond superficials.)

The environment changes, and they don't want to adapt if it means changing (for them) written in stone traditions.

conservatives and progressives are both NIMBYs (for different reasons), only liberals are pushing for better zoning laws really.

Yeah I don't get how conservatives voting for Donald Trump means anything? I mean, look at Trump.

Is he saying liberals would be right if conservatives voted for someone Republican who isn't Trump? Or that conservatives would need to vote Democrat for liberals to be right?

And it's produced the strongest economy ever, record low unemployment for minorities, and 2.5 years without a major terrorist attack.

Which of those things would liberals like to have seen go differently?

You do know that economic cycles aren't predicated on whichever sitting president was recently elected in the last year, yes

I'm sure you know that admiral, you're not stupid and that would be a stupid conclusion

"the economy was shrinking and unemployment rising before Trump took office" is one of those really dumb things you just assume you're right about before everyone points out how wrong you are and you flee the topic and pretend none of this ever happened.

do you ever get tired of living in a really dumb version of groundhog day?

The thing is that conservative predictions about the effect of social changes are usually right, despite whether you think those changes were positive/essential or not.

Even going back to the 1940s, conservatives feared the ushering in of the rock music genre would lead to increased promiscuity, and it did. In the 60s, conservatives claimed that the rise in feminism and women entering the workforce would destabilize the traditional family structure, and it did. In the 2000s, conservatives said that the gay marriage movement would open the door for the acceptance of every type of sexual/gender identity and produce a society where kids would begin sex transitions, and they were right there too.
