In July 1978 60% of teenagers 16-19 years old worked, but in August 2026 only 32.8% do

Bring back the cult of work.

 

 

There were 25.89 million prime working age people 25-54 years of age in America just like Abdul who didn't work in August 2026, but Abdul says we have a cult of work

 We have 11.76 million teenagers 16-19 years old, 7.45 million college kids 20-24 years old, 25.89 million core adults 25-54 years old, and 67.63 million people 55 or older, all of whom did not work in August 2026.

That's over 112 million eating but not working.

They can't all work, obviously, but if each group lived up to its own past peak performance, 13.27 million more across all groups could in fact be working who are not working.

That 13.27 million more working is just 11.8% more.

GDP sucks in part because we aren't working up to our past potential.

As I incessantly point out, the key to a happy life is a full time job, because it allows you to arbitrage it for a car, a home, a spouse, and children.

Peak full time in America was in July 2000 when 54.67% had a full time job. In August 2026 just 49.14% did. The difference between those two points at current population is an extra 15.2 million full time jobs which we don't presently have.

America is a much bigger place now than in July 2000, too, by 63 million in civilian non-institutional population. Shouldn't that also make us stronger? 

Do we really think an extra 15 million out of 112 million is dreaming the impossible dream?  

We need leaders who don't think so.

But this guy . . . 

 

 

Trump's Overton Window to crazy in Michigan: Antifa DSA Democrat Will Lawrence seeks MI-7 seat, wants to abolish old people, police, prisons, fossil fuels, the U.S. Senate, borders, capitalism, and the nuclear family

Yes, Michigan can produce worse than Abdul.

She may be against Abdul, but she is hopelessly confused

 

Abdul El-Sayed sure has a chip on his shoulder about 911

 

Ah yes, the all too familiar non-apology apology

 El-Sayed Apologizes For Comments About Michigan Synagogue Attack

Others may have "misconstrued" his words "hurt people hurt people".

If you were hurt "I'm really sorry".

Grand Rapids' own Democrat Hillary Scholten (MI-3) will not be associated with Abdul El-Sayed because of Hasan Piker

Scholten has much higher standards than Haley Stevens.

They are also the correct standards. 

Respect.

 

Abdul emphasizes that your private health insurance goes bye-bye under Medicare For All

He's not "public option". He's Medicare For All.

Otherwise known as: Private Health Insurance For Nobody.

 

Somebody get that guy a riser to stand on

 

OMG Abdul's sister is Antifa lol

No borders! No walls! No USA at all!

 

The Party of AOC and Rashida commemorates Fidel yesterday, demands reparations for Cuba just like Abdul El-Sayed does for the Indians lol

 Abdul El-Sayed is not a member of DSA. No, no, no. His policies just closely mirror DSA's.

 

From the deleted tweet department of Abdul El-Sayed, Thanksgiving means that the evil American Empire should pay reparations to the Indians

Don't tell me he wasn't a kindred spirit of Francesca Hong.

 

Some of the politically damaging self-owns which Abdul El-Sayed has scrubbed from his youtube channel

Some of the politically damaging self-owns which Abdul El-Sayed has scrubbed from his youtube channel:

 

Opposition to fireworks

Support for defunding the police

Southern border security not one of the top five problems

Support for replacing 2nd Amendment right to firearms with 2nd Amendment right to healthcare

Support for abolishing prisons

Party of Violence: Democrats have nominated a Jihadi for U.S. Senate from Michigan and an Ojibwe warrior for U.S. Senate from Minnesota

Real Clear Polling reported out Craig by +5 on June 17, Craig Tied with Flanagan on July 22, Craig by +2 on August 7, but Flanagan won by almost +20.

 

If ever the polls were meant to shape the campaign, not measure it . . .

 

Joe Biden's national policy director for his 2020 campaign is pissed off a health care CEO gets $20 million a year while the nation's employees aren't taxed on their health insurance compensation, depriving the federal government of $500 billion a year

 That's the single largest tax loss expenditure on the list of tax loss expenditures.

Adding health insurance benefits for employees was a WWII era work-around to FDR's anti-capitalist wage controls, instituted to curb inflation.

When too many were unavailable to do the work because they were off fighting the war, the price of work sky-rocketed. Adding untaxed health insurance benefits helped employers attract and keep workers during wartime.

The untaxed health insurance benefit was & remains tax-free compensation, estimated as today's single largest tax loss expenditure at $500 billion/year.

But Biden's national policy director for his 2020 campaign goes off on a $20m CEO because high compensation earners are the easy target she only pretends are the problem instead of the one you see in the mirror every morning not paying taxes on everything you make.

She needs your votes for the public option, and isn't going to get them by telling you the truth.

The public option, to be sure, would have been superior to the Obamacare Rube Goldberg machine, and is clearly preferable to Medicare For All because the latter would end employer-provided health insurance.

But as with FDR it's still not capitalism, and if you push here something is going to pop out over there and become a problem. The iron laws of supply and demand will always assert themselves, but with capitalism the consequences are immediate, severe, and self-correcting by the market.

If you tax health insurance benefits, you will simply get less health insurance of the kind we have, accompanied by more cries for options from the marketplace for the health insurance we don't have, which if free to provide them . . . will.

Meanwhile a comprehensive federal income tax reform taxing all income at high rates above $102,230 for a single filer and $136,306 for married filing jointly as of June 2026, and at 0% below, is the place to start to reimagine fairness in the United States.

84% of individual earners made less than $100,000 in 2023. The vast majority of them would not notice that an average of $9,500 of employer provided health insurance was being counted as income under the new threshold of $102,230 because they would owe zero taxes anyway. 

We need more reality in economics and less fiddling with it, and certainly none of what Abdul is selling, which will require taxing everybody, not just the rich, much more. He is selling "free at the point of care", but nothing is free. Nothing.

 

 

Trump: Our socialism goooood, their socialism baaaaad

House Republican Rips Trump Admin Taking Stakes In 30 Private Companies: ‘Not the Conservative Position’

 

... In the clip Bacon shared, Lincicome fumed, “The reality is that, since last June, we’ve gone from the government owning zero shares in zero private companies to now owning equity stakes in 30 different companies. In some cases, the government is now the largest shareholder.” ...

 

It's pretty hard to run against Abdul's proposal for a 50% federal ownership stake in AI companies with a 50%+1 federal presence on their boards of directors when you do the same thing, which is probably why no one is talking about Abdul's proposal. 

These were dogwhistles from Abdul El-Sayed to his base which thinks Jews and their money drive war with Iran, genocide in Gaza, and apartheid in Israel

 It's all so Michigan, amirite?

The U.S. Senate seat from Michigan is beside the point. It's merely a stepping stone.

He's running for president, on the Obama model, but with a higher purpose in mind.

It's a Jihad to remove America as Israel's protector. 

 

Man, this was clearly a homosexual slur from Abdul, a dogwhistle to his base of support, he just left out the butt in butt-boy

 

Why do Jews in America need protection . . . from this man?
