Bernie Sanders, The Bum Who Wants Your Money


2016: Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said Monday his parents would never have thought their son would end up in the Senate and running for president. No kidding. He was a ne’er-do-well into his late 30s.

“It’s certainly something that I don’t think they ever believed would’ve happened,” the unabashed socialist remarked during CNN’s Democratic town hall forum, as polls show him taking the lead in Iowa and New Hampshire.


He explained his family couldn’t imagine his “success,” because “my brother and I and Mom and Dad grew up in a three-and-a-half-room rent-controlled apartment in Brooklyn, and we never had a whole lot of money.”

It wasn’t as bad as he says. His family managed to send him to the University of Chicago. Despite a prestigious degree, however, Sanders failed to earn a living, even as an adult. It took him 40 years to collect his first steady paycheck — and it was a government check.


“I never had any money my entire life,” Sanders told Vermont public TV in 1985, after settling into his first real job as mayor of Burlington.

Sanders spent most of his life as an angry radical and agitator who never accomplished much of anything. And yet now he thinks he deserves the power to run your life and your finances — “We will raise taxes;” he confirmed Monday, “yes, we will.”

One of his first jobs was registering people for food stamps, and it was all downhill from there.

Sanders took his first bride to live in a maple sugar shack with a dirt floor, and she soon left him. Penniless, he went on unemployment. Then he had a child out of wedlock. Desperate, he tried carpentry but could barely sink a nail. “He was a shi**y carpenter,” a friend told Politico Magazine. “His carpentry was not going to support him, and didn’t.”

Then he tried his hand freelancing for leftist rags, writing about “masturbation and rape” and other crudities for $50 a story. He drove around in a rusted-out, Bondo-covered VW bug with no working windshield wipers. Friends said he was “always poor” and his “electricity was turned off a lot.” They described him as a slob who kept a messy apartment — and this is what his friends had to say about him.

The only thing he was good at was talking … non-stop … about socialism and how the rich were ripping everybody off. “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed,” the bitter layabout said. “I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”

So he tried politics, starting his own socialist party. Four times he ran for Vermont public office, and four times he lost — badly. He never attracted more than single-digit support — even in the People’s Republic of Vermont. In his 1971 bid for U.S. Senate, the local press said the 30-year-old “Sanders describes himself as a carpenter who has worked with ‘disturbed children.’ ” In other words, a real winner.

He finally wormed his way into the Senate in 2006, where he still ranks as one of the poorest members of Congress. Save for a municipal pension, Sanders lists no assets in his name. All the assets provided in his financial disclosure form are his second wife’s. He does, however, have as much as $65,000 in credit-card debt.

debunking the 4 biggest lies about immigrants

TheFreak says...

Totally anecdotal and I don't have a strong opinion on the general topic...but...

My first job out of high school was carpentry, along with a few of my friends. I left that career but my friends stayed in it. When we went on a job site we worked with maybe a dozen highly skilled, well payed career construction workers. Eventually my friends were pushed out of the industry. The jobs went away. Instead of a crew of skilled carpenters, roofers and so forth, what they were replaced with was a crew of low payed, unskilled, illegal immigrants lead by a single foreman who split his time between several job sites.

Now those jobs will be listed as "low paying jobs Americans don't want", with no accounting for the high payed, skilled jobs that were lost.

Horse serenade ends unexpectedly

Because riding a horse is 100% natural. Nothing man made about that.
Good point dude.
>> ^spoco2:


That the hell have those two sentences got to do with each other?
Music has no place in nature... Just a wanky, stupid comment that doesn't at all appreciate how animals make music too through their calls and in some cases using 'instruments' also.
Dick.
A. Nothing - Two different sentences.
B. Animals don't make music. Poetically maybe, but nothing close to what we commonly refer to as music. They don't have our capacity to appreciate composition, they just insticually respond to certain sounds.
C. Dick? All I meant to say is that I hate douche bags that need to have a soundtrack to nature. STFU and listen. You don't need to synthesize or augment nature.
>> ^Gallowflak:


That's funny. Art, literature, music, poetry, carpentry and all other manifestations of human creativity... If there were a god, these are the things to which I would point in order to justify our species.
I do see your point, but it's predicated on the need to justify.

Real-life M.C. Escher perpetual-motion machine

JestJokin says...

Hey Drach, sorry if I offended with the 'bollocks' comment, (I was chillin with Mary J last night) and like you said we'll find out in a couple of days. I think you may have missed my point though.

Either:

.A. Channels and water are real, some columns MAY be added/removed in post-production. (My explanation.)

OR

.B. He created whole 'machine' entirely in a 3D program. (Your explanation, I think?) He would have had set up the same 3-point lighting in the program for the shadows to match. In addition he also had to have either an animated alpha map of himself, or a 3D model (animated to match his movement) to create the shadow that travels across the structure. He also did a pretty good job with the dynamic animation of the fluid flowing up the channel. There would also be several smaller additional scripts for the water as it falls, and splashes off the wheel.

So to conclude, as I said before, it COULD be entirely 'CGI',(not my personal belief, but I'll certainly accept that) but to describe the process as 'a simple trick' does not give the creator the credit he deserves.

.A. = Several hours of carpentry + 2-3 hours on the computer + Setup and planning time.

.B. = At least a week in 3D program (That's being conservative, that alpha mapped shadow animation would be a bitch, no?) + Compositing + Setup and planning.

HOW IS .B. 'A SIMPLE TRICK'. If you can elaborate on this for me, I'd really like to learn the process you would use. Again no offense meant. I have only worked in the field for 10 years and I really only know Maya expertly, so I might learn a thing or two off you if you could explain how you would do it. Cheers J.

US Switching to the Metric System?

jubuttib says...

I wouldn't mind pounds, miles, feet, gallons, ounces and what-not so much if you could at least choose one of each and stick with it. It's like the old joke about which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold. Feathers of course, because gold is measured in troy units and a troy pound weighs less than the more standard Avoirdupois pound. And a Ton can be 2000 (short Ton), 2205 (metric Ton), 2240 (long Ton, or ton shortweight) or 2400 (ton longweight) pounds, depending what definition of Ton you have in mind. And let's not even get started on gallons and ounces.

But yeah, I don't know of a country that is 100% metric yet. Even here in Finland we still use inches (mainly in carpentry, 5" nails, two-by-fours, stuff like that) and horsepowers (though magazines are using the kW as a standard and sometimes omit the hp figure completely, people still use them in everyday speech).

>> ^djsunkid as metric as I am, I think of people's heights in feet and inches... and nothing else, nothing else I measure like that, just height. I know my height in feet and inches, but not cm... weird
I'm the same. I think it's just easier to deal with saying 6'1 instead of 185cm. It's also easier to deal with carpentry. A door is 3 feet wide. Nice, single unit number.
Yet I use metric for everything else.


You say your height is Six One. I say my height is One Eighty. It's not a matter of simpler there, it's just what you're used to. Let's disregard the fact that a smaller base unit (1 inch = 2.5 cm approx) gives you better precision.

Suppose when dealing with carpentry, your door isn't 3 feet wide, it's 3 feet, 2 inches and 1/4 inch. Is that still simpler?

SawStop Tested on Inventor

>> ^Spoon_Gouge:
This is another example of the dumbing down of America. Teach people to use the tool properly. I can see the example given earlier of 10 serious injuries a day jumping to 60+ superficial injuries a day absolutely happening. As an engineer, I applaud the effort and the idea behind it. As a craftsman, I say, learn to use the damn saw properly!


An uncle of mine, with over 10 years of experience in fine carpentry, slipped due to some sawdust and opened his wrist down through a main artery. He was off for over 3 months, and out several thousand dollars in medical and lost wages even with Workers Comp. With this product, he would have fixed the saw, got a bandaid, and finished out his shift.

Even people who know what their doing can make a mistake. This isn't the dumbing down of anything, it's a safer way to work. Hard hats, steel toed boots, airbags in cars... all things that have almost nothing to do with the proper use of anything.

the worlds first city, advanced 9000 year old society

andybesy says...

Civilisation as we know it began with the discovery of agriculture about 9000 years ago.

Where as previously people had lived a nomadic lifestyle and were constantly on the move tracking game and hunting, agriculture caused people to for the first time settle in villages with fields and even irrigation.

Agriculture meant that one man could produce enough food to feed many people, freeing others to specialise is trades such as carpentry. They produced goods and the settlements quickly grew as they attracted trade. The rest, as they say, is history.

I guess this must have been one of the first settlements. The Babylonian tribes are thought to have settled around about the same time around the Euphrates river in what we now call Iraq.

Now I'm off to play Civilisation 4. See you in 12 hours!

Education isn't a commodity like milk, because it has varying levels of quality. However, the analogy with milk is still valid. I can sustain myself in many ways--be it mcdonalds, frozen dinners, milk, vegetables, fruit, or gold-laced packages of caviar. To force an education on me which is more or less expensive, or of higher or lower quality than I would have chosen is economically inefficient.


Ahh, see, that's the problem. I don't want to force you to buy something more expensive, I want to force everyone to pay "their share", and get everyone something as close to gold-laced caviar as I can. People like Bill Gates will pay a lot, people like me will pay a moderate amount, and people who're scraping by pay nothing.

Bill Gates and I are both still capable of spending additional money, out of our after-tax income to buy fancier platinum-laced caviar from an exotic fish, but it doesn't excuse us from our responsibility to others.

You don't make everyone eat the same food, or live in the same size house, so why would you make everyone learn the same way?

I wouldn't, within reason. I'd do my best to make it impossible for people to choose diseased or spoiled food, indigestible items, toxins, and some forms of particularly unhealthy foods (trans-fats, say).

Dropping the metaphor, I think gifted children, children with mental disorders, children from broken homes and "average" children all need different environments -- and while I think parents should be driving that choice, I don't think the costs should be the determining factor.

If I can teach my children with online video lectures, .pdf class notes, and electronic text books--why would you deny me this cost-saving option?

...because they're only cost-saving if you already own a computer and internet connection. If the cost of providing that, plus the license fee for electronic books is cheaper than buying the printed book, I'd happily make it mandatory.

Bureaucracies get a bum rap, but there's no reason they can't be organized in such a way that they encourage cost-savings, or even decentralized cost-savings (e.g. only the "gifted" school uses them). Corporations are able to do this at least some of the time.

Likewise, if I aspire to be a manual laborer--say a carpenter--because it runs in my family--why would you force me to achieve a higher level of education than is economically relevant? If I want to be a doctor, why are you sending me through economics, calculus, and chemistry? Shouldn't I be free to learn these things on my own time--and focus on advancing the skills relevant to my career?

As a student, I often said "I know I want to be a programmer, why do I have to learn history?"

What do you think my teacher said to me? "Because the damned Department of Education forces us, at gunpoint, to teach you things we know will be irrelevant to your life?"

There's a value to educating people in a broad range of subjects, because it makes them more well-rounded individuals, and you never know what might come in handy in your life.

They might even change their mind about carpentry, and decide they want to be a doctor.

It is true you have less "dollar-votes" than Bill Gates, but do you think Bill Gates is going to be buying that much more milk than a typical family? Or that many more loaves of bread? He will be spending money--perhaps on luxury items which you wouldn't buy anyways--

That's why I'm happy to take a big share of his income in taxes...

but he will also be investing the largest portion of his income in small business--like the grocer, shoemaker, or car salesman who just opened business in your neighborhood. That is because all those millions of his dollars aren't just sitting in his closet--they are in a bank, which is giving out loans to business owners like your neighbor, or maybe even yourself.

Sure, but why should he get to choose not to help pay for the education of the people in his community/state/nation? He benefited from it, and benefits from the labors of those educated employees he hires, or those educated entrepreneurs he loans money to.

Doesn't he have a debt to society, since society has given him so much?

There is no such thing as a community. Can you go outside and touch the community? Can you tell me where it is, or what it is currently doing? The community is an illusion--the only thing that exists is the individual. It is individuals that make up the community, and to forsake the individual for the sake of the community is to lose all bearing of what really exists.

I can't touch happiness either...or libertarianism.

Here's the real separation of our beliefs: you hold the individual supreme, I hold the good of society supreme.

There are many different "societies" or "communities" to choose from, families, neighborhoods, nations, book clubs, sports teams, political activist groups, armies, gangs, companies, online communities, etc., but I think people are most moral when they put the needs of the group above their own.

That's why I so happily support judicious trampling of "individual rights" when I think it's truly for the good of the whole (though I don't think "the right to never pay taxes" is really a "right"). I think certain individual rights are vital to the functioning society (e.g. freedom of speech, freedom of religion, habeas corpus, protection from illegal search & seizure, etc.), but I think certain restrictions of behavior, above and beyond the libertarian triumvirate of stealing life, stealing money, and breaking contracts are vital too.

In the case of schooling, I think it's a vital part of society, and we all have an obligation to provide for it, whether we "choose" to or not.

Statements, such as, "keep it real", especially when punctuating or

Furthermore, as determined by the collective consciousness of this state of

manifestations, the role of men as listening receptacles is to be increased
by a number no less than 70 percent of the current enlisted as vocal
aggressors.

Motherfuckers better realize, now is the time to self-actualize
We have found evidence that hip hops standard 85 rpm when increased by a
number as least half the rate of it's standard or decreased at ¾ of it's
speed may be a determining factor in heightening consciousness.

Studies show that when a given norm is changed in the face of the
unchanging, the remaining contradictions will parallel the truth.
