Endless language wars, liberal flags and other comments

From left: The Endless Language War

“We are in an era where every news controversy devolves into a sub-controversy about language, often accompanied by hasty instructions on good terminology,” grumbles Racket News’ Matt Taibbi.

Like “referring to ‘undocumented’ rather than ‘illegal’ immigrants.”

But now even sing very offensive: “today’s sensitivity to victim status may be tomorrow’s callous indifference to social conditions.”

But “in words, people always choose character over truth, that’s how you know Latinx will end the slur for something, if academics succeed in forcing it on the population.

And “Year Zero attraction with the rewriting of history is all a piece. Change is good, but when we start to change the change, it’s a sign on the road to Crazyville. And we’re hanging on.”

Libertarians: Liberals’ Flag Lies

“The idea that the Pine Tree flag or flying the American flag” is “an endorsement of Trump’s election-related wrongdoing is ludicrous,” but “Democratic politicians and media figures” cited the flag as the reason Justice Samuel Alito “had to sit out of the case on January 6, “said Reason Robby Soave.

“The American flag is generally reversed by activists representing various issues,” while “the ‘Paradise Appeal’ flag has a similar use” – “The Black Lives Matter movement used it just a few weeks before January 6. , “and the San Francisco City Hall flew “for decades,” only delete “in response to the Alito controversy.”

“The picture of the pine tree is not a right-wing symbol of hate; cowardice is one.”

Eyes on Albany: Rushing to Protect ‘Cadillac’ Profits

The latest drive “to block changes to retiree health coverage for state and local public employees” will be the most extensive and the most expensive – and more than two-thirds of state lawmakers support it,” warns Ken Girardin of the Empire Center.

Nearly all public employees in New York can maintain a “health insurance plan (usually gold or platinum level)” in retirement, “with little or no personal contribution required” — a benefit that is “missing from employee compensation packages in most private sector.”

NY “public employers have pledged more than $300 billion in retiree health benefits and have set aside little to pay.”

The legislation would prevent efforts to reduce those costs, such as moving retirees to Medicare Advantage. Governor “Hochul should prepare to use his veto pen to protect taxpayers.”

Budget Expert: Joe’s Tax Hike Will Hit Labor

President Biden’s White House “complained that ‘companies received huge tax cuts in 2017,'” and vowed to raise them in the interest of fairness, note Kevin Brady & Douglas Holtz-Eakin in The Wall Street Journal.

“But Trump’s tax cuts are a boon” for workers, stimulating “business investment” and restoring the global competitiveness of US companies.

“For workers, the 9% increase in inflation-adjusted earnings between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2020, is the fastest growth since the government began publishing data in 1979,” but “company tax revenues are now higher than predicted in 35% level.

The increase “will be funded” by shareholders, workers and customers. “This is an important moment to preserve opportunity” for US workers.

Liberals: Top Vote Issue Inflation

Inflation appears to be an issue that could “revive Americans with the least political interest,” reported John Halpin of the Liberal Patriots, as polls showed 47% “inflation is their number one most important issue.”

“It means that when we examine the personal financial situation of Americans who have no interest in politics,” as “six out of ten voters who only pay attention to current public affairs or hardly say that their personal finances are poor or very poor. Today, compared to less than half of people who pay attention to politics some or most of the time.

To win over these voters, “the best way is to offer a credible and credible plan to address their deep concerns about the high cost of living.”
