What else you got?

If that defines sucess in your mind, it's similar o a trader being successful because they never suffered a loss. Because they never placed a trade. let me know how many people Reich ever employed.

Trump's record of "success?" Please. Were it not for The Apprentice, which fictionalized him, he'd be a smudge on the business landscape. And this after inheriting hundreds of millions. Please stop apologizing for him.

Reich never claimed to be a businessman, so you will have to measure him by a different standard. You know that, right? But since you asked about how many people he employed, you might want to ask yourself how many of his creditors did Trump pay on time and in full.

This is the man you are defending?

I just started reading Southern Man, the latest book by Greg Iles.

Here are a small handful of reviews I plucked from Amazon:

"A first-rate political thriller.... an unflinching look at the frightening rise of fascism and Trumpism." — John Grisham, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Iles delivers an insightful, ambitious, and satisfying saga. This is a high water mark in a strong series." — Publishers Weekly

"This is a genuinely terrifying book because of its plausibility—Iles perfectly captures the tinderbox that America is in the post-Trump era. . . .This is a perfectly done political thriller with genuine resonance. Astonishing." — Kirkus (starred review) on Southern Man


But it is because of this passage from the book that I had to start this thread:

...I watched in disbelief as businessmen voted for a repeat bankrupt, laborers for a boss infamous for stiffing his workers, evangelicals for a serial adulterer, women for an admitted sexual assaulter, patriots for a draft dodger who would sell his country's secrets for a trivial gain, educated men for an ignoramus. But they did so with fierce gladness in their hearts. Because what their chosen one had done was open Pandora's box--yes, the old one, filled with the ancient calamities of race hatred and rage and cruelty and bloodlust and infinite greed--and tell them that these things were the remedy for all their grievances, that all their anger was justified, and most important: None of what ailed them was their own fault--or ever had been.

They took to that like infants to a honeyed tit.

The problem, as any midwife can tell you, is that honey can kill babies under a year old. It carries botulism spores, lethal to those without antibodies. The gospel of Trump is just as lethal, and unlike poisoned honey, highly contagious. Worst of all , it demands an adversary...as all great stories do.

The Other.


I've read all of Iles's books, and I'm sure this one won't disappoint.

The first of his books that I read was Mortal Fear in 1998 about a commodities trader with a side gig as a systems operator for an exclusive, anonymous erotic online service that caters to the rich and famous.

The man is an excellent writer.

So, give me the standard that allows Reich to criticize anyone's business success.

Seems like you glossed over a colossal mistake, NAFTA. That should have sent Reich underground into a 5' deep hole

"if you're very old, we're not going to give you all that technology and all those drugs for the last couple of years of your life to keep you maybe going for another couple of months. It's too expensive. So we're going to let you die."

Robert Reich
